Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Thank you first person to actually answer my questions. I'm a first time chicken mom, lol.
Commented 2.4.23 It is amazing to me how quickly they go from adorable little yellow puff balls to white chicken babies. I've been raising cornish cross for, well, this will be third year, my chicks ship 2.13.23. Yay.
Kevin your a natural in front of the camera you explain everything on point😁
We just got 15 cornish chicks. My husband all ready trust you because we have watched you for a while. He found this one helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this series. Great content! Blessings.
Great series! I check each day for new videos! We will raise our own meat birds next spring. Thank for all your efforts! May God continue to bless and keep you and yours!
Glad you enjoyed the series! It just so happens that starting later this week we be doing another series on raising meat chickens. A little different this time though so stay tuned! God Bless! - Kevin
You guys are great. Purchased my 1st 25 chicks. There a week old, and you have helped me out alot. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm so jealous, wanted to have my own homestead, but alittle to old to do it now. 70. God bless
lol, I just started this video and have to stop it to tell you I love your shirt!!! My father would have loved it as he believed everything is better with bacon!
These are the types of videos I like, gives people good idea of what is required to raise chicks to chickens. Thanks for sharing!
Lol! I never thought I’d see a poop encrusted bird butt on a video. 😂 But I appreciate you sharing the realities of raising chickens (and rabbits). It’s important to know.
We recently found yalls channel. Enjoy watching yall show steps you take on animal care as well as taking us through your thinking and steps you take on projects
awesome update guys !! love learning all about raising the bird for meat !! thanks for sharing
As a recent subscriber I really enjoy your videos and find them very informative, please keep them coming. Thanks
Great video. I processed 5 barnyard crosses today and the plucking definitely took the longest. Great idea about the lights - being able to adjust the height. I have Brinsea Eco-glow brooders but they only fit a small number of birds under them. Just regarding pasty-butt. I also add polenta to their food for the first few weeks as well. I think it's the extra fibre/roughage that helps. Also apparently variation in temps can contribute to pasty-butt and mine got it this time 'round as it was very cold and the Eco-glow wasn't warming them enough. I added the polenta (ran out when they hatched), and put them in the lounge room near the fire. Thanks again for a great series. :)
I haven't even watched the video yet...but that shirt is awesome.
Also I love this series so far thanks for making it
Great info. Love ALL your videos, they're very helpful. Keep up the good work.😍
Thank you sooo much you do an amazing job with your instructional videos 👌😊
I remember my grandfather had chicks. I did not know there was so much to it then, but all we wanted was to hold the tiny birdies. I love the videos that you and Sarah put out. I learn something from each one. Yall seem like you would be great neighbors.
Great job. Thank you for sharing your steps for raising these chicks. It's very helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Appreciate your knowledge!
It's amazing how fast they grow and how much they eat and drink.
Great series.
Love the series. Would appreciate more series on other topice
Glad i found ya, subbed, new flock owners....thx...helps alot
Like the weekly series to be able to make a decision on this.
Your shirt collection is Awesome!! That’s too much bacon! Said no one ever =)
So helpful!!!
Like this series a lot Kevin.
Thanks so much! We appreciate the support. - God Bless! Kevin
Great info.
Here's a pro tip.. Poop dissolver enzymes (like poop-off) are nontoxic and can be applied directly to the chick to get the poop off.
excellent job mate very helpful from australia!
I have never raised chickens for meat before although I have killed a rooster or two for dinner. Thanks for the information as in the spring we will actually begin chickens for meat.
Good information. We are raising a few for the first time
Awesome! Always glad to hear of more people taking control of their food! - Kevin
So interesting.
Very informative. Thanks my chicks are bald on there backs for some reason.
I Subscribed! Great information and video.
Yes more info for this NC girl. Looking to get some chickens and need more info please.
We're hoping in the next year to get our farm and start growing and raising. We so appreciate how you give us the tips to save time and money so we don't have to learn everything on-the-job! ;-) You're giving us a great headstart! So love your videos. And I'm making Sarah's hamburger buns today. So excited to try them!
Hey Kevin a have a friend that live in Diggins Mo.
i love these weekly series on how to raise animals. I know you mentioned it but you have to clean the brooder once a week?
Is the 24/7 feeding for the first few weeks standard for any bird, or just for the meats? Thank you both so much for what you do! God Bless! ~Kelly
Great video. Love seeing these before we jump into these. We live in Illinois. when would be the best time for us too start these? We are thinking in the spring?
I would start them after you know it's not going to freeze anymore but plan it so they are finished before it get hot and humid in the summer! This year we started our in the middle of march and they did great. I think you guys are a little colder than us though.
hello i have been watching your videos for a while now and have subscribed.
I am in Australia.
I saw your im alone video this morning, in it i was wondering how your chicken feeder worked ?
you let the chickens out it was a wet day, how do there get the food from the big black drums?
like it
K. I’m along time subscriber. I know u talked on red and white bulbs in heat lamps.... couldn’t g GF info it. I get new chicks tomorrow first time. When do u use the red and white bulb??? Thank u
can not find the heat pans like you have so am cutting mineral tubs and using the bottom
to hold their water...have a 1 quart pan i got for a quarter at a yard sale for my feed scoop. LOL
Awesome deal! Glad to hear your birds are doing well...getting another batch myself the first week of September. Kevin
where do you get that feeder with the spinning thing? my week olds try and roost and I need one like that
Whats the diffence in these cornish chickens and the small rock cornish hens that you buy from the store?
What do you do with the dead chicks? is composting them okay?
Okay I got a question for you how about pasty butt on a full grown chicken Rhode Island Reds that is
I got 4 Cornish chicks and I'm a newbie. I also have 6 ISA Browns and 16 Beilfenders. I lost 1 ISA Brown. Any advice?
have seen them eat bees and die! But only when small.
Why do you choose not to ferment the feed?
what hatchery do you get the chicks from ????
John Gardner they said Welp out of Iowa.
Can you make a vid on disposal of dead chicks/rabbits the sick/mystery death ones?
Honestly, there isn't really a videos worth of information. All we do is take them far back in the woods and let the wild animals eat them.
Oriana Spiderowl - dig a hole in the ground. Place the body inside the hole. Cover the body with soil (dirt, earth , whatever you call it). Move on with your life.
Kevin , what do you think of raising dual purpose chickens ? We want to have some eggs but more meat birds. We'd rather stick to one breed to start with. Can you recommend a breed you have had experience with please.
2nd time
I'm going to ask a dumb question if you didn't process them do they lay eggs ? I know don't laugh lol. If they do could you let some of the chicks hatch them so you would not have to buy them all the time?
I am not 100% sure about if they would lay or not. Since these are a cross of several different chickens, I am almost positive even if they did lay eggs, they would not be fertile. - Kevin
Living Traditions Homestead thanks for letting me know. I always wondered
Do you get your meatbirds vaccinated?
Medicated feed🤮
