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!

Thanks for another chance for a Grandpa's Feeder. Question regarding nipple waterers. I've never had a problem with any of my breeds including Polish from as early as a day old to use nipple waters. I have now 3 frizzled bunt babies that would rather go without water than to use one. Have you ever had this come up?

I could really save money with this device….lots and lots of spilling with those big clumsy feet!
