Help - what to do?

[imbeth]

We have a friend fostering a Bantam Americauna (?) who has a wing feather sticking straight out. It has been that way for several weeks. This hasn't happened to any of my girls. Anyone have any advice?

That happens once in a while, I would just catch her and cut the feather below the break/bend, or pull it out if it comes easily. She looks like a Silver Duckwing Old English Game.

I've had that happen to my girls once in a while. It doesn't seem to be a problem. Not sure why it happens. Eventually it seems to either fall off or go back into place, which I doubt.

I've never been alarmed if one feather sticks out, though.

As said, it happens.

Probably bothers us more than them.

Just cut it as suggested, if it bothers you.
That's what I do.

Thank you everyone!
