4 week old chicks wing is droopy

[NeeCee51]

One of my 4 week old chicks was getting in the coop from my hand and she sort of flew and let out a noise and I noticed she can't raise one of her wings now and when I pick her up she lets out a loud chirping. She has tried to move the wing but it will not cooperate. Can chickens sprain their wings? I thought I would see how she is doing after a nights rest. Any ideas?? Thanks

I would keep her in a nice safe place for a few days with food and water and see if it changes.

Thanks Seminole wind. I went out last night just after dark and they were all in the roost. I am hoping it was something minor since she flew up on the roost for the night. Thanks so much, I will keep an eye on her..

YEAH!!!! this morning she is just fine. I am so worried something bad is going to happen before they even get to be adults...Crazy?

No, not crazy. We all worry, well most of us!
