I thought we might have 3 different rumpless chicks because all the other chicks had their tail feathers come in and these 3 didn't. But now it is starting to look like maybe they are coming in at 1 week 5 days old (Blue, Sapphire Splash) and 2 weeks 4 days old. (Henrietta and Baldy, they were assorted rares)View attachment 2147203View attachment 2147205View attachment 2147207
She looks like she’s partially rumpless. Do you know her breed?This is Ethel and she’s about 14 weeks. Does this look like rumpless or wry tail?

If she grew a normal looking tail, she isn’t rumpless.Baldy (Cuckoo Maran) ended up growing a tail, but then was picked on and lost all her tail feathers and they haven't grown back yet. Or she might actually be a rumpless?

Yes I know, that why this was an update saying they turned out not to be rumpless.If she grew a normal looking tail, she isn’t rumpless.
If you have a rumpless chicken, please feel free to share it here. It doesn't matter if it is a purebred, an Araucana, or a barnyard mix. Post photos of them all! Also post concerns, questions, health issues related to being rumpless, etc.
I've looked all over the forum and have not been able to find a rumpless thread. I hope we can enjoy share our birds together!
