My editor snuck a another UFO into this one. 😂👽🛸🐔❤️ Did you see it?

I'm obsessed with my girls so whatever you tell me to do I AM DOING!(new chicken mom here)

I have one more suggestion to add: Re-read Dalia's book, LET'S ALL KEEP CHICKENS!, cover-to-cover to refresh our memories so we can keep our chickies healthy and happy. Reading this every year is my goal. Thanks so much Dalia for creating & getting this book published. New chicken mama who feels confident that I can do this. ❤️

I just love you! I have 3 acres, 13 chickens and 4 ducks. (All new to me in the last 18 months.) Your videos have been a life (chicken?) saver! We healed bumblefoot and a prolapsed vent! I literally can't remember my life without them, they are my JOY, my challenge and new love. Thank you for your loving encouragement!

My chickens are young but so far the past two years they’ve molted over the winter!! I always think “geeze guys you’re missing the point of this” because they’re dropping feathers like crazy once the cold hits

I love the ufo! 😊

I said I would not get another rescue since the last 2 beat up my special needs bandtom, but I rescued a 2 year old mini cochin whose flock gotten eaten by a raccon. she was living with some turkens and silkies but refusing to move so her nails are narely. she was so happy when I brought her home and she laid an egg in 2 hours.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It is nasty hot and humid in central indiana today. Unusually so! We prepped with a cooler and bought some ice ---- AND IT WORKED!!! My pullets were panting even under shade (the leghorn was the worst) but they’re laying in front of the “air conditioner” (in some wet grass, thanks to me) very content. I also gave them some frozen fruit which they demolished and have kept their water iced and with nutridrench and electrolytes. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I’m going to set up the mini cooler in the egg box with the door open tonight! I’ve been using the frozen water bottles but tonight will be much hotter.

You are a genius😀

🙋‍♂️ suggestions I pulled from numerous channels: 👉Fall I give them extra sunflower seeds and meal worms/ grubs👉 👉Mulch natural a finer blend from a commercial nursery. Your local county grinds up mulch too. Look at the texture to see what is shredded in it and a finer non-died mix works great. A great way to keep the coop area dry and a great way to allow Mother Nature to grow natural foods for them 👉 Wood Ash (burned up sticks pine cones from the fire pit etc) and Demetrius Earth added to a covered area of the coop run that’s caged and has a 8x8 covered area of very dry and super loose dirt. I mix it up and build mound’s of this dry dirt daily. the girls are always busy wearing down the pile looking for scratch that’s mixed in the area and It’s a very large dry area were at time four girls are dust bathing at once. After a week minimum it gets retreated in the summer and after a heavy rain the perimeter always gets wet. In the colder months I retreat every other week 👉outside the dry coop area. I have a second larger pile of dirt/ compost piles about 2 feet tall and 6 feet wide that they wear down throughout the week. I rebuild the mound up a couple times throughout and that also keeps them busy. 👉Free Ranging. The whole outside perimeter of my yard has a 2-3 foot wide natural mulch bedding about 6-8 inches deep and that’s also keeps them busy. I have 6 bird feeders and they get the mix of seeds that the wild ones drop. More busy stuff to do. 👉I have plastic gallon milk jugs in shaded area around the yard with fresh water and I add a cap full of Mother Apple Cider Vinegar all year long. 👉4 inch PCV pipe with a 45 degree bend with a half-moon cap cut to allow for easy access. I use as feeders as well with a mix of 17% feed in the dry area of the coop run. One tube has crushed oyster shells 🐚 so they have access to it all year long 👉 👉Outdoor ceilings fan in that same covered 8x8 coop run for air circulation and an additional light source if need. 42 inch ceiling fan was on sale at Lowe’s for $65 dollars this summer 👉 👉Outdoor ceilings fan in that same covered 8x8 coop run for air circulation and an additional light source if need. 42 inch ceiling fan was on sale at Lowe’s for $65 dollars this summer 👉 clean the nesting area daily/ inspect clean as needed. And fresh bedding as needed. I rake the dry coop run and the dry area under the coop 3-4 times a week and refresh the dirt mounds for more busy/ distractions for the girls . I mix in both areas Demetrius earth and wood ash to keep it fresh 👉 👉mirror. A thicker mirror I put in /attached /hung to the fenced wall in that dried coop run. More distractions for the girls

When I got my baby chicks in May, I started from day one with apple cider vinegar, raw and unfiltered honey plus garlic. They never had pasty butt nor did any die. That sold me to continue and they are still doing great! They have fresh water options also

I’m in the same boat here in New Orleans. Our feels like temperature has been in the triple digits all summer because of the humidity. I bring my 4 girls frozen watermelon,cantaloupe, grapes and strawberries to try to keep them cool. We have 2 seasons here Hot and Boiling.

Dalia, you are delightfully adorable and so funny. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your chicky ideas and advise. All the best to you in Chickenlandia!

Thanks for the motivation Dalia. I am treating a Buff Orpington for bumblefoot now and I must say the herbal remedial path is the way to go! Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary, Lavender, coconut oil and tea tree oil. Thanks for everything!

We got our chicks back in April and we live in Dallas ft.worth area....let me tell you..this Summer heat has made it sooo hard. I take frozen water bottles out on 3-4 hr shifts all throughout the day! Our temps have been hovering over 108-110. It's been tough.🐔

Good morning beautiful lady have a wonderful day

Great video very helpful ❤️❤️🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🐔🐔🐔🐔💜💕

My hens that should be ready to lay eggs haven't, and I'm pretty sure it's because it's been over 100 degrees most days for the past couple months. . . Poor girls. BTW. Can't stop getting roosters... 3/5 of my first chickens have been roosters 😂 I was able to give away 2. They gave me a young one hoping it'd be a pullet. It crowed today and I knew beforehand because at this point I just know their mannerisms even when they're real young.

I add DE (food grade) to my flock's crumbles (along with crushed oyster shell & grit). Seems to do the trick for parasites.. 😁👍🐔❤

Great content ! I love chickens!

And muddy, mucky eggs. Blick!

I didn’t know they could eat garlic, will definitely be using it! I wonder if wild garlic works the same? I tend to pick and dehydrate wild garlic in the spring so I then have a powder that can last into winter. Then it’s free! Not that a bulb of garlic costs that much 😆

Dahlia thank you for your videos. I just bought your book. Can’t wait to read it and I look forward to having it in my library. ❤

I heard pumpkin is a natural de-wormer.

Thank you for the reminder! Going out and completely cleaning out the coop nesting and roosting area was on my list! You are the best!

Don't forget about Diatomaceous earth! In their own food and on them as well.

I learn one thing never turn my back on my rooster, so it won’t attack me, then at night to hold it like a baby

I have 24 chickens.. up from 9 at the start of spring 🤪 I do have a large coop approx 12x20 shed and they seem content and have plenty of room. I am certainly hoping they have enough room for me to make a decent size dust bath for them for fall/winter as I do not have a covered run. Thank you for all your incite! ❤

I've already had one molt and she definitely looks like a zombie chicken. She is cranky and she goes around growling at everybody. Lol

Well hello there how are you doing today

I can't wait for summer here 😢

How do I know if a chicken is struggling with a molt? Signs? Symptoms?

Hi Daliah! Hope today is bringing you peace, harmony and love. I have a couple questions please. Question1: I have a LOT of fire ants in my area. And they are biting my chickens. I don't want them to turn into infections. How do I get rid of the fire ants out of their runner area? Can I use diatomaceous earth on the ground? Will that kill the grass? Question 2: How can you tell when the chickens are ready to mate or if they already have? Do they put off a weird smell when they do?

How much bread do you feed a chicken per day

Many chickens do you have?

I’ve been there to drop off a chiken

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST WINTER WITH DUCKS. I ONLY HAVE 2. THEY HANG OUT WITH MY CHICKENS, BUT I KEEP THEM IN THEIR OWN AREA AT NIGHT IN BARN. ANY HELPFUL IDEAS FOR THEM? THANK YOU❤

Do pullets molt?

Chickens you is good I like chicken you I'M HAPPY when see chicken you ❤❤❤❤❤ videos me the same too you

Where can I find good laying hens

My girls refuse up eat dried insects. Why?! 😂

i need help i have no idea what to do with my 8 chicks they hatched july 10th and are still with their mom but i cant let them outside because i have 2 cats so im thinking about putting them in big old place where we used to store corn its very long but the problem is in that place ive put another hen who was pecked and had some injuries so if i put the chicks with that hen will they get along since shes old

DAHLIA, I READ SILKIES REQUIRE EXTRA PROTEIN, IS THAT TRUE?

Hiii Dalia, hope you are doing well. I just wantbto share about my chicken and rooster. They both are experiencing different symptoms. My rooster has runny nose, and breaths through his mouth. He also have a lot of stringy white saliva/ mucous in the mouth. Every time i clean it, it comes again. My chicken have a hunched posture. She sometimes poop white, sometimes hard but most of the time its slimy and frothy. He vent is always making squeaky sounds. But she also runs, eats and play. But her abdomen is inflamed and pink. I LITERALLY have tried and experimented so many homeopathic medicines on them. No effecttt. Wpuld really appreciate if you read this amd help. 😭😭😭😭 I don't wanna lose them.

I have watered down a section of the pen when the weather is near 100. They will lay in the wet dirt to cool down. Is that a mistake and will it cause disease on their feet?

Fall is parasite season? Crap. Cuz I’ve been gifted depluming mites from the crows and have been battling for months. Ugh.

Which herbs are in the Milly's Herbal mix?

Hello Ms I am Mohammad Zobair Jalili form AFghanistan I have a couple chicken with nine babys they eat their poop what Can i do plause help me some information about this Good lack

Who’s ready for BIG E !!!!!!!

A good 4 or 5 of my 14 seem to molt in the summer rather than fall. Is this concerning? Or are they just silly?

Any info on chicken tunnels?

My oldest hen died today of flystrike. Is there a way to treat and prevent flystrike? She started with vent gleet, and I treated her for that, but apparently, I didn't do a good enough job 😢. Does flystrike spread?
