    Y’all have done an amazing job with the chicken copes and the chickens I am so proud of both of you

    Looks like the babies and the bigger chics are doing just fine.

    No bloodshed 😅that’s good. I hear roosters make great friers if you have too many. lol 😂 Glad the chickens are all behaving. Bears gotta eat too lol 😂 looks like you have a good safe setup. Yes, very successful! Good night to all the chicks 🐥 🐥 🐥 🐥 🐥 🐥 🐥

      Yep no blood so far. lol We did cull one that was very mean. He had to go. These little birds just don't have any meat on them is the issue. They are all fluff. The bear is pretty cool as long as I never get caught outside with it. lol Thanks for watching buddy. So far this worked well for my first time. Got another round coming up in a few weeks then done for the year with merging chickens.

    That was good integration.Rod Stewart is a pecker😂 Boss! They all seem to be getting along perfectly. Just be on the look out for a Small Bear on the hunt.

      Thanks y'all. Rod Stewart is something else for sure. Might need to be fried at some point. lol So far all is good in the coop. I saw the cub but you know mama is somewhere close. Hope not to see her. lol She would tear me a new one.

    Pecking order 😅
    Interesting idea to let them smell and see each other first.
    So funny roosters don’t like the camera.
    So how many chickens do you have now?
    Predator visit? Yikes.
    Bear? Wants the chicken food 😉
    You guys seem to have this all in hand. Experts now 🤗

      Yep they fight over who is going to be in charge. It's pretty much like humans when they first get married. lol Yeah it really seemed to help as opposed to just tossing them in their like a lot of people do. In the end after getting rid of a few Roo's we should be around 40 chickens. Want be adding anymore for a bit. Yep we have a lot of predators around here. In the sky and on the ground. The baby bear was cool, but don't want to run into momma. We are trying but a long way from experts. So much to learn and it changes everyday. Thanks for watching y'all. Enjoy the trip out west. Never did most of the northwest. Heard it's amazing. I know for sure Idaho is. I love it. One of my favorite states.

    We do the same thing. We have a starter pen inside the bigger pen. Works great. Sorry to hear about the bear. I love your coop, really nice. Thanks William!

      Well he is alive. lol Great to hear from you old man. We are trying. Yeah seemed to help keeping them together but apart. We got one more round in a week then done with new chickens for the year. Thanks on the coop. Hope y'all are enjoying the panhandle and not staying sober. hahaha

    Very interesting way to get aquatinted . Would that work on people? Old Rod has to have a voice in everything. He had a song called scarred and scared, if you ever get a chance to listen to it, its pretty cool. We didn’t have an Easter egg hunt cause eggs are to expensive to boil a dozen or so and color. Great video and thanks for showing Rod the raspy rooster. Stay safe with there bears around. Thanks friends.👍🤗👏❤️🐇👀🤔🫣

      Yeah so far seems to have worked very well. They still mess with the new chicks a little but nothing to bad. I have no cure for people. We are unfixable. lol Rod is a loud mouth. Very funny when we bring the camera in. He goes crazy. Will check the song out. Eggs seem to come down and go back up in price. It's crazy hard to keep up . Rod says hello. lol Yeah I don't fight with bears. Got an uncle who did and lost pretty hard. lol That is a real story. Thanks for watching y'all.

    You guys are getting a large flock going. Magen crapped herself when you said you have a home for the rooster. I told her I told you I would take him! LOL.. Looks really good guys. We will plan a weekend day to come visit soon!

    • @SmallSpaceLiving
      @SmallSpaceLiving  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching y'all. Yeah we are getting there. We got one more batch to move in after a couple of weeks then done for the year. That is funny on the rooster. Come on and get him. He is ready. lol You are welcome anytime. Can't wait to see y'all again. Been to long.

    Wow you’ve had the first ones for almost a year already? I really do love those fluffy headed ones. I always thought they kinda looked like that one actress with kind of crazy hair. But can’t think of her name for anything. They all seem to have merged together well. That’s great that it doesn’t seem to have effected the egg production. You have a nice flock!

    • @SmallSpaceLiving
      @SmallSpaceLiving  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep a year has gone fast. They really are great chickens. We have some more with the fluffy hair and some some that will have something similar on their feet. The ones with the fluffy heads are Polish. So far the merger has gone great. Now we get to do this one more time and done for the year. lol I think I get more stressed than they do. hahaha
