New Chicken Owners

[SR<3Chicks]

We are super excited to learn everything we can about chickens. This is our first experience raising chickens. What works & does not work. Coop ideas for Wisconsin winters (ours made it thru the Polar Vortex), water, heat & protection. Excited about the eggs! What kind of safety issues with chickens? Thirsty to learn all about our new chickens! Thank you everyone!
