For some reason, I am unable to download pictures on this site and can't show you what I would like. But regardless, I have a question that I'd like some help with
I have a 3-4 wk old fav bantam that show split wings, both wings. The primaries stick out on each side standing and at rest, and when examining them, they both have a very visible split/gap between the primary and secondary feathers. New feathers are still coming in but appear to be the next row up, which will eventually cover the split wing area, but I don't think this is going to technically remedy the problem. Is this a temporary problem that the chick will grow out of and not pass on to the offspring? Or is it as I think-- A default that exists and the bird is not going to grow out of and is hereditary. This is not my main line but a chick from a swap egg. I got I'd like some expert opinions out there. Thank you.
