Rhode Island with wing issue

[TCritters]

I noticed on Sunday that one of my 9wk old Rhode Island pullets appears to have an injured right wing. She's keeping closed right to her body. When I initially encountered her she seemed depressed and wasn't interacting with her flock. I noted that many of her tail feathers are missing so I'm wondering if she got hazed by one the other five birds. She's perked up again but is still holding wing close and not using it.

Do I need to do anything to bandage or anything? Or let it be? Will wing mend itself or is it a permanent injury?

Check the wing gently for bumps, swelled up areas, or open wounds. If you can't find anything, I would just keep an eye on her, and make sure the others don't pick on her any. You may want to separate her. As long as she's keeping her wing tight to her and it isn't drooping, that's a good sign.

Thanks for the recommendations. I didn't find anything strange, she acts like it sore at the "shoulder"... If that's what chickens have! Lol she's acting fine otherwise. Just tucking her little wing and keeping up with the others.
