Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

This Might be the Best Thing I have Ever Seen in My Life

I didn't have any sound so couldn't hear happy cheeps. I hope that is all good - she definitely seems to acknowledge she has a baby!
For my preference she would be a little less obsessed with cleanliness and a little more obsessed with FOOD!
I don't think I will relax until I see them out and eating and drinking. Do please tell us when that happens!

All she's done so far is allow the chick to snuggle, and not rejected her. Need to see more momma activities, also that the chick will eat on its own again, if I understand this correctly.

That is correct but I am taking this as a good sign. Yesterday she was pecking it.

I watched on my phone, couldn't tell if Buffy was able to eat, but over the moon that Phyllis has accepted her!

She has not eaten that I have seen. According to @CrazyChookChookLady we need Phyllis to fully come out of her broodiness before she will do that.

Indeed a good sign. Nighttime introduction the key? Good progress so far! Her broody hormones will have to subside some (I'm guessing as I don't know anything about how the broody trance comes about).

You know I will. I am taking this a bridge at a time.

There was no sound because I went to my old soundless camera as I have been on conference calls for work.

It’s beautiful, Bob!

Regardless of the delay, I will be taking my beloved sister to a very nice steakhouse tonight (She likes that) and it’s both our birthdays this month. Ps. I miss her very much.

Happy birthday to you both. Enjoy your family meal

Such a beautiful thing to see.

Waiting to hear that she has eaten, too. She definitely does not appear to be distressed.
