As the bitterly cold weather continues (it was minus 25C when we woke up today and is currently at today's high of minus 8C), Dudley gets by with a little help from his friends--and heaps of straw.
The chickens get the benefit of his body heat, too, so it's quite an example of mutualism. Toad snapped this photo for me, but reports that by the time he readied the camera the chickens had moved from the top of Dudley, anticipating the feed and water. He says that often when he opens the door to the shed he gets to see Dudley snuggled deep into the straw, blanketed by chickens. Hopefully one day soon he can get a photo of that idyllic scene for me.
