Keeping free ranging chickens is so much more humane. That’s a great way to keep the birds healthy. I can’t imagine how you keep predators from getting to them.
Those folic acid numbers are wild.
Also love "Express their chickeness"
Seriously! Who needs a prenatal vitamin when she can eat one of Joel’s eggs.
there is no folic acid in nature. nature produces methyl folate.. read on it..
happy chickens make super eggs! I am happy to hear you validate the older girls. I've been breeding my own dual purpose heritage hens since I first got started 8 years ago. I love them smart, and sweet.
I could not agree with you more. I love your vision on farming and animal welfare. Keep up the good work. Best regards Norman Bakker

This is beautiful. I'm just starting to increase from a few hens to, well we will see how many, but more in any case. thank you for doing and sharing this.
God bless
Rhode Island Reds are my favorite egg layers. They are reliable.
We have chickens in the city and my husband tells everyone they are they best eggs. They have a huge yard to run around and are happy. We get enough for our family and once a month I'll freeze fritatas. I like your set up and might try somethings like this that doesnt move. I need a new coop but maybe a lean to would work. My birds prefer to be out and they sleep on a strip of wood by our dog house because they think they belong to his flock and he patrols at night and if they are close to him they survive better. In city still have possum, owls, racoons, and a fox that keeps coming trying to sneek in a few times, but thankfully, our dog is always ended up between the fox and the chickens. I can see from my room at night the whole backyard. Think the chickens also like to sleep where they doo instead of in their pen or coop is because they can see me through the window and one especially loves to talk to me and get my attention in the window so ill come cuddle her.
Thank you! Blessings
Very interesting. Good video
Glad you think so!
What breeds are you using. I recognize the barred rocks, but not the dark headed reds.
We have a small area of land with 12 chickens but we keep them in an enclosed wire-mesh dome structure. We've had a lot of trouble with land predators, anyone have good ideas to combat this?
#naturalgramma
so what routine do you have. you close the nests at night for clean eggs. Other people put them enclosed at night for safety and lay eggs at night. Is it okay?
correction eggs produce methyl folate .. not folic acid.. huge difference and far healthier
How do you tell which hens are older?
No Orpington's?
#aluminumchichentractor
You mention heritage breeds at 4:04 as a more sustainable choice than the improved varieties of laying hens. My first chickens are the White Rocks (like my grandmother had when I was a small boy), NH Reds, Orpington, Sussex, and Wyandotte as a variety of well known breeds. All the cockatoos will be processed as I venture into meat birds.. I listen to you talk about all the Government propaganda that supports tax revenue and depletes resources. My chickens are a manure factory because I'm tired of paying for bags of soil made from recycled waste. Garden waste, fruit waste, yard clippings, its all processed by the chickens as premium compost with minimal inputs.
