There’s something about receiving new chicks that seems to make everyone smile. Great daily videos! I used your seed starter video to start 4 trays of seeds, thanks for the step-by-step!

We had several flocks, extremely easy to care for , minimal maintenance and the kids got a great experience with them.

spring clamp over the heat lamp clamp is a great idea

a heat lamp is a TERRIBLE idea, chunks

Josh, I helped raise chickens before and would have liked to see a short primer on types of feed like Starter, Grower, Layer, etc. I think it is important to know long each cycle is. Great video. Love this series!

I love baby chicks. They are so cute. I have a couple dozen on order for the beginning of June. Too cold here to get them earlier in Atlantic Canada. I have kept layers many times over the years, but the ones I have coming are Broilers/Meat Kings. TTYL Thanks..

Hey! Love your videos! We're currently building a Chick Shaw and are wondering about the 1" hardware cloth on the "floor"...I know it's for easier cleaning - the poo falls thru...BUT I've read that weasels can fit thru anything greater than 7/8". Idaho has weasels...just trying to be proactive prior to our build! Thank you!

What kids of chickens did you get?

@elaines5179 2 жыл бұрын

In my suburban small lot home my local code allows up to 12 chicks, must have a square ft of space each, but no roosters allowed. Check your own governing codes before buying.

Planning (building our own) a chicken coop very shortly. Have all supplies you mentioned. I have an endless supply of pine shavings, the question I have is how do you dispose safely the soiled shavings?

@RoseThistleArtworks 4 жыл бұрын

That makes really good compost, if you have a garden or trees, or make your own compost.

@timowagner1329 4 жыл бұрын

Just out of curiousity, I believe he said that you can just put a new layer of shavings on top of the old one(s). How often can you do that before you have to clean everything up (and start from the bottom)?

@Bb-eg8cx 3 жыл бұрын

Look into deep littering, Edible Acres on yt.

@Bb-eg8cx 3 жыл бұрын

The soiled shavings could be put into round ring made out of wire mesh. Just fill it up and let it be. U can add green grass clippings, leaves, food scraps. = Compost.

@ptrain9020 4 жыл бұрын

We are about to have our first set of chicks in May. We are making it a surprise for our kids. You mentioned something in the video about just adding a layer of wood shavings on top of the ones they already pooped on etc. So when do you clean out the old shavings and give them fresh? I hear people talking changing out the shavings regularly, but it sounds like you don't but rather just add another layer on top.

I know "science" would dispute this but, fertilized eggs from having a Rooster are "alive" with life information and are better for you. Just a thought, but yes Josh, you do not "need" one for hens to be productive egg layerers. I know roosters can be tough on hens, but they may actually like having a "man" around to show them some purpose and of course sex🐣🐔🐓😉
