I have to talk POLISH!

[Vcomb]

Just a little story to share-- I have a cuckoo pullet that was shipped from several states away and was delivered on 11/16 (almost 30 days ago). She is a beautiful WC cuckoo. Well, she didn't eat ANYTHING the first 6 days. We wormed her, checked her for lice and mites several times (she was clean), and began force feeding her. Gave her yogurt, cottage cheese and apple cider vinegar in her water, too. I even gave her daily vestibular treatments in case she had vertigo from the long shipping. Well, FINALLY yesterday and today she started eating on her own. Don't know which intervention helped the most, but just yesterday I started mentioning we may have to look into ringing her anorexic neck. Iguess

if she has a huge crest likely she had memorized where her food and water was in the pen at her previous home. In a new environment she couldn't find it. pull the crest back with a ponytail holder or trim it with scissors so she can see.

I really hope she continues to eat. I have a great cuckoo male (that won best junior, see picture a few posts back). I hope she improves so I can put them together. If not, Im going to put him with wc black and hope some offspring come out cuckoo.

I would love some! But alas, I can't have anymore until I actually get a house

My coop is only big enough for the 3 I have (2 silkie pullets, 1SLP roo)

I think very beautiful....by the time she is a year old she is going to be gorgeous! Is she silver laced?

ramirezframing Beautiful lacing .........but I hope she learns to lift her tail because as it is now it is too low.

TNBarnqueen, No she's not a sliver laced. Shes a blue laced.
Flower, she was sitting on a perch in both photos, but I cant remember if she holds it down or not
