    Looking for advice

    I have a heated waterer and have power from the pool nearby. Definitely talking about putting up wind blocks to keep them from any cross winds.

    Hello

    My name is Carla. I decided I would love to have a flock of 12 gurls and researched rather rigorously before reinforcing the dog kennel in the backyard of my new home. I live in Massachusetts and we get tons of snow and winters are pretty vicious at times. I have already purchased a large heated...
