Yep- hard lesson- but i can't blame barny at all- i gave him treats which confused the issues for him- gorgeous bird- even that small interaction caused problems- my theory now is look, enjoy them but hands off unless necessary! with the current roo i am using that theory- he will come over when i dish out food, but i'm not interacting specifically with him, although i may need to do his spurs- dreading that- but gotta do something with them- maybe just file them down a bit?

So far I haven't had any cochin roos be agressive in any way. I have 3 of Jack's black copper marans chick in the brooder with my March 20th hatch of milles and partridge cochins and those coppers are already clearly more agressive than my birds. Today when I picked them out of the tank/brooder to clean it, each one of the little buggers pecked me! I like my teddy bear chickens. Their passiveness is the #1 reason I picked cochins.
One of the best things about chickens is that there is a breed/breeds for everyone.

Bought him at Atwoods in Shawnee. I think they get their chicks from Ideal or McMurray. The bin wasn't labeled and the girl that helped me didn't know her birds. She told me he was Buff Orpington, but the comb isn't right.
Thor has a really small comb and hardly any wattle.
Here is another photo of him.

Hi Matt, thought you might have just called to visit, are you ever up this way to see your folks, holler some time and come see what I got. Not too sure about the Bantum Shamos, they are cute but I promised myself I would not get back into bantums, used to have OEGB in 19 different colors to show!!! Lynn
