Alligator roo

Hannibal, I like that. I am having a heck of a time coming up with names for the chooks. I used to have so much fun naming my animals, now I just can't come up with anything. It's so bad that I have a

rabbit named "Fart Knocker" because that's what I called him when he was just a wee little turd and was the biggest pest in the pen. Well, he is now about 4 months old and I never came up with anything different so that's still what we call him

Cyanne, Tyson is a handsome little fellow.

JayBird, I have an EE (supposed to be an Ameraucana, but I'm not so sure) hen who does this. In her case, she is begging for treats. Whatever I have is always better than what is in their food dish (even if it's the same darn thing

) silly chicken.

My little guy seemed better behaved today, maybe our chat the other day had more impact than I thought it did. Then again, I didn't pick him up yet today either. They are all still too shy to eat out of my hand, but I got some really tempting treats so hopefully they'll come around quickly. Is it okay to give Mr. Hateful treats as long as he isn't actively misbehaving? Or do I need to wait until he is behaving better in general?

Sorry I should not be laughing.......but I am!!! LOLOLOL

It is not funny that he is biting, it is funny the way you described it!! So sorry for laughing!!!

Anyways, I cover mines heads OR if that doesnt seem to work I flick them on the comb. Not super hard, just enough to get their attention and then I loudly say NO NO NO!!!

Good luck.

You can go on and laugh, lol. It's okay. I figured it might attract some attention that way, be a little less likely to be as overlooked

I recently started a thread on here to figure out his color, and it was more complicated than I ever thought it would be! The final word that the genetics guru guy gave was this:

"He has a crow wing so he is birchen, he is heterozygous (split) for silver and gold (lemon) and he also carries one dunn gene. I believe that will make him a lemon dun crow wing or lemon chocolate."

You can read the full thread here, if you like and see more pics of Tyson:
