Hi, your move sounds like an adventure, hope you'll keep us posted on how things go!

The best cold weather article I can recall in the Learning Center was written by a US member in Alaska, there may info & tips that are helpful to you: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/cold-weather-poultry-housing-and-care.72010/

Good luck!

Hiya, Amelia, and welcome to BYC!

We raise silkie chickens in Wisconsin and most have an insulated coop with heat to 40F, but several have a hutch in a pen with a flat panel heater in it (cozy coop) as we usually have a 6-month winter with a few weeks of sub-zero temps. We keep their water from freezing either by using the electric nipple buckets, the coops that are heated to 40F, or an aquarium heater in a bucket even works for those outside.

Hi Amelia! We've raised chickens, quails, goats and rabbits and I hope your plans to raise them come to fruition! They are all such nice animals to keep.

There are plenty of other members with a lot of experience here, so any question you have, feel free to find the appropriate forum to post in to find answers!
