    That's interesting. This is may second winter. Like the previous year, I started chicks in the early spring, got a few eggs starting in September or October, and they never completely stopped in the winter.

    I've lurked for a couple years, figured I would join... so, hi. Thanks for having me, and thanks to everyone who shares so much solid info. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I'm on my second set of chickens. The spring before last I started 12 chicks of 4 different...
