Another of our girls, a 21 week old, has a severe wry tail (I posted earlier and elsewhere about it) but since we aren't planning on breeding, there is no reason to cull- she has a regal, mellow quiet disposition, and all the others like her. She also has been a mediator, getting in between when others squabble.
What's wry tail? I have a hen that has the most jacked-up looking tail and all the feathers on her neck are wonky looking too! Her tail feathers grow in a circle and curl all over forty creations and her neck feathers all grow with a sort of swoosh to the side. She's not breed stock or anything. And my huband LOVES it---he says she has personality (I say sure she does. Like Hatchet-Face on the movie Cry Baby!)
