There’s something about receiving new chicks that seems to make everyone smile. Great daily videos! I used your seed starter video to start 4 trays of seeds, thanks for the step-by-step!
I love baby chicks. They are so cute. I have a couple dozen on order for the beginning of June. Too cold here to get them earlier in Atlantic Canada. I have kept layers many times over the years, but the ones I have coming are Broilers/Meat Kings. TTYL Thanks..
Josh, I helped raise chickens before and would have liked to see a short primer on types of feed like Starter, Grower, Layer, etc. I think it is important to know long each cycle is. Great video. Love this series!
In my suburban small lot home my local code allows up to 12 chicks, must have a square ft of space each, but no roosters allowed. Check your own governing codes before buying.
Planning (building our own) a chicken coop very shortly. Have all supplies you mentioned. I have an endless supply of pine shavings, the question I have is how do you dispose safely the soiled shavings?
Just out of curiousity, I believe he said that you can just put a new layer of shavings on top of the old one(s). How often can you do that before you have to clean everything up (and start from the bottom)?
The soiled shavings could be put into round ring made out of wire mesh. Just fill it up and let it be. U can add green grass clippings, leaves, food scraps. = Compost.
Hey! Love your videos! We're currently building a Chick Shaw and are wondering about the 1" hardware cloth on the "floor"...I know it's for easier cleaning - the poo falls thru...BUT I've read that weasels can fit thru anything greater than 7/8". Idaho has weasels...just trying to be proactive prior to our build! Thank you!
We are about to have our first set of chicks in May. We are making it a surprise for our kids. You mentioned something in the video about just adding a layer of wood shavings on top of the ones they already pooped on etc. So when do you clean out the old shavings and give them fresh? I hear people talking changing out the shavings regularly, but it sounds like you don't but rather just add another layer on top.
I know "science" would dispute this but, fertilized eggs from having a Rooster are "alive" with life information and are better for you. Just a thought, but yes Josh, you do not "need" one for hens to be productive egg layerers. I know roosters can be tough on hens, but they may actually like having a "man" around to show them some purpose and of course sex🐣🐔🐓😉
We had several flocks, extremely easy to care for , minimal maintenance and the kids got a great experience with them.

Hoi
We have ordered 20 chicks for the spring, this video was helpful. Thanks
As always, great content Josh. Clear and concise.
spring clamp over the heat lamp clamp is a great idea
a heat lamp is a TERRIBLE idea, chunks
Thanks for the info! I'm going to get my first round of chicks soon, and this video was super helpful!

Good morning, Josh. I forwarded your video to a friend who is thinking about getting chicks. Thanks for the info.
perfect, we're trying to get everything set up. our local hatchery is on back-order, so we have time. thanks for guiding the rookies :)

Thanks so much. Just the info I needed. Didn't drag it out. Got to the point.
Thank you for the information I might get chickens so I
Wanted to see this if you get chicjes
Dang, I thought I was early😁. Were getting more chicks this year. Raised some a few years back and learned alot with a trial run.
Farmers must be studs. They get all the cute chicks. :)
Baby chicks are so cute! I just got Lavender Ameraucana chicks this week 💜💜💜 New subscriber!

Hi! Thanks for the video. One question that betrays my ignorance, why the bandana?
Straight to the point, thank you!
Thanks for the great video Josh! Your a great chick Dad!

That makes really good compost, if you have a garden or trees, or make your own compost.

Look into deep littering, Edible Acres on yt.

Thanks for the guide
What kids of chickens did you get?

I hate to spend 50bucks on a radiant heat brooder but I dont trust a heat lamp to not burn my house down.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge stay blessed 😊😊😊
I got my order today too..plus few more last night at TSC..

just befor i saw your video, we got the call that our chicks are in so off we go to prep then go get the chicks.... thanks for the info
Hmmm, that's strange!
Everytime I've ordered chicken, the only selections available was grilled, baked, or fried
😂 Laughed way too hard at this.
Lol
thats the same thing in common with your mom
They are just so cute🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
Good afternoon, could you tell me if you painted a sealer on the bottom of the brooder?
How do you overwinter chickens? Or do you just send um to the farm?
This is so much fun!
Will Larry accept the new chicks pretty easily?
Thank you that is helpful and they are so cute. :)
I’m getting baby chicks for the first time! Any tips?
What Vaccine should I get for my baby chicks
I live in the city no rooster for me. I’m thinking I am going to get chickens after I figure these bees I got into awhile ago
Aa dear so adorable 💌💕
Dang. I didn't dip my chicks. They seemed to catch on to what water is, however.
..... Hey there!!!
