Watch This BEFORE You Keep Chickens

gimme a break. wat a wast of cash. 75 bucks all u need. chook wire, tie wire, few long sticks for roosting, galvanised iron for roof, roof bout a third of the coop, tiny bit insulation if u want aircon, few thick wood, build frame, attach, bend wire for door n tie, done.

And now we cant eat our on eggs because of the PPFAS in it ._.
Thankfully my chickens are my pets and not only for the eggs

Eff the State. We need more sovereignty the gov wants us to have NONE , wake up protect yourself.

I would like to know what kind of chicken the orange and blue one is? That’s gorgeous!

Thank you. Your information was great.

I can’t wait to get chick

Ps

My Rhode Island whites are aggressive. They just started to lay eggs, and by now they killed one little bird that got inside, that it could not get out so they devoured the poor little thing. They also caught 2 lizards so far and they devoured them too. I hope this behavior is normal. My Rhode Island reds loved worms, they feast worms. Is it OK to feed grass to the chickens? is it safe? Thanks.

I've always had batrrey hens saved from slaughter. 12 months old a egg everyday. No going clucky. And completely dependent on humans. Catchable from day 1.

OMG...My daughter and her kids are chicken 'crazy.' (no negative vibe here) The chooks follow the grand daughter like puppies. She'll pick them up and rock them on the porch swing. It's a riot!

I think you should explain the implications (to male chicks) when you purchase a “sexed” chick, especially from a hatchery.

I was at the TSC yesterday. One of the guys was boxing up chickens for someone else. I overheard him say that the black ones were on sale. He checked with the manager and said that she would sell them for $1 a piece if I bought all of them. I have 22 chickens now.

what i like about chickens is it's basically like minecraft.
Building rainwater automated watering systems, gravity feeders, and rollout nest boxes. You can do automatically moving chicken tractors if you want. Chickens enable us nerds to build some crazy stuff.

there is a local furniture shop near me. can i use the sawdust for the chicken litter? but then the wood they use might be chemically treated.

This video was amazing. And yes, chicken are wonderful animals, relaxing and fun.

I'm from Brazil and I'm starting my Channel. I have some chickens here.

The dogs in the back round can go ur yard and eat ur chicken

4+4=5🤓🐔🐣🐤🐥

Premium layer mash at my local feed store is about .40 per pound, maybe a little less.

10000😂cost mine about max 50 bucks with pallets fencing and everything

this is the best chicken video i've ever seen. My wife and I have been on the fence about getting chickens... now we are going to get them for sure. Great stuff guys.

How long does the eggs last before it starts going bad??

How do we know that hen gonna lay eggs where we build the eggs collector , isnt hen choose itself where it found comfort

Had chickens start eating the eggs. I put a golf ball in the nest. Didn't help. I stuck the golf ball into half of a Easter egg...they pecked egg/golfball & shook their heads! You could tell it stunned them..they stopped almost immediately after that..today they make ceramic eggs..they say it's to test for broody hens. But I bet it could help break the egg eating habit..hope that helps someone

Rufio, Rufio .....Ru-fi-OOOOOOOO! I had the biggest crush on Rufio for the longest time! lol

I really enjoy your insights on raising chickens—I can totally relate! I'm a chicken enthusiast and a farm owner myself, and I've always been looking for ways to make chicken keeping easier. I have a really cool automatic poultry waterer that connects directly to a faucet, so you’ll never have to refill their water daily again. It’s been very popular on Amazon, and I’m sure your fans would love it too. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to send you one to try out. If you like it, maybe you could make a video to help promote it, and you can earn a commission as well.

Did Mr Beast start farming? Lol

My backyard neighbors have chickens and uff, it smells like a barnyard behind me. And wafts into my yard.

It's true - Everyone who has had some of my eggs from my garden chickens rave about how much better they taste and the dark, rich yolks! I've not bought eggs in 3 years - never going back.

Consider quail 👀. They are easy to maintain, quite,the eggs are very good and nutritious. I keep 10 hens for big eggs. And a bunch of quail. I absolutely love them

Absolut noch ein Video mit den beiden!!

What do you use to prevent predators from digging under your 2x4 1x4 or whatever touches the ground bases?

What a mansion you've built for your chickens 😂 Keeping up with the neighbor much? Chickens don't require anything near what you have built. Give them a place to roost, lay, stay dry, and protection from predator's.

I love that American coop , just a little out of my budget, it's hard to buy stuff living on a fixed income

Where do you get your hemp bedding in bulk? My daughter is starting chickens and has found out, it sounds like hemp is the way to go.

You said you don't need a rooster so how are they laying eggs? You give them a special feed so they get pregnant? Also what chicken species are these in the video?

False info: You dont have to kill all your chickens if they get avian flu. Avian flu is NOT rare its very common, almost 85% of all chickens carry the virus. A SEXED hen does NOT mean a female chicken. To much false info in this video.

I have a large area for the birds to roam and an open coop they can come and go as they please. Pretty much free range lifestyle but fenced off to keep the dogs away. However the fence was compromised a couple times and I lost two flocks to dogs. I am on the third now which brings me to my thought on temperament. Even within the same breed the birds kind of form their own culture. The foods they prefer, the way the interact with each other, roosting preference, tameness.... Reminds me of the Navy how we are all Sailors but on the different ships there is like a subculture.

Are they a gay couple?

I don't think the first point of advice should be make sure you obey your government LOL. They violate us all the time, but we should consider them number one when it comes to feeding ourselves? Hell no. You got the wrong crowd

Omg Kevinnnnn you just let Jacques go around town asking people for free wood 😂😂😂😂I’ve known you since like hydroponic garden! Buy him some wood please hahahaha

Don’t forget that DIY coop doesn’t take into account the massive amount of research, travel, thought, and planning that goes into how to find the materials and how to use them for the coop. So, time is money. If you simply buy a prefab coup it costs more, but there’s zero thought or time involved. It’s literally ready to setup immediately and you can focus on everything else while you wait for delivery

Great video. I'll definitely go for it at some point. I haven't seen it be done much around my area, so there might be restrictions to consider...

En español por favor ya que es un video muy, muy hermoso de Aves de corral

@kevin: could you make a video where you compare pigeons to chickens for backyard keeping?
Eggs, meat, manure for fertilizer?

Chicken farming is the process of raising chickens for egg or meat production and requires a suitable environment, balanced nutrition, and proper health care. The process includes selecting the right breeds, setting up safe and well-ventilated coops, and monitoring chicken health to prevent diseases. It also involves managing hatching and marketing to achieve optimal productivity and profits.

You two are totally GENIUS ! 2 great knowledgeable guys with calm personalitys. A pleasure to listen to and learn. I was listening to a different channel this morning and finally just had to turn it off and l won't be back after making it only 1/2 way through. I didn't give it a rating bcuz some ppl may like it. The problem was he rambled on and on (like lm doing right now) about his life and repeating at least 3 times info he already gave. Ive watched both of you before and always had an enjoyable learning experience. You have a life long fan. No lm not their mother. 😂

What a great video!! Thank you!!!!!❤ God bless you

I don't know how you manage to hold the food for them to eat off, my dad's chickens would have your hand off lol
