Charlie loves being 'king' over his little domain:
From this angle he really does look regal!
It's a good thing he can't see his bare neck - he would be embarrassed.
As he gets older, I've noticed more black spots in his tail feathers.
Here is an old pic of Oscar - Charlie's father - he was jet balck:
I gave him and his 'wife', Nina to a local farmer years ago - they did not get along with anyone or anything. Very unfriendly - they both loved to bite!
It always surprises me when you post his pics, never think of a chicken being regal looking until Charlie.
ReplyDeleteFor a "mutt" he really does have beautiful feathers - they just glisten in the sunlight. The way he struts around the hens is so funny to watch. Sometimes I am so tempted to let a few eggs hatch just see see what the chicks would look like.....
