This chick is about 4 days old. One of her wings looks a bit off where it hangs lower at all times than the other wing. Any need for concern at this point?

Now it may not be the same thing that happened to my chick.
If you feel the wing bone does it feel thicker than compared to the other wing bone that's normal?
It's really hard to tell. I'm not certain.The bones are as tiny as toothpicks.😭 I'll definitely keep a close eye and trim the feathers on that side if she continues to droop that wing.
 
Shoulda thought of that. 😅
Gotta wait till she's older to tell.

Good idea.
Appreciate your help. At least now I can worry less, knowing that even if she has a paralyzed wing she can have good life. I read your interview. Your chickens are beautiful! We are a homeschool family also. ☺️
 
Her wings ended up being normal. Here she is at 8 weeks. 😂
