From a chicken photography perspective, this week hasn’t been ideal, but we did see the sun briefly and I took advantage of it whenever possible. In between sub-zero temperatures and temps in the mid 50s, there was flooding, mud and general discontent. We’re all looking forward to the end of winter and brighter days ahead!

The week began with chickens foraging on frozen grass and lots of snow cover.

The middle of the week featured a warm-up and flooding like we’ve never seen before. It was decidedly a drag as I bailed out the basement as well as the chicken runs.

A little more thawing, a little more flooding.
Doc Brown (White Crested Black Polish hen) looks no worse for the wear.

And this is what the chicken run looked like in certain spots after the thaw re-froze.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

We are having a major problem with rodents sneaking in and stealing the feed. I have been drooling over these feeders for months! I already liked them on FB and finally subscribed to your blog. I have been absolutely LOVING your FB posts and I am constantly sending your links to friends just starting out in the backyard chicken adventure.
By the way, my 12 year old daughter is leaning over my shoulder begging for the name of your speckled sussex. We have one named Maren. She is a favorite.
