Is her wing normal?

[Tlhill]

I have a 14 week old sapphire gem that has a weird looking wing. I tried checking it, and it seems normal. I have seen her flap some, but she’s not really a flapper either. Her wing has been like this for a couple of weeks now since her last molt. Will it fix itself? Should I be concerned?

It almost looks like she is holding it up really high, right?

Yes! But she keeps it like that all the time. I’m new to chickens. Is there something in particular I should check for?

I do not know. I have never seen this. My first guess would be she injured it somehow and it healed wrong...

I agree with Kiki, If it doesn't effect and/or bother her I wouldn't worry about it.

That was my first guess, too. But it was fine one morning and the next, it looked like this and never went back.

Ok great! Thank you!

If you really want to know I bet an Xray will tell ya.

If that isn't an option I wouldn't do anything to it myself.

Unfortunately, our area’s chicken vet retired so that probably wouldn’t be an option. I will just continue to keep an eye on her and make sure she is still good. Thanks for your help!
