Please meet, Cassius, my frizzeled Roo. I got him quite by accident at a poultry auction. I had never seen a bantam frizzel and there he was with three more just like him. So, home he came. His companions were Henrietta, a white frizzel hen, and Mya, a black frizzel hen, and this little blue and white frizzel something. I thought it was a hen, but I later learned it was a Roo.

He became Sugar Ray. Now the reason for the boxer names is that they are "fiesty" they will "flog" you if you mess with their hens. And Cassius, dances for his hens hunting food and scratching. So, I named him after Cassius Clay. They don't have spurs and they have about 5 toes. I wonder is this normal? They are adorable little balls of feathers.
