haha...that's the first thing I did after I heard the skin pop like when you bite into a grape kinda noise...I put pressure on it and put my hand over my head and it stayed there til I got some help to bandage it up. Luckily I work with my mom sometimes....so it was nice it was one of those nights. I felt comfortable having her there since she used to be a nurse. It does hurt and I had that dry cotton mouth feeling for a couple of hours from my nerves being frazzled. I'm feelin much better now and know I'll have to be careful, but I am so relieved that I have a three day weekend.

Wry neck/ crook neck maybe.... does itsit up on its legs and roll over or tuck its heck and rollover. I have a "pet" hen that had this and I gave her a bunch of vitamin supplements someone on here told me to give and she worked it out but I've had others that didn't make it.
Greta walks around nw with her head kind of tilt to the side and every now and then shell have a relapse if she is startled.

I think if you were to put him with some nice cuckoo patterned girls that should give you some more cuckoo patterning in the offspring....that is if that's what you want...haha

what were you looking for? just regular cuckoos? I might have a couple extra....they are younger and am in the process of working on leg feathering and egg color on them...but if that doesn't bother you, we might be able to work something out. I haven't sorted through all my cuckoo pullets from this year that I've held for observation yet, but am hoping this weekend to
