    I’ve just started watching all your videos from the beginning and I am so glad that I have. Your babies are beautiful, and they have grown into such nice young men. I look forward to watching everything up to the present, hopefully it won’t take too long.

    So sweet to go back and see old footage of the boys and what the old farm looked like 4 years ago! My Momma got some chicks and we are working on their coop. This is adorable footage. Oh, and the new puppy does look like Chuck Norris!

    Yaaay for new chickens! Hope you have better luck with this next flock. I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it must have been to cull your last flock.

    You can also add cayenne pepper to the chickens feed or water, that will help raise their internal body temperature in the winter. Sometimes that will help them lay, because they’re not having to use so much of their energy to keep warm. I also add apple cider vinegar to their water just to keep them healthy and boost their immune system, I don’t know whether it helps them lay, but it is something that I do.

    LOL- "Chicken Deals" sounds so clandestine. Getting chicks again soon it was so hard without them. And yes Chicken math does get crazy doesn't it?

    I love your videos. We just lost our homestead...watching these makes me feel like i'm closer to home.
    Also, grated ginger mixed with manuka honey is the BEST when you are feeling respiratory infections. Nature's cough drop

    I make elderberry syrup too!!! It's what got me hooked into herbal medicinals. Now we got a bush going and some root stock that we pray will bid for next year so wecan have our own elderberry supply in a few years. It's a labor of love for sure

    We have a big house & filled our inground pool in to grow veges but both neighbours have an inground pool so the children will love it. Cheers Denise from Geebung in Brisbane Aussieland :)

    Hello! I am happy to see you guys back. I learned this from justin Rhodes permaculture that parsley and Echinacea flowers can be helpful for chicken respiratory diseases. Also they have mentioned about many other herbs that are useful with chicken in different ways. Growing kerbs like basil, sage, rosemary, bee balm, oregano, lavender and mint surrounding your chicken coop can be prove helpful. Have a great one!

    I hate to ask, but I need to know... want was this respiratory disease? I have a flock of beautiful colored layers, 3 shades of green, and a speckled green even! I want to do hatching eggs as well, if one of my birds was sick, how do you know how dangerous it is? Chickens do get a sniffle every now and then, right?

  • @diananore5528

    Looking at your older chicken videos, you used sand in coops. In this redo you used straw. Did you find the sand may have contributed to the respiratory illness that led to culling your flock? I ask because I'm trying to figure out best bedding for our coop. We use beach sand in the chicken yard and quail yard but used a mixture of sawdust and wood chips in coop. Time to clean it out tomorrow.

    A flock of chickens make life great just subscribed to your chanel so far love it...I put in a solar powered flood light in the coop that comes on when the sun goes down it draws the chickens into the coop at sundown.

    Whats your take on integrating a few adult chickens with existing chicks? Our chicks are about 8 weeks old. They are already out in the chickshaw and run. This is just a thought I had so we can actually have some eggs while we wait for the chicks to mature.
