I LOVE the Finger Lakes area. Been there many times on wine-tasting tours. Lucky you to live in such a gorgeous part of the country!

Yes, it's worse than Facebook. And much more informative.

By "worse" I mean, more addictive.

I totally agree, I haven't been on facebook in moths I'm on here about every day!!
 
We are in Pennsylvania and new to the chicken game as well, finfishing our coop tonight and picking up our chickens Saturday morning. I have also been debating the heating issue. I still am undecided. So glad I found this site and these forums, total wealth of Knowledge. Good luck!!

I hope you will share pics of your coop. Everyone around this area tells me not to heat the coop. I'm thinking as small as my coop is, insulation and a lightbulb will suffice. I'm more concerned about predators. We have everything around here because we are surrounded by woods. I've seen skunks, foxes, raccoons, bears, porcupines, hawks and coyotes. Our plan is to make a closed run out of 1" hardware mesh, bury it and line it w/ cinder blocks. DH has that all planned out. I'll be devastated if I go out and find that something got my chickens. I'll post pics of our run as it is being made.
