Hello Everyone...My name is Amy and I am new to Chickens...We just got them in June...And I love them...Never thought I would get so attached to them. I am a little upset now though, we got 4 chickens in June, one for each daughter and then one for my husband and I to share. Well, they are all...

Carrie, Just my 2 cents..I would wait for the spring...We got our babies in June and kept them inside for 8 weeks...I couldn't imagine putting them outside in their coop in the middle of winter..I am already worrying about them in the cold and it hasn't been below 30 yet... About the breeds, I...
