    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I encountered a crocheter who charged something like a penny a stitch. That I can figure out for a price. How long did I work on it? Even with a timer, I couldn't tell you. "MA! Come quick! I think she's dead!"

    All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

    Cutie, but with the wattles coming too, my knee-jerk reaction is cockerel. That being said, do bantams develop faster than standard sized birds?
