Bright purple under wing

[Chicken_Chick12]

Hi, I am new to raising chicks so any and all advice is appreciated! A few days ago I bought 2 California White and 1 Calico princess chicks, today I noticed under the wing of one of the California whites is bright Pink/purple it doesn’t look sticky or like it was bleeding she still has her fluff so it’s not a bald patch, just very bright unnatural bright pink/purple. I can’t seem to find any injuries and she is stil eating and drinking. Should I be concerned? Thank you!!!

Might be her vain or if they did some sort of blood test or injection.

It looks much brighter in person as well

That does look unusual to me, I haven't seen it before, at least
I wonder if something could be irritating her skin. What heat source do they have? Does her skin feel hot to the touch? Is she behaving normally?

Is it definitely on the skin, not the down?

I can’t tell, so I’m not sure any ideas on how?

Part the down with your fingers, see if the fluff itself is pink/purple, or if its just the skin underneath

Looks like the markings the hatcheries use for ID.
