These babies are almost a week old and I have 6.
So far two of them have excelrated wing growth but they stick out to the side quite a bit.
Is there something wrong with them?
I haven't seen this before yet never hatched this breed either,( lavender Sussex)
Advice appreciated.

No, they're fine. They'll grow into them; right now, they're getting the wing feather length coming in but don't have the body size and feathering to accommodate the wing feather length yet. It looks ungainly but give it a few more weeks.
Okay I'm super anxious about it as I thought it was angel wing or split wing.
I will see how they progress
 
I thought angel wing is a ducks thing. Unless you're raising show birds, neither angel wing nor split wing will affect the lives of your chickens.
I know this however I need to fix it now and they are supposed to be sold I can't sell them like this so very annoyed as it's from bad genetics from the breeders
