Senior citizen - cranky, old people, you know, the ones with all the disposable income

I just found out the cast of the 6th Pirates of the Caribbean!! Johnny Depp and Jenna Ortega are the main characters. It’s supposed to come out in mid to late 2025. POTC are my favorite movies, so I’m super eggcited!! Edit: Ortega is playing as Cpt. Sparrow’s daughter. I’m super happy that Depp decided to be in the movie after what Disney did.

Tax: one of Pastel’s nephews. HE is about the same age as Gumbo. Their faces and body are the same. Pretty sure that they are both roosters! This little fella is a pretty little dude.

He’s a beauty for sure

You are cecal obsessed.

Ya…. I think it’s because I am constantly grabbing hay bales and straw bales with poopy strings, not to mention slipping on that stuff in the barn - it makes those brick pavers really slippery!

Happy Saturday Cat thing!… My friend took me to the local humane Society to play with cats and walk some dogs.
This is Bill.

Good odds of getting blue barred birds....


Edit: blue barred roos, solid blue pullets

Oi, well I guess I will know if they are pullets or not in that case… I was hoping for a jaunty BR pullet with a sassy topknot

Gumbo looks like a fella to me

We need a pool.

Tell Sir Jaffar that I say hello!

I told him that you said hi
And he said “hey is that the sweet little peaches gal from Georgia?” What ever that means

They are kinda older photos. He’s almost as big as Pastel. I’ll get some on Sunday. My parents are out of town and I’m spending the weekend at a friend’s house.
He’s the light colored BR in front next to Splotch (the darker one) His tail feathers are curly. I’m positive he’s a rooster, but if you wanna make sure, I’m fine with that because I’m not sure if I want him gone! Also, the photo is from the beginning of January.View attachment 3739248

Hard to tell for sure from this photo, but I don't see 'drapie-ness'on hackles, and while some BR roos aren't as light as others - s/he doesn't seem to me to be as light as most roos are. (much more white with black barring versus black with white barring fr hens.)

You can probably tell better, being in person and all...but this photo doesn't confirm either way for me. A good side shot (on the ground, so feathers not blocked by arm) of his/her hackle and saddle feathers would help....close enough to see the feather tips - pointy/drapey or rounded - in the hackle and saddle areas.

BTW I have had hens with one or two curved tail feathers like what is showing in this picture. They weren't as long nor quite as curved as a full-grown roo - but there were some hens (pullets) I was questioning if they were she or he initially due to the tail feathers.....another couple of weeks later, the 'he's' tail feathers got longer and the hackle feathers noticeably drapier...the 'she' tail feathers didn't change, and the hackle feathers - when compared to 'he' were much more rounded and thicker through the length.

I could have gone all day without hearing that!
