Young chick looks sick-broken wings

[Caitlyns]

I have a 4wk old Leghorn, she looks as if she is sick; I’m not quite sure what it is. She almost acts as if she is anxious in comparison to the other chicks. She acts as if she is starving even though they are fed, a lot. She shakes when being held. She has broken wings that almost look like she is mulching but I don’t believe she should be at this age? She has no blood in the stool or any stool that looks different from the other chicks. They are kept in a bin at night and during the day when it isn’t rainy they are contained in a caged area so they can roam freely in the grass.
Any help is appreciated!

I'm afraid your hen is actually a rooster. It also looks like you have more than one rooster, if not three.

The chicken's wing feathers look OK. It is just growing in its juvenile feathers, it's normal to see some thinning while they are growing so many new feathers. As for the shaking, that is pretty normal as well, some chicks get a bit anxious, just like most things.

Oh my gosh, you think so? I know that it’s common to actually get roosters from tractor supply but it did say they were sexed hens?

I'm almost certain that the one in question is a rooster, but the others are hard to see in the photos, though their combs look quite prominent, it might just be the angle. Could you post a picture of all three - just head shots?

 

[Chickinie]

Sorry, after having a better look at the other photos, I'd say you have 1 roo and 2 hens. I can see how the one has a much bigger, redder comb than the other two in the pictures that I can see.

 

[Caitlyns]

I’ll get a few pictures of them now.
Is that typical of Leghorns though? Pullets can actually have a larger more predominant comb?

 

[Caitlyns]

roo in question is not in photos!

 

[Chickinie]

Now, their combs look all the same size I reckon, and they don't show much red. Your possible Roos is poking out from above its head in the first pic! . Just wait and see though. But I reckon the way he is noticeably feathering in different too, it's gotta be going the roo way. It looks like it has quite thick legs as well.

Just wait and see anyway.

It’s so hard to get quality pictures. I think you’re right though, he might just be a roo. He is very territorial and he does have different legs than the other girls even the way he stands is different.
Well shucks! I’m sure this was a straight run and I thought it said all pellets but I know it is likely. What are other signs besides waiting?

 

[Chickinie]

I think you just about cover all of the behavioral signs there! He does sound like a VERY confident cock! Maybe cause he has all the hens to himself! Haha. I think that you will notice that more pointed and shiney feathers will grow over and in the bare patches that it has - may be harder to notice with white feathers compared to black. And it's comb will become much redder and bigger day by day. He might even attempt crowing soon if he's that confident
