As you can tell, it has been snowy and cold since the last Flock Focus Friday. The chickens and I have had enough! The weather-dude tells us that it’s going to warm up into the 40s this week, so you know what that means…let the flood gates open! <ugh> I’ve got a plan to make a floating bridge out of pallets, so at least the chickens have the opportunity to stay dry even if they don’t avail themselves of the life-raft. Please enjoy the photos from the week- the color theme is black and white-like it or not, that’s what Mother Nature was serving up!

Marek’s disease in my flock – to cull or not to cull (the whole flock) wait 2 years and start all over. That is the question. I raise critically endangered Nankins. Some articles say I can breed through and create a resistant flock, is that true? Hatches have severely dropped (most die within 1-2 weeks of incubation). I’m still raising the survivors to see if they can lay (and be fertile). Any advice?
Another great incubator give away. Brinsea, 3 cheers.
Thank you for this great opportunity!!
We’d love an incubator, our silkie just hatched our first chicks :)
