Please consider writing a book or a series of books (or maybe recommend some already written) that covers every single thing you need to know to keep chickens.
Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, food, herbs, diseases, culling, cleaning preparing for food, etc.
it’s overwhelming when the information is so scattered out there on TH-cam in different places.
Thank you for everything you are doing!❤
We have about 25 hens and 1 bantam rooster. We are getting 26 new hens and 14 Guineas next week 😁 Our other guineas were killed by predators. They cleaned our land of any ticks and chiggers. We also are preparing for the LOCUSTs (free food for our poultry). Our grown hens are 2-3 years old. We have 1 jersey heifer I am milking and a 4 month old female calf. I love all of these animals. I too like to use herbal and natural remedies.
Hi, we live in western NC, so guinies resolve chigger problems ?
I put vinegar in there water frequently and garlic occasionally. I also give them the herbs I make my tea out of. ie. Mullein stinging nettle, marshmallow, echinacea etc.
I add oregano and cayenne to my chicken food and then ferment it for 24 hours. They also get some dry feed each day. I add apple cider vinegar to their water at all times.
Everything is preventative. Thus far, THANKFULLY, I've never had a sick chicken. I've only had chickens for 3 years so maybe it's going to happen at some point. But I think the preventive things It seems that the preventive things I do is keeping them healthy. Also I pray for them here and there. 😊
Heather needs a TH-cam channel!! I really enjoyed this discussion and learned a lot. Thank you ladies!
I have been putting oregano 1 drop, lavender, lemon, and peppermint essential oils, 3 drops each in a spray bottle of water. After I do a quick daily cleaning of the coop, I spray their roost and walls of the coop.
Keeps it smelling fresher, helps with flies, helps keep the mites, lice, and other pests away. I also sprinkle some diatomaceous earth and First Saturday Lime on the floor and in the nests boxes.
Thank you for all these tips, I will definitely be trying these also!
I dehydrate oregano and mix it in their food, never thought about garlic in the water! This has been so informative, thank you so much! GOD bless
I have one guinea and he's the best watch dog I've ever had. They are loud but I know a dog is around when he starts making noise. He calls the chickens in at night and my rooster does nothing. I've started liking the guinea. I don't know about a whole flock of them.
I agree we have two guineas named Thelma and Louise, and they are stoic alert protectors. We dont have a rooster, and our girls free range out 9acres almost every day and I've seen those guines stand a line between a fox and our oblivious hens. Since my hubby wont let me have a rooster, we'll always have guineas.
I do natural chicken keeping. I treat all my animals with a few things I think help keep them so healthy... food grade DE, pumpkin seed powder and wild oil of oregano. I give them this once a week. It works for all my animals.
I do put the DE in their food too.
I can relate to the chicken love! At one time, I had about 100 birds on the homestead! Don't tell my husband. We love water fowl!!!
Thank you! Saving this- my girls have 'eradicated' all the grass in the backyard, and I'm constantly trying to think of ways to give them greens.. 🌿🐔
I use three 50 gal totes with hardware cloth/2x2 frame lids - as isolation ICU's (Intensive Care Unit) and one at minimum sits at the foot of my bed. That is where the "Hospital" is. It is winter here, and all three of them are in the bedroom now, and I did have to bring the whole flock in during a below zero situation for couple days. I suggest having multiple ICU's for your chicks. I keep a Poultry First Aid Kit and I am trying to grow herds, but that has been a challenge with recent weather issues. Another thought - if you ever had to make an emergency evacuation - have this type tote system and a vehicle they will fit into, to evacuate your flock.
Thank you for sharing such great information to care for our chickens.
There was farmer in South America he used alpe vers plants mixed in the blender with herbs
Yeah, guineas are noisy, but they sure are delicious! Get the French guineas; they're about twice the size of normal guineas and very tender! Serve them a time or two to the people that complain of their noise, and you just might make a sale!
I intend to start a homestead this summer when I move to NM. Your videos have been so inspiring.
Good morning,thank you so much for all the wonderful remedies. I know some of them but others I didn't. So helpful being proactive. It's so nice to see the excitement of having chickens. I love mine too 💓
Its been said a lot on chicken forums that putting cayenne pepper in with their feed boosted egg production..
Thank you both
So much excellent information here. Thank you so much. I love my little flock and am excited to be proactive to keep them healthy and happy.
Thank for this information. I put crushed garlic in their water today :)
Wow, your guest is the first besides my channel that I've heard talk about Isatis and chinese skullcap. Very good!
Wood Ash is also great for a Chicken ash bath...
Figs are great for food poisoning eating just 3 figs stops food poisoning.
Thank you so much for this! I usually add garlic to my newly hatched chick water. I never realized it was so good even for adult chicken! Also, careful about diffusing EO's for cats or dogs, especially cats! It can be very harmful to their organs, and possibly fatal.
Valuable info. Thanks
I don't know how stirring in the oregano oil will matter in the water, wont it just all settle back on top anyway?
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video, thank you so very much
Has you ever fed your chickens cheese? We did once when I had them one time and they were the most creamy delicious eggs ever😅 I wouldn't recommend it often bc idk That much but they ate a vegan diet for (the most part) bc we mostly ate from our garden & neighbors gardens so thats what the chickens got AND tbe nuts that fell. They were the best, aggressive & crazy😂 but I loved em. Very healthy too. I never knew how many egg colors Exist!
Excellent
My chickens are in a roofed coop and 12 foot run. Before we finished the coop & run I always had covers over the top of their pens. We have a lot of Canadian geese,turkey vultures , hawks and owls in west Tennessee . I
Same here. Way too many aerial predators.
when tacking about herb you should show the leef ore tree of what you ore taking about.
That will be a lot more helpful.
If it help you, you could make a list of herbs mentioned,& google the individual herbs to educate yourself. I need to do this on specific topics. Be Blessed.
I agree with looking at different pictures of a plant. I still don't know if I have dandelion! It looks very much like it but mine is tall. About 3 feet and all the ones I see on the internet are short. 🤔
When bird flu was here they killed private flocks, they killed more than 20,000 birds at one farm. it was horrendous. Isatis tinctoria is woad, I've seen different plants wondering if there is a different one for flu or if its the same? if you can get some seed it grows like a weed in southwest. getting seed might be hard. Did not know it is good for flu
Thank you for this...very informative... Maybe someone in comments can help with this... Wormwood..ive heard its good for mite deterrence...i have a plant growing in the hen house..would this be correct?
And my comfrey...i think my chickens have been having a nibble on it...mmm im just not sure thats ok... chickens are fine by the way..
I also spray down the coops and nesting beds with apple cider vinegar when i do their big clean out... Hoping it helps in some way...
LOL I just had this conversation with myself about broody chickens NOT HATCHING EGGS this year. I know i will crack.
Thank you for this helpful video!
Could you please suggest me a way to dry mullein fast and thoroughly? Do you chop it up before?
I have no freezedryer😉
Rinse with clean water if dirty. hang to dry or lay flat. Until dry.
I cut out the vein in middle of the leaves to dry, the leaves will dry faster then the veins so leave the veins to dry an extra few days.
You can use herbs fresh or dried..fresh you just use more as the beneficials intensify with drying as the water content diminishes.
Thank you SO much for this episode!! I immediately went out and put garlic in my chickens water! I do have a question, if you have the time. I ferment my feed, and add dried oregano, cayenne and dried garlic to it as it ferments. I will then dump out the water and feed the chickens the feed after three days. Are they getting any nutrition or benefit from these herbs by doing this? Or am I wasting resources and time because I drain the water out when I feed them? Thank you!
What the best way to store garlic?
I can't find the PDF download for natural chicken keeping.
If you go to the blog post it is down under treatments and preventions.
@@RusticReelthanks!
Can you use Black walnut hull or wormwood in herb tincture with chickens for internal parasites?
New subscriber by your 'antibiotic' video. This is off topic I realize But I am building my garden & what 20+ herbs/plants would you recommend to start with to maximize different uses for each plant?

Im curious for the hard to swallow herbs, can they be put in a capsule to bypass the palette?
Never heard of Chinese Schull Cap.Where can I find it??
What about meat chickens. Could you feed or let them browse on spice seasonings, thyme, rosemary, garlic? Does it change the flavor of the chickens? You could add those to a cover crop.
Where do you get the Isatis from?
What about freeze dried garlic? Freeze drying keeps almost all the food value.
I’ve heard that feeding chickens alliums or peppers will change the flavor of the eggs. Would feeding them garlic all the time make the eggs taste garlicky, if even a little? I love garlic, but not in confections 😅
I say every year no more egg sitters, i broket that by 4 duck mommy and 3 chicken mommy already
What books do you suggest to start with chicken- hearbs?
We have more info here and few links near the bottom. One of them is Heather’s free guide on The 10 Best Herbs for Chickens. homesteadingfamily.com/poultry-diseases-common-to-the-homestead/
