This week’s photo essay from Blazing Trails Farm feels dark as most of the week has been snowy, rainy, foggy, grey and overall, blah. Thankfully the temperatures have been above freezing most of the time, which has given the roosters a chance to recover a bit from frostbite. Please enjoy the photos and your weekend!

When it snows, the chickens will come out of the coops if I shovel, only to pace back and forth between coops. Some exercise is better than no exercise I suppose.

What? Do I have something on my face? 
The fluffy white stuff was short-lived as torrential rain moved in and made a slushy mess of things.

Blaze chases Sparky a couple times a day to remind him who is in charge of the backyard.  They’re both Black Copper Marans. Blaze is Sparky’s dad.

Rainy eggs.

Blaze (left) and Sparky (right) maintain a respectful distance from one another.
Thanks for joining me and have a great week!

Awesome FFF even if it was a grey week for you. I no long get the email notification so I have to remember and sometimes it's not on Friday. What's wrong with me?????? Ceaser is become a very handsome guy. …..and I have a soft spot for Sparky. Wished I had one like him.

I have had the Brinsea on my Amazon wishlist for a while. Looks like it is a much safer way to warm those babies. I am wondering what type of chicken is on the far left in this photo (the pretty little gold bantam). We have one named Little Chicken that we received as a "bonus" in an order about five years ago. She is such a sweet girl, but we have never known her breed. Love your blog! Thanks!
