    New to egg hatching with an Incubator?

    My 9 year old loves that breed lol im just not sure how they would do in our cold climate... We live in Zone 2 in Canada we can get into -50C but not often, our average winter is -20 to -30 for a few month. What are your thoughts?

    Thats super smart, I like it lol if this becomes a new favorite habit I will do the same, It make sense as you have to up the humidity to 70 if im not mistaken...is that correct? do I also need to up the heat?

    Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    I haven't tried Ameraucana yet, but I wanted to this spring, do you believe the Easter Egger would be better?

    Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    Which breeds loss feet? I will stay clear lol To date, my Barred Rock Rooster + Hen and Orpington rooster + hens got frostbite even though they claim to be hardy. Amazing personally but unfortunately I need to find a better breed for our winters.

    -40 winter Chicken Breed suggestion

    Hi Everyone! What is your favorite cold hardy breed? I live in Northern Canada in Hardiness Zone 2, we get as cold as -45C/-49F. My coop is insulated but not heated. It was built inside my greenhouse so my flock never walks on snow. They get full access to our 20x40 greenhouse in winter because...

    Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me why you decided to remove them from your flock?

    Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    Is that the only breed you have or do you have other breeds that do well in the cold? currently i have orpington and barred rock and even though they claim to be cold hardy they got frostbit this year in -30. So i decided its time to look for other breeds without a single comb
