My thoughts are ...
Unless it is very clear that the disfiguration is due to an accident - you cannot rule out that it is genetic especially since you dont know her history. If she eats well and her food passes well then there is a good chance eggs would as well - but that puts you in another perdicament....
Genetic kinks don't always present in the first generation - all your eggs might hatch out nice looking babies - but those babies could still produce kinked babies (if it is genetic).
If you raise those babies you may well be starting a kinked albino project - or if you sell them - the responsible thing to do would be to let the buyers know that it's possible that they may be recieving a kink gene.
Tough call .....
