Hi! I do not have any chickens yet, I am doing research here at this fabulous site! Specifically right now I am looking for coop information, but I am a librarian so I do tons of research before I do anything. My husband and I are hoping to have everything ready for chickens and possibly waterfowl by next spring. We have two (small) dogs, and I'm going to need information on making sure that everyone gets along. We want to have them free range as much as possible during the day. I also live in a cold winter area so will be needing information on keeping them warm all winter long and would love tips on that.

Glad to be here!
