tail carried to one side?

[patandchickens]

Quick question about one of the three ready-to-lay (actually two now ARE laying!) pullets I got via the feed store last week... I notice that her tail is always carried to the left side at about a 45 degree angle. That is, it seems basically vertical (well, not that she has *so* many tail feathers yet), but when viewed from above it always points to about 8 o'clock instead of 6 o'clock. Is this just a basically-harmless skeletal defect, or could it be an actual Problem? Otherwise, she seems quite happy and healthy and friendly, and seems to have been laying since the first day we had her.

Thanks,

Pat

It's nothing to worry about if she doesn't have any kind of obvious damage or disease. Occasionally, a bird will carry a tail that is off center. I just gave away a roo with that problem. His kind of leaned to the right a little.

Wow. They are already laying, but don't have all their tail feathers? How old are they?
