Awww so cute! She's clearly enjoying the warm sun.

Thanks! Yes, she is a house bird right now, she had prolapse and is all clear now, but I can’t put her out in the coop from house temperatures to freezing cold. Waiting for a warm spell. In the meantime she gets daily outside trips with me. So she loved the sun!

Entry #1 - King Henry the protector

I had a Silkie who spent two years as a House Rooster for much the same reason. By the time he was healthy enough to go out with the others it was dead-cold January and he was a solo youngster. By the time they let him into the pile-up to keep warm, he'd have frozen to death. So, Herman lived inside with us and the cats - he was fun!
