    Just starting out with Chicks already worried about winter

    With the rabbits i had three sets of dishes and two five gallon Pales..... Each time I'd haul out the thawed ones and fill with warm water. Toss frozen into the bucket and bring in to thaw. I did the same for goats this winter. Rotated five gallon pails into the house to thaw.

    Just starting out with Chicks already worried about winter

We were thinking that we won't be running electric to another building so for winter ease of not shoveling, hauling water and lighting would be better in the barn that has electricity.... I'm going to try to talk dh into an addition to it. :rolleyes:doubt it. But i can...

    Heritage breeds

    I just recently brought home 5 straight run Icelandic chicks due to their notoriety for being good foragers and great in tough climates, which Minnesota really can be most of the year. I would love to add in other Heritage breeds and rare breeds that are seemingly being lost.

    Just starting out with Chicks already worried about winter
