"They do depend upon you for their life." *_Truer words were never spoken._* And it applies to ALL your animals whether 'farm types' or 'pets'! This is also true of your minor children, the elderly or disabled in your household, your spouses & families, your soldiers, employees, etc... Do your best to keep your situation 'tight' so that you AND yours (incl. your animals) are SAFE, FED, NURTURED and CARED FOR! Be blessed!
I completely agree!!
This suburban gardener (also growing in her small backyard) keeps checking her Ring doorbell every time yours goes off.
I need to remember to put my phone on silent lol. You aren’t the first person to say that.
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead No problem… I went to my door the first time, but now think it’s funny.
Hey Asia thanks for sharing your story. You’re a good chicken mama 🥰 they all look so happy and healthy. Great job.❤😊
Hey 👋🏾! Thank you!
Lovely. You could keep those large bags and get a tree company to dump wood chips in your yard free. You could mulch it and save tons of money.
Thank you! I get scared that they are going to dump too much every time I almost decide to make that decision lol. I’ve signed up for chip drop twice and cancelled 🤣
TH-cam has a variety of information. Thanks for the information about your mini farm, Asia! 👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
I extended my chicken run. The part I extended I covered it with chicken wire. So far, it's working out. You may want to try that. I already had it on hand for something else. Used zip ties and that gave them extra protection. I used to have a hawk come around. But I haven't seen it lately. That wasn't my issue, it was coyotes. Never new about those little devils until I had my first set of chickens. I'm a little sad I can't let them free range like they use to. Your girls look nice and happy. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds like a good option. Thank you for sharing! I have a roll of chicken from the enclosure. I may give this a try!!
Hey there, thanks for sharing. I learned some things about raising chickens. 🐔🐔
Hey 👋🏾! You’re welcome, I’m happy to hear that.
I enjoyed the chicken story you make it look easy.👍🏽😊
Thank you Sue 🤗
Chickens will teach you so much, just treated one for cocci, and she's doing awesome. Now I have one with the sniffles. Learned to do breast injections. Never imagined I'd be doing that.😂
They absolutely depend on you❤
Pine Bark nuggets has been awesome in my run to help keep smells down ! Your flock is beautiful 😍
Yes they will! Happy to hear she is doing well. Hopefully the other will get better soon.
Ok I’ll have to look into that. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I wish my HOA would allow husbandry.
Good evening, Asia,
Wishing you a very Blessed Week ahead!
🌹🌹🌹
Good Evening!
Thank you! Wishing you the same!
🌹🌹🌹
I love chicken talk. To me that means they are happy🐔. I don't have chickens because I'm afraid I won't keep them warm enough during winter. Plus I want to have room for them to roam freely.
I don’t mind it! What state do you live in?
I so enjoyed this; very informative ☺️
Ooooo I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you!
I would love to have chickens but live in the desert and think it would be cruel, unless I had an ac for them! Lol
Thanks for sharing! God bless
Guuurrrrllll!! You make me wanna follow that little voice in me that wanted to raise chickens. But I worked way to much & too hard. Maybe in my next life!!! Meantime I'm loving the vicarious joy of your journey!!❤❤❤❤
They’re big and healthy looking good job
Thank you!!
I want chickens someday. Thank you for the video Asia!😊
really enjoyed your video your honesty and genuine nature is awesome keep up the good work 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
Thank you! Will do 🤗
I did the same thing you did. I just went and bought them without knowing what I was doing 😅. Still learning.
I also got 7 just in case one or two didn't make it but they're all still here
Lol same here! I learn more and more about them every year. Happy to hear all of yours made it as well!
When you are in the coop and run, please wear a mask and eye protection
I have 2 chickens only and 2 pecking ducks I go to tractor supply too we have a metal chicken coop from Amazon have noticed cats and possum around
O ok. I have cats all the time but I’ve only had possum issues two or three times.
Hi Asia, great video on chicken and quail care. I love my childrens, with a little food water and care they give you eggs and meat, I process and stew the older hens, they make amazing chicken dumplings, so actually it's a win win all the way around, peace and blessings 😊🌺
I just found you and my word I love it!!! Binging and learning. Thank you
Awww thank you! Welcome to the channel!
Excellent !
I had 8 hens and then sold 4 because it was too much eggs for just me. But my chickens all are the same breed so I don't have names for them because I can't tell them apart. 😂
Lol totally understandable!
I love this video. So much good information. ❤
I Appreciate how honest and true life you are. I love watching hing you as I learn a lot (no chickens yet, but my son a daughter does). As long as you have a channel I will certainly follow. Thank you for sharing your journey.
You’re welcome! Do you have plans on getting any? Awww thank you!
Your garden is wonderful. I am so jealous. The whole Garden, my grandmother used to grow a garden, but she had more land to work with so hers was very orderly. I like the chaos of your garden better. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Awww thank you! I like a wild bushy garden most of the time!
I had chickens years ago and let them free range in my backyard - won't do that again now that I have a garden. Considering chickens again in the spring. Already have a dog run set up just need a coop.
Lol totally understand! O ok nice! Hopefully you can get them again and start enjoying fresh eggs!
If my garden would be close to my appartment I would probably get chickens as well.
Great information 😊
Thank you!
Always a nice visit! My grandpa converted chain link dog kennels into coops once the birds were big enough no not escape. Worked well!
That’s a great idea for a quick set up! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the chicken 🐓
You’re welcome!!
The chickens seem so chill!
They normally are as long as there’s food, water and treats lol.
Awesome video free organic fertilizer is the best especially in these times of high inflation
I love it!!
hi missed this yesterday love the chickens.
Hi 👋🏾! Thanks for watching when you could! 🤗
Great video.
Thank you GT!
My city won’t allow me to keep chickens. Trying to change that. Our local community college has a course on raising poultry for community seasonal learning. Anyone interested should see if their community college does the same as an option. The class was $30 for my area.
Hopefully you can get that changed! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! O that’s a great resource. I’ve never thought to check into that. Thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed your chicken story. I want to get chickens within the next year or 2 once I am totally settled into the house and get the garden to where I want it. I need to research what breeds would be best for our cold Ohio winters and the best way to keep the predators away. So far I know there are groundhogs and raccoons that I am fighting with in the garden. I have also seen eagles, hawks and vultures in the area. We can have up to 4 hens in the city here.
Thanks for sharing Asia! This is a really informative video! I got 6 hens 2 years ago and I enjoy having my girls too! Watching you has gotten me interested in raising Quail!
You’re welcome! O nice! Quail are pretty easy in my opinion.
Congratulations on 20k
Thanks Broke! This is all happening so fast lol!
I go to palmer feed store for food cheaper there
I don’t think we have one of those here.
I'm absolutely impressed with your garden. I'd love to have chooks again. I'm loving your sense of humour 😊
Thank you! Are you thinking of getting some?
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead I need a little house and outdoor area first. Lots of stray cats and hawks, possums, rates here.
Hi Aaia, Great Job, Mike B-More.
Thanks Mike!!
Nice story! Thanks for sharing! Would you consider allowing the chickens to run the garden at the end of the season to scratch and eat pests? Also, you may want to use 1/4" hardware cloth as a topping to your coup (if you don't mind me giving the suggestion)!
Thank you!! You’re welcome! I would not only because I grow all year long if I didn’t I would absolutely let them. I’m thank you! That’s a great idea actually!
You could actually build a hooped frame to go over the specific bed and the chickens (1-3) could be confined to the raised bed. They'll eat the worms, greens, bugs left in the bed. Look up garden hoops for an idea!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead
I’m going to research which are ideal for my area, but those sapphire olive eggers are beautiful. I think I’ve figured out a setup so will start prepping for chickens next year. Thanks for sharing. This was great info.
Hey Lala! O cool! They are beautiful. I love their feathers. You’re welcome and good luck getting started!
I just found your channel & absolutely love it!!!! Can’t wait til spring! Also, where did you buy that adorable sweat suit?!!
Thank you!! I can’t either! I got it from Temu. I actually got three lol. I love them.
❤❤❤
I love my chickens. They are a lot of responsibility. I also got chickens before I even had a place for them. I underestimated my neighbors dogs and lost my first flock. I love my ducks too, but they are messy
I do too and year they are but I still find them to be easy lol…odd I know. O no! I’m sorry to hear that. Losing them is hard.
Hey, you were in the garden the other day, when a chicken decided to fly up the fence😂
And you said, that you've just cut the wings. We had chickens, and we only ditd cut one wing shorter. So they don't have balance to fly.
If you already did that, I'm sorry😊
Keep up the good work.
Lol she keeps doing it. I have done it before with the older girls but I’ll have to try that again. Thanks for the reminder!
Hey Asia 🌹🪴
Hey Joe.
I'm thinking on rabbits and quail. Ducks would be good for a food source too.
I want rabbits too but I’m still on the fence lol. O ok. I don’t have any space for ducks. I think they’d eat my garden lol
Wow' Aisia , it's been a year already that I have followed on your journey as I did my journey into gardening. I have learned so much from you. I am now making plans for changes for next summer. I have a lot of space, but I only use a small portion for gardening, so I have to maximize the use of the area. You have done an awesome job and I enjoy watching your video's. What a great year, let do it again. I have a H.O.A. so no chichens, lol. I am a vidographer that can't find the time to edit as offten as I need to. I will send a link if I deside to start a page. Great job and keep up the good work you g lady. Be blessed!
O wow Benjamin! It doesn’t even seem like I’ve been posting that long. Thank you for the continued support! I hope you plans come out just as you want them to. Totally understandable. Life can be busy sometimes. If you do please do send it to me.
Hello there from Cali🤗🐕🐩🐕🐩🐕
Heeeey 🤗
Hi Asia, I'm a new subscriber. I love your channel and your attitude about everything. I can really relate to you! Could you tell me what camera you use to film? Thanks!
Hi 👋🏾! Thank you 🤗! I use the Sony ZV-1.
I think they are a great investment that pays off👍🏾💯
I completely agree!
Oh do you have Vevor’s quail egg peeler? I just saw a video on it and thought of you and the quails.
I started ordering off their website because your videos 😀
I didn’t until I read this comment lol. I asked and they said yes! It’s on its way. Video coming soon!! O nice! I’m happy to hear!
I love your chicken videos 😊 I want to raise some myself, but just waiting until I get the space to be able to. I do have one question - do you ever have issues with chickens eating their eggs? I have zero experience with chickens, but have heard that can happen sometimes. Thanks so much for your informative videos ((:
Thank you! O ok…totally understandable. I haven’t had that issue but I have seen others say it can be an issue!
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
We're those qual or chicken eggs that you showed in your video? Would ever recommend raising qual for eggs only, for a beginner? I love your videos!
Yes those were quail eggs. I would, I like quail eggs. You need like 5 to make a normal chicken egg. I’ve also heard they are higher in cholesterol (I believe). I don’t eat them every day though. I also prefer to boil them.
Thank you for sharing. He told us to ask questions, so I wanted to know what made you purchase Quail
Hi 👋🏾! I wanted a meat source that didn’t take up much space. I had thought about rabbits but quail seemed easier as well.
You are good at editing your videos what do you use
Thank you! I use CapCut. It’s pretty easy and free!
I'm watching videos on how to protect them from mice and rats any suggestions appreciated
I had them but they didn’t bother the chickens they ate the food but that was about it. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
How do you keep the chickens and Quail warm in the winter and snow?
I add extra bedding but that’s about it. I don’t do anything extra to keep them warm.
Could you provide a link to the coop that you bought? I like that it's wood instead of that ugly plastic stuff that alot are made of these days. You do have some nice-looking chickens and the bedding you're using seems to stay very clean! 6 or 7 is about the same number I want.
I bet you could cover that top of the run area with 1/2 inch hardware cloth. I've heard from various chicken people that chicken wire doesn't work well keeping predators out. Hardware cloth is more durable. My area is chain link and not as tall as yours so I might have to rig up something that extends the height and then put hardware cloth on top of that.
Hi 👋🏾! Here’s the link for the coop…www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/petmate-superior-construction-chicken-coop-70401d-1428968?store=169&cid=Shopping-Google-Local_Feed&Google&Shopping&Local_Feed&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD3fmFPgtGrE92TYXW3FMvRiQuHN-&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsp6pBhCfARIsAD3GZuYTHTtE44H1jLfZoydlaIy5CJNtZU7EdRGDuIoy97XvL7ij-DM2P80aAgDDEALw_wcB
I love it!!
Great update. This is my first winter with my 6 gurls. How many quail do you have? I am interested in quail for meat.
Thank you! I was very nervous my first winter but they did amazingly. I have 5 quail. I’ve just started hatching my eggs to get the meat production coming. My son and I love it. My daughter won’t eat them because we raised them. She loves animals.
What is the best variety for a beginner?
I like the Black Sexlinks. I haven’t had any issues health wise with them. They are very hardy in my option.
How many quail do you have in that space? We are looking at getting some and curious on different setups
I have 5 quail it could probably fit 6 in my opinion.
Hey Asia, my husband wants chickens, but I’m afraid of snakes. Has any snakes ever tried to get to the eggs?
Hey 👋🏾! I luckily with fingers and toes crossed have never encountered a snake in my garden or chicken area. I’m very afraid of them as well!
So, if you had the opportunity, would you buy a place with more space,so you could expand the gardens??!! Just wondering.☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Yes but I would still stay in an urban area. While I like the idea of country living the wildlife does not intrigue me lol.
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead believe me, I definitely understand!!😊😊😊😊
how many quails you have? Do they take any different care compared to the chickens?
I have 5 quail. No not really. They are messy so I have to clean their area more but that’s about it. They don’t roost so that’s one thing you don’t need for them. In my experience the care is about the same. The other thing is you need a low house or a high house. If it’s in between they could hurt themselves. They startle easily and they fly up when that happens.
Thanks, that's helpful. I really like quail eggs!@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead
Are quails easier vs chickens?
Ummm I would say yes because you don’t need as much space but they still need the same care. They do eat less but they are messy so you may have to clean more. You don’t have to let them out and close them up daily.
