Wry tail, something else or genetic? Rumpy maybe?

There's a pic of mine when she was younger in this thread, https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/why-hasnt-my-pullet-got-a-tail.1540588/
Since then, its become more apparent that she does have a tail, but just pointing in a very odd direction.
She also lays just as many eggs as any of my hens. (one a day, most of the time)

Thanks for sharing...reading your thread was helpful. She's a very pretty girl!

I'm not sure what this guys is other then vigorous...lol. Think I'm going to go ahead and see if the breeder wants him back. Doesn't hurt to give the boy a chance even if he runs like a drunk sailor...to be fair I think most chickens do a little bit...

No one wanted the poor boy so he went in the freezer today. Turns out he definitely had wry tail... horrible curve in his spine. He also had a boneless tail though. Just a small nub of fat there...almost a tail.

Sorry...quick correction. His breast bone had the horrible curve to it, not his spine.
