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?

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

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!

The Snow Trail to nowhere. 
There has been enough togetherness for the flock this winter and they’re looking forward to getting more distance in between them, that is, if the snow ever goes away.
Mr. Chicken Chick helped me dig out around the coops a bit so that the run didn’t flood when the snow melted.
Iris (Olive Egger hen) has been taking posing pointers from Rachel.
Despite the miserable conditions outside, the ladies are producing eggs like champs!
