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.

what a great prize to win! I'm in it to WIN!
would love to win this…happy holidays to all
Love this brooder concept.
I just love when you show the gang with their respective breeds. I've still so much to learn and I want to make active decisions about hatching eggs instead of just getting whatever chicks they have at the feed store this year.
This is another wonderful opportunity. Of course I am in it to win it!
