Once upon a time there was a little farm called Circle L Stables. In its early years the main focus of the stables was on the horses that came to the farm to recover from some pretty bad lives before moving on to their new forever homes. They had some pretty interesting stories but horses are not the only ones to call Circle L their home.
You see, when the humans moved to a new barn they were adopted by a very special man. He did not have a name when he adopted the humans but they decided to call him Bob and Bob was a big beautiful Rhode Island Red Rooster. Bob's old humans had moved on without him but he was happy to take in the new humans even if they knew nothing about chickens.
Over time the humans decided Bob needed friends and eventually he got a male Swedish Black duck as a companion and the two became inseperable! Life went on for a while until the humans one day brought home a little black cooper maran. Her name was Sue and she had lived a hard life and had to spend several weeks recovering before she could join the boys but eventually she did and they became a happy family of three.
That next spring Sue became known as Mama Sue! Bob was a proud father to be sure though he will admit to sneaking off with his duck friend, Guapo, to escape the pressures of raising children.
Eventually the humans had to leave but unlike Bob's old humans they loaded him and the others up and took the whole family to the new farm! Here the family had even more space to run around and Bob became a dad again! Eventually the family became so big it was hard to keep track of everyone but the humans named as many as they could and tried to be able to tell them apart but Bob didn't blame them for mistaking them every now and then!
Cas, Bob's Oldest Son
Stephano, One of Bob's older daughters.
Two of his daughters taking shelter from the heat under the trees.
Another of Bob's Sons.
The Daughters learned quickly that the humans kept food inside and would come out to feed them if they crowded the porch.
Mama Sue with her last little clutch of 8 little hens and 1 rooster named Chuck Norris.
Times were good but they would not last. Sadly a stray dog managed to get on the property and not only did Bob lose two of his daughters but he also lost his companion of 3 years, Guapo the Duck. It was a sad on the farm for all. Eventually everyone moved on from the heartache but Bob still missed his little quacking, waddling friend so the humans went and found him two new little ducklings and they grew to be known as Frekka and Charlie.
They helped a lot to soothe Bob and life returned to normal. There was even a new addition to the flock the humans had no clue about. She just showed up one day and none of the neighbor humans knew where she came from either. Bob didn't care where she came from as long as she could stay so she became known as Legs and joined Bob's family.
Only 3 short weeks after Legs joined them though tragedy struck again and Old Bob passed away. He was a very old man who lived a very happy life and his death was grieved by all the family, human and chicken alike. The hens were in chaos until Cas finally stood up and took up the mantle as head rooster and the family calmed down once more.
There are even new babies in the family! While no one knows if they are Bob's last children or Cas' first, they are adorable and welcome none-the-less!
The only hiccup the little flock has had was the arrival of Sp00n. No one knows where sp00n came from. He was found as a day old hatchling in the middle of the barn. There were no other chicks as the current babies were 2-4 weeks older then him and a vigorous search of the property found a single shell that Sp00n hatched from but no others and all of the hens, in the confusion, pecked at him and refused to accept the poor tyke! All the humans can think is that Frekka the egg stealing duck whisked away one of Legs' eggs and hid it away but abandoned the baby when it hatched as a chicken instead of a duck!
Luckily the human called Kyo is a sucker for cute little ones and she brought him inside away from the hens so he would not be injured. The plan was to let him grow up big enough to be reunited with the flock when the new coop and run is finished but he has managed to sucker his way into the Kyo-Human's heart and is convinced he will be an inside chicken. Afterall, how can he listen to music and play smash ant on the humans phone if he is outside??
Sp00n was an itty bitty adorable fluffball!
That likes to cuddle with his adopted brother, Lonoh.
Who grew into a pretty, sleek 2 1/2 week old trouble maker.
And he loves stealing Lonoh's food!
Lately, he's convinced he's a Dragon instead of a chicken. Sp00n the Dragon? Seems Legit.
Life goes on at Circle L Stables and with the new coop and run almost complete the humans are talking about expanding the flock and everyone is excited for new friends to join them but in the meantime stick around to hear about the adventures of the little family that could!
