Sorry,
I just have "blues" right now. My hens are still moulting. Several look like this poor girl

Anyone ever had a rooster with a crooked tail? Its turning into a nice tail but it angles off to the side instead of straight back. He is the only Barnie that I have. Tried hatching this spring and he was it. Is it hereditary of just a fluke?

That is called a wry tail and it could be from an injury or hereditary. I had a hen like that a couple years ago and just kept her for laying, she turned into a good broody as well. I didn't breed here for fear the tail would be passed on.

Thanks. Ill check with the person I got them from and see if she's had that in her flock. if not ill assume an injury.

Yeah, I had a hatchery langshan roo once that had a crooked tail and it got worse as he grew. Turns out he had scoliosis. I hope that is not up with your boy

Ivermectin can be found on Amazon too.

Ivermectin and DOGS: All Collie type dogs with any Collie bloodlines at all no matter how far back can have an adverse reaction to Ivermectin. I would talk to your vet about your dog and the safety of the eggs from treated birds.

My two cents

Just wanted to share some pictures of my flock this year. This is all new stock for me. some of them are pure vB lines from Christina Ledford, others are pure Johan lines, third generation, from another breeder. I'm really happy with how they are growing out. The vB lines are darker and have much better leg color. I think it shows how selective breeding (or not selective) can make a difference in a flock in just a few generations. The vB lines are darker and have much better leg color.
