I just bought some chicks in May. Had problems with them eating the wet shavings, switched to hay bedding. Hey, you're from MN. Me too! Our chickens are Wyandottes and Dominiques. (Rose combs are supposed to hold up to frostbite a little better in these cold winters here.) Your ideas on keeping chickens are worth trying. :)

@chazfensk that's cool, thanks for the info, I might use it in the future :)
How do you keep neighbors dogs off them?

@MrBagginsEsq I start by asking the neighbors nicely to be responsible for their dogs. If they choose not to then the dogs will be shot just like any other pest.

Hey, nice chickens you got there :) was wondering what do you feed them?

@GedasTraceur I feed them cracked corn, but in the summer they eat bugs and vegetation they find in the woods.

@chazfensk So in summer they don't get any supplementary feed, only the stuff nature can provide?

@GedasTraceur Yes, that is pretty much all they eat. I throw them a handful of corn now and then and also some table scraps too. I have filled their feeder from time to time and they often won't touch it. They prefer to find their own food supply in the woods.
