I was starting to think with reading up that it could be something along these lines...
I have had old time farmer around here like 70/80 year old one tell me to either cull her or just not collect her eggs to hatch or I could test breed her. Her father has breed with another hen had no issues HE is a beautiful Speckled Sussex Rooster. The Bantam mom I did hatch out a few more of her eggs. 2 apear to have the same dad the EE or could be my Bantam Silkie Rooster who I don't think is of age (3/4 months) but could be fertile enough) or my Polish mix got in her pen and (rapped her as she is a picky hen and don't like to many other roos except my EE Roo and he usually fights off any other males that go near her pen or in it... except the bantams he see them ass babies and wont harm but protects them. in-fact them can semi beat him up lol) I think he is like WTH are they trying to do???? so I am thinking this is a fluke the developed in the egg as she could and it appeared she/he could bend it and nothing was wrong when she/he was born.
