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.

I literally JUST found out about this heater last night am going to order it! I would LOVE to win one! After all the work on the coop and brooder I am not willing to risk a heat lamp in there. Thanks for all your information Chicken Chick. Its been pir most visited page since we got our chicks last year.

First of all, your flock is gorgeous. Blaze is a real stunner and I love Kate's white speckles feathers. You're a lucky mama! Thanks for hosting these giveaways. Regardless of who wins, I always learn so much about the products. I find this extraordinarily helpful as I prepare for my chicks… Cheers!
