Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Jaffar is here with me. One hour and then I will bring him back to his ladies.
I enjoy his company too!

Try to understand, this is a lovely guy’s bonding moment.

It’s true that Jaffar is blind in his left eye. I have been testing him all morning. Poor guy misses 2 of 3 while pecking at his feed. I’m contacting the veterinary team to have him checked out. After all, he’s my buddy and my family. Yeah he’s cocorico this morning

Oh poor chap. But he probably does OK with the one eye. Right?

Congratulations! That’s wonderful

The other two eggs were duds?

another chick just came out so now it’s just one egg that need to hatch, I think that will happen tomorrow or on Friday yay

How are you doing with all of the smoke and haze from the fires in Canada? I live across the country in GA and it's been pretty hazy the past few days. I can see the haze across my pond. It's almost covering the trees.

Just worried for you and your horses and chooks. Want y'all to be safe ❤

The limb survived the night. The rescue crew are here and putting on harnesses.
Their estimate of height of tree is 75-90 and of the broken limb just over 3’ in circumference.
Edited to correct size of limb.

Wow having a Hooman standing by the tree give the perspective on its massiveness!

Guys like us do carry war wounds. But we are tough and cannot be stopped!

All safe
These guys are amazing. They basically tie the broken branch to a higher branch and then de-bulk it at the Chicken Palace end before shaking it off to swing on the rope.
Then they go up the tree and tidy up the cut.
Wow!
A few highlights.

With one guy in the roof of the Chicken Palace and another guy on ropes they release the broken branch.

Then the guy starts climbing the ladder and I had to close my eyes.

And the next thing I know he is high up in the tree.

And he whips out his chainsaw which is hanging from his belt and makes a clean cut up close to the trunk.

And then casually climbs down the tree.

Jaffar has fought off dogs, bad humans, aggressive roosters and yes he’s missing a few toes and one eye but he is strong!
I hold two gunshot wounds and several knife wounds (but faired better than the other guys!) just saying!

And I would do it all over again if to save another innocent life!
