[Perris]

I assume males are allowed too (the blurb just says she)? At any rate, Fforest is my flock's most popular roo, and he has a splendid set of wattles to boot

Yeah, let me fix that! It should not say "she".

 

[Logar]

This wierdo used to be so skittish and hated when anyone got near her but she really came around after reached 6 months. Still not the friendliest but I’m so happy with the progress she has made

 

[The Coop Crew]

My sweetest cross beak girl Dorothy. She gets so excited to see me everyday and almost always sits in my lap when I go out. She also loves to perch on my arm while I mix her mash. She tries to come into the house if I leave the door open I think she thinks she’s part human.

 

[Addicted To Chickens]

This is Cow Bunting, my Golden Laced Polish rooster. He's always been one of my favorites since he was a little chick, and his sweet and funny personality always brightens up my day. I baby him a lot, even though he can be pretty mean sometimes.

Crossbeaks are the best, aren’t they? She sounds very spoiled too. Thanks for entering her!
