Uh huh, Hester is pretty funny XD His handicap is his weird neck. Its all twisted. I think thats a result of, when he was in the egg, his egg might not of rolled properly, or it wasn't humid enough, so he just stuck to the side of the shell.
He was a real sweetheart untill...the two wyandottes arived! We had already one hen anyway (who bullied him), but something must have clicked in his little head. He started protecting then ferociously. I can still pick him up, as he doesn't run away, and he is still relatively tame.
And the funniest thing he does...Since his neck can't stretch all the way round, he can't reach anywhere to preen himself. So, we have to it for him! And when we do it, the feeling of our fingers makes him think that he's doing it! So then he starts preening too...in middair. He just preens thin air!
Ahhh, he's a funny thing
