Chicken Farmers

[Teila]

G’Day from down under Lynn/Buck Welcome!

It is a good thing that others have posted before me 'cos we do not do winter here in Aus

You might find the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a couple in particular:
Topic of the week - Winter chicken keeping
Topic of the Week - Winter Egg Laying

I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Best wishes for a bright and cheerful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We are new to raising chickens. We received our 4 hens in April 2017. They started laying in October and are producing more than we need. We really enjoy them. We live in North Carolina where our days are about 40-50 degrees and nights are 20-30 degrees. Is that too cold for them at night?

Chickens adjust their body temps pretty much. Some people heat the coop but it should actually be close to the outside temp but not exceed it by very much. Of course if it's getting really cold say 0 degrees you may want to add a little heat. It's personal preference.
