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.

Rachel’s (Bantam Cochin Frizzle) expression says it all. We’re all fairly well over winter. Click this image to read more about Bantam Cochin Frizzle chickens.

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.

Gotta love the spirit of the ladies as they make the best of the available foraging opportunities.

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.


Thanks for joining me and have a great week!

I've been following you on Facebook for sometime now and love that there is somebody in this world who loves all things chickens as much as I do (or perhaps…even more!). Your posts are witty, informative, and very share-able. I often post them on my 4H daughter's page, as well. Would love to get an incubator for our 4H group (it's called "Cooped Up in Seattle!"

Wow over 200 hundred comments so far for this incubator, I'm running behind. Lol. I'll keep my fingers (and toes) crossed. I would definitely love to have one of these.
