This was a very good read. I'm new to owning chickens and this had some good information as well as I found it helpful to see I'm doing a lot of what was mentioned, so as a newbie that was nice to see.
I thought you covered all the major concerns about keeping chickens in the cold winter months.
Here in Ohio, I am always looking for good advice on how to keep my chickens safe through the winter, thanks!
