I'm so proud of Smokey and had to show off his beautiful photo, which was selected for Picture of the Week today. YAY.
Smokey is a blue Cochin bantam. He was 5 months old when the photo was taken. He's a very good cockerel, assertive without mean-ness, gentle with the ladies, and always looking for bugs, treats and calling them to him. He comes onto my lap when he wants to cuddle, and is very gentle. When I come out with treats, he lets all his hens and chicks eat first, and I always make sure he gets some when almost all is gone.
