    I just learned that you can let the feed sit over night in water. It doubles in size. ;)
    Can you have someone gather restaurant scraps. Give the scraps to the chickens. What they don't eat turns to rich compost.. It should provide other vitamins they need for free or nearly free. Thoughts from Houston Tx.

    • @annburge291
      @annburge291 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you use whole grains like rooster mix you can soak it three days to ferment the grains. This makes it more bioavailable. Need to check the cost in your area but rabbit food ( mainly alfalfa) can be soaked for a few minutes and added at the last minute to the fermented grains if you cannot grow enough leafy greens because it's winter, drought etc. I crush the egg shells and feed it back to the chickens'. I still give egg laying mix in the morning.

    • @annburge291
      @annburge291 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Chickens can also supplement their diet with rabbit droppings ( pre digested alfalfa). One suspends the rabbit hutches from the chicken coop rafters and the chickens forage below. One rabbit per hutch.

    • @FarmUp
      @FarmUp  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh wow. Planning of getting rabbits onto the farm. Maybe I'll be able to do that. Nice.
      And...my feeds are not while grains, they are milled to small pieces. Can that be fermented?

    • @reginagarvey7994
      @reginagarvey7994 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it can!

  • @annburge291
    @annburge291 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Lovely simple design and sophisticated. I would have liked you to explain in more depth the thick woodchip mulch and metal sheeting around the walls for your followers that are just starting out. It's a very important cleanliness issue when chicken coops are near houses. Chicken droppings directly on dirt stinks and is a health hazard. Hang a slotted maggot bucket in the coop to clean up the few flies that maybe in the area. Flies love laying eggs in liver and the maggots can develop in compost and crawl out the slots. It can only be supplementary food in my area because we run out of flies. Your perches respect the pecking order. Having the coop that big allows it to be divided into two with a connecting door incase you want to have various roosters. If a gutter is attached to the roof and the rain water collected in a barrel covered with mosquito netting, one can have a handy water supply.

    • @FarmUp
      @FarmUp  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ann I love your wisdom. Had completely not thought about the rain water. Will get a gutter so we keep more water.
      And we never have a problem with flies.

      Anna we live with tropical storms and cyclones - rain that comes at us horizontally. Wire is expensive and wouldn't slow the rain and wind anyway. So we used pallets (one on top of the other) for the full height of the wall and then nailed feed bags on the inside of the pallets. (Tarps that would withstand the wind are expensive here, but feed bags work great!) There's still loads of gaps so the rain and wind still gets in but not enough to bother them at all. Luckily the wind dries the floor soon after the rain stops so it's not a slushy mess for long. Good luck!

    Dr. Daniel. I see you have the sides open with a metal skirt around the bottom. What is the purpose of this? You mentioned that the rain is not a problem and that the aeration throughout the structure is the most important thing. Where I live it dry for 6 months and then rainy season for 6 months. The rainy season starts off slow and then intensifies to monsoon for the last 1.5 months. Do you have seasons like this? Does your wood chip floor and your chickens stay dry when it rains very hard? How do keep your chickens healthy and from getting sick during the rainy season?
