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.

chicks dig warmth and I love keeping little peeps snuggly :)
Because of your blogs about bumble foot I finally found out what was wrong with my rooster! :)
Thanks!
YAY!!!! More to win! But, besides the good "stuff" there is a plethora of great info and THAT is what this chicken-lady needs. I'm new to backyard poultry and now have the exact page needed when I'm needing questions answered. My sister found you in Facebook and suggested I "like" the page. Sure did and Sure do! Thank you!
I would love a brooder – it would boost my spirits. This week has been grim – lost 17 of my babies to a Fisher cat attack. I still have my old girls, most of whom don't lay anymore. I need to regroup because I need my chickens – they make me happy.
Thanks again for the great post!
