Hello! I was raised in Traverse City. It's a good place to live, if you enjoy a big town/small city lifestyle. But I moved away several years ago and can't speak for what it's like now. I love all your animals, it sounds like my four footed/feathered family but twice as big!
Welcome to BYC! I'm from Michigan as well! Sounds like you have a very nice variety in your flock! I have Barred Rocks and have found them to be very cold hardy.
