Meet Peanut Butter!!
I cannot wait to pick this sweetheart up in the morning!! Her flock was taken out by the neighbor’s dog so her owner contacted me. Of course, we’ll watch over her and rehabilitate any injuries. ❤️

See those amazing fluff butts? All those feathers have grown in crisscross patterns in order to create little heat pockets and keep these girls warm in the Winter. Isn’t God’s design cool?!

How to keep your flock warm:

👉🏽Draft-free coop - Use your feed sacks, shower curtain liners from Dollar Tree or plastic drop cloths and staple them to line the inside (or wrap the outside) of the coop with them.
👉🏽Extra straw or hay. Straw is warmer because it’s hollow inside and works like little tubes of heat throughout the nest. Cool, huh?
👉🏽Give them some corn. Corn takes longer to digest and keeps them warmer as their bodies work to process it.
👉🏽No heat! If your flock gets dependent on a heated coop and your power goes out, they will die. Heat is also the leading cause of coop fires. 💔
👉🏽God gave them feathers to endure winter. They molted summer feathers and now have what they need. Their feathers have actually grown in a pattern to create heat pockets and keep them warm during this time of year. They have already been acclimating to this weather as the temps have lowered.
👉🏽Your flock will be fine. They will share body heat.

Meet Gandolf and Blue! They are new residents of FeatherTown. ✌️❤️ 🦃

Update on the 2 black Swedish we rescued last week. 💕 They are loving life at FeatherTown and live for their mornings in the pond. Until they are bigger & fully feathered, we cannot let them free range just yet.

We got a call. Momma duck is nowhere to be found and these two have been wandering in the streets for a day and a half. 💔 Welcome to FeatherTown babies!

A predator took 3 of Romeo and Juliet’s babies. They had one left, but their hearts were broken. They were mourning so deeply. They missed their babies!
The kids and I purchased some goslings in hopes to make them happy again.
It worked!
Immediately, the trio welcomed the new goslings. My cup overflows! 🥰
