I have a tiny little Cochin roo, but you can't tell him that. I had to seperate him from my main flock because he would pick fights with all my other roos (even my rather large cochin, who is roughly 4 times the little guy's size). The little feler is only about 6-8in. tall. His name is Elvis.

Quote: He does feel thin, thanks for all the advice! I'll post as new info comes.
