Hi all i have 4 chickens and live a little out side Chicago, starting to get chilly here with highs of 50s..and the other mourning when i went out to my chickens I see a lot of my black astrolorp feathers stunned about the chicken run... i only have 1 black chicken the rest are tan in brown...
I'm new to chickens , and this will be mines first winter here out side Chicago.. the oldest one was laying for almost two months till the temp here has dropped to 50ish during the day and 30s at night, well she stopped laying egg's since this cold set in...and am wondering when she will return...
Having only 2 chickens i began leveling an area next to my shed (my yard is a small hill) i put some timbers in to hold the ground and back filled with some old clay and dirt from all the post hole's we dug for a front deck, I know we have a fox as well Raccoons in the area, so was thinking...
I live in the S/W Burbs of Chicago, be nice to know if fellow chicken raisers are near...I have learned a lot here in short time, but sure have lots more to learn....
thanks Bob...
