I just wanted to thank you, until recently I’ve been worried about my future and I finally know what I’m gonna do, because you’re videos have helped me make a plan and find a passion for my life, instead of working my whole life and being a corporate slave I’ve decided I’m going to work hard and buy a few acres of land and live a peaceful life doing what I love, thanks for the inspiration. Also I love that you call them chicky babies.

Becky, you gave me such a treat. I haven't been in a farming store since we moved to Japan with the military 2 years ago. I'm trying to be patient until we find our homestead, but I want to go shopping now 😂! I loved this video ❤️.

Save money on oyster shells by buying them in a 50# bag. I also buy the food grade/ animal grade diatomasious earth in 50# bags at the Farm Store. Store it in 3 5gallon buckets. Use for de-worming.

It's my first time raising chicks and I gotta say, I learn something new every single time I watch one of your videos... I didnt know you could buy bags of mealworms... Seems like a great source of protein for the chickens. Anyways, keep up the great work.

Gosh, I LOVE Tractor Supply~ LOL ~ How fun~!

Awesome, chickens are so much fun. I'm glad I can help☀️❤️☀️

I have learned a lot from your videos, thank you! I am going to start my flock this fall and would like to know if I could keep 5 hens comfortably in a 4'x8'x2' chicken tractor with a open bottom coop of 4'x4'x2' on top of it. I will be moving this coop in the mourning before I go to work and when I get back they will be free ranging in the yard. I am in Gainesville Georgia so I don't think that the chickens will get cold in the winter. If the temp falls I can move them into the garage overnight and move them back out in the mourning. Just wanted your thoughts and to thank you for your efforts. Have a great day Becky!!

Hi Becky . your videos are awesome. Could you pls make a video on the differences of raising store bought chicky babies vs peeps hatched on the farm. Thanks, look forward to your wisdom.

Can’t wait will be getting my chicks in March still building my coop and run since no electric set up in coop will have my 8 chicks set up in house to keep them warm with heat lamp till I can move the setup to coup

Totally FUN video.. You are a great professor of chickenology! Huh? What a great fun romp through TSC! I was there today in my town and sure wish you were there making a video as I'd of followed you around and bought the same things... LOVE the Big RED shovel, now I gotta have one... lol Great info, spot on.. and now I"m getting my coop ready for next winter here in the Upper, Lower Michigan. Everything I need to know and learn, is on your channel.. going to buy a ebook too... Thanks Becky! Wonderful stuff.

Awesome video👍😉I'm heading out there 😉thanks I'm excited too😉

I usually go to a pet store that carries chicken supplies but after seeing the drastic difference in products (and the prices) I’ll start heading to the TSC near me :P and I love how they have everything in bulk so I’ll stop running to the store every other week. I’m considering getting new chicks for our coop this year since we only have three hens and a rooster

I bought those pillows and some other things lol I love all things chickens :)

Hi Becky! I am a new subscriber. I love your videos. I have a question regarding my chickens. My boys recently each got a baby chick. We also have 4 adult hens. The babies are now grown and in the pullet stage. One of the chickens is a Golden Buff and the other is a Barnevelder.(sp?). The Barnevelder is extremely attached to the Golden Buff. She constantly tries to hide under the GB belly. When my boys are with the chickens and each holding theirs, the Barnevelder starts chirping very LOUD. She sounds like she is being killed. Then she will usually start biting at her talons. Is there a way to get her to become calmer? I feel one of these days, she is going to get so stressed, she is going to have a heart attack. What can we do? Thank you! Tina

I didn't know of chick days because of your videos now I know and I spend my time buying at tractor supply 👍

I love watching your videos and have learned so much from you about chickens. My chickens are much happier now. Ive even decided to grow BSF larva for my hens. Love the portapods but am looking for something temporary for now. I also saw today that chick days were coming back on the 22nd and im looking forward to more babies. I started with a rooster. And felt he was lonely so i added 4 hens. Well flash foward to after i find your channel and bam im 22 chickens deep lol looking forward to what i get from my tractor supply. Im more excited this time than the first time.

Actually there is an advantage of getting a tall fence for your chicken run and that's because it makes cleaning a lot easier. If you get a really short one you're going to be crunching down and bending over a lot in there when you're shoveling etc. If you have a tall one you can do it a lot more comfortably.

Babies do not need calcium. Only when they are laying eggs or close to laying. Feeding calcium to chicks will harm their health

I just got my first 6 baby chick's from tractor supply and it's only been a week and I'm already thinking about going back and getting 10 or 14 more I have a small coop for baby chick's and then I'm turning a old run down shed into a big chicken coop so i can keep them separated. And I'm glad I got non medicated food because I thought about getting the medicated but decided not to. And my baby chick's love them meal worms they just go crazy for them..

I love listening to whatever Becky has to share. My dream is to buy a country home and have chickens, and Becky is preparing me for when I will realize my dream. Thank you, Becky

The Tractor Supply I went to in Acworth Ga was the most unfriendly store I've been in. They never ask you if you need help finding products, only certain kinds of people.

Can you give a rough estimate of how much it costs to keep chickens (per month)? I'd love to have some eventually. Thank you for your awesome channel!

Hey I was wonder if you could get chicks around 2 months old at tractor supplies or are they all really young.

@strangeart8362

5 жыл бұрын

Every time I've been there they've been very young. Normally when the chicks start feathering out (developing actual feathers) the stores typically clearance them out, which I way before they are 2 months old.

You can get egg cartons can be bought online for cheaper too and instead of buying mill warms grow them. Or buy bulk feed. It’s all the same feed.

QUESTION...Do you by chance know the disage for Corid to a gallon of water for chickens for coccidosis? Or, better yet what do you use. No vets around here appear to treat chickens. Thank you. I am 66 and this is the first batch of meat birds I have done. My egg layers are next!

We were using a heat lamp about a month ago, it must have been damaged somehow, while using it we heard a big pop and realized the bulb had a hole where the 2 colors meet. The bulb was still working with the hole, we quickly turned off the lamp and trashed the bulb. I am a bit nervous around the heat lamps now.

What camera do you use to film?

Very helpful

I use the Brinsea brooder heaters for my youngins. No fire hazards. But the mealworms are a "MUST HAVE". Shake the bag and they come running. Pecking order goes to hell when you shake that bag. I have 14 girls, and 6 hands full satisfies them plus a half handful for my special lap girl(a leghorn). If chick days are coming, I need to build a tractor for 30 Cornish. I love my TSC. In fact I'm going today for 4 bags of feed and a bag of scratch. I love your videos, keep them coming.

Hi becky I keep backyard chickens in Chicago, and I got 5 silkies in the beginning of May. Now that they're 2 months old are they're any precautions I should take or any medications I should give them to keep them happy and healthy? Also I recently had to bring them into my basement because we are in the middle of a heat wave, besides freezing fruit and giving them fresh cold water are there any secret tips to keeping them hydrated?

Must have been before covid. We got kicked out of our local TSC for not wearing masks. We were being nice and polite not bothering anyone at all. The people there are usually really nice I think it was one manager though. The funny thing is there was another guy there not wearing and nobody said anything to him. And this was right before Christmas. We were actually Christmas shopping. So we left and haven't been back since. We go to other locals. I refuse to live in fear.
