Bootsie is getting bigger!View attachment 2603045View attachment 2603046View attachment 2603047
And this is his official theme song:

Bootsie is adorable!!

 

[CrazyCochin]

I am pretty certain that Holly, the red Banty Cochin, is Bootsie's mother!
Observe! the stalks of his feathers are bright red, like that of the red cochin! Plus, I have been watching Holly and Bo, the standard size BB, and they are very close!

Also, he is getting very shiny! So yes, I will admit it ~ I am convinced he is a cockerel!

Bootsie is doing wonderful, he’s growing up to be such a wonderful and sweet boy!
After I bring him in from the big chicken yard, ( because I am trying to get him used to being out with the flock ) he’ll come up and jump up on my back, and he will also follow me around!

 

[CrazyCochin]

He is almost as tall as the Bantam Cochin hens!
And he has the fluffiest feet!

Such a lady-killer!

 

[CrazyCochin]

Such a lady-killer!

No need to worry, he does it out of friendliness, and because he wants to get away from the bigger hens!
I am waiting for the warmer weather to show up and then I will start locking up the hens at night with him in their henhouse, that is how we train the youngsters!

He has really bonded with me, he follows me around like a dog!

No, no, I didn't mean it as a bad thing -- "lady-killer" is a term used to refer to very handsome males.
