Hi there.

Angel wing is not a known problem in chicks. I have seen what are describing ONCE before out of hundreds of chicks raised though.

I simply monitored it and the chick eventually grew into the feathers without any long term issues.

It's probably just a growth spurt... and I would NOT be trimming the feathers.

Please feel free to post a pic if you are still concerned and able to.
