  • This is one clip in a series of videos demonstrating how Kingbird Farm, a certified organic diversified small farm in Berkshire, NY, produces eggs from pastured laying hens. This clip is from the Video Mentor series, produced by the Cornell Small Farms Program (nebeginningfarmers.org), filmed and edited by Peter Carroll of Ithaca, NY. This project was supported by the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP) of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, USDA, Grant # 2009-49400-05878.

    I have started a simmilar project in Kenya, Africa, and belive me using this natural system up to the level Kingbird farm has done is not as easy. Kudos to Karma, Mike and Rozzy and especially for sharing these insightful videos. My dream is to visit Kingbird farm and learn how to make a feather plucker or purchase one and also buy a simmilar hatchery. I look forward to learning about the correct pure breed for broilers

    Incredibly interesting video, and very informative. I wish you had said more about what you are able to charge for your eggs. Many of us really wish our food supply infrastructure would all operate as you do, but the challenge is that people are unwilling to pay the real cost of real food. In Sam's club, you can get a huge, roasted, ready to eat full chicken for $4. Ready to eat, just take it home and put it on the table. A frozen organic chicken which is much smaller can cost $25. The problem, few people are willing to pay this, and hence it is hard to develop a robust natural food supply system. I pay the extra to get real food, but few people appear willing to.

    Excellent job! Keep up the good work!! I will never buy a factory farmed eggs anymore, only farmed raised. In the scheme of things, they are actually not that expensive, but relatively cheap. First of all, they don't even taste good; secondly, I want to support the practice of natural farming. Thanks for keeping it going!!!!

  • @Jefferdaughter
    @Jefferdaughter Před 10 lety +1

    A couple reasons that checking the width between the pinbones can still give culls with eggs inside: when hens stop laying to go through the molt, the abdomen shrinks and the bones can become less flexible and move closer together again. In other words, those hens with close pinbones and eggs inside were probably on the verge of begining, or had just started laying again.
    These birds are banded, so they know the age, but pullets at the point of lay will obviously still have a close spacing between the pin bones as well.

    Absolutely Loved the video. It was Very thoroughly explained thank you. May I suggest you have that you adopt using a couple of goats in with the cow's to drop the forage that the cows won't eat. This way you will have extra money from the goat meat, plus milk from the nanny :) God bless you and your family.

    A cheap alternative to plastic tarps (free) is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane, epdm. Most commercial roofers will give it away from their roof replacement projects. Its costs money for them to dispose of it and it would last nearly forever for your purposes. Also by doing so you would be keeping it out of the landfills. regards, L

    Is the price for eggs you sell at the farmers market higher than the price you receive for the eggs you sell to the supermarket?. I'm thinking that is so, however do you get any grousing from the supermarket for that practice?

    • @Danumber100
      @Danumber100 Před 8 lety +3

      Hey, Rafael. You can buy bands at some feed stores or you can order them online. A lot of the time the bands have numbers on them OR they're just a specific color to mark which generation is which. I hope that helps to answer your question! :)

    @dennisholliday2454 Před 8 lety

    Thanks for all you do to produce quality eggs. I've been looking for eggs that have been produced in a humane way and grass fed. In the super market (kroger) all I see is grain fed although they are claiming to be organic. But i want eggs from free range grass fed chickens . If I see Kingbird farms eggs ..i will buy them. I have paid up to $5.69 for a dozen of eggs that were organic but not grass fed.

      @iwantosavemoney Před 4 lety

      DeAsUnJa any heritage bird will do both pretty well but the Australorp is great layer and forger I would say as far as heritage birds the best duel purpose bird you can get. Their are hybrids that will out produce and their are meat birds that will out grow but, it just depends on what you want.

    Sorry for a dumb question from a concrete dweller, how do you know if a egg is fertile or not if the expiry date is 5 weeks as mentioned in the video?

    • @sunny71169
      @sunny71169 Před 7 lety

      The expiry date is not relevant to the fertile/not fertile issue. If the hen is accessible to a rooster, the egg is presumed fertilized. If a rooster can't get to the hen, the egg can't be fertilized. Unless of course the farmer leaves rooster condoms in the hen house, the roosters have taken vows of celibacy, or the hens' mom won't let her out of her sight.

    @jakerichardson98 They're experimenting with breeding broilers, but it's a lot more complicated as the economically viable commercial breeds aren't heritage breeds, so it's hard to get a stable, consistent breed produced on-farm.
