Check out my little odd wing chickie

[hipeatall]

Okay, I've never seen a wing like this. It folds up underneath and then sticks up like a little sail when she is resting... it looks like a normal wing when she is walking and standing. She seems absolutely happy and just fine otherwise - it's not causing her any trouble / issues... it's just kindo odd / interesting looking. I was curious if others have seen or had chicks / chickens with this.

Very odd....
As to why well

Maybe has some frizzle in him ?

It should be interesting to see how her feathers grow in...

I looked on the byc site and didn't see anything that looked like this.

I would love that... Frizzles are soooo fun! But, I don't think that is the case with her because it's just the one wing and the feathers are not curled at all. Also, it only does the funny sticking up thing when she is resting - looks like a totally normal wing when she is running around and standing.

I really wonder if anyone else has seen this... hmmm.

My turkey poults have that! I have no idea what it is, though.

I wonder if its angel wing? I know ducks and such get it. Not sure about chickens though. It definately gives her an interesting look, like Farrah hair!

Helicopter disease?
Worth a google possibly...
