Droopy tail

[trista85]

Hello all,

I have a 16-18 week old dark Brahma pullet who seems totally fine except for a droopy tail. She’s a heavy bird so not laying yet, and aside from a weird limp about all th ago no outward signs of any problems. She eats, drinks, poops, forages around with the rest of the flock, comes over for treats, etc. ACV and ivermectin have been recommended elsewhere but I wanted to check in with this group as well. I have 11 girls total, all happy and healthy but for this one odd thing. Photos for detail.

That's just the way her tail is. Nothing to worry about.

A chicken may hold its tail low to show subordination to the higher-ups...

Maybe. She wasn’t feeling well a few weeks ago. I am comparing her to a fully grown hen (I have a year old buff brahma too) though so I could just be mistaken.

Most Brahma's I have seen look like that.
