Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Stopped by to wish all a Happy New Year!!

Amazing how fast it goes by.
Coop is fine, hope to do some work on it
after I catch up with the business the next few
weeks.
Think I'm at 1 roo, 9 layers & 3 pullets.
pretty much cover the color spectrum of eggs.
2 of the layers are retired, and have earned it.

Not a bad year for the birds. Lost a few to predators.
Have had worse years. No meaties this year. The 2 businesses
buried us. We sold one in late Nov.
What a blessing to be able to enjoy the holidays for the 1st
time in years.

Happy New Year!
I'm new to BYC, and to Chickens in general. We have our first chicks due to arrive at the end of February, and am excited to learn all I can to get them off on the best foot. Funny story, we're also new to Wisconsin as well, having moved to our new home back in August of 2018. So, we clearly like adventures!

Congrats on the move. WI is the best adventure, so much to do in this state.

<3 Thanks so much! We've been having a blast exploring, and there's always something new to discover!

Welcome to the Cheeseheads SPC....what part of the State are you located? Extreme differences from North to South exist here, and from where did you come?
Cold here last night in the single digits....sounds like warmer weather is in the near future for a while.

I'm in Cedarburg, so it's 27 and snowing beautifully my way. <3 We've just moved from Oswego IL, and before that Bloomington In. So, we're clearly Midwesterners ha! Thank you so much for the welcome! <3

Welcome to Wisconsin, and BYC. I am fairly new to chickens as well. My first winter with chickens

Thank you! How's your flock doing in the winter? What kind of birds do you have?

 

[Heinzie]

I have 3 bared rocks. They are doing well, found out they really don't like snow so it's a good thing I don't have any. I can't wait for summer because I am getting a least 2 eggs a day now, I might get a 4 egg day with more daylight. I might be adding a few birds this spring

 

[Steam Powered Chicken]

Cool! What other birds are you thinking about adding? More barred rocks? They're such pretty birds!
