We got pounded by Mother Nature ALL WEEK with snow storm after snow storm. It felt like the snow shovel never left my hands, but at least the temperatures were a little more moderate than they have been this winter, which makes me feel better about the comfort of my flock even though they remain primarily confined to the run.
Blaze (Black Copper Marans rooster and Ally McBeak (Tolbunt Polish Frizzle) remain in the infirmary. Blaze is still recovering from a frostbitten comb while Ally is really just keeping him company at this point. Her pecking injuries have healed fully.
Marilyn Monroe injured her beak somehow and is now missing the tip. It will re-grow just like fingernails do. Read more about beaks, beak injuries and repairing beak injuries here.
Mr. Chicken Chick left one of these huge ornaments outside after taking it down from the coop this winter and it shattered because there was water inside. The ice globe that was inside the ornament made me want to add food coloring to water and make some more. So..I did. And it was fun!

I was feeling bad about our weather with all of thrice, but you poor thing have it and will have it a lot worse and longer. You and yours are in our thoughts. Thank you for making the best and sending all of the beautiful pictures. Keep warm.
My grammy hen would love to eat from a grandpa feeder! Bracing for another snow storm today, UGH!! My poor girls are confined to there run also!
Grandpa's feeder looks like just the ticket! The wild birds eat real good around here.
The expressions you capture of your flock are priceless. I love your Flock Focus Fridays!
Such pretty pictures!
