Possible broken or dislocated wing?

Bird Question...
Tonight I came home and my son had let the girls out to roam. I went out to talk to them, drink a beer (long day of jury duty) and do some yard stuff. I noticed that Sophia our BO big girl's right wing looks out of place. No trauma that we are aware of, not sure what could have happened. No outward puncture, it just is hanging lower than it should the top of the wing does not look set in the joint as the left is.

I suspect dislocation, although I could be wrong.

I am a WUSS and have such a hard time dealing with this side of being a chicken mom. I don't want to hurt her. She laid an egg today. IS totally possible that the injury happened post egg, but she seems otherwise normal scratching around the backyard, sharing popcorn with my son.

I have read on forums about binding the wing into a more natural position. Will have to wait for my hubby to come home for an extra set of hands, but does anyone have experience with this?

Blanche (BA) and Lena the Aussie got in the way for this one.









Thanks in advance for your always awesome advice and suggestions.

I know your post is very old but I’m curious what you did as my rooster has the same problem. I’m scared to wrap it and hurt it more so debating leaving it. Did you find anything worked.

How long has he been like this?

I wrapped it and thought he was doing better and now he is crashing and can’t walk. I’m scared he has mareks but I was so sure to start it was just a dislocated wing so I’m very confused.
