Is This Normal????

[Peppercorngal]

I hatched 6 chicks in the incubator. They are outside in the brooder now. Today is day number five for them and one of them has these big wings hanging down and away from his body. None of the others have these wings and I've never seen this in a 5 day old chick. Is this normal? This is a chick from one of the eggs I bought, if female it's supposed to be an olive egger. None of the other 5 chicks have these wings. Maybe she is a he??? Here's a couple of photos. What do y'all think?

I’ve never seen anything like this, it may just be a deformity... but I’m no expert so I may be wrong...

A couple of my newly hatched mutts have wings just like that!! I was wondering if it denotes gender as well! I hope someone can tell us what is going on. These are my first hatched eggs so I have no clue.

One of the chicks will run and peck my finger when I put it down in the food. I was thinking maybe it's male. The one with the wings is not that one!

I had one of my game fowl chicks born this way last month. he is growing at half the rate compared to the others. I think its a deformity.

Edit: here are some pics. This is them at 4 weeks. You can tell he still has his baby feathers on his head while the others are starting to get there grown up feathers, also notice the size difference.

I don't see anything I would call abnormal or any deformity on these chicks at all! Chicks will grow at a different rate individually, that does not a deformity make! They look great to me!
