How’s Nemo doing today?

Honestly, really good! He's a little terror (hormonal teenage cockerel) who likes to bite me and pester his brother, but otherwise he's good!

He obviously can't fly, but doesn't seem to bothered (his "good wing" hangs a little low, so I think both of his wings are weak). He's also pretty small (compared to the three other cockerels I hatched at the same time), but definitely thinks he's the head rooster. He LOVES to crow (see attached picture )

The interesting thing is his colors - he's like a little patchwork quilt. He's mostly black, but his silkied feathers are red, his saddle feathers are buff, and his hackles are whitish/silver. He's also got some barred feathers in there too. It's a weird mix!

Here’s some pics I took today (don’t mind the random April snow, it IS New England!)
