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!

You are an amazing gal! Thanks for all your great info!
I' m a low budget free range chicken girl who has spent a lot of resourcefulness creating a coop that the ladies are safe in and lots charming as well… There's a lot you can do when you want something bad enough! I love the look/ sounds of these feeders! I spend a lot of time looking at my organic pellets being pushed and knocked out of the feeders by. The ladies! Too cute though! This would be fabulous!
Love my chickens! Love ANYTHING chickens! ! Keep up the good work with your pictures and posts.
Love the articles, thanks…..and I would LOVE to win this feeder!
Just found your blog. My family (all 9 of us) are looking to raise chickens starting this year. Hope to get some useful information from you. Thanks for sharing.
