I am starting my coop this coming spring and I have the coop plans and everything else researched but now Im trying to decide what breeds would be best for how cold it gets here in MN.
I am only allowed to have 3 chickens in my city and I want to make them count. I would really like a EE bantam or two and a bantam silkie but I am worried that they wont be able to make it through a winter were it can be in single digits for weeks.
I do not plan on having a heat lamp and I am thinking about insulating the coop.
Any opinions on the coop would be appreciated but mostly Im looking for more info on Bantams.
Thanks
