I am a backyard chicken keeper 😉. I just love having chickens, always have! We eat VERY few eggs, instead we give the eggs away to friends and some folks who really need some help. I’ve never sold an egg, and don’t plan to. Having them is just part of my joy😊
Cal-Maine has a monopoly on eggs, they've used inflation and H5N1 as excuses to raise prices, but have posted recorded profits (by a wide margin too).
Yes, just like for humans all you need is to use a PCR test which is not a diagnostic tool and claim something is infected with something it’s not and they get to kill millions of chickens. I feel bad the the chicken hatcheries….. and everyone else that believes the lies.
I don't keep any animals or plan to but I find these videos really relaxing. A good way to wind down and learn at the same time
Glad you enjoy the videos!
Food scraps and grass clippings are a great way to supplement feed, but there's also a pretty long list of things that you can grow for them as well, if you have the room. This year we're dedicating space in the garden just for the chickens - on our list is chard, kale, collards, Armenian cucumber, winter and summer squash, Jerusalem artichoke, sunflowers, borage, comfrey, peas, turnips, comfrey, and goji. Currently our feed bill is massive, so really looking forward to the growing season!
Feeding chicken grass clippings ==> impacted crop problem
@@ThuyNguyen-mg5jt I suppose it's always possible, but as long as the clippings are fresh and they've plenty of grit, it shouldn't be an issue like straw or hay. Personally I've never had an issue, although I probably wouldn't give any to my micro bantams, just to be safe.
Thank you for this me and my husband have been talking about getting chickens. We will wait till we have time to give them that attention!
Get chickens. When the collapse happens you will have plenty of time.
I love the variety of chickens that you have, Jag, and the fancy duck walking around in the background. 🙂
Thanks, for sharing. We found it's cheap to buy eggs from our Amish neighbors. We pay $ 2.50 a doz(up .50 from last yr.). Were in the Midwest. We also pay $ 2.50 for a gallon of A2 raw milk, from the same neighbor...
Wow, what a blessing.
wow, yea amish people have it down!
you are blessed to be able to make these purchases!!
Like always, great video and content. Thank you so much for your useful information. Love seeing your chickens walking around. They're really free-range.
I got little fluffy bantums this year. They are SO CUTE and friendly and lay eggs too. The egg is half the size of a large egg but I think the yolk is as big as a normal size. So the egg is half yolk and half white and it tastes better than ANY egg I ever tasted. I even cook and Dehydrate them for my parrot. He won't let me go a day without his dehydrated chunky morsels.
That's awesome! :)
Great video, thanks for sharing. Love your chickens!
Great advice, natural organic food. Eggs and meat also. Thank you for the video.
We made a composting drum out of plastic barrel. It had 6 vents and by accident one 1 inch vent hole lost the screen covering it. We put leaves and green grass in the drum and some kitchen scraps. We started finding large bug larvae in the mix. These were black wasps, soldier fly larvae (60% protein). As long as we put food scraps in with the mix in the drum, the larvae would be there. I searched online and found that people specifically raise the larvae to feed to chickens in their back yard. Many you tube videos on it. This could be a source of food fro chickens. Has to be 70 deg or more for the compost bin to work.
You are so lucky, I have been tryin to keep Black soldier fly larva.
I love how you leave the idea of having our own chickens up to us!
That's how it should be! :) Not dictated or mandated.
With correct knowledge it’s easier to make the best decisions
Love your videos. You are such a wealth of information. New subscriber.
Thank you for taking the time to speak honestly about the pluses and minuses of keeping chickens. We have room for three or four hens biu e not been successful convincing my husband of this wisdom. I’ll be watching this video a few more times to build my next attempt🐣🐥🪺 👍🏼👍🏼
Jag, I LOVE your channel. If every TH-cam content creator had your talent and honesty, the world would be a better place. I Would have loved to know your mentor, your Great- Grandfather!
Thanks Jag, this video is very timely for me as I have two dozen chicks on order. Happy farming….😀
Awesome! you will be dozed in cuteness for a while.
Jag you da man, love your videos
Another good accurate video Jag.
Thank you! Glad you liked the video!
I like your honesty on the cost of owning chickens.
Thank you. Fermenting crumble feed has been very beneficial for my chickens. The beginning at 4 months.
I have kept chickens for several years as pets and for eggs. I can’t agree more about how enjoyable and therapeutic it is. Sitting and watching your chickens is almost like mindfulness. Sadly in the UK it is illegal to feed kitchen scraps to chickens. In fact anything that has been in your kitchen - unless you are a vegan household - cannot be given to them. I do give them lots from the veg garden though that would otherwise go in the compost bin. Love your flock. All the best. Mags
What really? Chicken will eat anything! I mean anything! That's crazy you can't give them kitchen scraps, this is where regulations get out of hand, SMH
You are a good teacher. Thanks
2 of my hens hatched out 17chicks this year and then a young hawk came along once they were about 3 months old and one by one had chicken lunch every day. 15 gone and the only two left ended up being roosters:(
I LOvE my chickens and think they are very easy to take care of but I don’t like every year having to kill roosters. I don’t like having more than 2 at a time and it seems my hens always have mostly roosters.
Yikes, yea loosing chickens to predation is hard.
Thank you! 🐣 🥚
Lol ! It caught my attention! I tune in now and then this one got my Attention! I have had chickens before, He is spot on with the chickens kinda like sheep! 🐑 🙏😄☝️🕊
GREAT INFORMATION about Chickens!! Keeping Chickens is an EGGSELENT thing to do!
thanks for the video. my whole family (2 parents, + 5 children ), and I grew up on raw eggs, egg in milk, egg in cream , , ,I am the youngest, at 63 years old. we NEVER got sick from raw egg, never, not ever.
I get water melon rinds from neighbors also at Thanksgiving ,the chickens pick clean turkey carcasses.
I like how he keeps picking up the different chickens throughout the video.
:)
Me too! It gave me a giggle watching him emphasise the point with the slight shake of the chook 🤣 It’s good they like being handled & didn’t make a peep of complaint!
Eggcellent idea😀
Haha yea!
Chickens are wonderful. Enjoyed the handsome Duck in this video. Thank you Jag 🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🦆🦆
I knew you wouldn't be against keeping chickens. Good video. My chickens keep flying over the dogs fences and the dogs get them. What chickens don't fly? Thanks.
You gotta clip their wings
Clip about two to three inches off their wing feather tops. Then you will have chickens that don't fly.
My last batch I cut one wing on each chicken. That really screwed them up.
They can still fly if you clip both wings. You have to only clip one wing. It makes them fly in a circle thus they can't fly over the fence.
And you have to do it every year.
Great video, however you almost lost me at I was watching PBS news.....🤣
lol had to cite the source for the number
Jag, Every time I watch you I think you should be a movie actor. You would be so good at it. So personable.
lol thanks for the compliment
Had 23 bantams on my UK property. The one rooster would actively hunt the rats that lived in the ancient barns. I would find the rats backed into the exterior barn corners in a sitting position with their eyes poked out. So I will include rat eyeballs as something rooster like to eat.
Watch out for people selling old sick chickens .With the hugh demand for eggs, crude people r try to take advantage of that. Some r posting beautiful pics of birds , asking for payment upfront but when go to get them, they don't exist.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Wonderful
I like your video. I enjoyed having chickens growing up and again as an adult. I think you missed 2 factors that’s keeping me from getting them again. One is rats! I had a non stop onslaught of rats when I had chickens. I think being near the water is a factor and I think were we live it doesn’t take much to invite rats to your yard and crawl space.
# Two is chickens only lay
for a few years but can live for many years beyond. So if you aren’t big on eating your chickens then you are stuck with pets that don’t provide food. I got lucky and found a lady who took mine when they stopped laying. (I didn’t ask questions. Lol)
My hens are in mobile pens. They are in the fence with my dogs who will eat them if given the chance but they also eat whatever comes to eat them. The two skunks they killed and didn’t eat. 😂 because I move them over fresh grass daily which also means o have nothing to scoop out of the bottom of their pens. I also seem to have no ticks in my yard as my dogs don’t get ticks anymore. And my hens get greens so their eggs 🥚 are delicious. Probably having vitamin K2 which we all need and don’t get much of because we don’t eat grass fed protein. The mobile pens also pretty much eliminates any smell.
I thought the title of the video was great. It certainly got my attention!
Thanks!
Hi Jag that’s true eggs are very expensive I don’t have no place for chickens so I would buy the eggs for my son every thing just getting expensive to you and your family enjoy your day bye.
I love chickens. But don't feel like I would be able to shelter them properly in the winter. As a single person buying them is easier or egg substitute alternatives.
It's not for everyone but securing your food supply or supporting someone who does is very important these days!
Is that a brahma roo? THAT IS HUGE! I need to get a bird like that one! Tell me what you feed them to get that big? I want to learn more about the feeding. I seriously would LOVE chickens that huge.
I guess i need to make a video on feed, I use kitchen scraps, mowed grass clipping, i grow alfalfa, radish, and mustard for them, I have them get bugs from woodchips, I also give them 16% layer feed and scratch grains.
@@DaisyCreekFarms had no clue chickens eat mustard plants. Nobody ever talked about plants that grow wild that should be mowed down. Thank you for the info! I give mine a 22% organic homemade feed. It has Boss, wheat sprouts, oat sprouts, broccoli sprouts, whole corn, alfalfa pellets, Milo, Wild bird food with millet, and other stuff flax seed in it, and salad scraps. We don't have a lot of land, so we are still building upon a garden. I am wanting to grow all our veggies, but the chickens dig up my herbs so much, I have to find a area they can't get into.
@@DeborahElliott-mh5ru I had the same issue with our girls digging up my herb plants, last year year after they decimated a 12 ft raised bed I spent 3 hours planting in😢 my hubby got some cheap deer fencing to keep them from the garden area. He uses the cheap plastic stakes from the garden center to make it easy to move if needed. Every once in a while our Harriet Houdini(that’s her name) manages to break the fence barrier, but it has been a good solution so far. Hope this finds you well…🐔🐣
Eggs from the Game Cock breed are best to bake goods as my Grandma tells.
Yes anyone eating eggs from free-range chicken knows the difference.
I don't want to kill the neighborhood dogs that runs loose is why I don't have chickens here but might change my mind.
do you eat the chickens after they are done laying maybe later in its life
You can buy dual purpose chicks. This is a great channel for basic chicken info. Check out 'The Happy Chicken Coop' here on TH-cam. I have no affiliation with them other than I subscribed to them. Hope this helped!
We don't but you can if you eat chicken.
A good title for this video would be "Pros and Cons of having chickens. " 🙂
Titles are very tricky, I choose titles on being searchable and intriguing so people click on it. If the title is not searchable or appealing, the video does not get views, for example, the video I made on cost analysis of keeping chickens, I just used a simple clear straight forward title: Is it Worth Keeping Chickens at Home for Eggs. I took me 7 hours to make and edit the video and it only got 5k views and made $21. So I made $3/hr on it. Minimum wage here is $15.50/hr right now.
My neighbor kept chickens in our city neighborhood densely populated neighborhood. I didn't mind the noise but they were not careful with the cleanliness and there were mice and rats and when they moved and took the chickens with them all the mice and rats moved out into the neighborhood looking for food and shelter several of us who lived close to them were I inundated with the nasty beast's.
Yikes, that's horrible! Yes cleanliness is very important!
From what I understand with bird flu is if one chicken in a huge group becomes ill or dies and avian flu is suspected, the whole flock is killed. But with those factory raised chickens that r so crowded, its very understandable for one to get ill or die.
Factory farm chickens are the most abused animal on the planet! Always buy pasture raised eggs!
@@curlyredcafe All factory farmed animals are forced to live a miserable short life, abused and then horrifically killed. All animal agriculture is pure evil
But jag you have enough room to grow corn/wheat/barley for chicken food for you It's just the time you have to put into it ...that will cut your supply cost down !!!
I grow them, alfalfa, buckwheat, mustard, and radish in winter. Bees use the flowers for nectar and pollen and when the flowers close, i mow them and feed to chickens. However, to improve the quality of eggs, i use scratch grains and egg layer pellets. and chickens love them too,.
@@DaisyCreekFarms Well there you go !!!
What time of wire fence is in this video?
Generally it's called welded wire, it comes in different heights and roll lengths.
Welded wire 2x4 fence.
I'm chicken sitting* for a young family from church while they're on vacation. It's been an adventure as I'm not experienced but have a grand niece who had an assorted flock of 12. I've broken only 3 eggs so far, all on the 1st day when I put them in a coat pocket. Dang. *recommend NOT saying those words out loud & fast.
Glad you are getting the experience! :)
Is it early for me or did you say Egg-cellent investment 🤔 🥚🤣
I did say Egg-cellent investment lol
@@DaisyCreekFarms love it🥚
I'd never buy a chicken coop, just because it's so easy to cobble one up from various kinds of scrap/leftover materials most people have in their shed/garage. If it's in my own back yard I really don't care how it looks as long as it functions properly.
Also you're much too concerned with dedicated bird feed, they can eat raw grain just as well (any kind of cereal really, though mixing them up a bit will ensure a more balanced diet). I never saw a chicken suffering from food poisoning unless they ingest synthetic chemicals like pesticides or detergents, they can tolerate an impressive variety of organic matter including rotten or moldy stuff and even actual s*it.
I feed them everything as well, all kitchen scraps, grass clipping, mowed weeds, i give them scratch grains which are just assorted raw grains and layer pellets because they love it and it improves the quality of eggs as well.
Almost got angry reading the title. Video was very good and helpful though. Thank you
Yea, he's got to be careful with that. I almost hit unsubsidized.

@@DaisyCreekFarms I completely understand. Luckily I watch you're videos a lot and knew something was up.
It's just a worldwide problem now and it seems governments are trying to prevent people from being self sufficient. I don't normally buy into conspiracy theories, but this really affects me and many people in my country.
Thank you for the time and effort put into the video. In all honesty the content was very informative and helpful.
Your channel helps broaden my knowledge and I am thankful
All the best Jag
Many people would disagree with you on the noisiness of roosters vs hens. They both are noisy, just different times of day and for different reasons,
Roosters are much louder, I had them twice, sometimes they are mis categorized and end up in hens. And they were really loud and would attach the hens as well specially the new flock if I introduced it. So I gave my roosters to my neighbor, they use them to make more chicks in the flock.
@@DaisyCreekFarms I think it depends on the roosters and hens, or maybe the breed. I find some hens are just as loud as roosters and some roosters arent as loud as hens. Some roosters crow all the time, some dont. Some hens are very noisy all the time, some only when laying, some not at all. The main thing with rooster noise is it's at the wrong time of day, when I want to be sleeping and probably all the neighbors too. Lol
Hmm true, yes! you got a point there!
The chickens they produce eggs very vital to the economy
One more comment, lol I always considered my chickens to be natures Prozac. We are just finishing up building our home….I CANT WAIT to get another flock going.
What state are you in Jag?
His in California I believe
Yup California!
what about Guinea fowl?? 👣👣👣👣
👍🐣
I love to have chicken
Chickens are easier and cheaper to keep than a dog and are way more useful haha
lol true, but no one loves you more than a dog :)
@@DaisyCreekFarms Ain't that the truth!!! I love mine to death and couldn't imagine life without them.
Watch the video people! 😂
I had 6 chickens for two years. Then the 🐻 bears came and tore the coop in half and ate them. 😢
Bears....
Yea, true!
Only in America would they kill the chickens for their own good.
Once Avian Flu is detected in a flock, the rest of the birds are doomed. This disease will spread so fast that the whole flock will contract it and die within days. Euthinasia is the only way to keep it from wiping out the entire poultry industry. This would also include our backyard flocks.
@@vernonearl no
You should change the title...

I’m concerned it’s safer for a person to starve then risk eating a sick chicken. Life must have no risk 💉🗽
You forgot the sarcasm tag, right?
You can't do this living in an apartment in The City
No you can't but you can support someone who does this.
Provide them with clean water.......ha ha ha! Then watch them, the cats and the dog drink the dirty stuff you just dumped out like it's life saving nectar!
6:30 Water them! Haha!
I was seriously considering getting chickens. Thank you for the reality check. My mother in law said the feed attracts rodents.
You can still get chickens and keep them clean, this video is not to deter you to keep chickens but to encourage you to keep them properly.
@@DaisyCreekFarms
It was excellent information. I learned much. If we do get chickens, I will know what I am getting into now. The other video you made about the cost was also very good.
Poor title.
Ducks eat slugs 😂 chickens won’t.
That's true! Ducks are awesome but they make a mess lol
How much were you paid by the govt to make this video
Nothing, you would know if you watched the video!
This is not in line with his other video's.
You'll lose plenty of respect with this one.
Did you watch the video?
