I live in a city so I can't have chickens right now plus I live alone, and I'm disabled, but in the Kingdom of God I will ask the Lord to give me 10,000 of them! God Bless! Excellent video!

Would also like to add to the best part of having chickens. Is the sense of natural therapy and doing something that’s worth doing. I have a sign in my yard that says “Slow Down so you can see Gods Blessings” 🙏🏼 I love having the Rarest & Most Beautiful Chickens in my area I’m truly Blessed & Grateful 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for the encouraging comment!!

This will make anyone want to have chickens. Yours look so happy!

WITH ALL THE BREEDS IVE HAD OVER 25 YEARS, i think Welsummers and Ameraucanas have been the most mellow and hen compatible esp. Welsummers. Cackle does have them but the best ive seen are from DEER RUN FARM in New England. they also sell Ameraucanas, Delaweres, Marans and Olive Eggers that are Ameraucana x Welsummers. Im not affiliated or get kick backs. i just like helping people and chickens make a good match. i you want to keep your laying hens but want some new chicks. Welsummers roosters x RIR or Rocks make great layers and will darken your eggs some for more variety . i think you had the best start to end video ive seen!!! I can tell you have been around the block a few times!!

Check your local farms for chicks. Support your local farmers❤. Another option❤

So good! We've got 8 ladies, and we love them to pieces! We don't have the space for a mobile coop, but I wish we did! It's hard to keep up with all the mess, especially when it rains because, yes, the soil around the coop gets really gross! We lay down straw or pine shavings when it gets really bad, but it'd be nice to just move them around! Thanks for providing the world with such a complete video on taking care of chickens! I'm sure that MANY will find it very helpful! God bless! ❤

Thank you so much!! Yep that’s always my suggestion with a stationary coop is to add lots of carbon. Wood chip and more wood chips

I bought a Great Pyrenees end of predators . I've seen her watch hawks n such flying over .

Thanks for the advice and knowledge wife and I just got baby chics and learning so much about chicken thought I was country already but now we really Gone country ty

Compost is the secret , chickens and compost.

I want maybe half a dozen laying hens and about the same number of Silver Seabright Bantams. I love chickens and the bantams are little clucking eye candy.

Right. Rhode Island, red and barred rock. There’s a reason why they are so popular. Chickens are easy to raise and beginners especially don’t need to make it more complicated than it should be.

In my experience Red birds such as RiR, Highlanders n such which all basically are an off breed of 1 red breed are hardy yes but often catch some type of illness & may get over it but not b4 it spreads killing your expensive birds that normally wouldn’t even get sick unless you chose these type of breeds that introduce it into your flock/family. And please don’t take anything. I’m saying the wrong way I’m not bashing this KZreadr or his channel or anything that he is saying I’m just having to lay down some facts. My neighbor is an avian vet and has been for 15 years my aunt has raised chickens roughly for 75 years. I’ve seen thousands and thousands of birds my cousin in Kentucky has 9000 red hens gets eggs and sells eggs to Walmart. Has to pass all kinds of federal inspections weekly. And you can’t even enter the building without a hazmat suit on. & only the few employees Sounds crazy but all true. And if you would like to have someone in your family attacked by a rooster by all means get you some RiRs nine out of 10 will try to eat you. lol not really but ya they are not a nice breed like Orpingtons

@@baddogcustoms7496 I have had Rhode Island reds for 10 years. I’ve never been attacked, but I was attacked repeatedly relentlessly by buff Orpington roosters . Those were the worst roosters I’ve ever had.

Especially about the fact that we can enjoy the fruit of our labour with free eggs 😂

I mixed cooking oil n my feed to compensate pasty butt . First was a good bit then backed it off as they grew .

Comment number 2: I'm having trouble understanding how chickens can lay eggs without a rooster! An unfertilized egg is ingenious! The Lord once again at his handy work.

I loved your commentary. I was hoping to hear about what you can do with their waste/poop droppings/used straw. This could be a useful tip to add for new chicken owners. I will now search more sites. But I did love the knowledge you shared in your video. Thank you :-)

Thanks! Well because we raise them on pasture all their manure fertilizes the pasture. But I do have a new system to where I make compost with their manure. Here is that video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5uJlsOEZKSzY9Y.htmlsi=H8hzI-QVZ7qBKNh7

I would love to raise a Rooster from hatching egg. however, I live in an HOA and I'm already not supposed to have them so my 6 ladies behind a 6 fence is good enough for me now. Thanks for the video.

Great video. But your $1000 budget seems low if you're including that $500+ fence setup and whatever that trailer and coop cost to put together.

I agree. It can be done for $1000 but definitely need more if you want to make it a nice setup

Brooder question… You said your brooder can hold 50-100 chicks, how long do you keep 50-100 chicks in that brooder before you move them out due to their fast growth?

Great question! I move chicks to outside as soon as possible. Generally at 3 weeks

@@tannerfarmstead Follow up question…. lol Once you move them out at approximately 3-weeks old, what kind of setup do have? Is it something that can still keep them out of the weather from wind and rain? I have always been told you don’t move chicks out to the weather until they are fully feathered around 6-7 weeks old.

i use pupoy pads in my brooder. it's a bin with padding. any concerns?
