Thank you very much for the warm welcome BYC. My daughter and I just started raising chickens last summer. She has the sweetest chickens I have ever seen and can even hold her rooster on his back cradled in her arms with her nose against his beak without so much as a wiggle or a peck. We started with a small flock of just 10 last year. After a horrible winter with over 40 days with wind chills @ -20 or below and two separate visits from coyotes, we were down to 4 by spring. We are now back up to 8 and I am about to get an order in for a few more chicks before it gets to cold. i have referenced your website often and am hoping with the great advice I've seen here we have the same flock in the spring as we move into another winter.
Thanks again
Kristi
