This is the type of youtube content we all need, clear and considered. And why I started to watch the Chicken Master..

Loved this video. It was neat to see Jonah as a little guy. Your family inspires me to chase after my dreams with our littles. Thank you.

I’ve been clabbering my extra milk and the chickens love it. Tons of protein 🤗. I’m also throwing them all the cow patties. Their run is right next to the cow pen. They dig through the manure for undigested grain and are composting it for the garden.

This was a fantastic video! I had no idea just how many things you can feed a chicken! Knowing things like that can make keeping chickens way more economical. I am very seriously thinking on getting some chickens for eggs (I know I eat enough eggs in my household for it to be well worth the effort).

I just went out and did a big coop clean and put out new bedding in -10. Has to be done and they all love the new bedding. 😁

Justin thanks for letting us know about the Teflon coated bulbs! We checked with Mr Google pants and that coating on bulbs is called PTFE…. and it says PTFE is not good for BIRDS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I thought I was being so smart using a plastic bulb incase it broke, then I’d have no glass on the run floor. Who knew!

Thank you Justin, I have three girls... they keep me in eggs and I keep them entertained! Win, win !

Thank you Jason, for all the information about the care of chickens 🐔 🐓🐔

As a crazy chicken lady,, I appreciate this rerun 🙏

I feed them whey with old bread, cornbread, etc. pretty much anything that we are done eating. In the winter I give then black oil sunflower seeds and cracked corn. They are not impressed with the snow but deal with it. I still free range the chickens in the winter. They go under the deck or to the lean-to to dust bath. It's so fun watching them trek behind one another from coop to water to dust bath. The rooster goes running every time the hen announced laying an egg. Entertainment! Never thought to give them road kill.

I loved the video you did a year or two back with the guy that didn't really feed his chickens but they lived on a compost pile or something like that? :) This is a great video for those of us that tend to spoil our chickens a little too much! I hand raised my from hatchlings and they think "I am the Parent" when they hear me talking they come running, they sit down beside me and tell me stories... Kacaca Ka ka ka... :) Crazy chicks!!

You're a little older than my oldest son, and I have been watching your journey for a few years, I just wanted to congratulate you guys on your success online and in real life ❤ 😊 💙

Since moving to the countryside, we have no food waste. If the sheep won't eat it, the chickens will, or it goes on the compost heap. Our chickens love fat trimmings. Before putting compost on beds, I spread it on a tarp for the chickens to pick out the larvae and bugs. And they enjoy grain more when it's been soaked overnight, with a little apple cider vinegar added.

I think this is a video I watched when I first started raising chickens 7 + years ago. It was and continues to be a very helpful video, especially to those that just start out ! Thanks!

I love bring it back...my son who is 11 said look how young they are.much appreciated 🙏

Extremely informative so helpful. Please keep the content coming! Longer videos are better I’m gonna watch all the videos now.

We were just watching this video! The information about lightbulbs literally blew my mind, I had no idea you weren’t supposed to use those in the house

You can hear they are Happy,talking all thw time🐓🐓🐓

Is it just me.... Or were the chicken sounds really satisfying?? 🤣

A young Justin! I love this. This is classic!

Look how young Justin is!!! Great video!!

A young Justin and young chiddlers 😆

Wow a throw back video. Look how little the kids were.

You are so laid back in this “younger” version of you!!

Facinating. Thanks Justin

Absolutely enjoyed this nostalgic video!

When I boil up my chicken and Turkey carcass I do it until the bones are soft and can be mashed down. My chickens get fed this and they love it. We get a great stock and nothing gets wasted.

Good to see you in erlier stage of vloging.💜

I love these one's cause I've seen the kids when they where young not saying there old lol made my day. And plus i love the 🎥

Blessings to all!

that was good, educational, and entertaining at the same time........................good job !

I've been watching you for about 3 years now,,,,, this was fun to watch how your channel has changed and a blast to see Jonah so much younger. I think he's about Gideon's age here.

I used to grow my own meal worms using potato peels to feed a pet Japanese Fire Newt. He lived over 20 years. The pet store workers were amazed how long he lived

Love your videos. Great ideas, thank you.

Justin here playing Mr. Dressup with a wheelbarrow for a tickle trunk

I loved to take rye grain soaked in water in a dark place for a few days. Put in the sunlight and grows green grass. On a rotation you can give green grass everyday.

Liked this video! Very good info 👌 I have 5 hens and live in the city. Good info on what to feed chickens 🐔 😀

Great suggestions Justin! My girls will eat most things and I had a girl who was low in niacin (she couldn’t walk straight) so bread,rice and oats brought her back to life. I also have no problem feeding chicken bones from soup stock to my chickens. My rabbits soiled hay is always interesting to them… i am in Canada so it is cold here and they love scratching up stuff… my girls do really well with whole corn, black oil sunflower and DE too…. I usually put whole wheat or barley too but that’s not a favourite. Last year black oil sunflower was a favourite But for some reason whole corn was a big fav this year! Never know…. Just need to keep trying new things… kitchen scraps are always a big hit!

That was very interesting, thank you for sharing 👍

I have to say THANK YOU for this video!!! I work at a restaurant and I’ve been bringing home ~ food scraps ie. hamburger, steak, romaine, fish etc and my chickens are loving it!! Watching this video reassured me that I was doing a great thing for my beautiful ladies 🐓 🐓 🐓. I don’t feed them chicken though. Just seems “wrong” to me. Milk??? Never thought to give them milk!!

They sure got a bunch of goodies that day!!!

Enjoyed this Video, Really Really want to get some chickens!!!!!!!

Thanks Justin!

Great rerun

Straw normally can't mold. It's just dry stalks. What you're talking about is hay. Straw is a bedding material. Hay is a feed.

Great video, rich în information. That is the real school that we desevrve here on country. You are looking very good and healthy. A real Man.

That was excellent ‼️

Thank you so much.

Oh my gosh this is great content! I don't own any chickens yet but it sure makes me want to get some🐓🐔

I have a small coup but huge chicken run they only go in at night even if raining or snow the smaller coup keeps them warmer in winter , I give all our scraps to chickens every morning from night b4 if no scraps I give dried worms and go into empty Lott next to me and grab clover it’s still growing where I am. I eat salad every day so what’s ever still on my plate goes into chicken bucket for next morning…they love sprouted lentels

Thank you Justin so very much for all this info you give.70 year old don't have the resource or money. You really, really help me for years. Thanks again Justin, I'm blessed to have YOU & MELISSA !! I have licky GUT and have some real bad problems. I know MELISSA could help me ,,,,( BUT I KNOW SHE IS Busy).! Blessings for your Sweet family!! Love all your kids ❤💕

Very useful information

Since your chickens are under your poly tunnel you could make an area to plant a cover crop or toss old seeds you won't use in the garden because they are getting out dated..put compost....cover planted seeds with a 4'×6' 2"x4" frame with hardware cloth on top to put over seeds sprouting...they will grow up through the wire, The chickens can nibble tips off providing fresh greens all winter....without digging them up......peas make a tasty nibble...lettuce spinach, kale any old seeds you won't use mixed up is O.K....start another frame each month so one is always growing to eat...pull off wire cover when second one ready to eat do a new spot start another one...you are building new soil for your poly frame garden with these compost + peas= nitrogen added with these frames put them where you will be planting your spring veggys...

It is always super windy here. We have the deep liter method going on in the coop and a radiant flat panel heater that they can go stand in front of if they get cold. We have a heated water stand that their water sits on to keep it from freezing (which it actually did just a bit yesterday as was -8. We have hay bales just around the outside of the coop and run to block the wind. Our rooster does have a tiny bit of frostbite on his comb but today they are staying in the coop (of their own accord as their door is still open) and it looks ok. Just gave them a freshly cooked squash just slightly warm. They get crushed shell, scratch, and meal worms daily. When I remember, I give them scraps. They seem overall happy thus far.

Uncle Justin is centerfold in the most recent Premier one catalog with Josiah in a supporting role. There is not an apron in sight! So is it a doppelganger?? The chickshaw 2.0 and turkey shaw are featured! So cool ! He's bringing sexy homesteading back. So bad he wears the plaid! I have made the chickshaw 2.0 and it is SO efficient! I have gone from zero chickens to sixteen chickens, 14 hens and two roosters, and hatching my own chicks. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Awesome brother

thankyou sir!

We also feed them some pumpkins which can stay in jur cellar til spring.

I've used an aquarium heater in bucket and barrel waterers

North Carolina? I used to live in Troy and asheboro, loved growing up there.

I love how there's just chicken butts across the bottom of the shot

We have chickens, Guineas, quail, turkeys, peafowl, geese, and ducks who never have supplemental lighting. And we have 20 parrots who live in our house so we use NOTHING Teflon coated no ptfe coating either as it can kill them within seconds we ONLY cook with cast iron for our safety and theirs

First winter most of our chickens didnt want to leave n would walk only on the shoveled paths.. this winter they loved the snow plus we didnt have much of it ...

Look at little Jonah!

Do you have any suggestions for a chicken who has been picked on and is lacking the downy feathers to keep warm?

Man... Seeing the stuff that has changed from the time this video was recorded to the current videos, kinda nuts to see and compare what ya used to do to what you have started doing in the last few months over the last 3 years.

Great info; yes, let the chickens rest.

Wow thanks Justin l had no idea that chickens could eat so many things! 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👍👍👍💯💯💯

We never did light n still had eggs n we live in northeaster wa state.. obviously lot less but still... key is opening them early at crack of dawn ...

...on par...wow...so perfect...! 😉

My biggest issue is some of my hens (that just started laying) are digging in the bedding on the floor to lay rather than using their nesting boxes. Not sure why.

I thought I missed a video from a Long time ago. 😁🍀

You can eat egg shells too! Great for calcium.

If you go back to the previous way of shooting, let's live with you the events as they are, Justin

Look how cute little Jonah is!!!

Holy cow! Look at tiny little Jonah!

I agree with the chickens being related to the dinosaurs so true if they were big enough they would eat us in a heartbeat. Haven't redone my bedding yet I'm waiting on a man to come get a mean rooster but I plan to asap.

Baby Johna in the background!🥺 when did he grew up in!

Justin, did you know that to test eggs it is like the nuts to see what are fresh or not it is just like eggs. If you want to see if eggs are bad put them in water and the eggs that rise to the top are bad.

We have -40 this week in northern BC Canada…. I can’t open the chicken run door :(

Whoa

Video only 720 looks terrible on a large 4k tv

I hardly recognised that apron. 😀

Thought you had an everfliow waterer

My chickens seemed to like the curds from sour milk better than fresh milk.

Boy this must be a very old video!!...You look so young and your beard isn't grey!! Jonah behind you looks 3 years younger!!

👌👌👌

5 Year old RERUN waaaaa

What breed of chickens are they?

Jonah was sooooo little 🤯

Hello..🤝 salam kenal

48 ways to be Preppy with your chickens. My chickens run on the Yard roost in a tree and are the happiest chickens around they don’t have to have your Richie fancy ways

Look at Jonah! Looks to be the age of Mr. Brown

How small Jonah is on this video

🤗❤

🙏🏻❤️👍🏻

When we had chickens we learned that feeding them too much bread brought the egg production down.

We've been -20 to -30 below at night... and below 0 during the day... makes it more of a pain. 🙄

👏🏻👏🏻👋🏼🇺🇸

no bananas, citrus or avacado from what I read on chicken care websites. my hens wont touch mulberries
