Hi Meg, it's nice to have you here! I learned about the challenges of raising chickens in winter when we moved from FL to WY...quite a change.

Thanks for joining us!

Oofta, I bet there was a bit of a learning curve there. Is it better than having the heat and humidity, in your opinion? Thank you for the welcome!

It's just 'different' really. A couple of pros for having a flock here is no problem with humidity and their poops are easier to clean up (sorry lol). But in FL I was able to stay outside with them a lot more...it's just windy here all the time (and cold for 5-6 months). And I never had to invest in a heated waterer in FL!

But the girls and I are doing fine and WY is a pretty nice place to live! Have you always been in MT?
 
No worries, I know all about the poo haha. I would love to spend more time outside with them (and my dogs, goats etc.)! That would be great. Born and raised in MT, but very much dislike winter. You'd think you'd get used to it...:) It starts to really drag this time of year. We've been having a few good warm days, though!

We've actually had some warmer weather lately than some. I'd like to think spring is coming soon, but the past 2 years we've had snow in April so a bit early yet.
