Hello! I picked up 4 cinnamon queens from Tractor Supply last Wednesday, so the chicks are about 1-1.5 weeks old. We just noticed one of the feathers on one of the wings is bent. It was not like this when we brought them home. Is there anything I can do to help her, or will she grow out of it when she gets more feathers?

It will grow out and fall off, getting replaced with a normal one eventually. Not harmful and not any issue. Odd feathers can grow in at any age, but aren't a negative indicator of anything. Simply a silly mishap!
