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 want to win this for my twin boys. My boys, who are almost 11 (on 3/6/14) have very limited verbal ablity due to their autism diagnosis. We bought some "egg laying hens" at our county fair last Sept. They have grown very well. Sammy, who can talk some, asked for an egg and a chick (and these hens are not going to have their eggs fertilized-but we want to do the whole egg to chick experience to reinforce their language). So, we will buy some fertilized eggs and need an incubator. Benji can barely speak, and I thought he… Read more »
I would be a face book hit if I hatched my own chicken eggs. Everyone of my friends on here love to hear about and see pics of my girls.
I would love to win this incubator. I have recently caught the hatching bug and can't afford the incubator that I really want. This one! I have read that it's the best.
Always wanted a Brinsea! I started to bred Olive Eggers and would love to hatch my eggs at home!
HA! Never mind! FOUND IT! (old blind sow picked up an acorn) ;)
