Chicken Care Guide

Remember, not all advice here will fit your situation. Use your own judgement and make decisons based on your unique circumstances. Different breeds, number of chickens owned, size of coop, health, age of birds and where in Ontario, Canada or the world you live will all have different impacts on what is best for you and your flock. This is a general beginner friendly guide to help with Canada-specific issues many chicken owners face and may not be applicable to everyone.
