“A hen in China has reportedly shacked up with a dog to help raise its three newborn puppies. Owner Yang, of Anqian village in Fuqing, said the hen moved into the dog’s kennel after it gave birth last month, reports Southeast Express. Since then, the hen refuses to leave the kennel, staying inside all day and only walking out when the dog is nursing its puppies.” w/ photo

That was a very cute article! I found my first broody silkie of the year yesterday, but I took her off the nest because its way too cold to hatch this time of the year.
 
my silkie also decided to go broody here in january. although this is florida we still have cold snaps (its in 30's today} i decided to put her in kennel and put her in my home office. she is quiet and makes very little mess. people are amazed at this little fluff ball sitting there like a stuffed animal. and she is content being there, although i do get a little warning from her if she thinks im getting to close lol.
