The upwards escape was when they all trapped me in the barn! I’m glad he went back to his previous owner. Too good a boy to become hamburger at some auction, that’s for sure… even if he did have a taste for chicken feed. I should have repaired the damage to the caravan doorframe from his snacking stunt sooner, but the list of to do’s just keeps on going and you lose track… the barn incident happened a couple more times, turns out you can herd cattle with interesting little things, like a little tin of mints shaking. I don’t have a picture because I blocked all the in-laws on FB before doing a huge social media purge… but he also got a tire stuck around his neck last year, like a giant rubber choker necklace!it took a little doing to pull it back over, because he is so aggressive and all

He was a character!

My attacked hen seems to be doing well today. She also forgave me for poking and prodding much more quickly! It only took her a minute or two of eyeing the 4 live BSFL in my hand before gobbling them up in 3 bites/pecks! (I felt they were just compensation for my intrusions.)

Pics of her just now:

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes and helpful posts!

I figured that Jaffar deserves the honor of being the 80,000th post picture on Fluffy Butt Acres thread. (Should have gone to Bob’s newest lady) ​

No one has a ghost of a chance with Jaffar , he's always ahead of the game

How about just travelling west a little? The weather is much nicer here how many tools can you fit in a horse trailer… I use a 6x12 cargo trailer for our “garage” now, NVM… the over length charges on the ferries are awful, it might be cheaper to fly in. I am building a very large “coop”… about 40x40, might also double as a goat barn… you never know? If I can Jimmy proof the flooring, that is! Morning Sun today

Now about those sort of questionable looking trusses in the foreground… to avoid the obscene amount of taxes on this thread I was thinking I might invite some people into a conversation re: my little human coop project? Anyone with some building experience? Or family with building experience or just some random ideas on construction? I’m so far off the plans at this point… lol current problem is making 33’ trusses fit a 44’ or greater span.

Taxes coming… I’ve got to go encourage and photograph some more chicken cuteness…

I'm going to PM you Kris.

She's a sweety and I love her colours

Yes, they were. I don't have a picture of it, but what I wound up doing in the end is making the roosts different heights. Some birds prefer the edge of the table which makes a 3rd roost, so the other two had to be somewhat offset from the edge. The "front" roost" is now much higher and the "back" roost is in the same spot. Worked out pretty well.

Excellent. Thanks for chiming in and helping!
