My Blue Maran's tail is doing a downward slope: anyone else's feathered friend a little fowl-shaped
Oh, a downward-dipping tail on a Blue Maran? That's not just a fashion choice, that's a fowl-shaped mystery. First-time chicken parenthood is a wild ride, and I love that you're already spotting the quirks in your feathered friends. A tail that slopes instead of perking up could be a few things: maybe she's just built that way, or perhaps she's feeling a little under the weather. Don't panic, chickens are weirdly dramatic. Before you start Googling frantically, check her vent area and see if she's acting normally otherwise. If you're in the mood for another head-scratcher, our piece on "Sand, specks, or sinister eggs" might make you feel better about mysterious chicken oddities. You've got this, clucker parent.
