~~Thanks -
No biggie - kind of cool, actually.. (I'm bummed though, we can't keep roos here) At least he was the one that the kids were the LEAST attached to! It's funny how soon we started suspecting -- Bootsie (maybe to be called Butch now?) is standoffish and has the raspiest voice of all of them.
Also Bootsie has been pretty aggressive with everyone and also really watchful of the others -- Goes crazy when they aren't all within reach. Does a lot of running around flapping and fluffing feathers, chest bumping and hopping on the others and pecking too.
Also likes to be roosted higher than anyone (standing on the feeder in the brooder) and won't be held if he can help it. Bootsie's gait is different looking too somehow -- sort of a loping swagger when walking -- just didn't look chicken-ish somehow.
Thanks again - can't wait to hear the first cock-a-doodle!
