Our run has a roof and three covered sides so snow isn't a problem, but it's icy on the way to the coop n run, I use pet friendly salt everywhere else, my concern is I may track it into the run. We live in central Massachusetts so lots of snow & ice, this is my first winter as a chicken...

Thanks!, I did check out the advise on the feed bag, but thought individual breeds may have different needs

My girls will be 16weeks next week, one Australorp & two hambergs. When should I start them on laying feed? They are still on chick crumbles, a little off topic but when do I put the nesting box into the coop?thanks!

So I took the plunge and bought threes pullets (4 weeks old ) from a coworker who ordered 100, they are as fun and fascinating Ias I had hoped. She has chickens to sell the eggs at a local framers market to supplement she income, I think of them more as pets. So she ordered " brown egg layers"...
