Hi, I haven't gotten my chicks yet but have sourced a local hatchery and have narrowed a few breeds down based on what I'm looking for but need a little more help choosing the right breed. I'm not picky about looks but I need them to be dual purpose, hardy ( I live in Canada and it gets cold...

HI, I am new here and just trying to get as much information about raising backyard chickens as I can before actually getting them. After an unusually brutal winter here in Ontario I'm a little nervous they won't be happy with all the snow and cold but I've been reading that they are not as...
