My baby chicken at about 1 month and a week occasionally has her wings hanging down.She looks healthy and always perfectly fine and active but sometimes one wing hangs limp and she freaks out.She looks under her wing and she like trys to fix it or something and she starts to yell loudly.My mom gets her and examines her wings and she said a feather was out of place and my mom like pushed it and she was back to normal.However this has happened more than once and just recently both wings hung down unintentionally and my baby chick tried to fix it again or well she did something.After a few moments she was back to normal but now this happens a lot.What do I do and is there something wrong with her?
 
Can you post a picture of this or possible a video on youtube then link it here?
 
Where do you live? It's heating up for summer so young birds often spread or drag thier wings to help regulate, and cool off from the high temps, ours do it whenever they've been running around in the sun for awhile. But if it's more of a lethargic trait you might want to check her out for any wounds or signs of illness
