You mean teenagers . We aren’t children .

Children to me

It would appear the buff orpington argument has started all over again.

Yeah. You wouldn’t believe how many Wing of Fire roleplays, OCs, AUs, MAPs, and fanart there is. Several people say they didn’t like the ‘everyone lives yay happy ending’ to the last book though.

I don't blame that thought. Basically every ending ever now is the happy ever after

5. Some have feet floof
6. Sooo cuddly
7. Great personalities
8. They eat anything

That's just orpingtons in general. They don't have to be the color buff to have those qualities.
My bantam cochins are like that and they at least have fluff.

Do y'all think Fluffs is "too" skinny?

Very much so. And far too light. Too much leg, not enough floof.

Auntie's observations:

I've mentioned this before. There has been a recent influx of well-intentioned young people to BYC. They seem to think that BYC is more like Discord or something similar, where following people and getting likes and whatnot is important. Now, this is in Random Ramblings, so that's all well and good.

But what I think is happening is that the two chicken camps (the older chicken-focused camp and the younger social camp) are encountering one another, and there is friction, or - at the very least - an uncomfortable adjustment.

My vast, vast experience (read: expertise) with the younger generations has led me to recognize that the aforementioned younger camp has a limited worldview due to lack of life lived, not through any real fault of their own. Many exist in a figurative snow globe, if you will. Beyond that, they are out of their element. Inside of that snow globe, the older camp is out of its element.

So let's be nice to the young uns and endeavor to not upset the snow globe. They'll figure it out as they get older and likely look backwards and cringe.

Discord has likes?

Fair enough though
