I have a pullet that is about 5 months old and her wing seems to be out of the joint or something. It just happened this morning. It's flexed out and she can't move it in. I gently touched and it didn't seem to hurt her but it was stiff and wouldn't budge. They had their wings clipped about 3 days ago so I'm guessing she tried to fly off the roost and fell. They loved flying and were actually reallly good at it so they had to have their wings clipped because they were flying to an area with dogs. Has anyone else had this issue?
 
Can you take her a vet?

I'm not sure how to put it back in place - this article may help you:

Thank you for the article! If she doesn't get better I'm taking her in. I tried to gently move it and it actually went back to normal position easier than I thought and she was moving it on her own after that but then she went back to holding it out. I don't know what is going on but I don't think it's broken
 
She's also still running around stealing treats from others so apparently she's still feeling good
