Dislocated or deformed?

If you think this is angel wing you have to wrap while the flight feathers are growing in.

with angel wing, the wing begins to stand out like a hitchhiker's thumb. If you wait till flight feathers are grown in it usually is too late. If the wing is hanging down and she brings it up to correct it then that is usually the blood as the feathers are growing making the wing heavy and as she keeps adjusting the wing to normal position then the wing will finally be strong enough to hold in a normal position. Can you post pictures of what you are talking about?

Yes, absolutely as soon as I get home from work I will take some pictures I’m off tomorrow so I’ll handle what I need to do. The older ones wing started to do the same thing but just not this bad like it did start to stick out but then eventually it corrected itself and one day I woke up and he was holding it correctly but I just don’t remember it being this much of sticking out. I don’t know if it’s cause she’s a smaller bird or what but I will send you a picture if I do wrap her and it’s not Angel wing will it cause any issue with her I mean she hates it and she screams and I don’t wanna wrap her wrong but I’ve kind of understand the concepts to kind of tuck it where it’s supposed to be and then wrap it I tried to wrap it completely around her and she just falls over and gets upset and it breaks my heart so I’m gonna try to do it where I just wrap her wing so she can tuck it under Just looks weird but I will definitely take a picture as soon as I get home and get her in the bath For a swim

She will not let me :(;@
What do you mean? hold her between your knees facing away from you or have someone help to hold her.
If your okay with her having angel wing then don't worry about it it's only cosmetic and not a health risk. After she grows in her flight feathers and no more blood you can trim them some so she doesn't catch the wing on fencing etc.
Or get a vet to wrap if you can afford a vet. They can be hard to wrap without help if you haven't ever done it before.
 
Yes I have tried for two hours 2 different ways her wing is so small and I am scared I will hurt her wing she’s just over 4 weeks old I will try again this weekend and keep trying I should have a little time she’s just now getting her blood feathers so I will keep trying I will try to call a few vets tomorrow
