Are weird wings genetic?

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Okay, thanks. I was actually thinking of getting a different rooster next year. Does it mean all of his chicks could carry it even if they don't show it or would those be safe to breed?

If you sell any of the chicks, I would inform the buyers that they carry twisted wing.

Good idea. I was gonna say that about the ones who actually have it, but I should probably also mention that the others could carry it. I probably will only sell chicks in a couple months. I wanna see which ones will be pullets and cockerels. And I wanna see how they look grown up.

Does this look like split wing or twisted wing?View attachment 3092274View attachment 3092275Her feathers can be tucked back into place, but they’ll stick out again as soon as she moves them.

Twisted wing.

Twisted wing.

Wait, I found some more pictures:

And she does appear to be missing feathers as well, like split wing. Could she have both?

Oh yeah, that’s definitely split wing. I suppose she could have both but I’m not sure maybe split wing is just causing it to look like her wing is twisted. There isn’t much information on this topic.

This year I got quite unlucky with my chicks.

Yes, Quite unfortunate.
