We enjoyed several days of beautiful snowfalls this week and while the chickens have adjusted to the idea of the white stuff, it’ll be gone soon with 60°F temperatures predicted for this weekend.
Sparky above & his dad, Blaze, below (both Black Copper Marans roosters) keep a respectful distance from one another. There is no question that Blaze remains the Alpha roo and king of the flock.
This was the first of two snowfalls this week. I shoveled the walkway and the flock spent the day walking back and forth between the two coops.

Despite a half a foot of snow on the ground, my flock enjoys dust bathing inside the runs. I can’t recommend sand in a covered run any more highly.

My chicks were dancing in the winter moonlight!
I would love to win the heater, Merry Christmas chickies!
I really hope I win this brooder! I need one for spring once I get my chicks and I don't want to have to leave a brooder lamp in my room while I'm at work :/ Can't wait to get my new breeding stock!
I love your blog and the great photos!
Dear Santa, I've been a good girl this year.
