New to chickens

[Paula n Mike 121]

Hello, we are a northern Ontario couple who live in the bush quite a ways from the city and are going to be starting to raise chickens this year. Once the snow is all gone we will be starting to build a coop and fenced in area for our future chickens. We have many questions so I will be on here frequently in the near future. I have online courses to complete first before doing more research on this future endeavor. We look forward to learning.

Welcome to BYC! Look into breeds with short combs and wattles so you're not dealing with frostbite!
