Hello and welcome to BYC, You found an Amazing Poultry Community to be a part of with many great knowledgeable members, who are more then willing to jump in and help you along your journey with any questions you may have.
I re-read my post and realized I said "half a dozen chickens, duck, etc" but I meant breed's. We have about 200-300 birds at the moment. I don't know the exact number at time of this writing but know it's between those two numbers
Next im going to be working on the sustainable feed methods and see how well we can try to make them work with the cold.
