Hello out there.

[LadyBhugg]

Moved out to the country 3+ years ago and got chicken our first spring. Went with the simplist, hatchery dual breeds that was told were easy to raise and hardy. Also told to expect to loose some. Well, those 12 did fine and the 18 I got last year, and so far so good for the 12 we just picked up. A lot of that was from research, at least half of it always ending up here. I'm fro. Manitoba, Canada so weather can be a challenge.

I think posting on the "Canadians, check in here." thread will provide you withe the best information for your locale. They can tell how how they get their birds through severe weather, what type of coop is best, what breeds can handle the climate. Also best feed stores, and so on.

I do know the Chanticleer breed of chicken originated in Canada to handle the weather extremes. They have very flat combs they are not prone to frostbite like straight combed breeds.

Thank you for joining the BYC flock
