    How do YOU winterize your coop?

    I have a question, totally off this topic, but I don't know where to put it. I'm new to this and not real tech savvy, lol. Can you feed chickens RAW chicken hearts/gizzards and other pieces? or any kinds of raw meat? Also, this is my first winter with my 5 laying hens and 1 rooster. What is...

    I was looking up if you can feed chickens nuts and came across this site. I don't ever remember it in my research on chickens. Lots to explore here! Love the Gallery of pics of chickens so I can try to figure out what kind these are of my daughters that I have come to take care of, myself...
