He is standing like a miniature monster in the photo on the left, ready to attack.

George, it is wonderful to read your posts again!  And you are so right about Seabrite roosters! They ARE the miniature match to Rhode Islands!  My daughter's first true love chicken was a terrible Seabright rooster she named Vladi (For Vlad The Impaler) Vladi taught us to pay close attention to a chicken's subtle body language. If his tail was tilted toward us, that meant he was focusing in on us, sort of like an indicator rod. Spurs and beak would follow shortly. Nothing ever dissuaded him from attacking us, not even soaking with a hose. He finally died, and it broke my poor daughters heart, but the rest of the family secretly rejoiced. It was so that you couldn't EVER go out to the barn without dealing with Vladi all the way there.

It's been a while, so Hi everybody. Hi Cath, I'm happy to see the group is still fulfilling it's purpose to help anyone who requests it. Having taken care of the chickens on the Ark for Cap't Noah, there were only 2, chickens have been part of my life for ever. so-to-speak. I notice pictures of my Seabright chicks are still there. I purchased a half dozen during a trip to the grain store for a load of hay and came home with a box of chicks in my lap and 2 tons of hay. Should have left the chicks. 5 out of 6 were roosters. Eventually got rid of 4 cockerels. About the time the remaining boy was feeling his oats he got into a argument with a hawk. Good thing because he was next on my list. Nothing was safe from that 7 inch high devil. Would loved to have seen it, that hawk earned it's dinner that day. The hen is half way between pet and wild. Other than that I'm down to 8 comets that keep us in eggs and entertain the puppy. Anyway keep up the good work
George
