Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

It's given me a great idea for next time, though! Do you remember his The Naming of Cats? There's some doozies in there!

I love Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats - The Naming of Cats has lots of lovely names but they are more cat than chicken I feel. Coricopat and Jellylorum have always been favorites.

Good roosters are so precious!

Kris, what happened tonight: I had my new (the new) hen the one in danger, in with me. Jaffar stood outside my window crowing loud wanting her back. I gave her some vitamin water, then brought her back to her rooster. (I guess I’m not the top rooster in my household)

I feel any of these could work: Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter...plus your 2 & Quaxo ~ though that might be better for a duck...

Agree.

We cleaned Roostie’s eye more thoroughly today, and he is now officially partially blind. Looks like I will need to re-asses his housing situation for something more permanent, a little more sheltered, and with plenty of enrichment for his ladies. He is still doing a good job herding them all to shelter at aerial predator alarms, and seems to be doing ok. I’m feeling really disappointed with myself, and awful that he’s in this position. He has been such a diligent, well mannered, and sweet rooster. He never tries to steal other ladies, keeps his girls safe and to themselves. And he was doing so much better with his foot.

O no. Poor guy. I'm so sorry for both of you.

Good on you for having a go - especially as some of these go back to references in much earlier posts. put all 4 names in Google then characters in... & I think you will find most will come up.

NO GUESSING AFTER YOU GOOGLE!
