[Bart opens sitting in a pen with a pair of what to the casual eye look like very small chickens calmly enjoying his company.]

So, as some of you may remember, back in the first week of April I got a dozen day-old chicks to raise up to lay eggs in the future. They were sexed to be girls, but unfortunately that's not a foolproof check that early in life. So...

[He pauses to pick up the mostly white one, who barely struggles at the manhandling and quickly calms in his lap after a few protesting caws and pets from his owner.]

This one isn't a hen. Well, technically the girls are called pullets at this age, but this fella here? He's a cockerel. And I'm not planning to breed new chicks, so I need to find him a good home. As you can see he's pretty well mannered and doesn't tend towards bad habits, although he will untie your shoelaces for you if you let him. But he is a boy and he does crow, so make sure you have enough space so he doesn't decide to do it right outside your window every morning. A rooster's crow is so loud you really shouldn't be listening without ear protection. As a matter of fact, nature has given roosters a natural ear protection for when they crow, otherwise they'd deafen themselves.

But enough of that. If you have interest in a good feathery boy, feel free to contact me. All I ask is he be well taken care of and have a good life.

Barbara only pecked you because you squeezed her!

[mostdangerousbird]

Is that Barbara? Double no. I just didn’t want to deal with the early morning crowing.

Also, I didn’t mean to squeeze her. She was wiggling, and I didn’t want to drop her.

[kid_flash_found]

Barbara is the red one. I still need to name most of them, other than just by color.

[mostdangerousbird]

What if you do a contest on Twitch to name them?

[kid_flash_found]

Have you seen what kinds of suggestions win those?

[mostdangerousbird]

What if I live moderate the feed for you and make sure that only a curated list hits the polls?

[kid_flash_found]

I'll consider it. If you promise not to let anything like Poopy MacPoopface go through.

[mostdangerousbird]

It’s me. I’m not going to let names like that through. I have to maintain my credibility.

[kid_flash_found]

What credibility is that again?

[mostdangerousbird]

None, if you keep it up.

I’ve worked very hard to be seen as responsible.

[kid_flash_found]

Responsible, certainly. But not sure how that relates to credible.

But yeah, you can totally play mod if I do it.

[mostdangerousbird]

They go hand-in-hand to most people. You’re not going to be trusted and relied upon if you’re not seen as responsible.
