Hello from NY

[Juiced10]

My husband and I have been kicking around the idea of raising chickens for eggs (and bug control)! We haven't actually bought any yet. We are waiting until Spring to start this project but I thought if I started the research now we'd be all set by spring. We have 26 acres (mostly wooded). We live in an area known for it's lake effect snow and I wonder if that is an issue. I think mostly I will just have a ton of questions once I start researching. I'm glad I found this website!

Welcome... I live near Oneida Lake and the effect we get from Lake Ontario doesn't effect our hens. They tend to free range less even though they can if they want.

Hi there from a very windy southwestern Montana, and

. I'm sure learning lots of new tricks so far here in the BYC. I know you'll find all the info you need about whats best for your birds in your area too.

See you around.
