Pelvic deformity. It also effects the lower spine.

Culled this boy due to it. He's got a half sister I need to cull because the samething, also she only lays an egg once a month.

There is a condition or boney deformity of the spine called roach back or spondylopathy. I don’t know if that is exactly what is wrong, but may be possible. I would not breed her.

Here is some reading about kinky back, and it can cause paralysis in the lower body:
