Angel Wing?

[ANiceKaren]

Hi friends! I have a three day old GLW who seems to have a little weird wing. Is this “Angel Wing?” Do you think this will heal on its own or is it just normal? Is she in pain? She seems very happy, eating, drinking.. all normal.

Angel wing is more likely in water fowl than in chickens. Sometimes when wing feathers are coming in they look a bit wonky but they straighten out as they grow and fill in. I don't see anything alarming in your pictures, I do think it will probably be fine given some more time and growth. Certainly, if it looks to get worse, then let us know.
