Loveland Acres... Is it in Loveland co?
Does anyone know what breed is the hen in the thumbnail??
It depends on the broody hen. Mary, my broody hen sits on her eggs, on the best nest (according to all the other hens) and hatches the chicks out fine. If she is forced to leave her nest, she sits on another one to wait for her nest to be open again. I marked the eggs I wanted to allow to hatch, so removing the unmarked (new) ones is easy. She likes to move after the chicks hatch out though. She likes to raise her kids alone. lol Mary is one of the best broody hens I've had in decades though. :) She always remembers her nest.
So, if the eggs get cold, their no good? Fertilized eggs ?
Hello! Quick question… How long do they stay in the brooder box after the hatch? Thank you!
We do about a week and then we let them start to explore with mama!
Where do you purchase your chicks from? Looks like healthy stock and you sure take very good care of your hens.
We breed ours ourselves! Thank you for the compliment!
Super helpful! Thank you so much
Great Job! Thank you.
my broody hen would destroy the whole box with the dust bath...I'll have to put that further away.
You know your hens best! Our broody hens typically dust bath once every 2-3 days and while there is a bit of a mess, the brooder box overall has been the best thing to keep our mamas focused on their own clutch of eggs since it's right there in the box.
What type of oil pans do you use for food?
We like the galvanized oil pans you can get at any auto store or hardware/home improvement store.
So after the eggs hatch how long do the baby chicks and mama stay in the box before returning to the main flock?
I'd say about 1-2 weeks. By then, the peeps have established a good routine with mama hen!
@@greenwillowhomestead do you have issues with flock messing with the chicks when the mama and chicks are reintroduced?
You absolutely have to isolate the hen? Hmmm…I must have very rare chickens.
Your barn is really nice! Took some planning. You also have a nice laying flock. I can tell you have some Barred Rocks. Looks like you have some Golden Comets or Cinnamon Queens,also. Enjoy your channel and keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!!
Hey GWH. We built your Mega coop! Check it out at th-cam.com/video/V14r4IBhlis/w-d-xo.html
HEY! Oh my gosh we are so delighted you shared your chicken tractor build. It's so generous and kind of you!!
Mam which thing we gave this new born baby chicks
love helping you both
Congrats! Plan the best you can to get things done then when you’re life is more ‘exciting’ (aka baby), just roll with the plan changing and enjoy the season, surprises, changes the best you can!
Thanks for the advice Neil - we are working hard to cross things off our list before baby arrives so we can have a month or two to relax in the spring and simply enjoy our newest addition to the family!
Outstanding, and congratulations! I'm on your email list and I really enjoy your updates.
Thanks Stanley! I'm so glad you enjoy our updates - we love putting them together!
YES!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!🎉
Thank you so much!! You know I'll be coming to you for tips and perspectives on parenting while farming. xoxo
Gah I wish we could have goats!
I wish too! They are such a joy and I've truly loved caring for them. I can't wait to get electric fencing and get them out clearing more brush in our woods!
I would like this to be a self standing unit. How can I waterproof it?
I recommend putting it under a porch or lean-to. It's hard to expose a broody hen to the elements when she is sitting on eggs.
Excellent information! Thank you!
Great video! Your passion shows thru your enthusiasm for farming.
Thanks! 👍
your mama chickens are just beautiful!
Thank you so much! We love our mama hens!
I love the crushed gravel idea and may steal it.
Go right ahead! :)
the barn looks beautiful and the plans sound awesome! It will be fun to see it all happen.
Thank you! I can't wait!
Yay!!!
Looks like you guys have been busy!
You know we love our projects!
So glad I found this! Can’t wait for your new farm! 🥰
I love this! Thanks for sharing! You inspire me.
