Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

By the way,….. you won’t be finding Jaffar on the chick-fil-a menu anytime soon. (Sorry KFC but you don’t get him either)!!!

 

[BY Bob]

Let me try to explain about Jaffar my rooster.
1. Without any feathers, he’d be about the same size of a large grapefruit.
2. He always seems to understand what I tell him.
3. The family I got him from, must have loved him a lot (he responds to that kind of attention.
4. He does prefer to be near me as much as possible.
He’s very dedicated to his ladies (and will fight to the death to protect them) he has survived dog attacks as proof of that.
5. If given a bath, he quietly enjoys the soft feeling of soaking in the tub (but doesn’t like the noise of a hair dryer much.
6. He responds positively to any stimulus that I show interest in. (Music especially)
7. Some crazy reason, he loves WW2 Marine corps movies and (Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho) and will stare at the screen to watch them.
8. It never fails, that he goes hungry, because he’s always tidbitting his food to his ladies. (I bring him inside and feed him without distraction)
9. He’s very attentive when he feels that it’s time to go back out to see his ladies. (And tells me so)
10. He’s a troublemaker, but that’s just his personality. (I wouldn’t want it any other way)

I am explaining all of this, because if he was to pass away, I would be too devastated to even share my feelings with you good people.
I have so much more to say about Jaffar, but I have bored you all, enough already. Thanks for reading.

He is a special dude.

He is a special dude.

Agreed!

It’s Wednesday: joke of the day.
A Cessna pilot with 3 passengers was flying over NY. And had to crash in a cemetery. Green lawn cemetery near Brooklyn. The authorities have been digging through the crash, and for two days, they have been digging up bodies everywhere. So far 200 bodies have been recovered, but they are still digging throughout the night! I thought that was hilarious!

I forgot to mention that the bill was dropped! So for now, the feral are safe!!!! I'll try sharing more photos of the feral chickens in the future - they are all such beautiful birds

I'm so happy to hear this. It's not always easy to preserve wildlife and human cohabitation, but in this case I really couldn't see what damage the feral chickens were doing!

Flu tax. And a twosome...

I love this picture, the expressions on their faces are very significant of their personnality. Can you remind me how old they are now ? Unlike @Ponypoor I'm not good with numbers !

I'm not bored, I loved reading this. He sounds much nicer than my adult rooster (that I also love , even when he's a pain). You know when they say some pets and owners grow similarities ? I think you two really found each other.

Our heads will always turn the same way!View attachment 3259225View attachment 3259226

Perfect twofer!

cannot believe Chipie is smaller than Piou-piou.

Ok, maybe not smaller, but same size. This morning they had one of these moments when two chickens stay still very close for a few minutes, seems like one showing something to the other and asserting dominance. My rooster Théo does it with the hens, but sometimes the hens do it together too. You can see the size comparison.

Hubby woke me up at 7 to do the chickie chore.....which means I just got up and fed them lol. They were not happy I was late. I slept 10 hours!

I can't wait for chicky lap time but I'm gonna have to wait until some pain goes away my right side and knee hurts and I'll have to use the diclofenac sodium cream. That stuff is wonderful. Last night before bed Hades was yelling pretty loud, of course I knew something was up and I went to check on him. He got out of the pen!. So I put him back in and went and cut a giant cardboard wall to replace the smaller one.

Lark popped her head out to say Good afternoon the other day

And Kren admired her but couldn't get to her.

I hope they will be okay! That looks so painful.

Thank you and thanks everyone for the well wishes. Here's an update on Maya. She looked much better when I left for work. We let her sleep in the dining room. She raised her head and smiled and wagged her tail when I spoke to her. The swelling has gone down a lot. They both were eating good last night. Lobo was back to his rambunctious ways last night so we put him back with his buddies. We'll continue with the antibiotics for a few days but a full recovery is very likely.
