Hey everyone, I just started to get chickens this summer and now it's gotten a little crazy. I LOVE chickens! My mother built a chicken tractor, and since then has moved to Florida the day I picked my chickens up. I had another friend give me his coop since he wants to move... I've accrued 6 hens, a rooster, and 6 ducks (2 drakes)... And I'm picking up another 3 this weekend! I've never had chickens and I'm a little nervous about wintering them here in NY. Any seasoned chicken people out there willing to give some wisdom and advice? TIA
Glad you could join the flock! Congratulations on getting your chicken and duck adventures started It sounds like you have a case of chicken math going on there!! It can creep up on you a,d no chicken keeper is immune from it. You might like to find your state thread and ask in there how other keepers in your area get through and cope with the winter. Here is the where am I where are you section for all the state threads ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you
