Deformed wing on hatched chick?

[CluckYeah8908]

My chicks hatched on December 29th and I’m noticing as feathers start to grow, this one seems to have a deformed wing. What could’ve caused this and will it be able to live a normal life?

No idea what caused that, could litrerally be anything. Good news, it can live a completely normal life. It looks like it will have plenty enough for balance and that is the biggest use of chicken wings.

What’s the other side look like?
How do the bones feel underneath the feathers? Almost looks like there is an extra bone protruding.

It almost feels like there is an extra bone or the bone is misshapen

Can it flap its wings? Maybe dislocated at the joint?
Maybe if you could feel around on it and make a drawing?

@casportpony any ideas?

I found this anatomy pic

I’ve figured it out! The disformed wing is shorter than it’s other one. It can flap but when it does it kinda leans to the side because of the weight distribution

So all parts there and functioning as they should, but all parts shorter than the other wing?
