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.

OMG I would die from the cuteness generated by this if I were to win it!
Me too!
Love your blog~I've learned a lot! Love the pictures! I have a chicken in my bathroom as we speak! LOL Healing from a bullying event! "Thelma" is enjoying her time inside. She's quite the pet. My grandkids love her! She laid her first egg inside! Would love to win one of your giveaways!
Your pics with captions make me laugh–great pick-me-up for the day! Awesome give-away! I've coveted this Brooder for a long time!!!
I cannot wait to get my eggs and incubate some babies. Definitely want to use an EcoGlow. Using a lamp was ok with my "feed store chicks" but I was nervous the whole time and felt like I had little control. Were they too hot? Not warm enough? Too much light? I understand the brooder takes care of all those issues and the babies make their own decisions about how warm they need to be. Am I right?
