can the wing be broken?

[nfrost]

We have a year old black shoulder and 2 days ago I noticed he was pissing a primary flight feather or 2 just a big gap in the wing, well his wing has been drooping since I noticed it and I thought the wing may be broken but the last 2 nights he flew into a tree 30 ft up can that be broken and still fly

P.s. he is still eating and drinking real well.

It is not broken if he can fly that far. I assume you see no obvious bleeding or open wound. Most likey he ran into something like cabling or a pole and injured it. Always possible something got a hold of him as well. I would let him be and not stress him out if he is eating and can fly.

I used to over react to all limping, wing droops, etc. until I figured out it that most of these things resolve themselves.

Yes I agree the wing isn't broken if he can fly. I am concerned about him "pissing a primary flight feather or 2"

because I am thinking THAT HAS TO HURT!

I just got a white hen at a bird swap and the guy sold me it with a broken wing but I didn't know.
it's not the whole wing just the end of the wing. What do I do about it? I can post a pic just so you can see. But she can still fly so I don't know what's wrong with it.
