Hello to all! I am new to the forum, but have been a reader of the site for a while, particularly admiring the beautiful coops that so many of you construct! I live in the interior of Alaska (where my temp this morn is only -10, after nearly two weeks of -45!), and I am especially interested in learning from other members living in Alaska and other cold, northern climes.

I've been raising chickens for over four years now with my fiance, who has raised chickens for ten years, but I always feel there is more to learn. We have 15 ladies now: 14 Buff Orpys from 2 to 4 years old, and 1 Barred Rock who we call Grandma as she has survived more than 8 (we've lost count!) Alaska winters and is still going strong.

I look forward to talking chicken with many of you!

I am SO grateful for the break in the cold weather, as I'm sure you are!
 
So nice to see other Alaskans on here! I hope everyone, and their birds, are enjoying these wonderfully warmer temps! We sure needed a break from it...

Yes

Grandma is one tough old bird! She doesn't seem to know how to die, and no sign of frostbite anywhere on her. And she often seems more sprightly and agile than some of the younger ones. Definitely an inspiration for when I enter my older age!

Edited to add: It feels like a heat wave hit today, huh!!! Told the chickies to unpack their bags for Hawaii-had to break it to them gently!!! They didn't quite understand-so I told them maybe next winter!!!
