In a coop with a yard. They dust all the time too. This has just happened in the last 5 days or so.

As to a vehicle, I would pick a Subaru. A Subaru can drive through and out of almost anything. I have scraped almost every spare part off of a Subaru and it still drove perfectly. Because Subarus are so popular up here, it is easy to find a really good mechanic when you need one. I like the older ones better (less computer stuff to mess up), but even the new computer ones are better than anything else I have ever driven. You can get a towing package on a Subaru and a small trailer if you think you will need to do lots of hauling.
A truck really has to be super weighed down in the back to get good stability in the winter. (sand bags, what ever) And I still think that the Subaru just drives better and is much less likely to get stuck.
I got mine from a lady in Palmer.Found an add on Craigslist,If I can find it again I will post it for you.Does anyone in Alaska carry the Golden Comets or would they have to be ordered from outside?

What do you'll think about actually buying grit for your chickens?
I haven't ever done it, my chickens have a large dirt run, and their shed is floored with sand.
But, I was reading on one of these BYC threads, that once everything freezes solid the chickens can't peck any bits of grit off the ground. Over the months of winter, they can't digest food as efficiently, and eat more food. If you give them grit, they can grind and digest their feed better, and so eat less.
It makes sense.....and one small bag is only $4, so maybe I will try it.
Dunno...I kind of thought they got some grit function from the oyster shell...and I do make sure they have that year round.
thoughts???
