You could make a coroplast base for the coop like people do for guinea pig C&C cages, it would keep shavings from getting everywhere and it would also make for easy cleaning
My neighbours a young couple around 30 soon to be married have a dog, 5 chickens, 7 rabbits, 5 ducks and 2 guinea pigs. The chickens and ducks sometimes go into our garden.
I love chickens too but they would probably be happier outside eating bugs out of grass. They have many needs that can’t be met inside. But it is very entertaining to watch and I would want to pet them haha
I thought I mentioned it in the video but I’m sure I mentioned in some other comments that they were still a bit young here and it was still very cold out when I recorded this but about a week or two after I did start taking them out side they just weren’t permanently outside, and these 3 in particular I did end up rehoming to a backyard farm. Bog, the yellow one is an Easter egger she lays mint green eggs
People are so weird. Keeping a chicken indoors is just as cruel as keeping a dog indoors. We all have our opinions on how to raise pets and children. Her set up Looks good to me. I’m watching because I’m getting a chick soon. I’m sharing a coop at a community garden. I’m very nervous about keeping a creature that I’m responsible for outside especially during extreme weather. I need a back up plan to sooth my anxiety. Lol
Actually as long as they have simulation (I take mine to parks with a big cage and let them scratch around) and are cared for properly they thrive indoors as well as outdoors
I mean chickens like bugs dirt sunlight and fresh air they have to stay inside till about 6 to 8 weeks of age but who the hell keep their dog outside for too long I mean like to excise and to go potty yeah but keeping pets outside at all times isn't a pet at all ...chickens are not pets they are a resource and or livestock....
@@Whal3n no problem, I live in a large apt with access to a yard to allow to chickens to roam during the weekends. Iam researching to see if there is a breed of chickens that doesn't get to large, isnt known for being very noisy, and is a decent egg layer. Iam wanting these first 2 chickens for pets/egg production. My kids have never experienced any kind of farming and they will be to close to these birds for than to ever be raised as meat chickens. Once I move into a house with a yard and actually have the room I will have a group of egg layers and a group of meat chickens. I still even dont know if this is entirely possible LOL
John Brady my Araucana chicken did not get very big and wasn’t very noisy otherwise bantams do not get as big but I do not know personally about noise because I didn’t have any
hows the noise? can you hear them when you are out of the room? and does it smell occasionally? im planning to do this myself just need some heads up. thanks
Ron Ron it is not that bad it never smelled and the noise only got bad with one of my gals (City Slicker) and it only got bad once she started laying eggs. I did end up having to give them away because City Slicker got too loud and they were a pack of 3 but if you get quieter breeds like Silver laced Wyandotte they will be fine
Any and every farm animal is going to smell. Those of us that love living on a ranch ove a farm or raising farm animals don't mind the smell. I personally love the smell of a farm lol
Awesome video :D chickens look amazing I just got a chicken well that was left by the owner on the road so I just took it home 😅😅 great tips 👌and cool makeup. Ignore all the boomers that left mean comments
Have you looked covering the floor around the cage with astro turf? Idk if that's dangerous for chickens if they peck at and eat some of the synthetic grass.
John Brady we ended up putting some pet safe turf on the floor on top of the foam but it was hard to clean so we just kept it in the kitchen area not inside the coop just for them to walk around like a floor mat
@@Whal3n of this is something I think I can actually do I wil do research on fake turf and if it's safe I will have a 10X10 piece of it I will roll up when not in use and when I let the chickens out of there coop I will unroll it in front of there coop and fence it off
Chickens wont eat something they cant eat, and even if they do accedentally swallow something bad, it will be filtered out by its crop, and then move to the stomach once it is digestible.
@@haleynewhouse8567 Ive used sand before with my first ever batch of chickens, and most of them died because the sand got stuck in their lungs. Althought it was easy to pick out the poop, like cat litter
I got them from a hatchery and they were all female. I got mine from a local hatchery he has been doing it for years. As long as the person knows what they're doing chances are higher to be what you want than not.
Hey, where is their water dish and food dish,I didn’t see either set in their cage? Just saw a cereal box kneenex box and paper plate upside down they acted pretty hungry when u threw them just a handful of meal worms, I mean food and water should always be in a dish for them. They need to have that all the time. Chickens outside in nature eat all day... just trying to help. :)
BriTt the food and water is on a hanging wood block in the top portion of their coop actually :). I’m not incompetent I know that a living creature needs food and water which is why they have access to it at all times, just not in the bottom area so they have more space to run around and the food and water stay clean. All animals act hungry when you have treats. The boxes were for “roosting” or practice roosting on because they were too small to know how to use the actual roost at the time they were only a month or so old in this, and the upside down plate had treats on it before hand, and they do go out in nature I take them out to parks whenever I can : )
Oh crap this is so bad, I can’t believe you... this is no way for a chicken to live. They have enough space, but they never get to see outdoors or feel the ground on their feet.
Dennis Wald they did. If you look at other comments and watch some of my other videos I took them outside to parks often I knew it was a bad situation once they got bigger which is why I gave them away to a backyard farm instea

“Number one: don’t tell the landlord”
Smoking weed and keeping chickens in your apartment, LOL. I'm thinking about keeping chickens in my apartment with the corona virus going on.
So, did you do this. I do, and so far it works well.
@@justme8108 will it stress them?

The Jew fears the indoor chicken farmer
All these haters lol talking shit about the space given. Realize your factory farmed chickens are in smaller spaces
My neighbours a young couple around 30 soon to be married have a dog, 5 chickens, 7 rabbits, 5 ducks and 2 guinea pigs. The chickens and ducks sometimes go into our garden.

Haley Newhouse just like any other large bird if you think about it. Except a bit smellier

HunniBee* PresentsLPS They are domesticated like dogs and cats tho, so they could be pets.
if i keep my dog outdoors, he would chase a duck get lost and die, and if i chain him up he would die from depression
your chickens are adorable.
Cute video. You could even put a strip of cardboard around the bottom of coop.
Do you still have a coop or any other supplies you might be interested in selling?
John Brady we gave all the supplies we had leftover to the backyard farm we gave the chickens too, sorry

@@ronron7787They actually prefer shade
Is the yellow one a Easter egg layer
Those chickens are going to outgrow those cages fast that's hella fuked up to keep them in cages like that

Ah man I hate when people abandon animals but glad it’s going to a better home! Good luck! And thank you!
You have to release them outside and put the cage there its an outdoor pets , i have also chickens and rooster

Do they smell like rats ?
Eater egger soon cute.
Are you for real OMG
Where did you get them chances are not all are female especially if you got the from a hatchery or feed store sexing isnt the best at either
I got them from a hatchery and they were all female. I got mine from a local hatchery he has been doing it for years. As long as the person knows what they're doing chances are higher to be what you want than not.

Chickens go crazy for mealworms no matter what, they love them
