I finally got some decent photos of this cockerel. Barely 6 mths old. Photos don't show his color which is very black with no leakage, though he does have some light under coat so I'm guessing he's blue. His wing fan is great and I couldn't ask for better feet, toes and foot feathering. He has great type which shows somewhat in the photos. Love his small black comb. Vivid blue ear lobs. So, the problem is that two of his siblings out of the more than a dozen I've raised or still have access to have wry tail. The father had a slightly off tail that I was positive was from an injury I saw occur but now I'm doubting that and he is retired! I would love to use this guy in my program with unrelated birds but wondering if that is a mistake. What do you all think?
Here is a discussion on another site about wry tail. It does not give a definitive cause, but thought you might like to see this --->
