I started putting it in a wash cloth with an opening for it's head so it can see out and just carrying it around with me. Today it rode around in my pocket. It's been quiet most of the day since and is eating right now. The wash cloth is in the brooder over a knotted old sock to make a little cave like place for it and it does to inside to sleep so it feels like it has something to cuddle with.
I have a little stuffed chicken that I used last year when I had a lone partridge chick and it cuddled with it constantly. It's now on my windowsill in the kitchen and i've covered my windows with plastic for the winter. I could undo a corner but I know when I do it'll be a pain to keep having to fix it. Once I put that stuff up I leave it alone.
But I do need to get some of those little stuffed animals for when this happens agian. That little bunny I have is solid white. I was hoping I could find something else to use that would work so that white one wouldn't get stained up.
I've got to get the 3 polish and the 5 silkie chicks out of the house tomorrow. It's past time and it certainly isn't too cold outside. I've got 3 sizzle hens inside on vacation. When Bobby gets their pen finished i'll put them outside in it without the rooster. Moe is the only one still naked. Pricilla and Curly have nearly all their feathers back already. Poor Moe is getting pin feathers. I got some of that gamebird feed and some showbird conditoner to make their feathers more vibrant. Hopefully that will give Moe the boost she needs. She sure is ugly naked or nearly naked. But when she is feathered she is beautiful.
If Pricilla and Curly wheren't laying I would put them back with the roo because he would leave them alone but they're not.
Well, I got off topic a bit there. Sorry.
