this is not silver cuckoo, at least not pure. @Chooks man will advise you how to breed her.

She hatched from eggs that said she was silver Cuckoo or maybe it was blue silver Cuckoo. Not sure. I asked and she is a Blue Silver Cuckoo.

I see barring on her head. I would have expected some in the body too, but I guess I have never seen one, so

I am right there with you. This is my first Blue Silver Cuckoo. I bought hatching eggs and they where sent with the ones I ordered. She was the only Blue Silver Cuckoo that hatched.

I hope someone will school us. Wow we do have twins! My babies name is Duchess. Whats your pugs name? Duchess will be a year old the 21st of December. We got Duchess at 8 weeks old. Our black pug named Daisy was stolen two years ago. She would be 10 years old now. Our hearts where so broken we decided to get Duchess. You can't ever replace them but we love our little girl. I still look for Daisy in hopes she comes home where she belongs. I wonder if we would even recognize her. She would be so much more grey. Pugs are a special little dog. They have quite the personality.

Awww poor Daisy. Maybe she will return someday!
I totally understand because my Dudley is technically Dudley-2. Dudley1 got out of the yard and got hit by a car and killed. We were devastated. Got Dudley2 in Sept, 2011, he was about 12 weeks at the time. Hard to believe he is 7 years old now. His chin is gray now, but he’s still pretty spunky! He loves his winter jackets. The Santa sweater was a couple years ago.

I keep praying we will find her. I am so sorry about Dudley 1. It is amazing how things can happen so quickly. In 5 minute in a complete fenced yard. Daisy was gone and she was just under my husband's chair. Disappeared.

So Sorry everyone post and picture heavy.

I’m loving looking at your pullets trying to figure out what my 2 eight week old blue birchen pullets might look like when they are older
