short back?

[farmerChef]

one of my buff orp(X?) pullets has what looks like a short back?? She has a tail.

you can see her tail is this one

the others, same age and possibly parents

Interesting. I wonder what is up with that. Is she otherwise healthy?

 

[farmerChef]

Yes.

will this affect egglaying whem she's old enough? That's what I want to know

From what I can see, she looks fine. A short back is actually a desirable trait in UK type orpingtons.

I can see why. She really is quite pretty with that petite little build.

So it most likey won't interfere with egglaying? I wanted to know because I'm going to sell her sisters and I wanted to know she was ok so she could go with them.

No, it shouldn't affect egg laying at all.
