Can you post a more close up pic of the wings? It sounds like they could have been clipped at some point before you got the bird, but I can't tell from the picture above. You might want to give her a lower roost if you can so she doesn't injure herself trying to fly up and down.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. From what I see, it looks like your new bird may be a frazzle, (a frizzle with 2 copies of the gene.) The feathers on a frazzle are short and more brittle compared to a typical frizzle. Frazzle feathers can break off too which is why you may be seeing pin feathers. You said this bird is 4-5 months old but that is a VERY red comb, face and pronounced set of wattles for a female of that age. If this bird is the age you were told, it definitely looks like a male to me (sorry!). Cockerels do flap and slap their wings together and kind of stand up tall and lean back when they do this. So maybe that could be an explanation for the flapping ??? Hopefully it's not something more serious. Maybe others will jump in to offer their thoughts too.

It does look frazzled and a rooster for that age.

@spazy67 I've actually never seen a frazzle, but it sure sounds logical to me. Very pretty though! I also have a feeling you will be hearing some crowing very soon too.

Ok think I got a better picture of the color

she looks so peachy at times so I sure am hoping Spazy on the other hand had everyone convinced he was a boy for a long time but heck 7 mo and no eggs but she sure acts like a girl
