He is 9 mos old (cockrel), father and grandfather are friendly...so a good sign :)
Willing to bring him to you if reasonable distance.

My gal, Michele, has been having trouble walking. I don't see any problems with her lower legs or feet. She's doesn't have lice or worms. She does lay eggs... though seldom as expected with her age. Her comb is bright and her feathers have luster.
Each day when she leaves the coop she eats...
