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.

Would love an incubator! We are addicted to chickens here in Washington state!
So sorry for your loss, Karin. :(
Really would like one for a 4-H Poultry project. Plus we lost our gimpy girl this morning and would like to replace her this spring with some new chicks.
We would love to win this! Our grandson lives with us and we have chickens. He has been asking to hatch some out. This would be awesome!!!! Love your site!!!
So much fun on the farm with the kiddos! They would absolutely LOVE to experience hatching our own chickies!
