Pam here….you’re a kind humble, helpful teacher….you don’t talk down to people and you ENCOURAGE learning by DOING…OBSERVATION and RESEARCH. If you’re getting smack from trolls block them and shut them out. Smile. Share what you know…they can take or leave it. Can’t wait to see and hear more about your house build and homestead. FORGE ON!
I have been watching your chicken videos since last summer and I just wanted to let you know how informative they have been. I purchased my first chicks, 8 Barred Rocks a little over 4 weeks ago and they are doing great so far. I live in Texas and our outside temperature yesterday was around 80 degrees, the chicks had so much fun playing out. I just completed the chicken coop and run and I am looking forward to moving the chicks in there before to long. All of your videos have been so helpful for a newbie like myself, please keep up the great work.
I just found you! Love how informative you are and how you keep saying to research!
you are great
I’ve learned so much from you. Please continue to give us information. I have five little baby chicks I am learning.
We are in week three with our chicks. We have 10 chicks in the enclosed brooder you use. They are doing great, but getting big! Since we live in NW Wisconsin, and as I look out the window at about 4 inches of newly fallen snow, we have decided to move them to the garage in a week or so. I’m literally praying for warmer weather in the next few weeks! Thank you for another informative video. 😊🐥
I’m a fellow Wisconsinite and I am with you on hoping for warmer weather!! As soon as spring peaks through, we get more snow 😂
I live in Exeland just south of Hayward, we were in a path all winter we where were dumped on. So far we've had over eight feet of snow. Next week we should see above 50 degrees finally but cooler at night. I am building a coop and plan on getting my chicks in June so I can start them where they will be living. I plan on posting it on youtube, 90% will be built out of pallets I broke down and will be titled Pallet Coop build, just pictured with voice over but live with the finished coop. Good luck for all of for better weather.
South a couple hours in IL but staring my first flock. I'm a wi Native trying to survive my first year outside of the state. After always wanting to escape... ... I miss home! Post an update on your flock when you have time!
I use a very long and tall galvanized livestock tub that we were going to make a bathtub out of its still in a small bathroom upstairs I have a shelf that has a pole that I clamp my
Lamp to,it can swing so I can manage the temp as needed it’s high up on the pole so it’s perfect the bathroom stays warm but it’s not too hot .. I use newspaper on the bottom and paper towels on top for the layer method
Thank you for sharing this. I am one of those who was raised with raising chickens. My parents raised them inside too. However, I'm still afraid of doing it wrong and killing them all. There are also so many new strategies. Thank you for sharing all of these tips.
We decided to place the feed and water containers on a board if you have room.
We started our flock last year. Before that we had no chicken experience. Thank you for all your experience and information. We are always looking into other sources as you suggest but you have been a blessing for foundation and preventable problems. We are very lucky to have you as a resource! You have taught so many people so much! We appreciate you!
Hoping you might get a chance to see this comment. I'm starting my first flock. I'm from Wisconsin. Southern area. Beloit/Janesville. I now live south a couple hours in a small town renting an old farm house in Illinois. I've always wanted this kind of life. I follow you like its the chicken bible. (but please don't worry. I over research everything. You're not my only resource of info. 😅) growing up and living 30 years total in wi, I trust what you have to add. Thank you for making this video!
I also enjoying making youtube videos. I get the general want to actually help or educate others. Especially on a base level. Making information accessable to anyone! You're awesome.
Anyway. When it comes to caring for animals in this area; care for my current chicks and future chickens. It hits so close to home! I miss Wisconsin all the time, so seeing the snow behind you makes me feel home. Keep it up friend!!!!!
I know you have changed over to the brooder heater on you new chicks, I bought from Cackle they say the first few days that the brooder heater is not warm enough for chicks shipped in the mail. That the first few days the need to be 100 to 105. That their bodies have lost mass and need the extra heat. I kept mine on the heat lamp the first week then swapped to the heater. I have done several bunches like that and have had 0 loss.
I love your videos
I started out w 4wk old pullets. I spent so much money ( needlessly)read everything I could and watched utube,including you. It's been 5 years now and I just got 4 easter eggers. I built a hoop coop, everyone is integrated and free ranging. I'm still learning something new every day.
When I let my babies out,I put them in a rye grass spot. I gave them crumble,the sandy dirt was grit but I added store bought. When they came is they drank and passed out.
Great content. Thank you
Your amazing
Great video
Thank you for your great information! As a new chick mom you have helped me immensely. Started with 6 and have 6 that are 6 weeks old, just moved outside! Keep up the great chicken 🐔 Info!
Full time or a few hours a day?
@@angryrick2330 I guess it depends on your local weather. I've put my 5 week old out for only an hour in the sun in a pen. I sit right with them and they live eating the greens, and scratching the dirt.
Its only just warming to 70s, but a cool breeze. Today not going out because it's cold n cloudy.
Hello,
I have a 4 week + old chick. It's feathers aren't filling in very well and I think he has diarrhea. What should I do?
I just recently found you, have subscribed and watched several of your videos, always excited to find the time to watch more. I Love, love, love them!
I do wish you would share a little more of your knowledge. I realize it can be....difficult....because there are always those who will find fault and/or place blame, and, as you point out, no advice is "one size fits all". But, you give plenty of disclaimers about checking other sources and stating that any advice you do give being based on your own experience, so I think you're "protected" in that way. I think the number of people who would ignore those disclaimers and get their chicken feathers in a bind are dwarfed by the number of those who would be greatly benefited from any and all info you share. It would add to one's library of knowledge on the topic of raising barnyard/backyard chickens. Then, it's up to us to take that and go on to our other well-chosen sources for THEIR learned knowledge.
That is in NO WAY meant as a criticism, just something to consider...or not.... In the end, you know best what is best for you, and that's the right course of action. Obviously, you're doing a wonderful job with your chickens and in passing along the info and advice that you do share. Your videos are very well done, enjoyable (LOVE seeing the birds!) and, of course, are TREMENDOUSLY helpful. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking time out of your busy life to help others!
You’re the best! I bought chickens in December because watching your videos has helped me learn all about chickens.
My brand new brooder plate didn’t have instructions on height for chicks so I took a pic and posted in backyard Chicken forum. Plenty of people on there that helped me.
We have a small backyard flock and have all different breeds of chickens in it; to help keep track of their health and know their personalities better. This past spring we decided to add a few more the the flock. We purchased black & blue copper Marans eggs and put them under a broody hen. The day after the eggs started hatching be tried to add a day old barnevelder & wyandotte. The mother hen rejected the additions and we had to raise them inside. We had a blue & a black copper Marans growing out with mumma hen & the other 2 with us in the house. I found that the chicks that grew up with mumma were growing much faster and had all their feather come in quicker, they are slightly shy to us now as they haven’t started laying yet but it’s not to the point that would cause any concern, they are calm when we are around.. they just like to keep a little distance. The chicks we raised inside did make a lot of mess and were smelly, we would do a clean out for the brooder at least twice a day and we also had that wet paper towel issue a few times but because we were cleaning so often, it wasn’t an issue. To avoid it happening unnecessarily, we would take the water out at night and put it back in the morning (I think the night time spills were mainly from the cat jumping up to watch the chicks sleeping). We tried doing outside time as much as possible as the chicks were growing but still found a big difference in feather development. Now our chick are all outside in the same flock and the ones raise by mumma hen are clearly larger and just look like their feathers are healthier. Even though the chicks who were raise by hand got cuddles multiple times a day while in the house, they still don’t like to be held/cuddled/ patted now that they are outside so I don’t think we’ve seen that benefit that people talk about. It also took them a few weeks to assimilate into the flock which was clearly stressful for them. I’d say (from my experience) raising them yourself works fine if you need to but the ones raised by mumma hen seem healthier and happier in the flock.
If people are confused about the timeline, I’m in Australia so when I say spring.. chick hatch date was 06/11/2022
I didn't do chick girt, and let me tell you, I regret it... They are about 2 months now and have sour crops, I'm pretty sure...
I am using sand as opposed to bedding. I saw this on a couple of other sites. It's been working great. My chixs are now 4 weeks old and getting huge! And no dust!
Where do you get your sand? Is it like beach sand or playbox sand?
@@mandywescott707 I was told NOT to get playbox sand, but rather, construction sand. Maybe somebody else can validate this....
I thought fermented feed was only for adult chickens.
Questions: 1) Do we get up in the night to keep checking on chicks and for how long?
2) Should we NOT use Zeolite in the chick pen?
Can’t find these answers.
The chicks will tell you if it’s too hot or cold. When using a heat lamp and the chicks pile on each other, it’s too cold. If it’s too warm, the lay further from the light.
Nice content! I'm getting my info from lots of sources too, but when I have to recommend, I link the videos from you guys. :)
Do I need food and water containers inside the coop for night time or just outside in the run?
Is that radiant heater enough on its own for a dozen chicks?
Hi My name is Nancy and really have enjoyed watching your videos. We have found them to be very interesting and informative. My husband and live on acreage in East TN. We have a mix variety of chicken breads and will be purchasing a few more chicks on Monday. My problem is, I haven’t been able to free range my chickens because of my dog and hawks! Our dog prior to this one, protected the chickens from the hawks as we babysat. Sadly he passed away. From the beginning this dog has always jumped on the coop & shown aggression. We have tried the same methods of reward training with no success. I’m afraid instinct will cause him to hurt or kill the chickens. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
I've got 32 coming on 6 wks, 0 loss so far, went from the house to the shed yesterday. Multiple thermometers and a blink security camera...
Do you have to keep a radiant heat brooder on even when no one's home and all night?
Absolutely!😮 it's for the chicks to stay warm as they would if they had a momma looking after them, and keeping them warm enough. My house is 60ish, new chicks need 30° warmer 😊
We used one of those puppy brooders. My dog (who had been fine, until I left the house) crushed all but one chick. So my tip is never trust your dogs, or make sure you put a tent brooder in a latched area
I heard a story on how one my friends chicks died bc she put "toys" in their brooder
I used the natural hemp bedding to reduce dust in my indoor chicks and there’s very little dust with the hemp.
I have never lost a chick, and I use a heat lamp with a thermometer from the feed store. It includes lines marking the temperatures for each age of the chicks. As they need less heat, you just move it farther away and watch the thermometer. I also give them lots of room so they can move away from or closer to the heat if they feel too cold or hot. I raised 6 my first time and they all lived. Two roos had to be rehomed, but the 4 remaining hens are a year old and doing great. I now have 2 that are almost 3 weeks, and they are thriving.
I see you got hit with the latest snow to huh , I dislike the snow but thnx & is pepper flakes really good for chickens or chicks.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
?? The internet says americana/easter eggers produce about 4 eggs a week. Is that true??
I really want to add them to my flock.
Living off grid, solar power everything, heat lamps drained our batteries and we found the chicks looking lethargic almost. So weird. SO..we switched to the brooder plates. They loved it, used it according to instructions! Totally recommend the plate vs the lamp 100%
I get about 5, some weeks 4. They are good birds th o have. Very friendly 😊
Good to know about brooder plates, the 250 watt bulb is very expensive to run for 6 weeks!😢. I did it for 4, then got a 150 ceramic "bulb", just moved it closer.
With increase in interest eggs because of the economy, chicks had been hard to get.
For me this caused a problem I never thought about. I wanted to get chicks as soon as possible so the egg production as son as possible.
Even going to different feed stores, they would be nearly sold out within 30 minutes! So I was buy what ever they had.
So I ended up with different age classes in the brooder. So some of the chicks I got were much older/bigger than the more recent purchases.
Any way they would get suffocated during the night. So I lost 4 to being suffocated. Then I had one (Easter Egger) that when ever she got knocked down, she would lay there playing opossum. When I would pick her up she would jump up and take off. Well she fell over with just her head in the water and drown!😢
Then one (Dominique) got sick and died!
Oddly, I had the most problem with Easter Eggers. I bought 6 (3+3) one week apart and only have one left!
Everyone is now at least 5 weeks old so they scatter out better now.
I do use the heat lamp on my brooder...the brooder is big enough they can get away from it if the want too. But the night I turned the lamp off because I thought they were too hot was the night I lost the most chicks. It got a lot colder that night than predicted!
And keep watch for that whole time. (In small pen area when you take them outside for mini trips. 75° here, 1 hour, then back inside under their lamp.
Was told no more that One week difference in age because the elders will be way too much bigger. They double in size very fast.
The place you buy chicks should have a nice handout with temps for your babies.
Charles, they need access to that heat 100% for 6 weeks, starting from 95, 90, 85, 80. Each for 2 weeks at a time. 5 weeks they have most feathers, but still tender little things.
I got that same nipple drinker because of your recommendation and I love it. I was nervous about them figuring it out because they’d been using the other kind with their breeder. Obviously they did. But I love that they cant get the water nasty. I did somehow scare them away from the brooder plate and had to send them back under there one by one when I raised it though because they just huddled in a corner all together for a while and wouldn’t go back under it. I almost feel like if I hadn’t noticed and gone back in there, would they have figured out that they needed to go back under for warmth?
I have 10 chicks about a week and a half old. I built a brooder box today and moved them from a cardboard box in the house to the garage.im using phone book paper for bedding. I have a coop heater pad and a heat lamp located on one side and a cold side on the other. I built a couple levels to roost on. I have insulation draped over the brooder for tonight.
We started raising chicks last summer, first time. We lost 2 by the second day. Finding the right temp with a heat lamp is hard. I moved the heat lamp up and down on the side of our door. It was a 200 watt red light, it needed to be like 5 feet away to keep it the 101 like they say. We put a thermometer in with the chicks until week 7. Very temperamental to keep at correct temp but we did it.
Yes please
Watching this even though my chicks are already big enough to be outside haha
Are there any videos on this channel/posts on the blog about how to amend soil with, shall we say, chicken fertilizer? I know quite literally nothing about it.
I live in central FL where temps outside are already in the 80's. My chicks are only a week old but I'm wondering at what age can they go outside to 'play' for short (supervised) periods?
I use a humans heating pad.
When I had sick chicks I fed them kefir perked them right up
Okay, so maybe a morbid question, but what do you do with a chick that has died (or even a full grown hen)? What would be the most humane way as compared to just “throwing it in the trash”?!
I wrapped my 2 babies in paper towel and set them deep in the compost pile. Unfortunately, lost a 1 year old hen, so put them by her.
you're so gorgeous
👍🏻😎
