Catastrophe Avoided

[jnicholes]

Hello,

Neighbors tree fell in our chicken coop, damaging the fence. Coop and my house were two feet from being hit. The chickens and my rabbit are not hurt. My neighbor and I used chainsaws to get the tree out.

Pictures are having trouble. I think they are attached.

Wow! Talk about lucky! So happy to see that everyone is safe and sound!

Looks like your chickens were super lucky! Love your rabbit.

Glad everyone is safe! The chickens are probably mad you’re removing the tree. It’d be a new obstacle for them!

Oh, my! Glad there were no injuries! That last pic, lol, all of them looking at the tree. I wonder what was going through their heads?!? "I didn't do it!" "Do they expect us to clean this up?" "Why did they put that there?"...

Chickens thought it was a new roost.

I averted something like that - had to pay about $ 2500. to have Tree Zilla taken down, it was dying from inside out, 45 years old and HUGE

Hello,

The last picture put in my mind what they might have been thinking, "Oh, it fell. Wow. Lets eat the leaves!"

The rabbit, Sophie, was on high alert yesterday, she was pretty scared. She is ok now, back to her old self.

This morning I went out to clean up. They were all clucking loud like "Its the one day anniversary of avoiding certain death!"

They were roosting on parts of the tree, and exploring around it. Some went through branches under the tree to explore. I was like, "Where is number 7?" She popped her head up through all the branches.

Also, yesterday Mrs. Broody, (Yes, I named her that. She has the shortest comb, so I know its her,) and another hen were in the nesting box laying on eggs, completely unconcerned with what happened.

Neighbors are offering to fix the fence, because they are afraid of being sued. I was like, "We, (My family,) are not the kind of people that sue. We would appreciate the help with the fence, though."

Anyway, they are all ok. I am glad.
