Snow and cold. That’s all I can say about this week. It has gotten old, folks. Blaze is in the basement with a frostbite related comb injury, which means Sparky is taking care of the ladies- a job he rather enjoys. I ordered hatching eggs this week and am looking forward to their arrival. Learn how much fun hatching eggs can be on my Hatch-along with The Chicken Chick series HERE.
Sparky’s holding down the fort for The Big Dawg and even though he has a little frostbite, he seems to be healing more quickly than his dad, Blaze (both Black Copper Marans). Youth is likely to thank for that.
Ally McBeak (Tolbunt Polish Frizzle) found a warmish rock to occupy out of the wind. The flock only got about an hour of free-range time each day this week due to the crazy cold temperatures.
My article on chickens and obesity was published this week in Hobby Farm Home magazine. No matter how many articles I write, I always get a kick out of seeing them in a national publication.

This would be so neat to do again! I haven't done it since I was little. I remember watching every day for any movement, I just knew each day was gonna be the day even though I was told it was too soon!!
I can't begin to tell you how much I'd love to win that incubator! Retired senior here, wanting to get myself a small flock of chickens together this spring. I used to keep chickens 'back in the day' but now being by myself, I need something to occupy my time..chickens, what's not to love? Thanks for letting me enter!
Oh gosh I really want one of these but can't afford it because my chicken habit is so expensive. Oh please pick me :)
<3 the photographs as always! Always learn something from you!
That is the cutest incubator I have ever seen!! =] I want it!
