    cool. I figured in nature they would be sorted out to molt before the cold weather kicks in, but today is kinda one of those freak days where winter came early, lol, wasn't sure how they'd react to that! good to know they would be fine :)

    but i'm wondering... say you live in Winnipeg, and your chicken is looking like the white one with it's pink skin showing... it's snowing today in the 'Peg, wouldn't your chicken not do too good in the snow?

    Hi from Foxboro, Ontario! getting annoyed with my city :/

    I had also been in contact with Quinte West Let Me Keep My Chickens (they have a FB page) and they did an awesome job at guiding me and suggesting different routes to achieve my goal. It's too bad they are banned in Belleville though, wish i could help fight it!

    Hi from Foxboro, Ontario! getting annoyed with my city :/

    I just went through my emails and found his name... Greg Pinchin, B.E.S., MCIP, RPP Special Projects Planner Engineering & Development Services Department City of Belleville the problem with the bylaw is that we fall under the old county's rules, not the post amalgamation rules, so nobody...

    Hi from Foxboro, Ontario! getting annoyed with my city :/

    Hey Eden, thanks for your reply! I actually did get a hold of the right person (can't remember his name though). He's the guy in charge of planning and development with the city, and was incredibly helpful! Chickens are allowed in Foxboro as long as your property is not zoned as RR (rural...

    if one was to insulate their coop, what would be the best material to use?

    the vents are positioned under the roof overlap as to minimize drafts, is that good enough? I mean, does the air need to be circulated at all?

    if one was to insulate their coop, what would be the best material to use?

    i was thinking more of a heated pad that would go on the floor. I don't want my birds to freeze. the inside walls are already built (plywood) just looking for what's best to put it between it and the outside walls. Our vents are all up near the roof so I'm assuming having a heating pad won't...

    are porcupines a problem too?

    I only named those ones above because it's all we have in my area that could go for the birds, I'm sure there are plenty more predators out there though! I hear possums are bad for chickens, so glad I don't have to worry about those! Oh wait, could toads be an issue? would the chickens peck at...

    are porcupines a problem too?

    so we know skunks, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, hawks, dogs, cats... will potentially kill a chicken... we have a LOT of porcupines here this year, are they a threat too?

    thinking about raising ducks

    I plan on locking all my birds up at night. Our property is just too big to fence off at the moment (would cost way too much!) I was wondering if a donkey would help with predator control though, or a llama? Someone in my area had posted an add on Kijiji (like craig's list in canada) selling...
