Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, it’s not really an emergency or illness so I wasn’t sure where else to ask. I have a pullet and cockerel that both have slipped primaries. They’ve been like that since they started getting their adult feathers, they always stick out and don’t go back on their own. Being that spring is coming up they’re going to molt soon. If anyone has chickens that have had the same thing, does it go away with the next moult or do they always grow out like that?

Can you spread out the wings for pics?
Not sure why you think they are going to molt in the spring?
Usually they will have a couple-few molts before 6 months of age, then a full adult molt their second fall/winter.
