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.

Love your posts, I share them with my son who is 8, He and I run the coop around here and he wants our girls to start hatching chicks this year – we would love to be the 'clucky winners' :D
My daughter wants to hatch chicks this spring so it would be great to win this. Always love your posts!
We're just starting our journey and plan to get a flock this spring :) your blog has been a great resource! thanks!
I would love to win this! New baby chicks will arrive in March for me. It has been seven years since I raised babies. Can't wait!
Hi Kathy! Always enjoy reading your blog and facebook posts! Our Muscovy duck, Zippy, is laying and since she lives with a male Muscovy, Claude, we're incubating the eggs. We have 14 as of today and many of them are fertile and showing veining! Would love to put the brooder to good use if we get any ducklings! Fingers crossed here in Wilbraham! Enjoy your day at the Big E!
