I got chickens for the fertilizer and the bug control. Also they eat table scraps.

I love your videos but why do u have your comments shut off??

I have 7 eggs a day. And I do sale my eggs. Like this my chicken cost me $0. 😊

Very obvious you are reading from a script!

I am enjoying your channel. You have a lot of the breeds that I am looking at (australorpe, speckled sussex, EE, salmon favorelle, barnevelder, welsummer). I would LOVE to see a "Meet my Flock" video. Tell us their names, characteristics & show the eggs that they lay.

Take a chicken to the vet? Only if the vets name is Shake and Bake!

Which countries are chicken growing

What kind of hen is that big grey one with the fat cheeks?

Here we have to look for Easter Eggers, most people sell production reds around here, I look at the legs to see if there are a couple with green shaded legs, this way I know it's a good chance I'm getting green eggs, today my production red chicken had a wild chicken/production red mix, can't wait to see how it looks once it grows

Got a bunch of pullets getting ready to start laying. Be glad when they get over the change cuz they are fighting all the time, even trying to beat up my rooster. lol Lumber prices have dropped some. I'm working on a new run/coop now. 8x19 run with a 7x8 coop. Costing about 600 bucks in big fat numbers. 3x8 of the coop is going to supplies and feed storage and the rest is for the birds.

Thank you sir for the knowledge is very useful.. greetings greetings of friendship from indonesian laying hen breeders... let's share knowledge of chicken farming

I liv in Maryland also, Salisbury

Love my chickens! Just spent 2k building them the Taj mahal of coops.

A lot of useful tips thanks 😊

Im happy I got chicks. They aren't buddies

I'm now hatching out chicks (halfway the incubation) and in my old flock I have Rhode Islands Reds... They are way sweeter than the leghorns In my flock. Leghorns are way more mean 😂 3 of them attack the lowest in rang... The rest of the flock never pick on the others like that

What's the green stuff you fed them😊

I see a speckled Sussex! I can't wait for my chicks to grow up and show off their speckles ❤

Um, you can't sell live animals on Facebook

We did the pandemic chicken thing in 2020…bought 8 chicks, built a large coop and run in the backyard and raised them for the next 2 1/2 years. We had dozens of delicious eggs at any given time and the girls became our beloved pets. We rehomed them when we moved out of state. After living for six months with out the fluffy butts and eating nasty grocery store eggs, we decided it was time to start a new flock…this time we got 10 completely different hens then we had before, including four Easter Eggers, and we are super excited🥰🐥

I have a beautiful flock and their a mixture of chickens..I just got 2 olive eggers chicks and easter egger.. I've been raising chickens for almost 1 decade.. I love them..

Panic Buying Chicks!?!? Guilty! But my panic was adding to my flock, not starting out! In my area, the first chicks became available on February 3rd. They were all gone in 30 minutes. I have three different suppliers that are local companies. One is a lady who's daughter works at a major hatchery! But her chicks sell at a premium! Any way I ended up buying what I could, even if it was the last chick that had! The feed stores were not receiving chicks every week, it was taking two for them to get deliveries. I ended up with chicks that were a month apart in age so I ended up losing chicks. They would get suffocated during the night. I bought two groups of Easter Egger (3 in each group) but only one survived! I had one get sick and die. So my number one tip to new or even veteran chicken owners; be careful about the age difference in your brooder!

After I started my coop, got my flock established, and my hens grew up - a coworker decided he wanted to as well.. only he rents a house so he'll have to dump the chickens at his mom's house. He also wants just 1 chicken AND he wants to keep them in a mesh cage with no coop. Don't be this guy. I tried to convince him of all the bad ideas, but he disregarded all advice. I just hope this panic buying stops him from finding chicks because he's also a bit lazy and doesn't put effort in.

Your girls are beautiful! I love your videos!

Why do you disable the comments on all your videos? I'm sure a lot of people want to know where you got your fertilized eggs from.

I have Jersey Giants, Brahma and Speckled Sussex. Between 24 hens, I get 50-60 eggs a week. 50 pound bag of All Stock, 20% feed 19.99 for 50 pounds lasts over two weeks which is cheaper than eggs at the store(over 5 bucks). There is no Avian Flu. If there were such, one would see millions of dead birds in their yards. Use some common sense. Turkish Rocket leaves are 16% protein. Comfrey is higher yet protein. I'm not buying any feed this summer. Furthermore chickens love grass and clover and in my yard is plenty when I mow...

Can I buy I'm in the philippines

Just wait for when these people get to fight mites!

Chickens are food. If you can't handle them, then eat them.

Hopefully, you'll plant them a pecking garden.

Easter eggers garbage breed.

We have an Easter Egger coming in June with our chick order. We are excited to see what kind of color eggs she ends up laying.

I use a metal rabbit feeder for my grit (the kind with a screened bottom) and just hung it in their run on the wire. Also you can hardboil the "icky" eggs & mash them up (I use a potato masher) shells and all. The boxes under roosts is genius!

Thanks for sharing, I do not own chickens but have been researching.

Not one hatchery has chicks I was wanting to add to my chickens from last year . I’m shocked they are sold out through Oct 2023 I think what’s going to happen is a over load of chickens needing homes come fall or winter even . Not everyone like getting out every day to care for livestock

Very well done! Thank you 😊

I agree with everything you said. Been a chicken lady for many years. Easter Eggers are one of my top favorites. I'm only adding 4 more to my existing mixed breed flock of 17 this year.( Feed costs.) Our local feed mill has a "Chick Days', where you pre-order from their list and then they place the entire order from all their customers at once and we pick them up when they all arrive. This limits the breeds but can avail you of adding as few or as many as you wish.

I no longer use galvanized buckets as they are prone to leaks. Their week point is the weld spots on the handle. They are open...ants will get in, and rain. I now use a rubber barrel that gives a seal.

If you have rats or mice you are leaving feed out. Remove all feed at night. Place all feed in rodent proof containers. I have outdoor cats that take care of such things.

If you have flies by the ton you are not cleaning your chicken area. Once a week I scatter DE all over the coop bedding. This kills alot of unwanted insects & parasites.

Someone finally said it! Thank you, having a hard time finding leghorns cause of the panic.

The panic shopping though is real. We tried to get our chicks last month and they're just not available. I found a local feed store that takes reservations so I have some reserved now for next month, otherwise I'm not sure I could get there in time to get some.

I've been planning this for a few years. Lots of researching and we're building a big coop for our girls. We'll get them next month. Timing-wise it looks like I'm panic buying but it's really something I've wanted to do for a long time. I've always been attracted to the idea of knowing how to feed myself if I need to.

You are right about panic buying there is no reason to panic buy since the gestation of chickens is fairly short and the recovery of the chicken and egg crisis will turn over pretty quick however, your commentary on keeping chickens is not complete. You give all kinds of reasons why someone shouldn’t and wouldn’t be able to afford or have time to care for them you are discouraging people by not mentioning these FACTS. You are making it sound like people shouldn’t keep them unless you buy a store bought coops and put up a fence. Many people feed their chickens table scraps and spend very little on feed , many people free range and don’t need fencing. As far as space you said.” if you don’t have space… “ a small outdoor 5ft by 5ft you can humanely keep 5 hens. You don’t HAVE to free range. Chickens are in fact social animals BUT if you keep more than 1 chicken you don’t have to spend time with them and keep them as pets if you don’t want to. Many people clean their coops and feed them fresh food and water and keep them safe without spending more time than that. Chickens can take the same amount of time as any other type of bird you don’t have to walk, or play with them them and the vet bills? How many times have you actually taken your chicken to the vet. 😂😂 You are BS’ing that, everyone home treats poultry. As a matter of fact many places don’t have an avian vet within 50-100 mi. of them. These groups have at least 20 posts a day on how to treat a chicken at home. This attitude you have is , only CERTAIN people can do this, this actually came out of your mouth, “….it costs so much time, money , and work….” a few minutes later “it is easy for me” geez. You don’t need a master’s degree in biology to keep a chicken. It’s just a chicken. Stop trying to make it an elite club 😂 I added the small bits of info so that anyone reading this can research the info I have mentioned about raising chickens, I gave you something to think about there are other TH-cam creators that are more informative.

what is the chicken that have no feather on her neck and head

I have six silkies in a brooder and 15 Australorps. I will be getting fifteen red Bourbon turkeys next month. I stick to one type of chicken as I hatch some of my eggs periodically. I love your variety. They all look so healthy and well cared for.

I don't really eat eggs, but I got a few silkies for fun the other day. They had just come in that day, and half were already purchased when I got there. As an animal person, so far, they have been pretty low maintenance and fun to watch grow. I started with a small breed because I had always wanted silkies and because I can add one or two egg laying birds later on and they will have a flock without having a lot of larger birds. This hobby seems cheap and easy to me after being into aquariums for the last 4 years, lol.

We love our chickens like pets and don't eat them, just their eggs. Those Rhode Island Reds are so aggressive as you said! Our main predators has been hawks and feral cats, now we have 5 livestock guardian dogs, so no more predator pressure ☺️ Hoping that everyone that starts this venture will stick with it, we need to all be as self sufficient as possible now days!
