I live in Snohomish Washington. On very cold days it gets down to about 25 degrees. I have been raising chickens on and off for 13 years. My dad and I did it together and when he passed 3 years ago I didn't have the heart to continue. This is my first season raising them again. I love to watch them because they make me laugh. One day I saw some Polish chickens with their wild hairdos and they act a bit differently than standard breeds. So when it came time to populate the coop I decided to try raising all exotics for the first time. They are hysterical. I thought they were smaller than other chickens. They look smaller but they definitely eat and drink just as much. I am having more fun with my Polish babies than I ever have before.
I had indoor chickens, but had a rat infestation so I had to shut it down. I now have an outdoor run and a flock of Polish chickens. This is my first year raising an exotic breed. I love to watch chickens because they make me laugh. I thought what would be more fun than chickens with wild hairdos. I am an amateur chicken farmer compared to most of you and regularly need advice from your years of experience.
