Hi Gina! I'm new to Powell (a tad north of Cody). We live in town and will have about 4 chicks for fun and eggs. I've got an idea of the simple brooder I'll create and a lead on a used coop we will pick up this weekend. We're looking forward to our adventure with chicks!

Welcome! I was in Cody twice this past fall, that sure is a pretty part of the state.

Hi @WYChickMom Glad you joined us.

I agree, it is pretty there. Funny story about Powell, back a couple years ago my family was up camping in Buffalo Bill state park at the end of July and one day we decide to visit the Park county fair. So we were talking to one of the local vendors and they asked where we were from. We told them Cheyenne and they looked perplexed and said "You mean to tell me you have Frontier Days going on and you come to the Park county fair?"

I'd rather go to a county fair than Cheyenne Days...that gets nuts!

Love Buffalo Bill State Park, very nice.

It takes a little getting used to, BYC is pretty big. Have you seen the video on the FAQ page? Maybe that might help:

It was 37°F at 6 AM. The wind switched to coming from the north and the temperature plummeted. By 7 AM it was down to 7°F.

It worked its way all the back up to 15°F by midnight. Sometime during the night a Chinook started and it was up to 40°F at 5 AM today.

Hi

I see you got the guineas to leave his tail alone.

That tail is enormous this year. He is almost 3 years old now and it must be close to 5' long. I haven't noticed the guineas bothering it so far. All the poultry has been confined for most of this month. The high today is 12 I think. minus 7 this morning. Looks like we will have below zero weather up here for at least the next week.
