He has some very pretty, shiny feathers on him. But that face is just not up to the sexiness promised, much like the real Fabio. That's how he got his name.
I wouldn't trade him for the world now. He's a very good flock guardian. I have to take him inside to get him to eat a treat. He gives them all away. He watches for the hawks, breaks up fights, and feeds the chicks. Even when I brought home a 7.5 week old ameraucana pair he was feeding them and showing them were the good stuff was. The cockerel fluffed out his hackles and got into a stare at him once. He never even lifted a feather, just looked at him a moment and the baby just walked off. If I'm yelling and after a girl who doesn't want to go to bed, then he'll run out with both wings down and chase her butt into the coop. That's as close to aggression as he ever shows.
