We enjoyed several days of beautiful snowfalls this week and while the chickens have adjusted to the idea of the white stuff, it’ll be gone soon with 60°F temperatures predicted for this weekend.

Sparky above & his dad, Blaze, below (both Black Copper Marans roosters) keep a respectful distance from one another. There is no question that Blaze remains the Alpha roo and king of the flock.

This was the first of two snowfalls this week. I shoveled the walkway and the flock spent the day walking back and forth between the two coops.

The second storm this week left 5-6 inches of fluffy stuff.
I brought Rachel up to the house for a little photo op for my 8 year old daughter who is honing her third grade photography skills.

Despite a half a foot of snow on the ground, my flock enjoys dust bathing inside the runs. I can’t recommend sand in a covered run any more highly.

Thanks for joining me and have a great week!

I'm in it to win it! This year we have had our flock hunted down from 44 to 29.
