I love your bullies I had an Olde Boston Bulldogge as a kid & would've got one when I was an adult except the breeders started breeding more "pug" noses & I prefer a square jaw like the olden days.

My Jiggy ~ I cried as a kid when the breeder said Olde Boston's had cropped tails & ears so my Dad told the breeder to leave the baby pup's tail/ears au naturale!

Helen Keller's Olde Boston Bulldogge "Phiz"

Sorry I’m replying to this late!! But thanks! Breeders are definitely leaving the proper features it seems. It’s sad when they do that. It frustrates me so much, a lot of breeders care more about looks than health.

I have to tell you all this sweet story.
I have mereks in my flock and I've lost a lot of chickens over the last 3 years. Its a closed flock now and I haven't allowed my hens to hatch anymore babies. I've also kept all my roosters.
Elmer, one of my bantam roosters, has been alone since his 3 brother died. He has a coop within the large coop seperated by a hardware cloth door and a seperate run all his own. A couple of days ago I didn't close his door well and Hattie, a cochin frizzle, went inside and laid an egg and stayed. They seem to be a happy couple. Elmer has been such a sweet gentleman with her. I think its love.
Here are Elmer and Hattie in their honeymoon run.

Why are her wing feathers like that? Looks scary!

She’s a frizzle, like Curly. They are my mutant chickens.

She also needs to moult which I am hoping she does soon. But those feathers are dangerous if they get you in the eye!

Yesterday I was in a panic over Sue

It’s been miserably hot and humid and there she was laying there

She’s fine, but I think she put a hex on me!
