Scoliosis?

[Magnolia Ducks]

This duckling appears to have a spine problem. I don't know yet if it's male or female, probably be able to voice sex soon. It mostly has its tail tucked under as in the pictures and separated itself from the group often. Nobody picks on it. It rarely says it's tail or lifts it up. I feed Mazuri starter. You can see the coop here. It's mom and dad were brother and sister. Does anybody have advice? If it's female, I think egg laying would be a problem.

Which one?

The white one in front in the first picture and behind the grey one in the second picture. See how she holds her tail down. She does this all the time.

She eats and poops fine. Just keeps her tail tucked down and stays separate from the flock most of the time. Is that a sign of pain?

I have no idea.

Me neither. @Texag87 has a KC with a spine defect that looks similar to me. But his duck doesn't isolate itself.
