Thank you for the warm reception.
I still need chickens and a coop.
I'm looking for a cold hardy breed. We live in Maine, where we still have a solid 18" base of snow on the ground with 12 more on the way tonight.
We have two and half acres surrounded by woods. On any given day you'll see...
I don't have chickens, yet. I've been kicking around the idea for about three years now, and I think I'll pull the trigger this year.
So, I'll have many questions, such as breeds of chickens, care for chickens, construction of the coop, etc.
