[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.

[ he's just going to @ his brother. both the older ones, for good measure. ]

I've found you a new friend.

[kid_flash_found]

Please don't volunteer other people. I'd rather he go somewhere he'll be cared about instead of merely tolerated. I'd keep him, but again, he can't be with the girls, and I don't want him in the house even if my cat would love it.

[deemed]

i wouldn't suggest it to them if i thought either would actually accept. they've enough trouble keeping themselves in one piece.

[kid_flash_found]

And you're not interested in a well-socialized bantam?

[deemed]

only for dinner, which i assume you would be opposed to

[kid_flash_found]

He might make three pounds fully grown. Hardly enough for a decent meal. And yes, I'd prefer he not be dinner. That's part of why I don't want him breeding with the girls, either. I have moral objections to knowing my food by name.

A bird.

[deemed]

a bird

[dothelokimotion]

Dare I ask why you thought I needed to make friends with a bird.

[kid_flash_found]

Hey! He's a well-behaved birb.

[dothelokimotion]

That's not the point.

[deemed]

you seem like you could do with a new friend

[dothelokimotion]

I have friends.

. . . At least I'm quite sure I do.

Did you forget my username? :/

Anyways, I'll take it.

[kid_flash_found]

What is your experience with chickens?

[deemed]

do not give him the chicken

[thecoolerloki]

I tended to animals on Asgard.

[kid_flash_found]

To what extent? Was this a daily care thing or a when you felt like it?

[deemed]

you do not require more bird friends

[thecoolerloki]

I'd argue I require many more bird friends and less bird enemies.

[deemed]

unlike your other selves, you're more capable of making friends with actual sentient beings

[ A cock??? He's not letting Thor know how his lips twist in a reluctant smile at the understated jest. ]

i'm taken, but thank you for the suggestion

[deemed]

like i told the boy, you could always do with more friends

[ikols]

i am literally living with multiple people because i have made that many friends who will not leave me alone
if i make any more i will suffocate

[deemed]

i'm sure they will all enjoy the bird's presence

[ he can believe it, though. loki is capable of being very charming when he wants to be ]
