Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

It helps to get more cold-hardy chickens.

We chose to heat our coops to 40F and raise silkies, not as cold-hardy, so it can be done if you so choose.

We have a Coop Forum with a ton of coop articles from our members. Some are complete with building instructions.

If you have questions about building a coop or run, this forum would be a great spot to post them. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/coop-run-design-construction-maintenance.9/

We're glad you're here!

Howdy, and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Happy to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!

Thanks for joining our community!

Thank you for the warm welcome. We currently have 13 chickens at home, but are running into so many towns in the Minneapolis metro/suburbs that do not allow or have a very limit allowance of backyard chickens. It's a little discouraging, but we won't leave our chickens behind so trying to find the right community for us.
