Southeast Alaska chicken Newbie

[Nizina]

Hello all,
I consider my self new to chickens. 3 years ago we gave my daughter three mature chickens for Christmas. She lost interest. Now they are mine. I was given 6 backyard mixes. Now I’m hooked. I’m looking forward to eggs and to purchasing multiple pure breads and adding diversity to our local chicken keepers.

I live in Southeast Alaska. Moisture, cold temps and predators will Al be an issue. Looking forward to the challenges and to ask y’all for advice.

Check out the learning center, there’s also state threads - that may be helpful for you with some weather/ environmental issues as well as ‘local’ resources
