Hi,

My one peachick that managed to hatch out (and I did not think was going to make it) has a wing that droops.

Is there any way to fix this? Can I tape it up or do you think with age it will get stronger and be normal.

Any input would be greatly appreciated Thank you!

I dont think there is anything wrong with it.
It is just the large feathers coming in on a tiny wing. The muscles just need to build up.
On the ones I have hatched, I have noticed some do this at about the age of yours but after a few weeks, they are just fine.
Same with turkeys.
 
I did not know that about the wings. I am glad I posted because I tried to tape it up and it would not stick so I took it off.
Poor little peachick having to deal with a novice mom like me.
