Wing injury?

Our take

Uh-oh, it sounds like one of your feathered friends might be having a little wing drama! If she's moving her wing in a peculiar way, it’s natural to worry, especially since she’s acting normal otherwise. Chickens are surprisingly resilient, but they can also be quite the drama queens when it comes to minor injuries. Since you didn’t find anything amiss during your inspection, it might be a case of her just being a bit clumsy or experiencing a temporary strain. Keeping an eye on her behavior is key. If she continues to act strangely or shows signs of discomfort, consulting a vet might be in order. Let’s hope she’s back to her cluck-tastic self in no time!

She occasionally moves her wing around like this, it started today and we don't know what caused it. We tried picking her up and inspecting but it just ended up scaring her so we didn't pry further. Nothing we can see from the outside and she's acting perfectly normal otherwise
