Getting Your Coop Ready for Winter - Battening Down the Chickens — Randy's Chicken Blog

June 02,2024

The basic requirements to keep your chickens happy and healthy during the cold winter months..

Hi! I’m Randy and this is my chicken blog. I write it, edit it, take the pictures, feed the chickens, hug the chickens, etc. I blog because a few years ago, I got these chickens…I had no idea when I got my first chickens that I would become so immersed in all things chicken! They do that to you! So follow along as I explore - chickens, chicken care, chicken behavior, chicken diseases, chicken coops, chicken books, and, well, you get it!

There are a few facts that I hope to get across to anybody who regularly reads my blog:

1. My chickens are really cool.

2. All chickens are really cool.

3. The majority of chickens being raised for meat or egg production, in spite of their inherent coolness, are treated cruelly. You can help make changes by your purchasing habits. Educate yourself! Read labels! Check company websites!

4. If you have the means and desire to keep some chickens, go for it!
