This week’s photo essay from Blazing Trails Farm feels dark as most of the week has been snowy, rainy, foggy, grey and overall, blah. Thankfully the temperatures have been above freezing most of the time, which has given the roosters a chance to recover a bit from frostbite. Please enjoy the photos and your weekend!
When it snows, the chickens will come out of the coops if I shovel, only to pace back and forth between coops. Some exercise is better than no exercise I suppose.
Blaze chases Sparky a couple times a day to remind him who is in charge of the backyard. They’re both Black Copper Marans. Blaze is Sparky’s dad.

Love the pics- I've added some new "must have" chicks to my list for Spring! Serrama anyone? :)
Always love your blog. I've passed it on to a few other chicken keepers in my area. And now I've kind of got my boyfriend in on the chicken wagon. He offered to build me a bigger coop so I can add 10 more hens to my 10 flock. Can't wait for April 1st to place my chick order. Highly considering the brinsea ecoglow broader for them when the arrive. I'll keep entering the contests until then! Thank you for all your advice, knowledge and picture shares!
Always love to see your pictures and look forward to reading your stories. Another great give a way! I could sure use the brooder when the little ones come this spring!
Love your pics and info! Your so chicken savvy! Lol
I have stumbled across your web page! My family and I have just bought 7 acres to raise chickens we are starting this Spring, and we are trying to learn all that we can. Thanks for having this opportunity to get started on the right foot!
