After 10 yrs of studying and watching YT, YOU have put together the best info package. Hats off to Bock Bock Bouquet! Though I do like my coop design more than yours. Thanks for the effort in saving us all time. This is the only video we need
,wow !!!!!! I read approx 32 books on chicken rearing and studied. You did 1 video that covered every single item !!!!! If not already , you need to write a book. Gratefully, I already knew your info but it was refreshing that you covered it sooooo fast. Wonderful job !!! I'm amazed
BOOM. This video is gonna blow up. I can feel it. 🐥🐥🐥
Aw thanks so much!! I can only hope this can help some people out there ❤️

I agree, I've watched a ton of videos over the last two years.
And this one is the first one in while that had tips that I've not seen before.
Thank you!
I was gifted a grown flick when I bought my property out in the country, so my first project was building their house, pen/run and fencing off their free range area.
It was an older flock so most of them have pasted for one reason or another...so I tried hatching some chicks with my eggs...ended up with nothing but roosters!
Two roosters were from a very grouchy hen and they were both meaner than she was. I had never intended to eat my chickens but they terrorized my hens to the point some hens would not go back into the roost box!
So I did invite those two to dinner one night!
Anyway, great info! Thank you again for all the tips!
WHEW! I'm having information overload. 😁 Thank you so much for putting ALL this information together. It COULD NOT have been easy making this video, but we ALL appreciate it TREMENDOUSLY!
Everything we need to know! Including temperatures and ammonia levels. 👍 👍
I use the Quail Base on a 1x6 piece of wood, place the hole on the lowest side to prevent running over; I put some real honey in the water. My little roosters are very friendly and follow me around. The beehives are covered with earwigs and I put the cover in the chicken run watching the chickens slurp the bugs up like an anteater. Ranger chicks are going in their new run in a day or two as soon as its finished.. CHEAP food sucks as there is excessive waste, pointing it out to people reading this post. I use Nutrena because its sold locally and the chickens really like it over the TSC brand.
We got our baby chicks about a week ago and I've watched this video several times. Thanks for all the great info! It's handy to have it all in one video.
One of the most informative to the point vid's ... no long drawn out wordy lack of info here . tells you what you need to know for beginning . lots of useful info here.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
You make the most knowledgeable chicken videos out there!!! It is so obvious that you love you feathered babies. I come back to your channel every time I need some info on my feathered babies ! Thank you so much for being such a wealth of information!
Wow, thanks so much! I guess you learn a few things through out the years, I have had chickens my entire life. Can't imagine a life without pet chickens.
I love your videos. I don't know if it is just me but every time I see a video with Polish chickens in a flock, it makes me smile. Cutest birds ever! Love the headdress!
Thanks for tuning in, and yes, we LOVE our Polish chickens. They are so extra! lol
❤❤❤ I’m raising chickens for the first time this spring. This is very helpful!
Thank you! Best of luck to you! Enjoy every step of the way!
@@BockBockBouquet hi. One thing I learned through the years raising animals is always keep clean water and food and their living area clean as the manure can cause diseases and they become sick..... The idea of layering the mulch and manure is good as it helps keep them from coming in contact with germs and coccidia and things that cause sickness..and meal worms and soldier fly's will thrive in the decaying matter but eventually this will still need to be removed and cleaned . just as the best boxes...and water containers. So it would be a good practice or idea to have either made in the coop or out a way to harvest the insects and area to finish composting the manure and straw as compost does better with moist decaying matter like vegetable scraps and grass and the insects like that too is traditionally out side of the coop but close by and a vegetable garden so the finished compost has three bin areas of composition and whin it turns into a dirt is wonderful compost for the garden .. compost gives off heat also and is something to keep in mind where you put it I have heard of compost actually catching fire! That's how hot it can get !
And with all things new we must do our research and study so we can decide how we want to manage our property and to manage the work so it is easier and beneficial to us and our property.
If you do decide to use the methods I described , congrats ! You will be farming.! Using the natural ecosystem God created to grow your own food! Enjoy ! And happy Farming!
Just ordered the hemp bedding. Thanks for the great info and the discount code!
Thank you for all of this.
For over thirty years i raced and showed racing pigeons and used hemp crumble in almost every basket, and loft that was not used for racers Racelofts were cleaned every day but the hemp on a breeding loft was used through the year like you do with your chicks When they were a week before the start of my breeding season the loft was cleared and the compost was used in the vegetable garden with good result The hemp bedding system is good in many ways
Thanks for all the info!😊
Great video! Very well done!
You are a delightful chicken advocate and teacher! Thanks for the video!!

Great information! Thank you!
😊😊
Thank you so much for educating me!
AWW thanks so much! Good luck with your flock!
❤❤ thank you
Only 5 min into this video and you've covered so much! I'm a first time chicken owner, just got the babies 3 weeks ago. Wish I had found this particular video amongst the others first!
Thank you so much for such an informative, easy to follow video!
Absolutely the best chicken rearing video! Thanks.
Wow, thanks!
I am a newbe, and i sincerely enjoy how you go into detail about these chicken lessons, Thank you so much for all this info 🥰
You are so welcome!
Wow very nice maam
Literally the BEST chick video I have seen yet! Thank you ❤
Wow, thank you!
I use deep litter, but I use grass clippings I add a layer of grass a day. Or really just dump the grass in and the chicks spread it over the entire broader. Also add a hand full of sandy soil. This is the second broad I've done this way. First brood was out the door and in the coop in 3 weeks.
That is great for them! Introduced all the good microbes and gives them a strong immune system for strong healthy chicks. We live in the desert so we don’t have any grass lol.
I had chickens two years ago and we just moved into a new house and we have chickens again and this video was more than awesome!! It reminded me of a lot of things and you taught me new things as well so thank you!
So glad to hear you’re back into raising chickens! 😄 awesome we can help, glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
My family lovingly calls me the chick commander, but after watching you I think I may have been dethroned. You do a great job and are very knowledgeable I did pick up a few good tips from you. Thanks, I think I will sub to your channel.
Love this channel! Came for the integration tips, stayed for the real world advice!
Thanks so much! Glad we can be of help
Awesome video thanks!
Thanks a lot!
Hi I use grass , dry dead leaves for litter ...and have plenty to change out when it gets soiled you can grow your own soldier larvae they actually can grow in chicken poop and vegetable and decaying grass , have a good day!
Amazing information, thank you so much!! Will definitely be using your channel as a resource! Getting my baby chicks TODAY!!! :)
So informative thank you so much God bless you and yours.

I’ve never bought baby chicks but I can’t wait to hatch my Brahma chicks in spring 2024!!!!! So this vid is helpful for the future wish me luck!
Great information! Just getting chicks for the first time
Congratulations on your baby chicks!
I've watched a zillion chicken videos these past few week. I was trying to pinpoint down my list of dual chicken breeds. Anyway I ran into this video that you produced today. And it was one of the most accurate most informative videos that I've seen in a while. You're talking really fast but if your visitors can absorb everything you totally know what you're talking about and you have a lot of great information to share. I appreciate you! Cisko
I agree. They put out awesome videos!!! And yup, I would absolutely have trouble understanding her because speaks so fast if not for the fact that she is also so very articulate in her pronunciation of every word she speaks!! There have been other videos where I had to go into the settings and slow the speed down just so I can understand what is truly being said, but that is not here!!!!!!Yay!!!

Hi ma'am I like your video it's nice for me as a new beginner breeding chicken 🐔❤
great video
Wow... you are quite the expert and one sweet girl.
Thanks so much! Been raising chickens my whole life ❤️🐔
Crikey! Kelly, your wealth of knowledge amazes me and kind of overwhelms me. Probably why my wife will be the chicken mom, as she has done this before. I am the builder. I watch more of Ricardo’s videos. You both are a joy to watch.
Cricket was supposed to be “crikey”
Oh thank you! Haha I read it as crikey right away, auto correct always gets me too. Thats perfect, our next video is a Ricardo the builder episode! ❤️😄
I've learned so much from u thank u
Thank you! That means a lot, I only hope some of the information could be of use to someone. ❤️🐔
Masham Allah
Very beautiful video and very helpful ❤
Good to hear, thank you!
For a chicken raising rookie like me this was fantastic. She's an encyclopedia of chicken raising knowledge. I subscribed. But take a breath every few minutes.
Thanks for the sub! Our other videos are not as fast pased 😅 Just didn’t want to put out an hours long video but also not lease important information out while keeping viewer engaged
Wow! You can talk really fast! Thanks so much for all the intel.
Lol thank you! Sorry I guess I was trying to cram as much info as I can in there, and not make it an hour long video 😅
Wow, Girl! You sure packed a ton of info into 30 minutes! Definitely subscribing!
QUESTION: I'm in Nor Cal where it crazy HOT! I need to build a coop, have only 5 hens, 2 roosters (unplanned) and want to probably add in more hens for balance. I've got a cement floor dog kennel, do I need dirt? I feel like yes. Thanks
Thank you & welcome to our channel! Dirt floor is best as they like to scratch and eat bugs and also they bathe in the dirt called dust bathing to repel pests and the cool dirt they dig up can keep them cool in the summer heat
Never used hemp for chickens, but I sure do!😁
😁😂
I'm a new subscriber, I'm also kinda new to all this, it's a Great video with some Great Information!
