Yeti is 1 year old Olive Egger, hatched May 23 2018
He has been Marek's vaccinated
He has feathered legs.
If bred with blue egg layers the female offspring will produce bright green eggs!

As a chick he loved being on your head.
Yeti has been hand raised but we wanted him to protect his flock from coyotes if necessary so we have not tried too hard to curb his attack. We still pick him up and cuddle now and again but now the flock has been relocated to a huge coyote-proof enclosure with horses and donkeys and there are lots of people going in and out and he is doing his best to protect his flock but bruising up humans in the process. He needs real free-range where his amazing instincts can keep his ladies safe, or to be somewhere with only a couple known humans that he can get used to and know they are not a threat. We just have a lot of "strangers" around him and it's too much for them, not for him! He takes his job seriously and I have no doubt he would take down a coyote for his ladies.
He will probably settle down, he is going through his 1 yr old adult/puberty thing and unfortunately he doesn't live with me so I don't have much say over it and I don't want the volunteers and clients to get hurt in this stage of his life.
