> Jennifer, OMG!!! That has to be the cutest little birdie on the planet! What a bizarre looking little thing! Looking at the comb, I would say he was a boy birdie. But only time will tell on that one. He is precious in every way. Glad he's a 'house chicken'...more and more, people are learning what interesting and entertaining pets house chickens make. The roosters actually seem to be the most fun since they have such 'personalities'. You will be amused at how he learns to come when he's called. I taught our house rooster, Alex, the meaning of the word "stop!". We used to travel with him and that meant letting him out for a potty break in various fields or even parking lot planters. If Alex decided to race around, or pick up a cigarette butt, I could say "STOP" and he would freeze. If you have a chance, go see Alex's folder on this group "Alex, the man about town". We used to love to take him in the cart with us at Micheals...people would pass by tinking he was a straw chicken in the cart, but then they'd see him move and about die! It was so funny! We'd tell them the roosters were on isle 7. Most of the time, they'd believe us! People are so silly.

> Thanks for the info George! We absolutely love him to pieces! He's black with a tiny little white stripe going up his neck that seems to disappearing as his feathers grow out more. He was fully feathered when we brought him home but he still had some feathers that were growing and were still in pin form at the base. He's pretty much grown out most of those. I'll try and attach some pictures of him. He's grown even in the week and a half that we've had him and is an absolute hoot. He tears around the house every so often and just makes us laugh but loves to cuddle with us. We've taken him outside where the grass was higher than he was this weekend before it got mowed. He was fine as long as he could see us. He's quite
