So this may be a dumb question, but I am a noobie. Do silkie pullets squat when they are at POL?

I think so but I don't know what POL means.

I suspected it was meant something like that but couldn't guess what the P stood for.

I know this isn't

Sigh, but It will be awhile before I know. Another couple of months and I am going to do a photo shoot and see what you all think they are. This waiting drives me crazy!

Lucky they are so darned cute!

Its called wry tail. Also if her back is hunched or her hips are displaced (one higher one lower) it could be scoliosis or roachback as well....Wry Tail is a Disqualification and a heriditary trait so it will pass on to a good number of her offspring. With wrytail that severe I would not breed her personally

I guess you know that silkies don't usually lay till 5 - 10 mths.

Yes, the first 2 are from my silkie roosters on my left
But at the very end you could see my pullet crowing? Making some sort of sound.

That's what I thought. Quite a noise she makes. lol
