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.
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.

I would love to win the EcoBrooder for my next flock of babies! Thanks so much for all your words of wisdom… I have learned something helpful everyday from you, and my chickens are thriving
Happy cold Thursday! Stay warm everybody. :)
2013 was our first attempt at raising chickens. I was always afraid of BIRDS in general. Read all your recommendations. We had the EcoGlow and it worked great. We are now thinking about hatching heritage turkeys. If so will need another EcoGlow, plus an incubator. How did you set up your webcam? My daughters a teacher and we'd like to have the kids watch the hatch and brooder. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love this!!
love your site. read your posts always..
