Last year my wife and I got 36 American Bresse eggs and hatched them. Out of the ones that hatched we had 2 that have no tail. In fact, when we butchered them their hind end looked like, well, a butt.
Has anyone else ever seen this? Is it a breed thing or maybe an incubation issue? None of the others had any unusual issues.

I’ve never had a chicken without a tail but there are several breeds without tail feathers according to Wikipedia. I kinda want one now!
Maybe one of your three dozen eggs got mixed up at the breeder?
