    Would also like to add to the best part of having chickens. Is the sense of natural therapy and doing something that’s worth doing. I have a sign in my yard that says “Slow Down so you can see Gods Blessings” 🙏🏼 I love having the Rarest & Most Beautiful Chickens in my area I’m truly Blessed & Grateful 🙏🏼

    Comment number 2: I'm having trouble understanding how chickens can lay eggs without a rooster! An unfertilized egg is ingenious! The Lord once again at his handy work.

    Right. Rhode Island, red and barred rock. There’s a reason why they are so popular. Chickens are easy to raise and beginners especially don’t need to make it more complicated than it should be.

      In my experience Red birds such as RiR, Highlanders n such which all basically are an off breed of 1 red breed are hardy yes but often catch some type of illness & may get over it but not b4 it spreads killing your expensive birds that normally wouldn’t even get sick unless you chose these type of breeds that introduce it into your flock/family. And please don’t take anything. I’m saying the wrong way I’m not bashing this TH-camr or his channel or anything that he is saying I’m just having to lay down some facts. My neighbor is an avian vet and has been for 15 years my aunt has raised chickens roughly for 75 years. I’ve seen thousands and thousands of birds my cousin in Kentucky has 9000 red hens gets eggs and sells eggs to Walmart. Has to pass all kinds of federal inspections weekly. And you can’t even enter the building without a hazmat suit on. & only the few employees Sounds crazy but all true. And if you would like to have someone in your family attacked by a rooster by all means get you some RiRs nine out of 10 will try to eat you. lol not really but ya they are not a nice breed like Orpingtons

    So good! We've got 8 ladies, and we love them to pieces! We don't have the space for a mobile coop, but I wish we did! It's hard to keep up with all the mess, especially when it rains because, yes, the soil around the coop gets really gross! We lay down straw or pine shavings when it gets really bad, but it'd be nice to just move them around! Thanks for providing the world with such a complete video on taking care of chickens! I'm sure that MANY will find it very helpful! God bless! ❤

    I loved your commentary. I was hoping to hear about what you can do with their waste/poop droppings/used straw. This could be a useful tip to add for new chicken owners. I will now search more sites. But I did love the knowledge you shared in your video. Thank you :-)

      Thanks! Well because we raise them on pasture all their manure fertilizes the pasture. But I do have a new system to where I make compost with their manure. Here is that video: th-cam.com/video/EgU4aK4AM3s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=H8hzI-QVZ7qBKNh7

    Brooder question…
    You said your brooder can hold 50-100 chicks, how long do you keep 50-100 chicks in that brooder before you move them out due to their fast growth?

      Great question! I move chicks to outside as soon as possible. Generally at 3 weeks

      @@tannerfarmstead Follow up question…. lol
      Once you move them out at approximately 3-weeks old, what kind of setup do have?
      Is it something that can still keep them out of the weather from wind and rain?
      I have always been told you don’t move chicks out to the weather until they are fully feathered around 6-7 weeks old.
