Hi guys! As a child I helped with the chicken chores on the farm, but I have had my own backyard flock for almost 3 years now. I have frequented this site for questions, but finally decided to start an account! I'm very excited!

A little about me and my birds!
I'm a stay at home mom for two little boys, two ducks, 3 chickens and a rooster, and a house cat (plus a few adopted "garage" cats.
We live in central WI,so my guess is that I'll have more and more habitat and climate control questions as winter sets in.
I'm interested in incubating/hatching a few of our eggs, and the best tried and true practices for anything chicken/duck related. Thank you for reading!

Howdy there, and welcome to Backyard Chickens! So pleased to have you join the community! Two good spots to learn more about winter and chickens, first, your state thread, there are people there that experience the same weather conditions as you, and I am sure they can share some useful advice for you! Here is a link you can find your state thread in-never mind, redsox beat me to it! Lol. He set you up with great links, so I'll just say hi! :frow
