Hello all!

New to chicks but have raised chickens previously. Bought 16 hens and 2 roos a few weeks ago. So far it is going very good. It is exciting to see them grow, most and see the new feathers. I live in tn do hoping for not a bad winter. Excited to have them moved outside soon in their coops. It is really neat to see the different personalities.

Hello, Heather, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Chickens ARE therapeutic!
I'm in NY and I don't heat my coop. I keep it very well ventilated and dry.

Welcome to BYC, a great resource for learning how to raise chickens.
I’m in Tennessee as well and winters aren’t bad and I don’t heat my coops until it gets near zero.
