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!

These feeders would be fantastic. I think they would thwart my biggest feed wasters…my chickens!

My flock can't wait for the snow to melt away so they can get back to roaming the acreage! The new chicks are growing fast and will soon also want to be out foraging in the grass. Grandpa's feeder would be a great addition here!

I cannot thank you enough for all the help reading your blog has been as I am getting started in the keeping of chickens. This feeder would be ideal for my gang; but, at this time I can not afford the expense. Would love to win it!!
