Finally got the video uploaded of Flapper

[Wolfpacker]

Well, I'm fairly new to chickens, but I didn't think it looked that unusual. If anything, I was wondering, when she was running, why the other wing was NOT flapping.

That left wing just flaps all the time. I was surprised when I went out to make the video she wasn't doing it to much, that's why I picked her up and threw her to get her wing out of place so she'll do it for the video. If you saw her on a regular basis you'd see that it's really not normal for her wing to constantly flap. I don't know what's wrong with her! When she was running her left wing was going crazy but her right one wasn't...she wasn't trying to flap that's just what that left wing does. She'll stand still and that left one is just flapping away.

I am afraid perhaps only a vet might be able to help you out with this one??? I suspect it may be due to an injury or such?

I would agree. A vet might be able to figure out what is wrong. It almost seems like a sprain she's always trying to fix.

My 4 year old son says, "She probably has a wing boo boo." LOL hope that helps! He really liked the video.

I think she may have hurt it, thats what is seems like. Like she is going to put it down, and than says ouch ouch ouch and it gets her in a tizzy and well...hard to explain.

Or perhaps it has a mind of its own, and its tring to make a break for it.

She doesn't seem to care if I stretch the wing out and grab it and poke it, like it doesn't hurt her at all. My DH thinks she has a jumping nerve or something. She's stopped it for a while maybe she fixed it. IDK.
