squiffs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 One of my silkies has decided to go broody today - the one that isn't laying I've put her in the sin bin in my outhouse with water and food but... I feel terribly guilty doing that to her in this weather, not having her sister to cuddle up to for warmth. With the weather the way it is, will she be okay on her own in the cold? Or should I put her in the cat carrier and bring her indoors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have a silkie who seems to be always broody and is at the moment but she is very good natured about it. Personally I have chosen not to separate her as I think it's too cold. I just remove her from the nest every few hours so she eats and drinks.

I'd love to be able to do that but i leave for work 18 miles away at 6:30am and dobt get home until 7pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Oh that's a shame. It's difficult isn't it as you want to cool her down to break the broodiness but not too much! Hope it works out ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out ok. maybe she'll snap out of it quicker so she won't be on her own for long... wishful thinking maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
