6 day old chick droopy wings

[Seed223]

We have a 6 day old Lavender Olive Egger chick who seems to have droopy wings (see attached photo)... none of the other chicks seem to have this and I’m wondering if she is sick? She keeps chirping and I’m not sure if she is maybe in pain or not. She is eating and drinking well and seems alert and active otherwise. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I don't know what to tell you. But it's always good news if they're eating and drinking on their own.

Are the wings otherwise in good condition?

Yes, she seems totally fine otherwise. I ended up finding a thread where someone said their wings grow so fast that sometimes their muscles aren’t strong enough to hold them up so just wait about a week and she will catch up. I’m gonna just hope that’s the case here! Such a learning curve with chickens!!

She looks ok to me - if not a bit tired Check in after a week if she’s still doing it.

Thank you!!
