Hi!
So I reeeealy love a couple of feather feet breeds, and I have been reading about how to take care of them in the snow. My yard is very wet and doesn’t drain that well (not big puddles or anything but the ground is usually soft/squishy and slippery unless we go 7-10 days with no rain). Is there anything to worry about with that and feather-footed breeds? What about mites or lice?
Any tips on care in wetter and cooler areas for feather footed/legged chickens would be most appreciated.
I have a variety of chickens at the family farm down the road, but I’ll be applying for a town variance to get 4 on my own small property in the spring and am trying to come up with my chick list now.
Thank you very much!
