The flock made the best of it this week as temperatures rose just enough to cause flooding, then plummeted to record-breaking lows. Someone tell me spring is just around the corner?

Snow chickens
Dust bathing chickens

There was flooding outside the coop, but the sand was mighty fine for dust bathing!

Partridge Cochin hen getting a bath

Not everyone had the luxury of a dust bath, however. Bertha, our new Partridge Cochin who is still in quarantine, needed a good ol’ water bath. She doesn’t look like she enjoyed it, but trust me, she did!

Chickens in the snow.

Digging out the snow around the chicken coop.
Mr. Chicken Chick helped me dig out around the coops a bit so that the run didn’t flood when the snow melted.

Basket of Eggs
Despite the miserable conditions outside, the ladies are producing eggs like champs!

There's only one thing I hate more than lying...DECAF, which is water lying about being coffee.
If it requires pants or a bra, it's not happening today. (Tolbunt Polish Frizzle hen_------)
Take it again- I blinked. (Tolbunt Polish Frizzle hen)

Thoroughly enjoy the photos and appreciate the giveaways. I entered and won back in January and sent my address via email, but wanted to let you know I never received it.

I love these pictures! The vintage basket would be very helpful when the grandkids collect the eggs.
