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 have 2 hens and 1 rooster, would love to hatch some babies this spring. My husband used an incubator, but I had to leave them at his mother's house or be accused of stealing them..anyway, the only other option I have is to let them hatch on their own and my one year old hens are not sitting on them…they have also stopped laying at all this winter..

Getting ready for spring chicks and keets ?????!!!! I would love to try this brooder! Brinsea has such great reviews for thier products. A lot of great reviews for ease of use. If it were in the cards, I would already have a Brinsea brooder, incubator, and ovascope lol!
