Re: [CHICKENS-101] Pullet with strange tail

 

Rhonda, Sometimes things like that just add character.  I kept a kinky back chick one year who grew up to be a pullet I had brought from a breeder. (I think the over typey-ness just throws one once in a great while and not much can be done about it because the nature of the body shape.)   Not only did she take every new hatched chick she could adopt, but she was very tame.  She ended up being a favorite pet of every one because she loved to be held. I massaged her back for months to help straighten out her hip and back so she loved lap time.

As far as I can tell, it's just the tail. I've noticed that if she's a little up-tight, her tail is stiffly over to 9 o'clock; if she's relaxed, it may be only to 11 o'clock. Oh well, she's kinda cute that way...

And I notice the 7 pullets (now about 4 months old) are starting to investigate the nest boxes, and practice sitting in them!
