Hi there,
Well, I live in Northern Spain, so think Washington State climate. It can be rainy , and the other day I saw frost on the grass. Temps in the summer are about 70 F. Thanks again for all the advice!
Thank you for your advice. I was thinking about doing that. I don't want to find myself with a bunch of chickens and no place to put them :) . Do you know of a good chicken coop plan?
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes, I am researching as I am about to get a little flock soon
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
0, hoping for at least 4 in the next few months
(3) What breeds do you have?
None, that is one of the things I am...
