First broody hen of the yr. Since it is so cold haven't decided yet where to put her. Taron was able to still her eggs yesterday, but today she put up a fight.
Almost all the snow is gone-- think we had about 3 inches.

Donnie you are being a tease! Do we have to wait for all 151 more to hatch before you post your list??

Well, that was fun. NOT. Spent the night with no power and three brooders of babies to keep warm. Ended up filling two liter pop bottles with hot water, covering them with towels and putting them in with the chicks. Seemed to work just fine but it was pretty much a sleepless night with me up checking on them. Glad I didn't have a bator full of eggs too. I can see us sleeping with the eggs to keep them warm.

Our mama cat who takes in all the babies we have no matter what species they are, slept up against the ducks basket beside the floor furnace. It was so sweet.

Hand warmers last about 7 hours and can keep your babies warm. They reach 135 degrees and wrapped in a cloth the babies can cuddle up to the cloth.

That's a great idea. I found some at the farm store a couple of weeks ago on clearance but I didn't buy them. Next time I will just to have on hand.
