Rooster help?

[SilkiesRcool]

I recently put my rooster in with my flock of hens. He sleeps with them mates hem etc. His tail is never up though. He is always standing straight up and his tail is always just hanging down. Not the curl like some roosters tails have. Is something wrong with him or is it just him? Thank you all

Could have a back injury or is a throwback to the rumpless araucana genes. If he moves fine I wouldn't worry. I would give his back and tail bud a feel to see if anything feels broken.

He's lovely. Was his tail up before you moved him in with the hens?

Nope I bought him i night so I didn’t notice it but no it’s been down since I’ve had him and he’s always chest up

That's just who he is. Handsome anyway. Mary
