One of my younger chicks she is small and still too young to lay eggs is dropping one of her wings and I looked at both wings and compared and they look the same only difference is one is dropping and I tried tapping the right wing and she reacted quickly and looked at my hand and shuffled to the side but the left wing the droopy one I tapped and she didnt even notice I tried holding the right wing with 2 fingers and she pulled it and tried to walk away while pulling it but when I did the droopy wing she looked at me since I lifted her ring up and tried to walk away without moving her wing muscles at all. This isnt like when they are trying to cool off as it's pretty cold outside. I'm not sure what's wrong or if anything is wrong.
 
Is this a baby chick or adult chicken? Is there any other change in her behavior or just the droopy wing?

What is your location on Planet Earth?
Baby chick and as far as I can tell that's the only change in behavior and Pennsylvania
 
Keep an eye on the chick. Watch how it manages to get food at the feeder. Watch how active it is. Watch to be sure it's doubling in size each week and of similar size to the others.

Droopy wing alone may only mean it's feeling a little unwell today, but if it becomes worse, there could be other things going on.
