Hatchery chick with two different sizes wings?

I was also just noticing that it kind of looks like that entire side of its body may be slightly larger?
Yes, it's more apparent with the 2nd set of pictures. Which might account for the odd stance, if one side of the body is actually bigger than the other.
 
Five toes but only on one side. Slight webbing between toes in some. One was standing very bizarrely, making me think it was actually something other then a chicken.
This almost sounds as if you were accidentally sent the sorted out malformed or otherwise not healthy chicks.
 
Maybe there was a mutation or a problem with the eggs? That makes me wonder if I should order my geese from Meyer. I was thinking about it since it is closer, but maybe I should consider somewhere else! Is it acting different from the normal chicks?

No. It was stressed considerably from shipping but it seems to have pulled through. It took 6/7 days post delivery for me to stop experiencing deaths though. I wouldn't take that into consideration if your planning on ordering from them IF you are closer to them then I am. They are in Ohio I believe very northern Ohio and I am in southern middle Tennessee slightly east. I think the delivery time and length with the cold weather stresses them quite a bit. I lost 15 of 47

But other then that no it seems fine. I'm kind of wondering what it will mature out to looking at some other people's chicks with the same issue. The one in the link someone provided above is very bizarre it literally looks like two halves of different chickens were splices together!

Yeah, I was considering it because I live real close. We ordered our chicks first from Mcmurray Hatchery in North Carolina. They came through and zero died! I was so amazed!
