Cold Weather & Predator Prep: Beginner Farming Tips to Protect Your Flock This Winter (Top 3 Tips You NEED to Know)
Manage episode 509344740 series 3673186
Winter is coming, and if you’re a busy mom or beginner homesteader, I know how overwhelming it can feel to keep your chickens, pigs, and calves safe and healthy. In this episode of Chickens and Farming Made Easy, I’m sharing my top 3 tips for cold-weather chicken care, predator-proofing your backyard flock, and prepping your farm for winter.
I’ll show you how I keep my 300-bird flock, Haggai the Silkie, three pigs, and Meriam the calf thriving through frost, snow, and sneaky predators. You’ll hear about using coop ventilation, bedding strategies, and even farm dogs and roosters to keep your animals safe. Plus, I’ll share faith-filled stories from the Bible — Miriam watching over Moses, Noah preparing for the storm, and Job’s faith through loss — reminding us that homesteading isn’t just about survival, it’s testimony.
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel confident, prepared, and encouraged to tackle cold-weather care, protect your flock, and keep your homestead running smoothly — even when challenges come.
