Tilted rooster

[whispurr]

My rooster is big and beautiful. All I know is what I was told - Orpington Cross. Just today I noticed his beautiful tail is going to the side a bit. Is there something to be done about a flopped tail? We do have Marek's so it could be that. He is 5 months old. Thanks!

That is a condition called wry tail, and it can be hereditary. I had a handsome rooster who had it, and it caused him no problems.

Today he's kind of flopping a wing (opposite side of the floppy tail.) Is he succumbing to Marek's?
