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.

What? Do I have something on my face? 
The fluffy white stuff was short-lived as torrential rain moved in and made a slushy mess of things.

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.

Rainy eggs.

Blaze and the ladies.

Thanks for joining me and have a great week!

You always have new infor for me to ponder and try. I would love to be able to raise the little ones under the EcoGlow. My life would have one less worry as it is so much safer than the lights I use.

Would you put me in for the contest please? I'm not sure I'm subscribed to your blog anymore, in a frenzy of deleting way too many newletters I may have deleted yours. And I'm not sure how to get back.
