Zeus.
View attachment 2047265

This is Zeus, he’s a Blue Buff Columbian Brahma rooster.
He’s from my original flock of Brahmas
I got him as a hatching egg in may 2018 and hatched him under my broody RIR hen.
He’s quite a goofy one, he’s very friendly and he sometimes lets people pet him, he loves stealing the dogs food and he loves all treats, he loves food.
He’s a the father of all the blue buff columbian, lemon Pyle Brahma pullets and roosters hatched last year.
He’s also top rooster since a few days ago.

Handsome boys!!!! Luna and Prince are just adorable! But then I've always liked seeing pictures of Luna... :love
 
Well today end up being interesting!
Hopper got string around her leg and I didn't realize it so when I pulled she freaked, oldest went to pick her up and chaos erupted as she screamed and my poor kid had everyone going at him! :gig:he but we got her untangled and everyone needed a moment. Lol!

The rain let up by lunch time and we were able to add and arrange some more nesting areas!

nice setup! Looking very tidy.
I remember when one of our ducks got string around their legs, let’s just say that it wasn’t easy getting it off. :lau
Toasted looks gorgeous!

Oh my God! Zeus is massive! Is he your biggest brahma?
 
I spent a lot of time out with the girls and babies today... I found out I may have heart issues so I might need to be doing tests soon, which I'm glad! Just spending time with the flock calms me more than anything.
Sooo Fun Pictures!

My mom took me and my kids to Atwood's yesterday and these were just too cute! I have two of the white fluffiest, either Brahma or Cochin, one wynadotte looking, and two of the dark headed Lil guy.

This one had major pasty butt, after serious cleaning, and my mom snuggling it in a warm towel, it was fluffy again for going back to friends! It liked laying across my hand :love

Today is sun shining beautifulness! Almost 80F outside right now.... Crazy!!
