I think this guy is going to get to stay so he needs a name. I am open to suggestions, but I like short and simple names. He has the jade green tiping or covering his black feathers at the base of hackles, wing tips, and tail (colored like a RIR's green tail feather).
Sorry, giggling over here at the idea.
Very handsome I like fester igor is cute too
Thing?

arrgh, I just clued in that I may be having the same problem...I thought it was just left over from before I got rid of the rooster and they would be bare till they molted....it is the bottom 3 of the flock that are bare or almost bare backed. I didnt think much of it since he was really rough on them but I just noticed more feathers gone from one of them than what have been. I have only 7 hens in a 32 sq ft coop with a poop board that gives a little more room than that and an 200 sq foot run so I am thinking overcrowding is not the problem. I have never seen anyone doing it so not sure who the culprit is.....but my 2 EE's and to a much lesser extent my most timid B.O have feathers missing at least from their saddle area and much farther up on the EE's. Sigh I have enough problems with one of the EE's stubborn bumblefoot.
Anyways, here's some pics of the two!
Switch it up! How about Igor? Pronounced "eye-gore" of course.
As far as @daxigait 's roo.... I've been giving my roos Greek and Roman names. Augustus Nero and Orpheus so far.
Pick a theme and run with it! That's part of the fun! And I agree, he's quite striking.
