Posted November 15, 200816 yr This hen followed me home yesterday. She has the sweetest baby face but has a ring showing SA 06 5905 I take it that 06 is 2006? Is anyone able to help with their detective skills to work out who she came from? For the photo junkies (all of us) I have posted some pics! Her cheek spots are so beautiful, they look blue in the picture but in fact are a gorgeous bright grey colour. I am concerned as she hasn't eaten as yet and I got her yesterday afternoon, maybe she is missing the company of other birds although this can't be helped as she is in quarantine.

November 15, 200816 yr She is stunning!! It's quite normal for new birds to not eat for a day or two. you have her food at perch height, so she will eat soon If she gets green runny poop then you will need to do something, but until then i'm sure she will eat when your not looking. A Millet spray at perch height also helps
November 15, 200816 yr SA is a generic south australian uncoded legring. You may never find out who bred her. She looks very nice and healthy and YES she is an 06 bird. Grey green opaline.

A Millet spray at perch height also helps When I look at her poop the white watery bit has soaked into the newspaper and the green stuff is normal consistency. I'll put some Millett in too. I noticed her a while ago when I was in the pet shop when I got the pet~type pastels...that reminds me she was in the same cage as the others I got does that mean she doesn't have to be in quarantine from them? It was only a week or two ago that I got them! Someone must have done a serious cull as there are some beautiful birds there but I am only needing two hens as I might not be breeding from two that I have already (not in great condition, one hunches over and the other looks past it). When she has been quarantined and when she is condition I was hoping to put her with the green boy pictured below.
November 15, 200816 yr she is beautiful, blow on the seeds and see if any empty husks fly off sometimes it is deceiving. congrats.
