Chrissy the pens look so much better! Just the beautiful smile on your face tells us your happy with the pens dear❤lol ya Giddy up !I always watch all your videos since I found you! Love from Canadian nana ❤🇨🇦
Lucky lady! I love my retriever pen but I use the galvanized 10’x6’tall panels they sell! Just bought another one 😅. Setting up 4 more 5’x20’ breeding pens =))
I have seen more about them lately, seems to be an awesome breed especially for butcher. I am pretty invested in the breeds I have right now, but if I ever need any I will certainly reach out;)
We are currently beginning our Back Yard Hatchery with Pearl White Leghorns 2 Roosters and 24 hens, Rhode Island Reds 2 Roosters and 24 hens, Cream Legbar 1 Rooster and 2 hens and Khaki Campbell Ducks Breeders were destroyed by dogs neighbors dogs however we were able to incubate 22 eggs and successfully hatched 19 ducklings we can add 3 more breeds for now do you have any suggested Breeds and advice as to how to move/sell the chicks... we have been set back at least 6 months from breeding since the dogs killed our entire flock of 50 bird just becoming adult layer..ps we live on 1 acre
The absolute first thing I would do is lock your pens down like Ft Knox. If I’m spending thousands of dollars, there odds are always against you with chickens, the last thing you need to worry about is predators or dogs. Once you invest in protected breeder coops, I would then Study your area and find what breeds are popular or which are scarce. I don’t raise or breed any ordinary breeds that big box stores get all the time. It wouldn’t be worth my time. I invested in amazing very well known nationally breeders of certain breeds. That’s what works for me;)
yes, the do not get to free range. They stay in their breeder pens. Once it is nice weather, I will alternate days when each pen can be let out to explore, as to not ever cross any of the birds. They will have to take turns.
That looks great and easy to set up. Do you have any issues with predators or snakes getting in though? That would be my biggest concern doing something similar
Thank you!! I always try to barter or reuse . I didn’t want to spend money on pens. And for 3 years we haven’t. The new ones were $100 off at tractor supply for Black Friday. Still really expensive but they function so well now. I will be covering the top with a bird cloth. I do not have any predator problems, Bonnie and Bear do an excellent job around the ranch.
Looks great! Do these chickens stay outside all the time, through winter etc? Just curious! I’ve always thought I needed coop space for each set so this is intriguing!
How many hens do you have in each breeding pen? Im assuming 1 male. How many eggs do you get to hatch out each week? How many chicks do you sell each week?
Around 9-10 hens and 1 Roo. Eggs that are layed are different per breed and depending on everything. It’s winter now so they are back and forth. Generally incubate about 60 every Friday, depending on how many hatching eggs sell. In the spring it will be most likely 120 or so eggs a week. The arctic blast has changed everything these past weeks. There are so many variables.
@@ParagonRidgeRanch do you have any trouble selling that many chicks? Are you in a large market area. I would like to hatch and sell locally but I can’t see selling that many chicks.
This looks awesome. We did one of these with a roof on it for a run off our main "free range" pen. Do you have any concerns with raccoons there, or does the mini donkey deal with that? We have had a raccoon issue on our farm for many years and I have to keep the birds locked up tight during the spring or I will lose birds. Great content, definitely worth a like and a sub! Thanks for sharing!
We put netting in the top, more so the birds don’t fly out. Predators are not an issue for us, the LGD’s take care of that for us;) the Donkey takes care of the sheep;)
@williamjenkins8566 I don’t. I still have to get NPIP certified if I was to sell over state lines. I started with shipped eggs this past spring and have been growing the.m all out. I’m now waiting for most all to lay. I have a feeling they might wait until Spring! If I do decide to mail eggs I will certainly announce it and create a site;) still a little early on my project;)

Nice set-up! I like the TSC chicken 8'x8' "kennels" with tops; however, I wish they were larger (at least 10'x10')
Everything looks great. I do learn things from you. 🐓🐣🐥

Do the chickens stay in there at night also. (Under the lean to pens?)
yes, the do not get to free range. They stay in their breeder pens. Once it is nice weather, I will alternate days when each pen can be let out to explore, as to not ever cross any of the birds. They will have to take turns.

We don’t, the livestock guardian dogs protect all our animals.

GEN POP. OMG so funny
LOL!! What would you call it? LOL we have breeder coops and the Gen pop is for all the rest;) we also have a Gentleman’s quarters;)
giddy up
How much were the pens on sale for? You have some beautiful chickens!
If I remember it was on sale for 349, 5 x 10 pen
You’re not worried about predators getting in over the top?
Plus, you’re very fortunate, if you get a decent wholesale price.
It looks terrific!!!!!

Are you going to put wire over the top to make it predator proof?
I didnt plan on it. Bonnie and Bear protect the whole ranch. I (knock on wood) have never lost chickens to any predator.
Freezer is best place to put them and order more chicks

Do you sell meran hatching eggs?? I Would love to have some
Not yet;) they are not laying ;(
@@ParagonRidgeRanch do you have a website? How much for a dozen shipped to va?
@williamjenkins8566 I don’t. I still have to get NPIP certified if I was to sell over state lines. I started with shipped eggs this past spring and have been growing the.m all out.

Can you tell me the details of the pens you got at tractor supply?
They are called Retriever dog kennels ;)
@@ParagonRidgeRanch do they keep predators out
How big are the pens? And how much were they?
5x10, you will have to look them up from Tractor Supply.
Can you link the pens?
a 12x12 is way to small for the amount of chickens you have, you can see they are dying to get out
