Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Me or my house guest, couldn’t trim Jaffar’s spurs. I’m taking him today to my veterinarian who handles my horse Chaco. He has hoof cutting tools that I don’t have. Jaffar’s spurs are really large in diameter. And Jaffar gets a ride there in the Lexus Chicken wagon! The vet has to come 150 miles but so what. That’s 241.4 kilometers away for you Aussie peeps

I'm not saying I haven't considered it. I could have wacked it with a shovel yesterday I got so close.

If, by chance, the hawk happens to fly into your shovel and get a boo-boo, s/he could be placed at the side of the road near a run over squirrel or such. Blunt force trauma is blunt force trauma......

He’s on his way to me, to trim Jaffar’s spurs . And check out the health of my other Chooks! Seems $ money talks!

we left the door open to carry in groceries from the car, apparently the chickens ran right in and sat on the sofa. Cant take them out after that. Heavy guilt trip. Haha

Did you get a photo?

I find it hard to believe there are no hawks. @micstrachan has hawks........

I have no hawks. The eagles eat them

Wouldn't it be great if we could raise a big hawk to guard our chickens

But do the eagles attack chickens? Okay I'm looking for a eagles to adopt that will resolve any worries

It’s a catch 22! Yes eagles eat chickens too

You may remember my friend in Catalonia who looked after feral Fayoumi chickens. He had problems catching them.
He had one of these.

I was wondering if they can be hired in the US or even bought at a reasonable price. They are reasonably easy to use and I wondered if perhaps you could net the hawks and then pas them on to whatever authority deals with these creatures.

I am reaching out to raptor rescue to see if they would take it. The problem for me is that it is illegal for me to even trap them. That would include a net. I love this idea of moving it. Maybe raptor rescue can help me.
