We found Che at the feed store as an adult. He was locked up in a tiny cage (which of course pulled at our heartstrings) and then we saw his weird little crippled leg. One of the workers there was making jokes about feeding him to the huge python the store keeps if he didn't sell. The toes were turned sideways and there was lots of scarring. He doesn't stand up straight like normal Indian Runners because of the injury. He's weird, in my opinion, because of how he reacts to the dogs and other chickens. He used to love hanging out with Sandy but she would play a little rough with him (he'd always end up covered in slobber with his feathers in disarray).You've got me curious now - what's the story with Che? I know they get a little weird when by themselves - my Buff keeps trying to attract the rooster, she has friends in the brooder.
He didn't like Kimchi and Rosie, so he'd attack them with his bill, but it annoyed them, so they'd attack him. He actually has scarring on his bill from that. At one point, one of them had cut him on the back and I had to keep him in the garage until I knew he was healed up.
Around chickens, he's pretty normal until they get too close to the water bucket/pool. At that point, he sticks his bill under their wings and nibbles until they get annoyed enough to leave him alone. It always looks like he is searching for food in there, haha!
