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........

Wonderful! That looks pretty peaceful. I did not receive a notification for the tag.
 
Little naked Dotty is holed up in a dog crate in the garage. It is 35 degrees in there. I made her a little roost out of some scrap 2x4 and the crate is half covered by a blanket so I think she is warm enough.
Predictably she did peck me when I picked her up but she was half asleep so it wasn't too bad.
I noticed she is very skinny as well as naked. She has been eating but maybe not as much as usual.
I feel so bad for her.
I am hoping the others will be OK out in the Chicken Palace as they do have all their feathers. It is forecast to go down to 8 degrees F.
When I’ve had skinny, molting chickens, I’ve been known to sneak them a snack on the roost while wearing a headlamp. Just sayin!
 
Now why didn’t I think if that for a roost bar?
I am such an idiot spending time fixing bits of scrap lumber together when I could have done that.
:th
You should have asked! This is not my first rodeo. I've had to bring chickens in the house before.

Of course, I could have offered too. I'm sorry. :oops:
 
I daresay, I think you you might successfully integrate a single hen successfully!
I'm praying that it is so.

I've kind of done this, integrated a single hen, twice before. Once with Elphie and once with Daisy, the greatest hen ever. Those were one to one integrations which is what I created here by isolating the two of them. I sure hope that it holds up.

2 years ago today I buried one of my best friends. I will never forget her. I have have been lucky enough to have some very special chickens over the years and Maleficent was one of the best. Her death to an unknown predator while I was sick will forever rest on my conscience. Rest in peace my friend.
