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.

Your Maran roosters are beautiful. I wish ours would get along. We have to pen them separately or they fight. We just hatched our first set of chicks artificially. We've always used broody hens in the past. A brooder like that would make things a lot easier.
Love your Blog! I am trying to learn all I can about chickens as I want to get some this Spring. I am following your Blog by email and commenting here to enter the Ecoglow brooder contest.. Thanks! :)
