I absolutely love how and what you feed your chickens! They are not only healthy but engaging in their best lives. Great job!
Your chickens are living their best life! It would be the envy of every factory farmed chicken.
I love that all of your animals have jobs, and they all seem to be living their best lives!
Good job, former-Washingtonian- relearning older America Kentuckyian ways of life😊. You're young in years but older in wisdom.
Dehydrated egg shells then powder to add to the chicken food is wonderful for them
My chickens are pasture raised I do supplement with with chicken feed, scraps when I can, an eggs yolks are orange, if I make homemade mayo it's yellow orange , I don't buy the meal worms anymore too expensive, we have orange trees , apples, berries, fruit trees, figs, basically they love all the fruits, vegetables,
I used to have an aviary with finches, I grew wheatgrass for them. Those little birds could demolish a tray of wheatgrass in a couple of days. When we had chickens they enjoyed it too. As you say the quality of the eggs are well worth the effort of growing the greens for them.
That's a beautiful chicken coop. I need to catch up on your last several videos and watch the build.. We got a accidental rooster in our last chick order. I planned to cull him but last week it saved one of the hens from an attacking bald eagle so I will keep him around. I think its great that youre growing your own chicken fodder. I need to do that.
Mine love them and get them every day and I have been told my eggs are delicious
It is fun and pretty to look at.
This is my type of video, don't get dizzy.
Enjoy watching you ☺️
We found that oregano in their water helps with cleaner eggs
We do all the same things for our flock except ours just free range half our property
Hej so you try to use the "Fodder System" but you give it to fast to the chickens. If you use good you can have fodder for your cows to.
Terrific animal husbandry and investment in the quality of your produce. Eggs would taste amazing!
I agree on a one stop shop on egg layers, hard to keep the defenses up and keep the predators out. I've grown fodder before and it works. I grew mine with eight trays in one rack with holes drilled in one end alternating ramps. Water the top and it ran through all seven trays into the catch in the bottom and keep recycling the water full of nutrients adding new water daily. Fed an entire summer. My girls loved it.
You should have cracked us an egg at the end so we could see the quality of egg! ❤
We have that nesting box, and my chicken would not lay in it. I had to put straw or something in it as they did not like that pad. After a few weeks I was able to put the paid back without the straw only one chicken will not lay in the box she like to scratch around before she lay. (no, the eggs will not roll with the straw/hay in the box)
Big fluffy healthy looking chickens :)
Good info.
Thanks
The educational and informative videos about your animals and the nutrition concepts you incorporated are awesome! It's a different style you taking us with you, explaining the things you do and why you do them! I like it-- as so many people don't understand agricultural concepts and why farmers do what they do. And the most intriguing part is every farmer does it a little different! The more raw, day in the life explanatory videos are cool! I would love to see more kitchen videos using your ingredients and casual talks around the farm of all your systems you implement (seems very similar to Joe Salatin!!) and just the peaceful vibe your farm brings! You guys are really inspiring and your energy is contagious! I want to go outside and start moving dirt around after this video lol Thank you for all that you do to create this really cool farm content! Your videos are also starting to kinda remind me of the casual talks by Jess on her channel @ Roots and Refuge. Real chill, but entertaining. Love it! :)
I enjoyed this chicken video! I’ve got plans to grow fodder for chickens when we get them. It seems like a great way to offer them fresh greens because the predator pressure we have, we won’t allow them to free range outside of a protected environment unless we are also outside. I may create a tunnel for them to move in even when we’re outside. We have several pairs of eagles that are in the area. One got a hold of a duck and sat in our neighbors tree and ate all of it. The only thing left was the head. It was both fascinating and hard. I know it’s nature but I would be devastated if one got a hold of my chickens. We also have other predators as well to be mindful of. With only an acre we don’t have a large area to work with but we’re figuring it out. Your property is bursting with color. Is the acreage good for crops like growing your own hay or grains on a large scale?
Thanks for sharing with all of us.
As always Zach very great video to the right way of having chickens and from your videos I always learn something new to do 👍
You should do a cooking video
Zac, thanks for the best educational steps to have the best clean eggs 🥚 ..
thanks for the great tips, I recently got chickens, so will try putting oats in water and sprouting the oats, like you did., and feed them some scraps, they are quite young still 12 weeks. Do you think I can start with food scraps and the oats then?, so they are not too young for it yet?
Cutie chickens! 🐔
I enjoyed the video as usual. Very educational video.
Another Great Video!😊
Thanks for another great video!
For what I've read Idaho pasture pigs are easy on pasture and don't root. Agree or disagree?
Agree under the right circumstances
Thanks! Great video as always :)
Looking good 👍
Cool video thanks for sharing
Thx
How do you keep hawks away from the chickens? I see the electrical fence
We’ve never had an issue with hawks *knock on wood*.
Growing fodder is easy but time consuming, unnecessary. Tried fermented feed but they quit eating it after awhile. My birds have grass, mixed birdseed, scraps, compost pile and garden goodies, sometimes extra cooked eggs, . Work smart, not harder. If you have to buy extra grains for chickens you’re spending more unless you grow them yourself. Just my two cents. Well 5 cents due to inflation 😊
