Great photos! Love your setup. I too am a new “mother hen” and have 12 girls and 1 rooster. Living in northern MN will be similar to your NE winter. Will have to share some insights / best practices for “winter chicken keeping”
Not sure why my photos were uploaded multiple times… I have a storage area that is 5x8 and the coop is 7x8 while the run is 8x12. I have 1 rooster and 12 pullets that all were born mid May 2022 and I raised them from a few days old.
I am a newbie to chicken keeping and really enjoying my new adventure! So much helpful information on this site.
I am curious if anyone feeds game bird starter crumbles to silkies - This formula has 24% protein.
