How nice that you are taking them in. You can find just about any thing you need to know here. Check out the coop and run threads, in the desert you may want an open coop, and an enclosed run, for predator protection.

Sorry for the late reply! Our internet has been slim to none lately, so I haven’t been able to get on here until now. I absolutely love and appreciate everyone’s responses! Including the welcoming ones . You’re all so kind. I just went out and took these photos of them.. the red is very skiddish and doesn’t like when I’m near, the buff is starting to get used to me, and the barred is definitely the friendliest. Thanks for your guys’ help!! I will check out the other sites some of you have lost d

Looks to me like all three are pullets. And they’re beautiful! What’s your coop/run set up like?

Thank you for the advice! We are in the “desert” of Wyoming, just bordering the Windriver Mountains, it gets extremely cold during the winter (-37 last year), and almost never above 85 in the summer. I’m a little stressed about what will be best for them for the winter, I’m guessing heat lamp(s) and good insulation will be key? Please correct me if I’m wrong. We get a ton of snow so I assume no flat roofs; and the air here can be very dry. Any advice you or someone else might have would be greatly appreciated!
