Breeding / Re: Wry tail
« on: March 14, 2022, 05:24:09 PM »
When I was out there I didn’t see her tail go to the side like I did the other day. I got some pictures. If it’s wry tail is it all the time? I picked up both and compared keel bones and ran my hand down their back both keel and spine felt straight and the same. Honestly though I’m just going by videos I’ve watch so may not know what I’m doing. Does she look wry tailed to anyone else. Is there something I should be doing different to tell. I’m going to keep a close eye on her, I still have about 5 weeks before I start collecting eggs.

Breeding / Wry tail
« on: March 14, 2022, 11:22:30 AM »
 I am getting prepared to set up my breedings and have been going over all my birds to be sure they meet criteria and decide who I want to put with who. I have one of my self blue pullets that I notice her tail has started leaning to the side. I need to get better pictures but I will attach the 2 I have and you can see her tail is not directly behind her. If it is wry tail I don’t want to breed from her and regret it down the road. This leaves me with a problem, now I only have 1 hen and 3 roosters to start with. Is this enough diversity? I wanted to set up 3 groups to start with, using the program in “Start Where You are with what you have”. Now I’m thinking it might be better to get more hatching eggs and try to get more hens before starting the program.
The pullet on the right is the one with the issue. I’ll go home tonight and take better pictures from behind.
