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 NEED this. Would love to win it. (gravittfamilyof5@aol.com) and I do follow you and Brinsea on FB, etc.
I'm happy to find your page! We started last year with 5 hens and 1 rooster (he was a surprise) All different breeds. We're getting more chicks this year (some broody) and look forward to hatching our own in the future. An incubator would be great. Thank you and keep posting!
Oooooh, hopeing, praying, got my fingers crossed!!! Down to three due to a weasel and would love to recoop my coop!!! I've got everything ready and safe now but just need to get some chickens. Loved my ladies and the few I have are missing the groupyness!!!
That mini incubator is perfect for the backyard farmer OR out in the country!
this would be a great teaching tool for myself and my kids!!!
