    I wasn't expecting a dinosaur in with the chicks but one of Mr. Browns shoes would seem completely normal. 🙂

    Why fully depend on external hatcheries? Better to always have capacity to breed/incubate on-farm?

    I also recommend getting pullets. They are around 18 weeks old, no need for all of the hassle of chicks (if one sees it as a hassle that is) and they start laying in a week to 3 weeks!....question for you though...would you recommend the magic juice for pullets when we first bring them home?

    We want to get chickens soon. We plan a very small flock of 5 or 6 primarily for eggs first in a coup in our garden. I would also like to build a chicken tractor to move them around our property but the grass goes brown here very early in the season. Will this be ok to run the chicken tractor on or should I avoid brown grass areas. Thank you.

    my best firend lost his leg due to bare feet around farm animals.
    he picked up a germ an infection in his bone.
    so i wonder about your bare feet, not that i know anything.

    Looks more complicated than necessary, imo.
    I've had success with just the following:
    *Up to 4 wks:*
    1 Grow box/container + a 60W incandescent light (to keep them warm)
    2. Refresh their water daily (clean the container weekly)
    3. Just starter/grower feed (no need for any kind of risky fermented feed)
    *After 4 wks:*
    4. Access to grower feed, chicken scratch, compost bugs+worms, & clover/grass
    5. Small grit & crushed sea shells for calcium
    *If/when they appear a bit sickly* (which can happen once or twice a year), I give them medicated grower feed (which contains Amprolium which is a coccidiostat and aids in coccidiosis prevention during the first few critical weeks. Older chicks and adult hens are generally able to fight the bacteria off once their immune systems have developed--but, I've found it helps older hens too, so I mix it with the chicken scratch for a few days & all is right again with the chickens in a few days.
    *That's it!* I don't do anything else & I've never lost a chick/hen. Also, most of my hens (Rhode Island Reds) lay an egg each day (ocassionally skipping a day, when molting, or when it becomes very cold)--but then I live in Houston, so the temps rarely affect egg laying production.
    Chickens are the best compost turners that you will never have to pay to make fantastic garden soil for free!
    They will turn your compost every day searching for bugs, grubs, & worm that are great for their health & free food that you don't have to pay for!
    Oh..and I *sifted dry clay soil* with fine aluminum window screen to make a nice powdery *clay dust bath for them* . I put that under a 4-post lean to with a tarp cover to prevent the rain from wetting it so that it is nice, dry, & loose any time they want to flap around in it

    Will the adult chickens hurt the young chicks? At what age can we introduce the younglings with the adults?

    Ha our little Australorp chicks are in our kitchen right now too! We went to the bike shop and got carboard and then made a huge box as they are 2 and a half weeks old now. I then went and got some fir sticks and made roost bars for them. I am quickly becoming a crazy chicken lady. I lost one of my Mille Fleur Belgium D'uccle Bantam chicks and cried. They are my favorite.
    Great video. :)
