Christmas week here at Blazing Trails Farm was a challenge with on again, off again snow alternating with rain and sunshine. We are expecting eggs to hatch this coming week and are looking forward to sharing that experience with you as it happens, live!

The Olive Egger in the nest box on the right has been broody for nearly two weeks. When the eggs in the incubator hatch, I’ll slip them underneath her to raise.
Christmas morning breakfast consisted of steel cut and regular oatmeal with blueberries, apples and bananas. I put out several loaf pans so that there was no bickering and nobody left out.

I'd love to win and treat my chickens or something special. Granthamkk at yahoo dot com
I have to believe my girls are very happy. This is their 2nd winter laying eggs. I read the first year is pretty normal but I thought for sure the 2nd year they would stop. Not complaining but almost each day they are laying eggs. Perhaps it is the scrambled eggs/warm water I give them in the freezing mornings and the black oil sunflower seeds I offer right before bed. Not too much but just enough to get their digestion going at bed time.
The ladies love treats :)
The pickings in the garden are getting really slim. My girls could use some treats for a change of pace.
My chicks love these! I told them to cross there toes! lol
