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 blogs are a welcome site, love the giveaways.
I love your photos.:)
this would be awesome in the next few weeks. Love reading your blog & FB posts. Can't wait for Spring!!!
I love your tips! In my past 'life' as the director of a dayhab for adults with disabilities, we hatched chicks as part of our curriculum, training and life skills. Now that I am home full-time with my daughter, who has developmental disabilities as well as mental health issues, we are back in the homeschool world and looking forward to self-sufficiency as part of our learning. Chickens are one of the options we are exploring and this brooder would be a wonderful start!
I have learned quite a bit from reading all your posts. Dealing with bumblefoot right now and the first place I thought to research it was your blog article. THANKS!
