Fun video. We have 4 chickens and 2 ducks that were raised together. They are a lot of fun. We give away a couple of dozen eggs a week (mostly the chicken... my wife prefers the duck eggs) as we get 4 to 6 eggs a day. There are just 2 of us.
But then buying the tractor and the planter. Idk if there’s money left to profit from it. But we are going to try to grow some more food for them this year just not on any sort of scale that’s sustainable at this time
@@bastardoazteca8094 good luck to you. Idk how many we had when this video was made but now there are 8 hens free ranging. 18 in the run. And there’s an additional 5 babies hatched by our buff in the run.
They can lay up to 1 a day but it’s rare for your flock to all lay the same Day. Each hen should lay around 250-300 eggs their first year laying and over time it decreases.
Why bother raising chickens if you are going to feed them the same glyphosate laden crap the factories do ? Ever taste an organic egg from a real organic farm. ?
So I decided to go back and do some more research because you are right, why feed them things that aren’t good for them. I did some research on feeds prior to this last year as well which is why we decided to use this feed. Now here’s some info I found just now. Producers pride pellets did test highest of several brands tested for glyphosate. However it tested much lower than many organic brands when it came to arsenic, mercury, and lead. So does this mean that the food being produced by other brands is just using another product that doesn’t contain glyphosate but one that isn’t commonly being tested for yet? If you recall grazon became a big thing in recent years. It was found the herbicide was making it through the cows digestive system and into the high dollar compost being sold across the United States. We know all of the things I listed are bad for you. So without growing your own food for them, how do you decide what’s the lesser of two evils. More arsenic and lead or more glyphosate? Do you pay double the cost to get extra arsenic and lead or pay half and get more glyphosate. We don’t use any weed killer on our property but I can’t control run off or what the previous owners did to the soil they left behind. So I just control what I can. Growing food for 22 chickens for 365 days a year is not something I can control right now. Have a blessed day and hopefully that info helps you as it did me.
This is a good video, very educational, thank you. I especially enjoyed the noises from your birds.
Glad you liked it. We thought it would be fitting to film it with them.
Hi the algorithm sent me your video thank you for taking the time to share just subbed
Thank you

They definitely are fun. Alicia just used some duck eggs baking a cake not too long ago. We will have to try them by them selves next time.
The only way to profit from chickens is to GROW their food !

Any recommendations on what you like to grow for them?

I had no idea that chicken can lay so many eggs.
