Hi! I have girls who are about 4 months old now and laying, but 1 consistantly has a dirty butt and she looks crooked. Her right side is higher than her left, and her tail lists to the left. She seems totally fine behaviorally, she is the most outgoing, eating, drinking, walking normally, and we believe laying fine. Has anyone seen anything like this? It feels solid, like it's just crooked bones, but it does seem more pronounced recently.

Looks like she has Wry Tail which is a genetic deformity. The back, maybe Roach Back or some other bone deformity. I don't know of anything that you could do to correct it.
As long as she's eating/drinking and acting normal, then I would just enjoy her.
Note - any bird with a deformity should not be used for breeding, but they make fine "pets" :)
 
Here's another photo. It's almost like the entire chicken is twisted, even the right front sticks out further than her left. So strange. Thank you everyone for your input!
