Just bought a beautiful little Sebright and he's TAME!

So I was at a feed store and saw this ADAORABLE tiny rooster. He was young, just learning to crow. I had to have him. I figured he's just be a pretty bird to look at but he didn't seem very tame. Squaked and flapped and ran when we went to box him up.  Well, I got him home and put him in his new house.  Later that night I went out to catch him. (I don't trust such a tiny bird out at night where we live and he can't go out in the coop with our other chickens. Even my banty cochin is too big and may hurt him) so I reach in to get him and he hops right up on my hand and sat as happy as can be while I carried him in.  This morning he is hanging out with me, jumping from dest to desk, flapping and "crowing" and having a grand old time.  If I approach him he immediately jumps up on my hand. SO CUTE!

 

Haven't decided on a name yet.

 

Whatchu looking at!mmmmm....greens (My beautiful new Sebright Bantum roo)

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

I'm thinking he may of had alot of attention at that feed store and is used to people.  He is a pretty boy!

Oh my!  His beak is the biggest part of him!  He looks healthy.  Good for you!  And him!

Well,

No....I honestly have no idea what he is. I was just told by someone on another forum. He is very young so he probably hasn't gotten all his adult feathers. He looks just like young Sebrights I've seen under the breeds section.

It sounds like he appreciates having a great new home.  What ever breed or mix he is, he is awfully cute.  It will be interesting to see how he develops.
