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!

Going to order for the first time soon, still deciding which to order for northern climates, any suggestions?

Ooo! Another great item that would be perfect in my Duccle breeding house! I saw your post on the Ecoglow. I'm hoping my Brinsea Ecoglow will be able to keep my babies warm instead of the darn bulb heat. Not sure yet about the weather. I do wrap the entire thing in rat wire, secure with wire to a solid surface even after the clamp is wired to the same surface. The attic would have to fall down for the heat lamp to go. LOL.
