... He's now THE Daddy!!!
after a few false starts (silkie hens are seriously bad mothers... there have been 2 or 3 chicks hatch this year, none had survived the first day) I went into work yesterday morning to discover 11 silkie chicks in their coop!!!
Probably doesn't feel like a time of celebration & congratulation to Buttercup.. we moved the hens & the babies to the greenhouse where it was warmer & safer, so a startled Buttercup spent his first ever night alone in the big coop last night
