Is this more or less than you expected chickens chores to be?
Good video. Washed eggs will stay good in the refrigerator for 1 month. Unwashed eggs on the counter will also last for 1 month. Unwashed eggs in the refrigerator will last up to 6 months. Because of this I only wash the eggs right before using but you do however you want.
just to let you know if your not aware then mealworms can actually poison them if fed too much so i feed 2 or 3 each a day. i was unaware of this and fed about 10 to 15 mealworms for each chicken until i lost one unfortunately to them! btw this video was super interesting and you care for them so much ! xx
Don't wash your eggs when you take them in. It removes the coating that keeps them fresh. If an egg is covered in mud and poop it's not best practice to eat it as eggs should come out clean
Growing up I did this a lot lol. You’re living a very cool life
honestly cant believe its mine sometimes :)
I always wash my eggs...I see a lot of comments. Not to..but I do.and I think it good to do this..your video was really helpful..well done you
Thanks for the video. 💕💕 gave me more peace about getting chickens. 🐔 🐥 we ordered a coop today. So cool yours moves!
My chucks hatched out 33 chicks this year but rats got 10 so I'm left with 23 chicks and 38 altogether. And I got a duckling and the rats got it too but the ducks are sitting on eggs again. This time as soon as anything hatches I will take it and look after it until it's big enough to be safe. My kitten has had 7 kittens and one died. I put a video on before of the 6 kittens which are 2 weeks and 2 days old. You should see them they are so cute.
I will go check it out!!
Hey! You should not wash your eggs, it has a protective layer naturally. When you wash them they are good for a lot less tiem.
Yes I just found this out!!! Do you leave yours out of the fridge unwashed?
Yes, but we sell them quite quickly. We have around 4 eggs per day (4 hens we have). So that makes 25+ eggs a week. We use around 12 of those ourselves. But we have someone in our street that already buys like 10-15 a week from us.
We are planning to hatch some eggs in spring, so we have 2-3 extra hens. Already extended the coop.
@@rubenmarissen that’s awesome! Yeah that’s probably why I haven’t run into problems yet I get 2 a day which I eat basically that same day
@@LibbyFlanagan Unwashed eggs are good on the counter for 30 days. :)
If you get a lot of eggs and dont want to sell but stock them, there is a great you tube video on "Water Glassing" your eggs! Great for stock piling for winter when chickens don't lay much or any eggs.
I'm preparing to get two ladies soon, we had chickens when I was a child, but they weren't my responsibility. This was very informative and easy to follow! So, thank you 😊 im more excited now
Yay! Excited for you!
Also have you tried putting fresh grass cuttings in their run. They love scratching around and eating it😉👍
Yes they do!!
Thanks for sharing.
What about dust and ash baths??
I just got a chicken two days ago for free and I’m tryna learn all this 😂😂 video helped a lot tho! Thanks
You are welcome!!
I have ch8ckens and they have chicks and the fastest one is Oreo and it's a baby! Also they are back yard chickens
Awesome
Thanks for sharing.. Good information..
Great video Libby.🙂
I’m so glad that you liked it!
Can’t wait to chat on the next live
What coop do you have? By the way, great video.🐓🙂
Awesome video! Quick non-chicken related question: what kind of dog do you have?
Golden doodle F1B 😊 she is pretty small for her breed might have been the runt of the liter
Can you share a link to your coop?? It looks perfect!
this is the coop build video I made: th-cam.com/video/OVEljX5krOU/w-d-xo.html
I don’t see any roosts for your chickens. Did you opt out for those? Just curious how they are doing without them. Or maybe I just can’t see them in the video?
there is a roost up in the coop!
Cool video.
Glad you liked it!!
Glad you liked it!!
So they get a half cup a day and still have a feeder? I wish I could use a chicken tractor. I’m in the country, we have predators.
I usually only fill the feeder up when we will be gone for the weekend, you might be able to if you add a guard goose?
You've really put a bug in me to try and make a mobile coop and take care of some chickens myself Libby! Doing a little bit of research on my end I see some debate of hay vs putting out dust (kind of like a littler box for cats). I hear the dust is easier to clean, less bugs, and that chickens love a dust bath. Do you do something similar or what are your thoughts? just curious and thanks!
Do you r chickens live outside? If so ur a great chicken mom! They must be living there best life ❤
Do you leave the food outside at night too?
The bucket does stay out at night
Do you ever need to turn the coop or do you keep it on the same straight line?
I put it at a small angle and then push it back across the yard to get started on the next row
Do you use diatomaceous earth and how do you use it?
Sometimes I will sprinkle it on top of my bedding inside the coop if it starts to smell
It was all good till you washed that egg and put it in the fridge. LoL I don't wash them and I keep em in a egg carton on the counter. They'll keep for about two weeks that way.
Hi! I was wondering where you got your coop from?
I actually built it! I have a video on my channel of the steps: th-cam.com/video/OVEljX5krOU/w-d-xo.html
and a couple updates in this video: th-cam.com/video/HCGRu8G9U60/w-d-xo.html
