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!

After Doc’s crisis passed, she joined the fellas in an adjacent condo in the basement.

I'm ordering my first baby chicks, to add to my three adopted girls, in about three weeks. Would love to win the brooder!

I have always used a heat lamp and was very nervous every time. But I never knew about any other heater for my chicks. Toll now! And I would love to stop using the heat lamps!!

I would love to start hatching now instead of waiting on a broody. :)
