Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Well it's official my silkie is broody and her sister following... The two of them snuggle together in the nest box which I guess is good for them with this frigid weather lately.

Here is Dotty in her cave and a daytime picture of the little mini-roost I made for her yesterday. Not beautiful but functional. View attachment 2973706View attachment 2973707 I really hope she isn’t too stressed being on her own. She wasn’t roosting anywhere near anybody else but of course she could see and hear them.

Can you put someone in with her? So they can share warmth like my two silkies do?

I think that might be worse. After all they have decided to sleep separately for a reason (I have no idea what). She will be plenty warm enough in the garage. I have a small heater in there to stop the pipes freezing. Looks like it keeps the top of her dog crate at about 38F. Now I am worrying about her adjustment down to 10F in the morning!

Can It Possibly be True? Am I Really Seeing This?!

After everything the tribe here at FBA has been through over the past several months I have been so afraid that this integration of Betty and Phyllis would go sideways on us. So much so I almost turned her down when Betty was offered to me. Well guess what I just saw on the camera........

Yes!!! I'm so happy for Phyllis!!

And how special are Betty's pink legs? These two are such fashionistas.

No such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing as my husband keeps telling me!
Not like I wear inappropriate clothing by the way but he wasn’t best impressed when I wore my labutins to the westonbirt arboretum he could of told me it was a forest!
