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!

This feeder would make my life so much easier! That's for another opportunity. I love your articles on egg-blowing and decorating. I'm very much looking forward to making these! Thanks again.

I am looking forward to setting up our flock again. Our 3 cats and the dog help with the mice population, but a Grandpa's feeder would definitely help keep the winter feed costs down!
