it would appear that the dragons then have a simpler genome, that while a wing may be stunted at hatching, it will not remain so. Quite related to the superior healing/regeneration described earlier by others.
In humans, stunted growth can be in DNA. The reason behind the stunted wings, legs and such on the dragons is not, these beings claim, in their DNA, but rather in their severely shortened gestation period within their memory casks... Whereas a normal dragon enters cocoon in early-mid summer to emerge in spring, these dragons entered them in late autumn/early winter and emerged in late spring, giving them too short time to transform properly from serpent to dragon.

Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.
