Ribh's D'Coopage

What is going on with her Bob? Is she sleeping? Why doesn't she sleep in a sitting pose? Is she fitting?
Sometimes she sleeps in a sitting position and sometimes she plays dead. It seems to be whatever suits her mood. She is mostly with Glynda and Lady Featherington but I have seen her laying with Hattie. I also see her off on her own from time to time when the others get excited and run somewhere. Gucci can but does not run.

While I'm certain she can see I think she may not have great eyesight. When trying to eat from my hand she has trouble targeting an individual kernel. She misses when pecking. I've seen it take 3 pecks until she gets one.

Overall she is progressing but I do think more is going on than just her legs. She can fly, leave the coop, walk well enough, find her way back home, eat from the feeder and drink from the water dish. She has friends who care about her. Overall, I think her quality of life is pretty good and she gets a little better almost every day.
 
Oh I see! I had no idea it was normal behaviour for some breeds.
Polish do not tuck their heads under their wings. They either sleep with their necks pulled all the way in or let their heads droop while on the roost or lay on the ground when not roosted.
 
WEDNESDAY WHEREVER.
These two sleepyheads were last up this morning.
