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.

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!

He’ll be going on 2 years old soon, in a few months. He’s the father of Lunas daughters.

he’s a very friendly rooster, very alert, he’s probably the smartest of the four.
He loves scrambled egg and bananas as a treat and his best bud in the flock is probably Luna... his girlfriend :p

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!

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!!

Hope everything’s okay!
lovely photos! Everyone’s looking happy and healthy.
sorry about Sandi. :hugs
congrats on your new chicks!
Wish the weather was like that here, they’re forecasting snow for tomorrow. :oops:
