Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

They're the perfect size for their feathered operators!

I never had one as a kid. I am jealous. Will I be judged for buying one just for me and the chickens?!

Definitely not, everyone should have a Tonka in their lives, chickens included.

I was just going to tag you and @rural mouse to point out the yellow truck.
All the best chicken yards have them it seems!

And of course I have an affinity for heavy equipment

They are almost as expensive as the real thing!

Yes, cuckoo Dumpy, I know. Rare here... I looked for them a decade ago. People usually don't realize there's a difference between cuckoo & barred feathers.

Cuckoo pattern is irregular and/or V-shaped across each feather

While Barred feather pattern runs connected across each feather

I think I've heard this before, probably from someone in this thread, @rural mouse ? But this stuff barely sinks in so it's great to hear it again. But what is the origin of the name / word Dumpy? These aren't Barred Rocks?

Not at all. I came across a version of those metal chicken silhouettes while shopping for gardening supplies and thought of you. I added one of them to my order. I'm looking at it right now and enjoying it! At least the truck has utility, the dump you could put treats in, or water, and the crane you could hang a treat off of...

I had an orange knock-off, and part plastic, but the dump part worked, and it was great!

Go for it!
