Aww, how really good and confident and good man you are! With all those little baby chicks! I am a worrier, so I would be a nervous wreck, doing this. Always wanted to bring up fluffsters and did look after them for a few weeks on a Welsh farm, as a child, however, they all had me exhausted! And wanted attention, all the time, intense. I never lost one, but was exhausted and they go very jumpy and leggies grew very quickly. So juggling and hand yo eye co ordination, is extremrly imperative! They love baby wotms too after a few days, so it is not for the squeamish of wriggly worm forroging ppl xxxx

I'm a vegetarian and recently I watched a video showing how certain supermarket chains treat the animals they farm (specifically chicks). Or at least how an extension of them treats them very badly. For the sake of profit. Broke my heart. Can't eat eggs anymore. Until I farm them just like this. How much care and consideration; it was a pleasure to watch.

Great comment...now hear me out a bit.... let's look at the reality. Supermarkets don't raise chickens....chicken companies raise chickens and sell to supermarkets. There are a million different videos out there depicting the horror of cruel animal handling practice....these are agenda based documentaries meant to discust us into thinking that all chicken operation are horrible and cruel....I assure you they are not. You should see my video on how a hatchery works and how a commercial chicken house works...it's pretty amazing and not cruel at all. I'm glad ya enjoyed the video...I care deeply for my animals for sure. They live the best life possible with one bad moment...we should all be so blessed

Thanks for the video, perfect timing! We might be getting our first set of child chicks first week in March! Really recognize all your videos, we've got were given learned masses!

Thank you! My family just got baby chicks today and we are very excited to complete setting up our place for the chicks!

I watched many videos and 5 weeks ago got the supplies and 15 chicks. Now I am on my second set of 15 (and 6 turkey). Thank you for your time and videos!

My Dad bought chicks every year at Easter. I took care of the chicks. My Dad built a coop outside that had a cover on it. It was a stationary coop. After they got out there dad cleaned and put new straw out and meal worms and I fed them sratche food and oyster shells when they were able to start laying. I loved that job. My first school skirts were Chicken Feed sacks, they used to use material for the bags of feed.

Did it work out for you

It also helps if you put place a cardboard or two under your food and waterer to avoid food and bedding from getting into them. My grandma and grandpa had a regular brooder house for all the chicks when they first came (in Wisconsin) with a door that opened to the outside where they had put up snow fence to allow the chicks outside when old enough, but too young to join the regular flock. I used large marbles in my waterers to keep the little one from drowning. Have had chickens, guineas, turkeys, ducks, geese and even a 1993 Great Flood Rescue pair of Pheasants from a family in the Mo Bottoms area between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The kids were in 4-H back then and my son had the Grand Champion Market Bird Champion that year! Been involved with the birds since I was 1.5 years old with my Grandma and still have them today 66 years later!

I am new to buying and raising chickens. Thank you for sharing your setup and advice. Very helpful and not too long winded.

I smile whenever a video pops up in my feed. I just found your channel and Everytime YT suggests a past one I haven't seen yet I smile.

Nice video! I hatched out and raised thousands of chicks and I would always lose a few in the brooder. I finally found that a little oxytetracycline in the water does wonders, brings the losses down to zero! They only need that the first couple weeks then they are good to go.

Thanks for the video, perfect timing! We will be getting our first set of baby chicks first week in March! Really appreciate all of your videos, we have learned a lot!

Nicely done. I have always started them in a cardboard box and had much success. You have a very nice set up. Surprised to see you're starting them in February, but now is probably fine where you are. Good luck, my friend!

From what I have learned and heard is, if your birds start to become aggressive to one another, you can simply change to a red light. I know the experiment was done with turkeys, but I would think it would also work for chicks too

Omg! They are super cute. Very nice video. Thank you for being so gentle and being super caring to the baby chicks.

New to keeping chickens. Just got our first chicks yesterday. Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.

Now your getting into an are I am experienced in, raising laying hens. We only bought peeps once and remember getting a mix of males and females. We got less than 10% rosters which we ate after 6 months. We got a roster from a friend and my grandfather gave us an old brood hen so we hatched and raised our own hens after that. After the hens quit laying, they ended up as Sunday diner.

I've been wanting to raise Chickens for 20 years. I love all animals and Chickens are so cute ! I'm moving to Kentucky soon from Myrtle Beach where I can have some property and be able to do what I want on it and I'll also be retired then. Enjoyed your brooder video and just subscribed to your channel. Tks much !

Thank you so much!! It was so helpful my husband and I are so excited to start this new adventure.

Hi! Great video! Very informative. I learned that it’s best to have the brooder plate where one part of it is higher up than the other side, so the chicks can choose either cooler or hotter

Thumbs up on the heat plate. no more firehazards. I like to have the back of my plate lower then the front. The birds can run under the plate easier that way and then move back to where they are comfortable.

Brilliant and generous presentation. You've got a warm brooder and a warm heart. Thank you!

Great video! We are brand new to living on a farm and homesteading and are about to buy our first chickens. This was great to watch, thanks for sharing!!

This is so helpful! Also another tips for people who are thinking of raising chicks, i recommend dipping their beak gently in the water so they know here, and what it is.

Awesome. Mine come first week in April. I’m documenting it on KZread too.

Thanks for taking the time and sharing. Great info and tips. I'll be following along from Australia.

Nice brooder set up and so educative. You could hasten the feeding by sprinkling the feed on a paper placed on the litter for them to pick.
