    Greetings from the Frozen Tundra

    Greetings. I'm a new member, but I've lurked here and there for some time now. We are finally going to pull the trigger and get some hens, so I figured I might as well join up. We live within a small city 30 miles north of Green Bay, WI. My mom raised chickens while she was raising me, but...
