Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Just getting ready to go out and do chores for the night, the babies seem to be staying near to edges of the heater, I hope it’s not too warm for them. But I guess they will move away or closer to the warmth as they need.

I blocked the one side with a board to block any drafts.

After about a week mine were sleeping with only their butts under the plate.
I don’t know where all these instructions come from that say they need 90 degrees. That has not been my experience at all.

I agree. 90f seems a bit high

Nore mine also, but they are out in the open barn now, and it’s not very warm in there. But they run under the brooder for a snooze when chilly.

I think there is a lot of shifting going on if they are chilly they move to the back.

YES, YES, 1000x YES!!! 1 little silkie hen, in whatever color you choose. Everyone needs a Poppet, or a Marty. Even our dear friend Alex needs to upgrade his Wal-Mart feather dusters to the real thing.

No you have got me wrong. I want YOUR cantankerous little poppet. Her personality sounds adorable and she's a proper little madam
