Baby Chicks Shopping Haul

- Late summer, early fall is such a good time to learn how to raise chickens and start your backyard chicken coop. The days are long so you have more hours outside to spend learning how to raise baby chicks. It is also a great time to get things ready for the coming winter.
Check out the Chick Days website for more: TractorSupply....

Setting up a tub for little baby chicks is a great project for the kids, who are off for the summer. Kids thrive with outside activities. I personally think kids and chickens are a good match. Chickens are a great pet for kids and they live outside so no mess indoors for mama to clean up. When supervised, even quite young kids can care for and enjoy chickens. It is just a great family project.
My advice is to start off small, four chickens is a good number until you get the hang of things. Second is make sure you have a very big coop. The bigger the better and the less problems you will have down the road. It is well worth the investment of money and time to build a big sturdy coop. Learning what your chickens need to eat to be happy and healthy is simple and easy.
I have made lots of videos to help you with every aspect of raising chickens.
With some time and research spent building the coop and learning what to feed, every family can enjoy a back yard coop and have years of fun plus healthy fresh eggs.

My oldest grandson, who is nine, loves to look for eggs. He helps me to clean the coop too. It does take him from the electronics for a few minutes. He had named a chicken, as did his little brother. The oldest grandson’s chicken got egg bound. Because I didn’t know what to do about that, I gave her to a friend. The friend got the egg out and the chicken still lives. My oldest grandson got to name another chicken to claim as his own. He likes to say that my husband and I are farmers because we have chickens. LOL.
Thank you so much Becky! Love your enthusiasm and your love for your Chickies! ❤️🥰
SO helpful Becky, THANK YOU!!
This could be a drinking game... Everytime she says chickie babies take a shot! Haha!
So funny, Becky says how children love chickens-BECKY LOVES CHICKENS!!!!
That’s very true. My daughters love our chicky babies. My girls love to hold them and take care of them. I call my youngest who is 8 years old thechicken mom.
Your the reason why i cant stop going to Tractor Supply. I bought my first baby chicks there as well. Thanks. Love your videos(the wife too)
you can really see how much you love your chickens
I just enjoy all Becky has to share on raising chickens! Keep up the great work!
'
aww very cute pretty baby chickys and duckys
You look beautiful Becky. Thanks for the great video and information.
We aren’t rich Becky!!! Tractor supply is EXPENSIVE!!! I personally rather support my local ONE STOP SHOP, I also feel like you are showing us all this but leaving out the PRICES!
Great experience buying my Easter Chicks we are getting green eggs from the ones we bought last September 2021 and we just bought 4 more late February 2022 love them it is such a nice breed
Love this video! I can’t get enough of watching other people buy chicks! Mine are ALMOST laying age, and I can’t believe they used to be so tiny!
Our T.S. is expensive. They just hire kids...mostly girls...who don't know anything about anything. Glad your's is better than ours! We don't go there. We support our local, family feed store.
westmeathguy that's so sucky. Sounds like poor management and creepy men in charge tbh. The Tractor Supply near me is pretty much full of adults, men and women, but they usually know what they are talking about and try their best with advice, avoiding to give wrong information. I go there for supplies if i cant find it at my closer country supply stores, but I personally don't like tractor supply chicks, I've noticed when they are adults they randomly die and have extreme temperament issues, I haven't had any issues with that since I have hatched and raised chickens I know aren't inbred.
i agree our local is same way . I had to tell them that there babies were passing couse they was cold , he had no idea . they had a few dead in the tubes..and the rest were bunched up one on top off the others..he said wow i was woundering why they done that lol..dont shop there..
Yeah
Nothing wrong with ‘mostly girls’, but still doesn’t explain the crap management
you stated that they are KIDS, so you have to give them the benefit of the doubt, they are new
This video is perfection! I’m not even half way through and there is just so much information! Thank you so much for posting this!!
I'm so glad you like it☀️❤️☀️
@@BeckysHomestead hey Becky I am a huge fan and you inspired me to expand my flock, thanks so much!
Thanks Becky I have chickens and they live In a coop we are building them a run I love them poppy is my favorite she will stay with u all day long they are a bee and ploof ate a cricket that was alive till he killed it and ate it
You deserve the world xx
Don't hang your heat lamp over your waterer. It will heat up the water and they won't want to eat it. I suggest hanging the heat lamp on one of the sides of their chick house and put the food and water on the other side so that they have a side where they can warm up and a side where they can cool down.
Their so adorable!!
I am in support of Dumor brand food for animals. I have used dumor for my rabbits for years and they're up in old age now healthy as can be. About a month ago I bought buff orpington chicks and also went with the dumor chick feed.❤ They are all healthy and well.
I run a Homestead vlog too and I have been loving your videos. I'm working on getting a larger homestead the way you recommended and I can't wait to get chickens on it! I've been learning as much as possible and this video is very informative. Thank you!!
I love how much she loves her chickens
Love your videos
Thank you☀️❤️☀️
Thank you for explaining it all! I’ve been wanting chickens but didn’t know where or how to start!
Loved, Loved, LOVED this video! wonderful Thanks and God Bless ---your the best
You are an inspiration.
By coincidence, I went to TSC today 9/15. They had about 5 or 6 varieties of chicks. They looked very clean and very healthy. However a little child had a large horn and he was banging it on their tub and honking it. The chicks looked lovely, dry and happy and active. I saw a small bag of mealworm for 10.99 and a larger 18.99 bag. Personally I purchased $3.99 saddle soap for my leather. My guess is Becky's cart of chicken supplies and babies were 'free' for her. I think she raises healthy animals and cares for them wonderfully. Some viewers may be jealous of a sponsorship opportunity. It is what it is, more education about what that store has to offer. My Walmart eggs today were $.55/dozen for large, it's a loss leader for them. Cheaper, yes. Healthier? And WITHOUT the Joy of Growing my own. I know 100% those Wmart hens were tortured in their deprived lives before laying my eggs for me. TX Becky for all Your Care, it was Beautiful. And, BTW, this channel is NOT a fashion channel, chickens don't care what your pants look like ~ Be nice.
Over COOK the chickie babies? Oh! Oh! Oh! I know you were just kidding around!! Great video - AS USUAL!!!
Getting little chickebabys next year thanks for the information Beckey
Thank you for all your videos Becky. I’ve been binge watching and you’re simply a ray of sunshine! I’ve been contemplating raising chickens and you talked me into it. My 4 year old is so excited about building our coop and getting some chickies on our small homestead in the suburbs.
Thank you for the video !!!
I've had my chicks for 2 years,first I had 15 , 4 died of sickness ;(.
Chicken math...... Love u girl. Sharing the sunshine again.🌼🌼🌼🌼🐓🐓🐣🐣🐣
hi Becky long time no see you....you look great...always with great ideas...
Thanks so much☀️❤️☀️
Thanks Becky:)
Please you can start video and information about goats please
Great Video...thank you for sharing
Thanks for the video! I’m thinking about getting chicks when I’m older but just the entertainment helps. The baby chicks are adorable!
thank you so much for this
Anyone else notice that the chicken statue in the beginning matches her outfit
After my ducklings were out of the rubber tub I didn't want to drill holes in it and used it to grow cattails. Got a little aquarium pump and run the water from the duck's pool through them, and they look great there.
So helpful! 😁🐓👍🌸
Hi ,becky its so nice to meet you
soo cute!!!!!
Thank you for your help
You are the best I am going to buy your books
I really want to live on homestead lifestyle
thank you so much i am a new with baby chicks
Becky, thank you so much for this video. I was contemplating getting chicks last spring, but decided against it. Now am thinking of getting them again, but I really need to go to tractor supply and talk with them about starting a coop with babies. It gets very cold here in Kentucky in the winter and am afraid they will get sick. I have a great veterianarian here in my town and I know she would help me with them if they became sick, but thinking of waiting again til spring. Again, thank you for all your encouragement of living a sustainable life. You are wonderful.
Your so welcome. The first thing you need is a good coop with a wind and weather proof hen house that has wood chips and then alfalfa hay on the floor. Go to my web site Beckyshomestead.com then click Chickens. I have made lots of videos to help you☀️❤️☀️
I wouldn't trust workers of a store to give you beneficial and correct info. Do your own research!(: go for a hardy breed. I live in new York and we get cold, harsh weather and our chickens are fine. I have a 9x12 coop. 4x4 was made into a quail coop and they have their own little run. But the rest of the space belongs to my chickens, ducks, and my guard goose(which I seriously would recommend). And I have an 8x8 run. I would say the space I have is best for 3 hens, a rooster, 3 ducks, and a goose. Currently I have 8 chickens but all the roosters except are being butchered, and I have someone who will take the ectra hens
A lot of TSC hate on this post, geeze. Where I live there are 3 feed stores in my localish area and none of them carry organic feed. I go to Tractor Supply for that. I order my meal worms on Amazon, though, $30 for a big ol' 5 pounds bag. Most everything else I get at TSC. I typically get my birds from Cackle, but last fall Chick Days at TSC I picked up 7 California Whites and 1 Easter Egger. One of the Cali's had failure to thrive and didn't make it, but everyone else did great. The Cali Whites even started laying around Christmas time and laid consistently through winter. She's not saying you have to get everything at TSC, she's showing you what you can get --and that you can get everything you need. People need to relax. Go outside and play with your chickens for a while and chill.
Awsome video thanks
Good for you Representing Tractor Supply
Thanks☀️❤️☀️
Hmmm . . . I was told if you are feeding crumbles, chicks do not need grit. It is just an extra. The water they drink breaks down the food. In the years I have had chickens from chicks, I have never given them grit. Never had a problem either!
Chickens eat way more than crumbles. They eat bugs, plants, grass and whatever else we give them. They need grit. ☀️❤️☀️
chickens don't need grit
They need it also because they sometimes eat the wood chips you use.
I agree. Chicks don’t need grit. I’ve never used it and never had a problem.
I just learned that there is a feed store near my house that has chicks and duck imported year round
Nice video. I went to the tractor supply today to get those items!
CHICKY BABIES!
Thanks Becky, I'm learning a lot from your videos!

Hi how are you doing today
That big bag of mealworms costs about $80

You can get 1000 live mealworms for $15 at any reptile store

Hopefully next spring you can get baby ducklings, they're so cute!
Just wow
That was so much fun thanks for sharing I really enjoy your videos.
I remember buying some chicks from one of my local farm supply stores we bought 6 2 barred rocks, 2 brahmas and 2 New Hampshire’s. Of course the store only sold chickens but we realized a couple months in one of our barred rock “chicken” was actually a rooster so that’s always fun, guess I’ll be expecting chicks now. Mine loveeee cherries and tomatoes ❤️
x_ ѕavana _x chickens are roosters and hens.
Such a good video thank you for making it! I'm trying to learn all I can so that when my wife and I get Chickens we'll be somewhat prepared. Your Chickens Playlist has become my go-to for info!
Thanks, build a good coop and go get a few, you will love them☀️❤️☀️
Jack Spellerberg if you haven't already you should look at BackYardChickens.com

Hi Becky. Can you adopt me please?🙈. By the way I have 2 boys it's a complete package😂!
Thank you for all of the wonderful videos. I’m getting chicks soon and your videos have helped me a lot ❤️👍
shes very eccentric
when I was a child I looooved to clean and organize the chicken house. I still do... it is one weird hobby of mine 😂 if I was your neighbour becky, I would do it for free in exchange for some pies!
Great info for newbies. Chickens are the best aren’t they!
I love your stone patio!!!

Love your channel, thanks for all the tips!! We just got 6 chicks and 5 baby ducks!
Thank you for all your wonderful ideas. I am hoping to start a little chicken flock this spring, and all of your videos are so fun and inspiring to watch. The most difficult part for me is getting the right hen coop/run. I will keep watching. :D
I am getting my 4 chicks today
Great video and since my chickens are now nearly 4 months and ready to lay, I’m thinking of expanding my coop! 🐥❤️
If you have duck after you raise them in the horse water thing the ducks can swim in it
chicks day's at my tractor supply are only during February and March it's almost that time of year again
This is really helpful..... but I live in Australia soooo.....
So awesome, your amazing
Make a video about you getting more baby chicks and baby ducklings
Becky I am a big fan watch all the vids but my chickens don't eat the meal worm
My chicks use to jump up on top of that feeder and sleep...
Your videos are a Kiki and so informative!! ❤️
I thought chick is going to go shopping 😅🤣
I have more than 80 chickens! 👌
Hi Becky my daughter and I love watching your videos! My daughter is Mara and she is three she calls you the chicken lady! Mara got chickens for her second birthday she loves chickens
Very good video. Love when you do videos around the animals.
Thanks so much☀️❤️☀️
I'm starting a home sted
I wish I could find somewhere like this in the UK
Spending $300 plus on four birds...smart
i always love watching ur videos and thats great learning for me. i wish if we have this kind of store in our country. i love hens..
Becky or anyone that knows about chickens: I was able to save a baby black bantam chick last February from cats as the hen brought this tiny baby chick to my side of the fence and I caught it before the cats did. Well so the baby chick would not be alone (I didn't trust it's mother) I bought 2 tiny Americarana chicks so the baby would not be alone. I got lucky as the store bought chicks turned out to be hens!
Anyway now that the hens are 6 months old and laying eggs the beautiful little rooster (and I mean exceptionally beautiful)
little rooster was on top of one hen mating it!
The little Rooster is very protective of the hens even when he was tiny! What now? Should I allow the rooster to live free on my little farm where the rooster will have a lot of roaming room, bamboo, large trees, grass? Or should I make a coop for the rooster? Leave it with the hens? The beautiful rooster is crazy about his hens. Any advice?
