That's what I thought. I looked up photos and it looks nothing like it but then my friend insisted that it was a chigger and even when I told her that it was yellow when I smashed it not red she said that the yellow is from eating human flesh. I have no idea. But it is definitely not a chigger.
It looks like a pic I found of bark lice. Makes sense bc I was under some old pine trees when they got on me.
Unrelated but I cannot belive how hard it is to give away roosters! Even to people with crappy ones they don't even like and can't do anything with. Like really, do you like sprinting in with a trash can lid sheild just to feed your chickens THAT much? Cripes I don't get people.
yeah and they want them to go to a 'good home' .. like it would be a good home any more with a taterhead rooster! and they get upset when you say eat them or that you will take it for food..... then you find out it was a tater from a chick, but it was cute then...wonder what their kids are like LOLHehe! Human flesh...sounds so ominous.
I even have someone that will do it for me and turn him into dog food. I feel guilty because he wasn’t always a jerk. (I feel like I must have done something) I’ve tried charging him, ignoring him, standing up to him. Nothing seems to work. I’m wondering if he has brain damage or something. He’ll attack the lid to the waterer. I don’t have to be holding it. I can tak it off and he’ll attack it on the ground. 
He so beautiful. He goes through spells of being ok to being a tater. I haven’t figured it out.
@apryl29 I agree with bark lice. I looked up more pictures and they sure do fit the bill.
As for the taterhead rooster—I have one and I can’t kill him.
So I lost 2 from this hatch
I got 3 in and 2 ran off in the pen. Came back with a flashlight and couldn't find a white one and couldn't catch the brown one.Lighting hit the high power lines next to my property so I figured they were on their own...At dawn the brown one was at the door to a different coop
and the white one showed up about 6 am 
my favorite tom is a taterhead when he eats the wrong food... chicken grower and he is jumping on me. Turkey grower only and he is fine.. right now he is filling up on mulberries and grass seed.. so he is getting 28% turkey starter and is still having an occasional attack. I put him in a time out pen for an hour and he is ok for a day or 2... but he is going to go to freezer camp soon because I am getting sick of it.@apryl29 I agree with bark lice.
