Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I went out to get some pictures earlier of fluffy butts, which I did. In trying to get pictures it became clear that Branch knows what the camera is and if I was not out to take pictures of him he made sure he was going to photobomb the majority of them. I gave in and took about 50 pictures of the little man.
Practicing his King Kong look.

Making sure I still was focused on him

He spent 3 minutes insisting that I needed this special leaf he kept offering me. Yes I know, he thinks I'm one of his hens.

I love this one as it has both of "my boys" in it. It is also shows the size difference between Bubba and his bodyguard.

Beetov-Hen left us this morning. I found her body still warm, but against the coop door (as if wanting out to say goodbye)

What happened?

Wow, he looks nearly identical to Roosty, my 13+ year old rooster:

Wow he is wonderful!

All you hawk experts - are any of these pictures good enough to identify this potential chicken-eater?
Apologies for lots of bad quality blurry photos - it is all I ever get to see.

The bottom of that bird seems awful dark for a hawk. It could just be the quality of the photo though. I can't be sure.

I don’t have anymore words yet about her. I’m still in shock.

Bubba is my 7 month old Black Copper Marans. I also have his almost 10 month old full brother Basil.
Here is a few Basil pictures from this morning.

Oh no... That's terribly sad for you. Very sorry.

Forgot to say he had the biggest spurs i’ve ever seen, about 2 inches long.
