Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

Ok everyone I have a Twig conundrum and may have to rehome him. Let me state this first, he is not aggressive at all and still a very good boy. The problem is Bubba and Branch do not like him and are trying to run him off. Twig is now taking his small harem of girls and leading them to places that is not safe and I do not want them to go to avoid the older 2 boys. He has them down at the barn, and has taken them across the road to the other hillside. I simply cannot have that. It is actually Bubba who is the main aggressor towards Twig. Twig is beautiful and my only Branch offspring and I do not want to rehome him, but, for his and some of my girls safety I probably will have to.

Those legs look BLUE! Are they?

Yes they are blue. I'll get pics of the mom, I think her legs are black.

Totally understand. As Twig has matured watching Bubba and Branches behavioral shifts towards him I see now that my flock is a 2 rooster flock. Twig is also submissive and Bubba is taking advantage. Branch and Bubba coexist peacefully. I can see Twig and Branch working together well, but even If I got rid of Branch which will never happen Bubba and Twig will never work. This leaves me with 2 options, rehoming either Twig or Bubba. I love both boys, but, Bubba is my Drumstick son. Deep down, I cannot let him go for that reason alone. I'm going to be in no rush, I want a wonderful home for Twig. After I find him that perfect home as long as I have both Bubba and Branch I will force myself not to fall for anymore future boys and realize that I tried but my flock cannot be in harmony with 3 boys.

Good job figuring this out. It does make me a bit sad for you. And for Twiggy, of course.

I know I’ve said this before, but I’m so happy to see them behaving like a little tribe.

Amidala Sweet Girl and Itty-bitty's fluffy butt for Top Gun Tax

I always feel bad when Amidala looks sad. She is supposed to be Lety's dog but is totally obsessed with me. She is the biggest sweetheart.
