New-ish, but not really

[Kiki]

Honest to God, no idea. I haven't been on since maybe 2018? We lost our flock at the end of 2019 - the had all passed, and we did not start a new one as we had just had our daughter at the time and we weren't sure if it was the disease that you have to wait like 10 years. My husband was starting a new coop this year so we could start a new flock.

Oh ok. Marek's disease is probably what you were thinking. It's best to avoid bringing disease home at all costs because it's almost impossible to get rid of it. Hopefully this round goes better for you.

Just remember that ventilation is a must even in the cold weather.

Welcome back to BYC and chickens. Glad to meet you, and congratulations on your new, more northern home. I have links below to a couple articles on winter chicken keeping.

Just keep in mind how much that cold weather and snow knocks back the bugs! We don't have chiggers up here in Massachusetts. I remind myself of that every time I get snowed in!

1. Winter Chicken Keeping
2. Caring for Chickens in winter
3. Coop ventilation (with excellent links to various coop designs by climate), because, as you will read in the 2 articles, Ventilation is pretty key to winter chickening!

Best wishes from a Kentuckian transplanted to Massachusetts!
