[Guest joshdonlan]

Ive heard that its a good sign for the flights to curve downwards  :-/

Is it being single reared

[Guest HEATHLOFTS]

Is it being single reared

 

YES

IT IS Y

[Tony C]

Sometimes happens when being single reared, just tuck the flights into where they should be everytime you go in the loft and it'll be fine.

use a little steam to straighten them

[swede]

     just leave it mate ;nothing to worry about  swede

[Guest]

its just that it has too much room and is spreading its wings for balance/support

i just leave it and as it gets older it sorts itself out

SO DONT GET YOU LOL

[Guest IB]

Yes it sounds like angel wing, common in single rearing, I get it all the time. A soft joint bends outward with muscles unable to support the weight of the new feathers ~ the primary flights hang out at a forward angle, away from the body. Got to help youngster correct it in the nest, by tucking the primaries back 'inside' the secondaries otherwise when 'joint hardening' takes place, wing may be deformed. Just watch youngster for a few days, and if needed, tuck those wings back to normal position, close to the body. Muscles will catch up and all will be well.
