Looking back at my photos from January I can’t believe how nutty it was: Doc Brown came down with a mystery illness that had me looking at her back for several days to determine whether she was still breathing. After days of hand feeding and prayer, she miraculously recovered. Blaze & Chevy got hit with frostbite which put them out of commission and in the basement Mancave where they remain with Doc until temperatures warm up. Mr. Chicken Chick and I had whirlwind weekend at the Northeastern Poultry Congress meeting so many of my amazing peeps, followed days later by a scheduled surgery that put me out of commission for a bit. Finally, we have been getting hammered with frigid temps and snow storms here in New England, including a certified blizzard last week and are now staring down the barrel of another couple of feet of snow tomorrow night! Whew! I’m exhausted just thinking about it all. I’m very much looking forward to a mostly boring February, please!

I would really love the eco glow. After reading so many horror stories about heat lamps, using the heat lamp for my babies keeps me up at night. I check on them every couple of hours to make sure they are all safe.
So glad Doc Brown is feeling better
This post makes me thankful I am a southern gal. I hope you don't get hammered with snow again.
I have my first hatch of the year (and only 3rd ever) in my Brinsea incubator now. We are replenishing our flock with Ameraucanas and could sure use this!!!
Thank you ma'am!
