    frost bite on combs

    I just noticed today that a couple of my "chicas" appear to have "freezer burn" on the some of the tips of their combs. We are in Minnesota and a week ago our temps went down to -26f....now I see this. Would putting vaseline on the tips help with the healing? I've never had this happen before...

    locals

    I'm new at this, really just starting to think about getting chickens. Wondering if there are any Twin City, MN / Western WI chicken owners out there. I would love to visit someone and get some basic info/recommendations before starting out. I figure I have the winter to learn and plan & then...

    brand new

    Just starting the process of possibly getting chickens.... doing research, learning what I need, etc. Thinking of starting in the spring, as MN in the fall may not be the best time to start on this new adventure! Any advice and suggestions would be very much appreciated!
