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!

I would love to win a feeder! We seem to have a rat problem here…. My cats caught a rat that was 13.5 inches long with the tail! They must be eating well!

Done- Grandpas Feeders sound like the thing to have!

As grateful as I would be to receive this feeder, let me just tell you how much I appreciate everything you're doing with this blog. You have educated me beyond belief. I used to not even want to deal with the chickens we had because I didn't know how to properly care for one. But now, we have 8 beautiful Rhode Island Red ladies that will be taken care of with the utmost integrity.

Thank you again, Kathy. You are a fantastic person!
