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 love all the good info you provide. We've had ducks for a couple of years, but we are getting some speckled Sussex and cuckoo maran chicks in a couple of weeks. So my daughter and I have been learning a lot from your site!
COFFEE! I need coffee!
I want to win this for my husband
Thanks for getting out all the good info. I have learned a lot from you!
I love everything you do, pictures are great, information is so helpful. I am fairly new to chickens and have much to learn. Not to mention you do have the bestest giveaways!! I tried hatching 24 eggs and got nothing, I had a used incubator, it would be so nice to have a new one. Did I mention I love your coffee pics every morning, I always share them with my friends. thank you.
