we have 8 hens. i'm a little concerned about humidity in the coop throughout the winter and they'll have to come out to their run at least during the day. yes, i believe they are all native to poland... i think they are black rocks, barred rock, a polish brown farm mix/hybrid, and sussex. i...

I'm still reading through the topic in the forum on winter advice for a newbie. From everything i've read so far birds are pretty hardy and if you don't give them heat they will acclimatize to the cold. We live in Poland (think climate like Canada), but our city is a bit of a microclimate and...
