When I got him, he couldn't walk. His little legs were just stuck out to the sides. After a lot of work they are pretty much in place. He kinda waddles now. Widget is now paranoid of Sophie who looks a lot like Scrappy. With her poof she can't see too well and is all jumpy at poor Sophie. I think I have traumatized poor Widget.

Poor Widget. She'll start to feel ok again soon.

Maybe Scrappy goes on the offensive BECAUSE of his legs - he doesn't want the others to attack him first? It's all down to body language after all, and even if he's tiny I'm sure if he feels he can make everyone know he's 'dominant' then he won't get attacked? Maybe if you leave him in with the others in a wire cage for a while so he feels less freaked out? I have a tiny bantam who is dominant over a RIR - she just chests up to the big hen! It's actually kinda cute.

Scrappy sounds a bit...uh aggressive all round though.

Maybe Scrappy dreams of being an indoor lap chicken?

Being a guide dog puppy raiser I've learned that once you name the animal, it's all over. Our first guide dog puppy was Patton. He had tons of energy and wouldn't quit and he was dropped from the program. Now we have Moxie who, um, has a lot of Moxie. LOL
