Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

The only alcoholic beverage that I would drink!

I was in Italy in 2010. We were told told not to buy chianti unless it had a black rooster on the label. I don't know the brand, but it was good chianti.

Here, have some nuts with your Chianti
And you really can’t go wrong with a wine that has a rooster on the label!

My phone camera doesn't do well when its hot outside, so I'm sorry if the pictures suck. Also, Featherhead, I'm sorry. I forgot Meally Worms for my friends chooks.
Yup, blurry. Darn.
This is Pumpkin (the huge roo) and all if his girls. BR, GLW, ISA Browns, RIR, some Spanish breed, LO (lavender Orphington), BA, Starlight Green Egger(?) And maybe some more.

All of Pumpkins sons and the few daughters he has. The green one is so pretty. I think my friend is going to keep him even though he is a roo.
The big darker barred one is also a roo. I think that they are calling him Pastel because he looks like my awesome boy. They watch my birds while we are gone, and my Pastel IMMENSELY DISLIKES (not hate, hate is a strong word) my friend.

This is some really pretty breed. Not a lavender orphington, but she is really sweet. I was calling her Smokey.

And then these are RIR cockerels. They are being raised as meat birds.

Sorry about the poor quality pictures.

they are very cute. I thought RIRs were layer breeds? Not meat?

Is Jaffar a Naked neck? Or is he just missing feathers on his neck?

WHERE DID ALL HIS FEATHERS GO, EH?

RIR are, in theory, a Dual Purpose breed. However, many of the ones from Hatchery stock have become more 'production oriented' and not as heavy as they once were.

It's in the void...just like my feathers

Nope, here's a hint: it sounds like a dessert

Well long time participants will not be surprised to hear that I know exactly what breed we are talking about.
So as not to ruin the game for others I will put the answer behind a spoiler.

Spoiler: Breed answer

The answer is that they are pretty chickens. You are all welcome.
