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 a great addition to my little ladies. I am in the process of setting up a new coop area and considering all the things to put in the area. Any suggestions for my girls. I have the watering system, Electricity for heat and light, it will be all fenced in due to the fact that we have a lot of acreage and the wildlife is crazy but there run is 100' long by 50' wide has some trees in it for shade and coverage from hawks and such but want to leave nothing out to help them… Read more »
Would really love to hatch on my own babies when my girls don't want too!!!
would love to win this. I ordered chicks to be delivered in April, but would love to be able to order hatching eggs later this year. :D
I was just given a chicken coop, 11 hens and 1 rooster. I am having SO much fun with them already!! I am reading everything that I can about chickens and how to keep my flock happy. I am hoping to me able to hatch some eggs this spring. Thanks for the giveaway opportunities!!
My husband said I don't need one of these but he didn't say I couldn't win one. I say I need to win one.
