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.

I just invested in one (Mini Advance) and my first hatch is today. I now see where I need more than one to keep up with my OEG egg production, as 21 days is too long to hold hatching eggs. Fingers crossed!
I would love to win the incubator. I have been wanting to do the life cycle of a chick for my 1st grade class. This incubator would be perfect. Many young people today don't know much about livestock except it comes from the store for us to eat. It would be fun and interesting for the kids to really see where a chicken comes from. Watching a video doesn't really allow students hands on experience like hearing chicks peep in the egg and watching them hatch out of an egg. Winning this incubator would really allow the students to see… Read more »
I love your blog
My husband and I have a flock and sell eggs! We would love one of these incubators!
I always wanted a good incubator especially a Brinsea. Chickens are a great part of my life, I am 63 and have had chickens all my life.
