Red: The brute of the bunch. He got his name from, what else, his color. He's anything but a pet, he's mean, chases people, and hates dogs. The only...
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.
I'm getting ready to do a scholarship for my 4-H poultry club and I'm deciding between 2 breeds.
These chickens are going to be shown, and not put with my home flock, if that makes a difference.
The two breeds I've narrowed it down to are Buff Brahma Bantams and Bearded d'Anvers Bantams (not...

But I'm still worried, he's sleeping alot, is this a worry? Or can he go back outside?

Sure
About... 3-5 years.
About a year.
His usual home is in my chicken coop, but right now he's in my living room so he can keep warm.
He eats crack corn and he freeranges.
Does that help?
One of my BO roos is not in very good shape.
He keeps his tail very low (almost dragging the ground). He can hardly keep his eyes open and he keeps his head held tight against his shoulders. He seems to be very weak and can't keep his wings up against his body or walk very much. He does have his...
Get a tredmill,
Find a way to keep her on the treds,
hang a steak just outside her reach in front of the tredmill,
turn the tredmill on high and watch her run!!!
