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.

I would LOVE to win this – so much safer than my old heavy metal brooder with the heat bar. I don't use it anymore but it worked well for years in my barn. Good luck to all the contestants!
Following. Hope to win and learn stuff from your blogs
This would be an excellent way to start chick-raising season! I hope to get some new babies soon and this would keep them warm and snuggly!
