Hi. I was invited to your forum by an existing member. (Thank-you) I have 8 hens - 3 buffs, 3 golden links, 1 red star and 1 arachana. They're nice hens - but those golden links are total sweethearts and boy do they love to lay eggs. We have a very pretty little rooster joining our flock at the end of Sept. when I can pick him up. I can't wait. We lost ours a few weeks ago and I sure miss his crowing.
We recently added a pot bellied pig to our family...she wasn't handled very much - but she's coming around. Anyone else here have a pot belly too?
I do have a question. I have never wintered chickens. They have a coop - and of course we can stuff it full of straw - is that enough for these cold northern nights? (BTW I live in South Central MN) Would love some advice on how to winter over my flock.
Thanks Everyone! Looking forward to exchanging information.
