Hi, all,
I live in colorado, just north of Colorado and I am wanting to adopt 2-3 chickens for my backyard. I haven't checked with the city ordinance yet but that is my first task on Monday. But I am wondering if there are better breeds that are tolerant to the cold and snow. I am a veterinary technician and want to do all the research I need to before going into this and even though I have seen countless breeds all over the state I am trying to get the best chickens that can tolerate our weather. Yesterday, May 11 2012, we had snow so it is wachy weather out here. I will want to get them soon, if the town allows them, so they are accustomed to their surroundings before the cold weather comes.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
