Hello,
I've decided that this year I will keep my egg-laying flock over the winter. From my experience, I've only raised chickens during the winter a few times...so I don't have a lot of experience in this area of backyard chickens. Due to the EXTREME winter we had in Michigan last year I want to be as prepared as possible.
What are some typical ways you prepare for winter (e.g., heated waterer, etc.)?
