SHERMAN-he is 6 now and lives with the "older" girls as the only rooster on that side of the coop but when they get out to free range he manages to steal one of several young girls to hang out with. They all love Sherman the gentleman

Stewart. Head rooster of the "young birds" side. He is 1 1/2. He knows he's a looker and loves attention. He does not like the older girls mingling with "his" flock and promptly chases them back to Sherman. Stewart is Wheaten coloured.

Re: Old English Game Bantams
She is spoiled and a bit demanding. She bullys some of the big birds that she lives with. She detests her two biological daughters (Teeny and Pebbles). Teeny was hatched in an incubator and raised by me...Pebbles hatched under Little. To me these two answer a lot of questions about the nurture/nature debate. They are both more like their mother than any of the others and all 3 of them attack me to try to snuggle inside my coat on cold days.
Little and Sherman carry the mottled gene.

Re: Old English Game Bantams
Teeny Weeny is a bit of an outcast with the other little girls. She was raised with big birds and is the boss of them. She gets picked on a bit by a couple of the little girls. Teeny is on my shoulder every time I go in the coop. She jumps on my leg and run/flies up my back and onto my shoulder or head. There's really no saying no to her. When everyone is out free ranging Teeny usually chooses to be with me.
