Tony C Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 My thoughts on a dropped tail flight: I've never seen a baby with one in the nest, it seems to happen a week or two after they've been weaned. With that in mind I believe it to be stress related and not necessarily a weakness. I would let the basket be the judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
