soon to be small chicken farmer

[jimz1]

My wife and I are going to get started raising chickens as soon as some of this white stuff goes away. We are going thru the chicken breeds just to find out which ones we would like.
Going to start building a coop as soon as most of the snow goes away.Hopefilly it will be soon, but Wis.winters carry on for a while.
We are looking into about 15 or 16 chickens; just layers and maybe a couple roosters.
Thanks for welcoming us into the forum.

I live in MN so I know what you mean about the winter carrying on for a while

You're going to love having chickens!! We started out with 10 last year (we started building the coop before the snow even melted! hehe) and we're adding in even MORE chickens this year!

, you couldn't have found a better place!!

Dominiques, with their small pea combs, do well in cold climates.
(combs are less likely to get frostbite than single combs)
