Hello from the sub-arctic of northern Canada

[SubArcticFowl]

Hello all. I am a long-time lurker and finally decided to make an account. As the title states I live in the sub-arctic region of northern Canada (think ice road truckers). There are a few people around here that keep chickens and I've been thinking about it for years. Keeping birds over the winters scare me, but I have one friend that decided to just make bird soup every fall instead of trying to manage them over the winter. That is an option I am considering. Anyway, I would probably post questions once I get a bit more settled. Right now I'm just reviewing the wealth of information on this site.

Welcome Nice to ‘officially’ have you here! You may be able to keep chickens year round.... takes a little planning but with proper housing, cold hardy breeds and proper care you can do it
