I noticed today that one of the Fabulous Houdan Brothers was plucked bald on the back and was worried that Ninja the rooster had trapped him and done some damage. Whereupon @ksonney admitted that the problem was not Ninja. It was...well...

“I love my gay roosters and support their lifestyle,” said @ksonney, staunch ally.

When Shep had picked themself up off the floor and finished laughing hysterically, they managed to gasp out that Other Brother Daryl probably needed a hen saddle.

It’s a little cloth cape that keeps the rooster from doing damage with those big pointy feet when mounting the hen. Or, in this case, a bro. I guess Kevin’s breeding project for endangered Mottled Houdan chickens is maybe back to square one.

Of course we wound up with gay roosters. I don’t know why I’m even surprised any more.
