Your chickens will need a place to roost.. and where they can get in out of the snow and wind. They will also need a source of food and un-frozen water.
If you take care of them this winter, you will not have to buy more in the spring. HobbyFarms.com or Backwoodshome.com will have answers for you.

Thank you..
