guinea keet with stiff wings

[wakely11]

I just bought a guinea keet and it holds its wings out stiffly about 1/2" from the body. Any ideas on this? Can't find a thing on the internet.

Sounds like it might have some form of angel wing or something. Have any pictures? That might be helpful. Where did you buy it? What were the living quarters like? How old is it? Sorry to bombard you with questions, but they might key in to what's wrong. -Rachel

Sorry, just realized angel wing is only in waterfowl. But this thread may help you figure out what it is. Sounds like its normal, if its the same thing. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/guineas-w-angelwing.341063/

I just realized that the stiff looking feathers I'm seeing are actually below what I perceive to be the wings? Maybe this is a growth pattern on guineas. I panicked because I'd not seen this type of growth.

I would've too! I would guess it is a growth pattern, but I would also keep an eye on it if gets any worse. Hope it is ok!
