Wry tail is inherited, and can be a disqualification. But they can still be a good pet and member of the flock. Do you have any pictures? Here is some reading:

yes i know it can be a disqualification.
she will be a pet as are all my show birds but i still was wondering why did it all of a sudden start happening?

It is hard to say. I had a black copper Marans cockerel who was perfectly normal for 6 months, then developed wry tail. He was going to be my breeding rooster, but that did not happen. He never appeared to suffer an injury, and sometimes his tail looked normal at times.

it has been normal a few times today. she was also going to be a breeding hen but not anymore.
thanks for your help as always!

If it's a recent injury, it may resolve. Otherwise, she will be a pretty flock member, not a show or breeding prospect.
