Hi Ray and welcome to BYC- have you onboard. Sorry mate, I live in Kenya and we don't "do" cold weather so I'll leave the advice to other members who are used to brass monkey weather

All the best

Hi Ray

Glad you could join the flock! I get a bit of brass monkey weather here in the UK! My top tip would be a draft free, dry and well ventilated coop. Plenty of clean fresh water and good food. Chickens are remarkably hardy in cold weather if given the right conditions. Here is a lovely article from the learning centre ~https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/winter-chicken-keeping

Wishing you the very best of luck in your new venture and enjoy BYC

I actually have Swedish Flowers and they are the ones that venture out in any climate! (Wisconsin-18 degrees and they are out playing in the snow)! Pick a breed that is hearty! Less maintenance!
