BEST Thing We EVER Done For The Chicken Coop Pen!! (Raising Chickens)
Рет қаралды 102,072
4 жыл бұрынIt has been raining for 2 weeks now and the chicken coop or chicken run is starting to show it! So we decided to experiment and put gravel or rocks in the chicken coop run and this may be the best thing we have done here on the farm!

We are working on the large chicken coop run today because we are wanting to try and stop the chicken yard for getting too muddy and try and keep the chicken run as clean as possible. So we decided to try something and that is to put gravel as a bedding in the chicken coop and this will hopefully let the rain water to drain down in the rocks and not cause any mud in the chicken pen, because our chickens are living in luxury in this chicken mansion here on the homestead.

For those wondering about the pea gravel: This is only a small shady area around our chicken coop. Our chickens free range our entire 7 1/2 acres and they have lots of places to scratch around, eat bugs, dust bathe & get to be a chicken. 👍👍👍

Cog Hill Family Farm I know you all love ALL your animals very much and take EXCELLENT care of them. And even though, you shouldn’t need to explain yourselves to anyone about the way you care for your animals, I understand why you do it. Shoot, if I were an animal, I would either want to live at Cog Hill Farms or Lumnah Acres. Lol SERIOUSLY!!! God loves you. God bless. ❤️

Im gonna get girls back next year after this madness settles down. My previous girls (6 at a time) had 1/3 acre to scratch n scrape all to them selves and always produced happy sunny golden rich eggs

How has this held up after a year? I’m unable to get hog fuel for our pens and am debating on the pea gravel.
@CarolTurner-co8nm 6 ай бұрын
Can you give an update on the pea gravel? How has it held up, was there any issues with the heat during the summer and did it keep the mud out? Thank you for all of your videos, I love watching and implementing some of your ideas.

I don't know hows there's enough hours in the day to do everything that gets done at Cog Hill Farm. Wonderful place to bring children up, so much for them to learn about life and what's involved in growing our food. Such a lovely family!!!😊✨

You apply the rule of if you ... love a being you set them free....... and it work. They stay because they are happy with you and they choose your place . You show the world it is possible to have all those animals getting along and being take care with love and freedom that is what we all aspire , animals too. This is why l love your family, there is so much real love so unselfish it is also respect for nature.

Haha. I love how you talk to all your animals. I do the same thing. I think they listen, but it may have something to do with the food I give them twice a day. The pea gravel seems like a great idea. Give us a follow-up in a couple of months.

I would have put a base of much bigger gravel first and the smaller one on the top, those small gravel are going to dissapear in the soil and you are going to put more and more,..... l have done this so l know a base cover of cheap big gravel first and the small one on the top work realy well. i hope l am wrong and you enjoye your beautiful work wish you the very best it look so nice. Your garden is an enchanting place , l think the fairies are there at night doing the work for you and your peacock is splendid , thankyou for showing that beauty
