need help with wry tail RIR

[Mass Mike]

Hi all, I have a flock of 7 four month old RIR hens. One of them has an extreme wry tail. It's almost at a 90 degree angle from straight. it is also the last in the pecking order. It is always the last out of the coop into the run in the morning. It is often on a roost in the run or in the coop alone while the other hens are on the ground in the run, feeding. It is also considerably smaller than the other 6. Not sure what to do. I thought about keeping it in the coop while the others are in the run and feeding it alone but....will I be doing that forever? Will she still be a decent egg producer? I'd love a little help on this.

Thanks, all...
Mike
