I'm glad you kept electricity. The heat lamp is important till they feather. We would dip their beaks in water also. There are always people who insist that you don't need to. Maybe not, that's how we did it. Thank you Steve.
Really? I always heard that is what got them going to eat and drink. Our electricity stayed on but dad lost his and he’s just across a 40 acre field from me. Thanks Bryce
That's amazing that 70 chicks can come in a box that small and that they can be mailed. They sure are cute. That's something else my wife wants me to get back into (along with pigs and cattle).
Cutest little fuzzy butts! I am so glad they made it alive! Wow. We had that 2 years ago and half were deceased. I’m so happy for you guys! Happy chick raising! Stay warm and safe friends!
Glad they all made it there ok! I guess we missed out on all the ice, just got rain in central Indiana. Was 63 here today on my lunch break, down to 36 now. My wife wanted to get chickens the year after we got married, so we went and ordered some from rural king. They came in a few weeks later, and when we went to get them Amanda walked up to the counter and said "we're here to pick up chicks" and the girl gave us a blank stare...then she figured it out. I was dying laughing. Thanks for the video Steve! Stay warm and hope you have a good one!
@@AnglesideFarm I keep telling everyone that we do... That's why I've got the picture of the semi covered in snow on my page. Used to have snow most of the winter. Now it seems like a skiff here and there.. or a foot to 3 feet all at once. Really messes up traffic anymore, all the Comifornians that have moved here, can't drive on clear roads, so snow and ice really get them... watching the news now, only things moving are chained up.
I sure like seeing baby chicks. That might be redundant, but I like the way it sounds. We may have dodged a bullet with this ice storm. Since the 2520 isn’t back together yet, I brought one of the 520’s up to the shop so that if the power went out, I could hook it up to the generator. That way I only have to mess with one overhead door without power. The book on the generator says it needs a minimum of 30 horsepower to run it. So that leaves out the 25 horsepower Kubota. Thanks for sharing this Steve. Between your new chicks and Ed’s baby calves, I am getting caught up on cuteness.
Townline must be the biggest hatchery in the state, that's where everything up here comes from also. That makes for some noisy post offices early in the morning!
Wow, who knew they could come in the mail!! Sounds pretty amazing really for the USPS to get them there in all living order!! Man that drive was crazy!! I know you have to be ready for spring!! That's awesome toy already have preorders for some of these!! Man I wish you were closer!! Don't you want to enjoy some NC winters!! I think the Mrs made a great call on uping the numbers!! Looking fwd to seeing these grow my friend!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi Nelson, this was the first time we got chicks in the mail. We usually got to TSC and buy them, but there is a cost savings doing this many direct from the hatchery. Thanks for watching sir
Steve- heard you guys up north got a pretty bad ice storm. I’m glad everything went ok (I haven’t always had the same luck with USPS). Better get that chick starter!!
We didn’t get it as bad as some, even my dad who lives across a 40 acre field lost power during the night. Yep....got that chick starter! Thank you sir!
Hi John! We figure that we will raise hogs and chickens 9 months leaving 3 months when Judy retires to go somewhere out of the cold and do some traveling/visiting!
I haven't had chickens since I was a kid and I think I need to do it again. My problem is I've got so many wild critters raccoons and foxes and opossums and mink I need to get my barn sealed up good. I looked in the grocery store the other day and a whole chicken was $13. It looked like it was one of the sick runts.
If you have the time to mess with them, you can sell all you can grow....at least around here and with meat getting recalled all the time it has consumers "flocking" to growers. People are willing to pay more knowing where and how it was raised. Try a small batch and test the waters in your area.
Mail order chicks.... I thought those all came from Russia.
😂😂😂
Good one Chris!

Sounds like livestock is in your future Charlie! Might have to change your channel name to include Grain and Livestock Farmer.

Lisa I was certain when I lifted the lid, I’d find some losses but luckily they all were very healthy.
You stay warm and safe too, thanks!
“ What you supposed is n that box “? Some hot chics ! Lol enjoyed watching!
😂
Good one! Thanks cousin Scott
They look great! I love hearing that sound! It'll be late April before we get ours.
Thanks Rich
We will be looking at your channel to see how they do!
Always fun watching the little chicks grow up.
All good but the stink 😂

Wild temps this winter isn’t it?
Thanks Evan
Look at all those peepers!!
Went to bed with just a skiff of snow.. woke up to a foot or so..
Good morning ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
@@ronphillips1437 good morning ☕☕☕
Good Morning Ed.....I honestly never thought you got any snow from watching your videos the last couple years.

Well Gary we should have some kinda baby pigs here soon to add to the overall cuteness for you! 😂
@@AnglesideFarm , oh oh! Cuteness overload!
Hey Gary. Only 15 inches of snow here.
4 foot drifts .
@@brycewiborg8095 , we lack just 12 inches of having an even foot on the ground here 🤣🤣🤣
That's quite a brood!
I was thinking the same thing when I opened the box. Thanks for watching Matt.
Nice to see that many survived. Yellow fuzzy gold this year. Nothing better than beer can chicken on the grill.
Beer can chicken, you are speaking my language sir!
Chicks look great Steve, can’t wait to see what you do with them. Take care and have a blessed day my friend.
Thank you Tony, you have a blessed weekend sir!
I have yet to do meat birds
You should try them FF, for us we make a nice profit margin and they sell fast around here.
@@AnglesideFarm It's just having the time to do it... I'm going to be on the road a lot this year
@@FarmallFanatic well that would be a problem, good luck in whatever your travels take you to. Personal or TH-cam related traveling?
@@AnglesideFarm TH-cam

They have a interesting video of their operation
How’s the ice storm up there Fred?
@@AnglesideFarm lt was all snow up here, about a foot of fluff.

@@AnglesideFarm Amazing journey for sure Mr Steve!! Yes sir always!!
Looks like some good eating in a few months
Can’t wait to put some on the Blackstone! Thanks guys!
🥚 to go with the 🥓👍🏻👍🏻
Ok I guess 🍗 to go with the 🥓 not 🥚
@@TheGrumpyFarmer either way it’s gonna be good eats!
Thanks Andy!

All ways wanted to do chickens, but we just enjoy traveling to much, got no one to take care of them while we are gone. Cute little chirpers!

We get layers .....Nothing better than farm raised chicken and eggs.....How many do you keep for your freezer? Thanks Steve.....
We will keep 20 for ourselves and sell the remaining birds. I found a new market since last year so that was our reason to increase the number we got
Good morning nice chick's and ice can be beautiful to look at butcan definitely do some damage
You are right Ron, it's like a sheet of glass on trees, bushes etc., so pretty until the power goes out! Thanks for stopping by sir!
My wife has been talking about getting chickens. Can't let her see this video.
I know, my wife watched a Turkey video, so guess what’s next 😂
We got that ice storm here in north east Ohio too. OK maybe this is a dumb question but why do you dip their feet in water?
😂😂😂
Beak in water.....
It stimulates them to drink and eat I guess, that’s what I’ve been told anyway.😂
