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 & Portia (Serama hen).

Blaze and the ladies.

Thanks for joining me and have a great week!

Thanks again for this great opportunity to win yet again a fabulous prize. I really enjoyed the lessons on how to blow eggs and make ornaments. Our 4-h club is going to do this to decorate and Easter Tree for a fundraiser.

Love the babies! Reminds me that spring is around the corner. Just have to wait for winter to snap the whip.
