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.

You always have great info about chickens and raising them. It is great to read your articles. Thank you!!
Love the snow on the beak pic! haha….I also can't want to start my flock this spring! I bought an incubator last year, but was not able to successfully hatch. Planning on more success this spring!
I truely hope to win this brooder heater i will be adding to my flock again this year(chickens are very addictive) and this would be a great thing for the littles
I would love to win..my chicks coming in February would love it!
I would love to have this to little beauty. I am planning to add to my flock soon as the local breeders start hatching out the breeds I am looking for and it would so much better than a heat lamp….
