I don't have a rooster so when one of our girls go broody i go down to our local hatchery (Cackle hatchery) i purchase day old chicks and put them with the broody girl and let her raise them. Usually I slip them under her at night. We have had the best luck with this method when the hen does this in August.
My grandparents received chicks in the mail via Sears and Roebuck’s catalog, and it worked just fine for them (and they’d have never had that access to those chicks without the mail!)
The chirpy chicks at the post office are both so relieving (because they’re alive) and apologetic (because half the time the workers look at you like they’re *your fault* for being so chatty) 🤣
Hey guys!!! 👋Just a tip from a former hair stylist ✂️... if you get Sayla's (spelling?) hair cut 💇♀️into long layers, it will help celebrate her pretty curls because. I wish I had her pretty curls. 💖
Thank you, Mike, I am so tired of the Walt Disney anthropomorphism of livestock. You did such a good job of explaining very young poultry and waterfowl. We did layer chicks in November of 2018 and had new eggs in the baskets in May of 2019. Although our weather is not conducive for doing broilers this late in the year, we are in the high-mountain desert of central Idaho, our weather is quite a bit colder than yours. My husband and I enjoy your videos. Seeing you and Lacy and the children. Also, I am looking forward to when you have baby goats on the homestead too. (smile)
Also, for the record and to top off Mr. Mike's info about shipped chicks.... When they hatch, they have ingested an entire yolk for lots of protein and to sustain them through the next couple of days. So shipping 2 day for chicks, is not as traumatic as one might think.
@@blackpackhomesteadchrisand7337 I'm actually going to pick up my first set of hatching eggs on Monday! I can't WAIT! There will be 3 each of Black, Buff, and Chocolate Orpington eggs! My incubator is already on getting ready for them. Soooo stoked! Can't wait to have baby chicks in the house again!
Howdy from central Michigan 🤠 . We did the same thing this fall and ordered 25 black Australorp chicks. We keep the heat lamps on for them longer in the fall than in the spring. In fact when they get moved to the coop we have a couple of lights hanging for them to help with the temperature transition because it's mighty cold out there. But they will go into egg production nicely in early spring 2021 which would be their normal cycle. We got our chicks from mcmurray also. I really like the brooder you have . Long and narrow. Very practical shape . Thanx for the great videos . Really got some good ideas from your channel. You and your wife are really wonderful teachers. Stay safe and healthy in these challenging times. Keep on keep'n on . Happy homesteading 🌞
I once raised, 12 chicks in a March that turned cold and rainy. We used a red light and put them in a wired old wooded TV cabinet covered in old quilts. This contraption was placed in the barn, no other heat. Lost one.
Intresting info on new born chickens and ducks not needing food, makes so much sense. I am moving to a more rural area next year and looking forward to getting chickens
thank you Mike for telling me that i don't need a rooster to get eggs . ! I guess i wont go to bed stupid tonight lol .( seriously I was wondering about that) I had no clue. love you guys all the way from Gatineau Quebec!
Its so much easer to have incubator chics, much cheaper and you can buy a large cornish rooster and cross with what ever you choose, i like leghorn or Rhode island, so if the world turns bad bad you can raise your own. we raise our own, chooks, quail, ducks cost us 21 days and then the same as your doing know, it cost far less to feed to breeding chooks over buying the day olds. its just an idea.
Hey Mike! Josh here from Homestead Overland (used to be Back of Beyond)....good stuff man! We finished our last batch of broilers 3rd week of September. But hey, we've had chicks in our brooder over the worst part of winter (granted they were our laying flock). I think the earliest we've started broilers on pasture is March here in the western highlands of Virginia- but it's a delicate balance bc we've had some really bad weather @ that time of year. Especially brutal winds!!
I have 25 each Cornish cross and Pekin coming this week. I will be following you as I go on my journey as well. North Carolina vs North Texas grow off time.. lol
Cute babies! Good for you. I will be interested to see how the ducks grow and developer. I enjoyed your video on duck processing. You will be busy. We will order our next batch of chicks from local feed store likely in Feb or March. We are going to try and get them raised before our California sun gets super hot. June is too late for us. We have learned. 😀😅
This was great information Mike I appreciate it this is my first year as a homesteader back in the spring we got six chicks turned out that one of them was a rooster so you've been getting eggs for a few months now and I finally decided to take advantage of this rooster situation I build a diy incubator and I've just handled a couple of the eggs and it looks like we have progress so this information has come at a perfect time because I did not know some of these things
Anytime you have the time is the right time. I'm in south Alabama so we can do chickens pretty much all year. Actually it is easier now than summer. The heat can be brutal on them and a mess to process also. Kids love baby chicks and ducklings so it helps keep them interested. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
Michael, I loved your basic explanation of why chicks and ducklings can be shipped during that little window....and why a rooster is not always needed. I smiled with you. Super job!
Fall is a good time for us too. I bought chicks in July, in AZ. I thought the rains would cool us off, and they'd be fine, but the rains never came! I ended up with 10 chicks in the house for 5 weeks, because it was 110 all month and I worried the heat would kill them. They all survived surprisingly, even though it was still horribly hot when I put them outside. Chickens are amazingly resilient, and I hope to have eggs by December
We may try that and get some chicks started now for our laying flock. Thank you for the idea! Crazy on the prices of lumber! We payed $20+ more for the lumber for our pallets we make for our honeybees.
That lumber should go down in price a little in another month. Short version: supply chain issues and high demand caused huge spikes. It won’t go back to what it was because building demand is nuts and we are trying to normalize prices with 🇨🇦.
We just got our cornish x last week! We prefer raising them in the cooler months in Texas. They are little heaters and the average weight seems heavier than in the warmer months.
Probably better for them to be processed in cooler weather less ice too buy when processing the Chicks prices on everything has doubled 😳Especially food keep safe Guys 👻🎃Josiah & Mika working so hard 🎃👻Those Little ducklings we’re thirsty 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
Hi beautiful Dickson family! 🤗 An amazing and informative video! The baby chicks and ducklings are so cute and cuddly! 😊 Stay blessed and safe! 🦋10/19/20🦋
You're not crazy. Its late December, The chicks from the spring are laying good now. I picked up 4 new chicks in October, then hatched 14 from an incubator 3rd December. So come spring well have a bunch of new layers. I've never put a chicks beak in the water, they always figure it out on their own. I use a big dog crate as the base for my brooder in the kitchen. As they feather out i move them to the greenhouse, and later to a mini coop and run. Lastly they move in with the big hens.
I was away for almost 4 weeks. My chickens started laying eggs while I was gone. I'm getting 4 a day right now. Hopefully that will increase soon. We won't have babies, as we had to execute our rooster before I got back, leaving us with 12 total. I'm getting 2.3 dozen eggs per week at the moment. : )
Our youngest two grand-daughters (5 & 9 years old) would love to see those chicks! I learned something new with this video, keep up the good work, we enjoy seeing your videos!
With Salehs help and her natural way with baby animals I think you are set for success. She is definitely like a bird mama. The boys are good too they are more practical and do what has to be done. Micah is getting so big its like he was a baby not long ago and now he is a todler going on preteeanger. Each of the kids are so precious and have their own things they are inclined to. Its great seeing kids that are polite, curious and hands on. I know that maybe they are not always little angels but from what we see they are little angels. I have worked in schools and quit because the average school kids are wild and unruly with no curiosity or wish to learn and have no sense of authority nor do they care about rules and obligations. If i had 25% of the kids like yours are I would have probably staying in teaching just for them The reality is 1 kid out of 100 are like that. It must be great for Lacie to work with them. You and Lacie are growing some fine upstanding and outstanding kids into greaf adults. Keep doing what you are doing. Growing more of your own meat is important. Maybe in spring you could get more dual purpose breeds in case things go south you have some that can produce chicks that are also dual purpose. ❤
I agree Mike. We process our first batch of 25 Cornish cross and just started processing our meat rabbits. It’s our first time doing it all and I think we’ll start it all over again as soon as we finish processing all these. It’s imperative to be prepared for the upcoming years ahead of us! ❤️
THANK YOU for TEACHING us ABOUT EGGS and TRAVELING. There's so much for us to LEARN. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY. That was a bummer. Come home and return to the p.o. THANK YOU LORD FOR THE ⛽TIMING THE TRIPS.
My husband argued with me recently telling me I did not know anything because you have to have a rooster to produce eggs. I had to ask Siri to prove it to him. I will add that he grew up around chickens, his mother raised chickens for eggs and meat birds to sell in their village in South America.
Greetings friends!! It's great to grow your own food.Peking is a good choice on the ducks. They are much easier to pluck. We use a drum type plucker. It works really good. Muscovy ducks much more difficult. Stay strong and grow on.
What a great idea to get chicks in the fall to have the egg layers ready to lay in the spring. I would love to see a video where you compare taste of chicken to duck eggs. I always hear the duck eggs are better for baking. Is there a recipie Lacie could test or have the kids do a taste test to see which they like best. Would also be interested to know how roasted duck tastes in comparison to roasted chicken. Have you ever harvested and roasted goose? What do these meats taste like? What are your family's favorite recipes for these birds?
Sandra Westley, Both taste lovely, darker meat from the ducks but still lovely and tasty, I especially love a duck leg and thigh roasted slowly with crispy skin, breast is best eaten slightly pink.
Greetings Friends!!Another GREAT,EDUCATIONAL VIDEO!!! Thanks for sharing. I’ve always wanted to live on a farm since I can remember... seems so peaceful... heaven on earth! I’m not a homesteader but I thoroughly enjoy your videos... keep ‘em coming!!
As far south as you are you have plenty of time. It’s not like you are way up here in the UP of Michigan like I am. They won’t be having any heat stress right now! ☮️❤️☕️-Kirsten
I don’t think you’re crazy. Once we get out of the city and into the country where I can have poultry and fowl, I’ve thought about doing the same myself. Why not? They have to grow and be X age to start producing eggs anyway, why not do that growing over the winter?
This was an interesting video of the babies. It's good to know that they can go that long without food and water. Thanks a bunch for the info. Have a beautiful week y'all
I don't have a rooster so when one of our girls go broody i go down to our local hatchery (Cackle hatchery) i purchase day old chicks and put them with the broody girl and let her raise them.

The yellow chicks looks like the Easter candy Peeps so now I'm looking forward to Easter!!! 🐔 😂 😅 😅
I didn't know that about chicks not eating for the first few days of life. Thanks for that.
The chirpy chicks at the post office are both so relieving (because they’re alive) and apologetic (because half the time the workers look at you like they’re *your fault* for being so chatty) 🤣
Hey guys!!! 👋Just a tip from a former hair stylist ✂️... if you get Sayla's (spelling?) hair cut 💇♀️into long layers, it will help celebrate her pretty curls because. I wish I had her pretty curls. 💖
You’re doing a great job educating a lot of people I really appreciate your work thank you!
Them boys enjoying the peep show 😂
You explained about chicks very well. This video is a science lesson. I ask Dear God humbly to Bless you and your family.🍋🐤🌸💐🐮🥜🐚🥀🦋🐥🏏🐔🐣🍿🌻🍁🍎🍓🐰🌈🍄🍑🌺🌼🌷🌹🕌🌹
My kids love when we get chicks too.
I found my meat chickens do better in cooler weather. When I've raised in the summer I tend to lose more to heat stroke.
its been TOO hot so long here i now have two batches to process! thankfully this week is to cool iff so i started setting up today!
Last time I needed a brooder I used one of those big cardboard watermelon boxes. It worked great.
You know, ive always been around chickens. I never stopped to think about that 3 day window you explained so well. Right on!
Thank you, Mike, I am so tired of the Walt Disney anthropomorphism of livestock. You did such a good job of explaining very young poultry and waterfowl. We did layer chicks in November of 2018 and had new eggs in the baskets in May of 2019.

My husband and I enjoy your videos. Seeing you and Lacy and the children. Also, I am looking forward to when you have baby goats on the homestead too. (smile)
I did that for 9. They all lived and are 3 months old. That is a lot of work.
Might cost a bit more when the grass and weeds are gone and not there to supplement your grain but it's definitely more security.
I see no problems. I’m hatching eggs on my homestead right now.
We have an incubator full at the moment too. (grins)
I have 80+ in the incubator, I like raising chicks in the cooler months also.
you're taking me home to the farm, Mike, to a dome shaped brooder house, the smell of fresh ground corn cobs and 1000 peeping chicks.
Aww...I just wanna take them all out and smell that baby chick scent! Lol!
Baby chicks ! They are so cute ,I would want to hold the box to !
Production never stops. Your attitudes on life are commendable and your work ethic is outstanding.
Also, for the record and to top off Mr. Mike's info about shipped chicks.... When they hatch, they have ingested an entire yolk for lots of protein and to sustain them through the next couple of days. So shipping 2 day for chicks, is not as traumatic as one might think.
Also the hatchery will put in a gel substance that meets any water issues, just in case they are held up somewhere.
@@diannevaldez8670 Yes! Absolutely this. I realized I forgot that part a few hours after I commented. LOL!
When you hatch you own it saves a ton of aggravation.
@@CarolinaGirlCreationZ🐣🎉result, fluffy babies!!! Yess!

Perhapse you should also stock your pond with fish you can harvest all year around.
Good for you my brother family comes first.
Mike would you have time to show how you set up your irrigation system?

I like how kids help and take care of chickens 🐓 and ducks, thank you for the video

It also depends where u live as to what the last timeframe is to get chicks..
Thank you for the info! Husband thought I was nuts to raise some new baby chicks now but I want them laying by spring ! Feeling it was a smart idea!😉
Thank you.

The deals on the chicks right now are bonkers haha McMurray has meat chickens for $2!
Our local feed supply place is $5 a piece! I said no thanks, I could get one from Walmart for that price!

Yes...its harder to care for in Winter ( rain, wind, snow) in my area..but I love having eggs sooner.
You are doing good Job. Try to upload more videos related Chickens in detail on different topics. LOVE from Pakistan.

Thank you kindly, for blessing us with that chicken lesson. Good to know information. God bless.
That was a really good synopsis. I hope many people heard it to really understand what’s going on when you’re raising fowl.
Yes, interesting indeed
You guys bless and encourage me so much. Just want you to know that.
Thank you. Great info. Love your passion! Both for the homestead lifestyle and the education you share.
So interesting.

Yes! Keep them indoors until the Spring or Summer!
Once they are feathered out and bigger they do fine as long as they have shelter.
How many weeks does it take for them to feather generally?
@@sunesissam1572 3-5 weeks
I always learn so much from you!!! Great job!
Thanks ! Good explanations. We have chicks too. Thinking of spring too....when people will need pullets ready to lay.

Hi neighbor! Michigan here too!
I don’t think you’re crazy. Once we get out of the city and into the country where I can have poultry and fowl, I’ve thought about doing the same myself. Why not? They have to grow and be X age to start producing eggs anyway, why not do that growing over the winter?
