[AK Chicken Mama]

Hello all! As my name implies, I live in the frigid north of Alaska. I currently own 12 chickens Buffs, Sapphires, and EE's. They're so sweet (except the rooster) and give us delicious eggs. I came to BYC to learn more about chickens and socialize with other chicken-crazy people! Go Chickens!

Welcome! I've heard that many folks that far north don't often overwinter their chickens given the lack of eggs when there isn't light, do you start with a fresh batch of chickens every year or do you have a different strategy?
