Dislocated wing?

Hi everyone!
I have a chicken problem that I’ve not encountered before. So I semi-recently purchased silkies, which I have raised before and they just got moved out to the run with the “big” chickens of which there are 3. When I went out today I noticed one of the littles was acting slow and sleepy. But the weirdest part was that her right side wing was bent back over her body? I attached pictures to aid in the visual. Is it a dislocation? Can it be wrapped close to her body kind of like a broken arm would? She slightly cries when I try to place it back at her side and I would say the sleepiness is probably from pain ☹️ Does anyone have any pointers? Thank you!

You’re ok! It seems to be doing much better! I wrapped it close to her body in its natural position but she didn’t like it 😂 she managed to rip it off after a day and she seems to be doing fine with it. No more pain or stumbling! The timing really couldn’t have been better because literal minutes before I discovered her I found a single abandoned baby chick OUTSIDE of my protected chicken area (not a single clue how he/she got out) The baby is also doing well with New mom 🥰 I think I’ve settled on Irena for the Silkie but I’m stuck between Uno and Pollito for the chick 😂 let me know what you think!

Wow! That IS good timing!

And, wow! That wing is something! I wonder what happened... I guess if she's ok with it and not in pain, then it's fine to leave it.

So cute!
