I love you so much

Swedish Blue is a specific duck breed

@@SayWhyChickenThigh I'm aware I have 20. Those are black swedish not blue.

@@nomadicprincesssHow beautiful. Best of luck with your flock!

The eggs set in this video were unwashed.

Glad it was helpful! Yes, you can use this on indoor plants, too. Thank you for subscribing!

Cool!

So nice of you, thank you!

Thanks for commenting! Sure, you can use whatever type of sugar you have on hand or prefer to use in your garden. Lots of luck to you & your gardens 🍀

Haha!

You are so kind ❤️ Thank you.

Thanks so much 😊

Herding dogs are the best ❤️

Thanks for asking! That's easy to answer since the heaviest birds are always offspring from my Maran /Easter Egger cross rooster and any of the full sized laying hens. The olive egg layers' offspring grow up to be the largest, followed by the Welsummer hen's offspring. The Easter Egger crosses, or blue egg laying hens, have typically the smallest offspring. I have a video showing the weight of a dual purpose breed harvested at 5 months compared to the weight of a Cornish cross harvested at 8 weeks if you're interested at seeing how these crosses measure up for meat czcams.com/video/HLWasXJKR-Q/video.htmlsi=C7FibvnJpGhXNp3n

@@SayWhyChickenThigh Thank you, I will check the link later, thank you again.

Thank you! Here is the final update video czcams.com/video/SqvF7om2Xk4/video.htmlsi=OMI2Hbka4WVXbMkh

Yes, the round egg theory is not accurate, as you can see in this video and countless others on CZcams. Our success may have been achieved by altering the temperature of the eggs during storage and incubation to help terminate male embryos during incubation. This created a lower than average hatch rate, but a higher percentage of hen to rooster chicks. You can see the final results here and hear our opinion of how this experimental hatch compared to other hatches we've done. Thanks! czcams.com/video/SqvF7om2Xk4/video.htmlsi=OMI2Hbka4WVXbMkh

Thank you 🙂 She's such a silly and sweet girl, and I love all dogs-- even the chicken-nibblers 🐓🐕

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Do you find it accurate with your unique cross breeds?

You have to start with the original pure bred lines to make sure you are accounting for hidden genetics. Then you can use the offspring from the original breeds to breed with other breeds or breeds you created. It’s as accurate as the information you input. It took me a while of playing with it to figure out how to work it. But I’m getting better at it. The inputs can be extremely detailed. Although the images are subpar to what the chicken actually looks like. It doesn’t account for size, comb types, feathered legs, or shape. Just the feather coloring and patterns. It would be amazing if it could do everything.

So true! Thank you for sharing 😊

Aw, she sounds like a true barnyard mutt and likely very cute! I've had a black copper maran/Cochin rooster and a barred rock hen who have hatchlings that sometimes have feathered feet. Right now I have three roosters from these parents and they all look identical, a grey color with a barred pattern, and 1 of the 2 also has feathered feet. I'll need to make a video showing them! Lots of luck with your new girls. They sound beautiful.

@@SayWhyChickenThigh she is so cute! Thank you I would love to see your babies as well. It really is interesting to see what comes from mixing different chicken breeds also the different colorations that result! I might possibly get green eggs with at least one of these gals. We will see.

I love how all the barnyard mutts are so unique! Here's a video of those three Barred Rock /Maran/Cochin crosses: czcams.com/video/JoJ75CNjl3s/video.htmlsi=i3FIb2aJZnJzKEvI

Thank you for asking! You can use the fertilizer once every week when your plant is flowering or producing fruits. Here's a video showing 1 application of fertilizer a week verses 1 application of fertilizer every 2 weeks so you can see the difference : czcams.com/video/VJxzVvCTtks/video.htmlsi=pNuDCXeinp7YvQRs

So nice of you, thank you! I'm happy your garden is doing well!

Oh, thank you for sharing your tips! I'd like to try that next time.

Thank you & welcome 😊❤️

Thanks for checking out the video 🙂

I think you mean SPLAY leg.

Great tip! Thank you

Yes, absolutely

I use this yeast fertilizer once a week when the plants are flowering or producing food, and once every two weeks in the growing stages. Here's a different video demonstrating weekly vs. biweekly application of this yeast fertilizer to squash plants : czcams.com/video/VJxzVvCTtks/video.html There's no comparison. Weekly application worked best! I wish you the best of luck with your garden 😀

Thank you 😊

Thank you!

Thanks so much! 😊

Our chickens are so friendly that they will jump up in your lap for pets. They are handled a lot, and especially handled by kids. I never knew chickens could be as cuddly as a cat until owning them myself, and am lucky that our flock's temperament continues to be delightful. Thanks for checking out the video ☺️

@@SayWhyChickenThigh I love to tease and cuddle the little chicks and make them make their baby Chickie noises 🤣...and later i give them food to make them happy

Thanks so much! We ended up with 4 healthy chicks! She brought them outside yesterday and they have graduated from hatchlings to active, happily foraging flock mates 🐣🐥

@@SayWhyChickenThigh Is that pretty average to have 9 fertilized and then 4 chicks? I'm completely ignorant on it so asking out of curiosity.

Yes! You can use fresh yeast or dry yeast. I've even used leftover brewer's yeast and the fertilizer turned out great. Same goes for the sugar; you can use any type of sugar you'd like in a dry or liquid state. You can get creative and use what you have on hand. Best of luck to you and your gardens!

Hello to you in sunny California! As far as how often you should use this fertilizer, you can use is about once every week or two weeks. I made a video demonstrating weekly vs. biweekly application of this yeast fertilizer. See this fertilizer put to the test here: czcams.com/video/VJxzVvCTtks/video.html The results are easy to see! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it rains there for you soon. It's been raining so much here in Vermont that there unfortunately have been many areas impacted by flooding. I will be hoping the rain will make it your way soon!

@@SayWhyChickenThigh thank you so much i will look at that video as well 💛i wonder if you got instagram follow you there as well .thanks you again

Yes, me too. I recently bought a new meat grinder and it has been game changing for my chicken freezer stash. Most of the time I don't get more than 2 pounds off a roo, but I'm processing them around 6-8 months. They're egg layer crosses, after all, so nothing like the 8 pound 8 week old Cornish cross I raise! May I ask, how long do you grow out your roosters to make it more cost effective to keep them for meat?

@@SayWhyChickenThigh I have 1 hen, local Bulik breed not yet laying, 2 RiR chics gender neutral at the moment and 2 other chics which I think are local Kabir of which 1 is definitely a cockrell. I'm hoping for 3 RiR hatching on Monday. I have a kind off mixed batch. I would need to research again on the rooster as I did watch a few videos on that. I'm guessing till the rooster stops growing or becomes a nuisance. That's a good idea to grind the meat and save freezer space. I am not fussed too much on the cost savings. I want good eggs and good meat. I live in SE Asia and I've been to an egg farm which was really shocking the conditions of the hens. Not to mention all the antibiotics they get fed. My chics get to roam around and I'm learning to harvest BSF.

That's awesome, and very honorable that you are raising your birds in respectable conditions with lots of open space! You may like to see how we raise both Cornish Cross (also called "meat birds" here in USA) and the dual purpose layer breeds chickens. It's possible to raise Cornish Cross on pasture and free range them just like egg layer types, and this video explains how we can separate the two types of birds to give the meat birds higher protein feed to bulk up while also allowing them free spaces to roam. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/HLWasXJKR-Q/video.html Lots of luck growing your poultry farm!

Kudos to building your own incubator! Sounds like you have a plan to help increase the hatch rate next time now that you have a new controller. In my experience, when the chicks have a hard time making it out due to a leathery membrane, it is due to low humidity. Placing a wet, clean sponge in your incubator on day 20 can help boost your humidity right at the critical time of the first pip. Then the air rushing into the shell will be moist and hopefully will help the membrane from getting stiff and leathery. If you have a hygrometer, maintain it between 65%-80% for the duration of the hatch. Even if you're doing the dry method incubation for days 0-18 the humidity will still need to be boosted for hatching. If you're able to, adjust the humidity without opening the lid or causing drafts of cold air. My incubator uses Fahrenheit temp increments of half a degree. Days 0-18 are kept between 99.5*F - 100.5*F, or 37.5*C - 38*C. Hatch days are kept at 98*F, or 36.5*C. I hope you have 4 or more cheeping chicks! Thanks for checking out the video!

Yes! I've used it on russet, white, and gold varieties of potato plants and they thrive! I usually don't spray the fertilizer, but use a ladle to pour about a cup of the prepared fertilizer onto the base of the plants to be absorbed into the soil. It absorbs and works best in moist soil, and so you may have to spray your soil down first with water and then apply the fertilizer. Best of luck to your potato plants!

Hi, thanks for asking! It depends on the plants and the state of the weather that helps guide how often I use this yeast fertilizer, but in general I use it once a week or once every two weeks on plants. I made a video demonstrating weekly vs. biweekly application of this yeast fertilizer. See this fertilizer put to the test here: czcams.com/video/VJxzVvCTtks/video.html The results are easy to see! I wish you the best of luck with your planting this season 😀

Thanks so much! I hope this fertilizer makes your plants happy 🍀

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind words ☺️

Great!

I always use it all within 1 day or less after mixing it up.
