Droopy Wing

[Birbs]

I just picked this chicken up from a breeder.
I don't know how I didn't notice earlier, but she has droopy wings.
Should I be concerned?

How old is she?

It may be time for her to begin molting soon. The feathers look fairly worn.

You have her separated from your existing flock for a period of observation right?
Look her over for lice/mites, consider getting a fecal float to see if she needs deworming, etc.

She is separated. About 6 months old.
I did end up finding quite a bit of lice on her. My first experience with them. Treated her and the coop with permethrin dust.
I've never done a fecal float, but I will look into it. Thank you!
