Hi and welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our happy flock. And yes, you certainly do have an abundance of predators in CT. Surprising. Consider getting cold hardy chickens to be able to deal with the harsh winters.

So happy to have you! I have learned so much here. Used to live in Suffield, but now I’m in Vermont. Happy chickening!

I could write a novel on all my chicken thoughts and suggestions! But generally speaking, I prefer dual-purpose breeds and starting with baby chicks (sexed pullets). And bigger is always better when it comes to coops. I'll leave some links with important information to help keep you on track:

Best wishes in your new adventure!
