Do you have plans to get more chicks this year?
Do you have a updated video of egg layers that just started to lay
This will be my first year with chicks thanks to you!!!!! ❤
I have 12 crested legbar hens and one rooster, I'm going to be adding at least 15 more hens this spring cant wait. Great videos.
I'm going to attempt to breed my ayam cemani pair! 🤞
Yes we are getting 8 new chicks. You mentioned in the video "training treats". What are you referring to. I assume its not the same grubs?
Watching your chicks, make me so happy
Honestly anything you put out regarding care for chickens I would love to watch! 😊
Most of the hatcheries I bought from last year said use heat lamp for the first few days. The say that the heaters don't put off enough heat for { shipped } chicks the first few days. The chicks have gotten chilled in transit. I followed that plan this year and had really good luck. Think I used the heat lamp the first 4 days then went to the heaters.
We'd love to see hatching experience videos! it's hard to find reliable and well-informed videos on anything chicken-related so seeing things from you would be ideal.
really enjoyed the information in the videos really helpful retired a good bit ago so trying to be more sustainable with garden and start raising chickens this summer
Same! We want to add Icelandic’s this spring too and will have to hatch them. I hope we don’t end up with way too many roosters.
We have always done hatching eggs (except for our turkeys) and love this option. Some come from a breeder and some from our flock. The ones shipped we let sit for 24 hours before setting in the incubator. The male female ratio was 75/25 for us last year so be sure that you’re emotionally and practically ready for that one. Our Roos aren’t much for eating but stock us in broth for the year. Thanks for sharing!
A sensible Spring Reminder from my favourite chicken-information source - Oak Abode! I'm planning on getting a few more - (my first Winter with chickens) I followed your advice a year ago and I did not lose any (started with only four) and I adopted one - so chicken math already happened - - four became five! Adding a few more - and using your guidelines to keep balance in the flock! Your Planner is great!
Thanks so much!
Started setting up my brooder yesterday!
This year I'm trying a camping tent brooder. I wanted to have something that would enable me to raise more tame chicks and we have one on hand!
We just ordered 16 more yesterday. Now is the time to order chicks if you want something in particular. The blue egg layers are going fast 👍🙏✌️
Thanks for this ! So looking forward to having my own chickens again 🐤🐓
Love Icelandic. Got mine from Wisconsin. There are breeders there. Love them.
We have been hatching chicks since November in Wisconsin we have some great breeds!!
YES PLEASE make a video on hatching chicks!!!! this video really helped me thank you! I'm doing chickens for the first time... I hope I don't mess this up!
Yes, a video on incubation!
I’m from Florida. Just got me some baby chicks. Love your videos
I am getting new chicks again this year too!
I’ve been incubating chicken and duck eggs for 14 years. Every time is as amazing as the first year. Enjoy. Reach out if you have questions!!
Another wonderful video!
Chick season is the best season ❤
Whippoorwill Farm, David Grote has fantastic Icelandics and sell hatching eggs and chicks! Awesome place to order from!!! He has 2 different lines!
Nooice! 😎 STOC we appear to be doing it right😂 Thanks for sharing this knowledge 😎
Loving your info. Please where is the video on how you built your coop? Thanks
I love your videos and am getting new chicks soon . I live in Georgia do you have recommendations?
Brand new subscriber here! 👋I just found your channel and binge watched a few. I'll be a new chicken keeper this spring and am loving learning all the things. By the way, I knew you are my kinda' people when I saw you wearing Fieldcraft Survival hats. 🙌😀
Haha, right on! Thanks for joining!
Jokes on you, my chicks hatched on Oct 9 natural birth with a brooder for 7 weeks and right outside into the onset of winter, so glad I did it cause in south Oklahoma as soon as they start laying it will just be getting warm, then I have three seasons of egg collection instead of 5 months of down time
We are getting chicks in April! 2 golden Wyandottes, 2 silver laced, 2 blue laced, and 2 red laced, and 2 red Batam Cochins. I live in eastern Oregon where temps in April can be hit or miss. Do you think they would be okay in brooder in the garage or should I keep them in the house? I have raised them before but first time without heated garage! Very exciting.
Doing the chicken shuffle shortly. Friends down the road are building a coop and I'm giving them a flock of Orpingtons that I've got. Gonna miss those birdies but I can visit em right down the road. A dozen new lavender ameraucana's coming in two weeks that I ordered last fall. Only got one of them now, sneaky pete has become his new name. Boy stirs up more junk sneaking around my marans space. Maybe he'll behave himself with some girls of his own kind. He chooses to be a loner / trouble maker now. Boyz a hot mess! lol
He was the only bird to hatch from a dozen eggs. I've not had any good experience with mail order eggs and won't go that way again. Only my own or a breeder close enough I think is worth the drive to pick up myself. And I want to see the birds the eggs are coming from and breeding conditions also. I've hatched cross bred birds too. That'll smoke your kettle.
I hatched my own chicks for the first time last month.
What exactly is the eco glow 20 radiant or ?
Do you use the drop cloth for under chicks ? Instead of bedding ?
Question.. I love in WI too and this is my first year of chickens. In the cold of winter, do you keep their food and water in the coop or in the run or both?
Prob a dumb question but do we have to get a rooster if we just want chickens for eggs? This is my first time so I'm trying to watch sooooo many videos
Nope. Only if you want them fertilized for more chicks. Hens will lay regardless of a rooster.
Half a trash can full of soldier fly larvae? At 50 bucks for 4 lbs? Somebody gave you some free treats
Sheesh, where are you buying your grubs from? Grubterra is NOT that expensive. We get 5 lb bags for roughly $35.
