Yw. If you appreciate my help please consider donating to our cause. My family is fostering some wonderful animals and could use some help. Thank you
Those are some happy chics -
Love your idea of making a coop
Thanks :)
You don't want to allow your hens into the laying boxes until they are ready to lay. Otherwise you will have shitty eggs. They will learn to sleep and poop in the egg boxes
Yup. That's what happened to mine. The boxes were 4 wide and up above the roosting bars. I eventually removed that (outside) box and covered the hole. Then I put converted kitty litter boxes on the ground inside the coop and they loved em, but didn't sleep in them, since their roosting bars were higher up. I figured I would try and place things like they would be in the wild (nesting on the ground and roosting in trees).
Can you go over how you made the actual enclosed inside the Amazon run
Thanks for this video! Love this set up; new to chickens and our chicks will be going out soon.
You don't want to keep that much feed at once unless you have 50+ chickens to feed out of that garbage can. It will go bad and mildew or mold or go stale. I recommend no more than 1 or 2 bags at a time so that doesn't happen. Also, you need to keep the nesting boxes covered until the chicks are about 5-6 mths at laying age. If you keep it open they will go in and poop all over them and learn to eat the eggs. Also, your heating lamps are too close to the floor. It can catch the shavings on fire and burn your coop down. A lot of people make that mistake with those infrared lamp light bulbs. The chicks need a place they can get away from the heat if they become over heated.
Thank you friend . very useful knowledge and information ... best regards, greetings of friendship from Indonesian chicken breeders
Wow beautiful set up
Thank you

Watch that TSC feed. Bout a month ago it was all over they had made some changes and people no longer were getting eggs. I'm in NC as well, somewhere in Wayne County. Wife and I along with a couple of others bought a homestead-needs a lot of work and gonna be slow due to disability[s], income and it mainly being a one-man show when it comes to the work [[namely partly blind/stroked me, but heck, someones gotta do it, right? ;) You get some hens and close enough along with a rooster and I'll buy them from you-still need to get the henhouse and fencing but they can live in the garage til then. lol
Hey i heard about that but its mainly on the laying feed. right now my chicks are still on starter so i took a bag of tsc feed that i already had and mixed it 50/50 with feed from a local mill. seems to work great and when i run out ill be buying from the feed mill only. i like the freshness of it and also it'll be problem free. Wayne County is a beautiful place and im sure your new property is too! Congrats! Sounds like you need to take it slow but you will get the pieces into place. Ill have some roosters and hens available soon. Brahmas, RIR, Golden Comets, Silkies, Jersey Giants, Buff Orpington's, dark cornish, hopefully white breasted turkeys and im hoping to develop my own broiler breeds. Stay in touch!
@@joshyelton I will try. :) Wife might like some Turkeys too. I know next to nothing about the breeds except 'Do they lay eggs and dress out?" We were given ten hens-all layers, last Sept. One passed in December. The rest are a mixed lot of Blacks, reds with bare necks, blacks with speckles and a couple others.
Tracker Supply doesn't sell good feed. What ever is in the ones they sell, people have been claiming their chickens are not laying any longer or as well or that their chicks don't ever lay. I use Tucker Millings Feed.
nice build, your waterer needs to be cleaned more often or the chickens will get sick.
and the chickens will eat the spray foam in the sides of the coop
Can i ask what size tarp you have for the roof
Hey I was planning on doing something similar to your coop. what Is the flooring in this coop made of?
dirt and pine shavings
How are you powering your heat lamps?
I'm using a outdoor rated drop cord and I used zip ties to tie it to the fence to get it up off the ground so I could cut grass and helps with weather proofing. Make sure you get a drop cord that has a high amp/wattage rating. Not all drop cords are the same
You don’t want to really spoil them with the heat. They do find in the cold. They’ll get spoiled and used to the heat. If it goes out for whatever reason they’ll go into shock really easily
