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.

Plan on needing one this spring for my hens …..thank you for your great information !!!
I would love to win this! We'll be raising our first ever batch of chicks this spring, and I CAN'T WAIT!! The suspense is killing me. Every day, I'm looking at chick pics, ideas for how to update/improve our coop, learning how to care for chicks, etc, etc. Anything to tide me over until the cute fluffiness is here. :-)
Really love to read what you write I learn a lot. I would love a chance to win the EcoGlo. Thanks for offering it to us.
Just got our chickens last June, want to get a few chicks at Tractor Supply next month, could really use the Eco Glow! Now going to read about frost bites on our poor apostrophe rooster:( Thank so much for all you do for us chicken people??
These brooders are awesome and the chicks love them. Zero losses the first time we used one. Now we want one of our own!
