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!

I still live seeing good ole blaze!
I really would LOVE the brooder lamp! When we ordered our first chicks last year I picked out my roosters based on looks rather than looking at the breed's production info… If we let the eggs hatch this year I am afraid we would end up with a bunch of girls that don't lay well. So, we have decided that we need to order a few more boys and re-home the ones we have in order to have a self sustaining flock. Or maybe I'll break down and build a second coop and move the boys over there…. haven't had… Read more »
