Stumpy: Then and now! (pics) UPDATED

[Reurra]

Here Stumpy is at 13 weeks getting his morning feeding! He sure has grown! He also is getting his beautiful saddle feathers along his back. He has gotten to liking being cuddled, although he still acts like a dram queen when moving him about. Despite the pictures, his eyes are almost green! He still peeps, but now and again he will bawk at me. He does not like being carried around much, but he loves sitting and watching life from my lap.

I'm always drawn to the under dog - oops, chicken, especially when they have 'true grit," and perservere despite the odds. Thank for for such a great story and your wonderful care of Stumpy. Kudos to your husband for knowing he deserved a chance.
