Are you going to vax your chickens and cows?

Vax chickens? Never heard of it. What kind of vax?

@TerrorTubbie666 Жыл бұрын

@@MandatoryMyocarditis7I don't know what it's called over there in the USA, but if you ask google about "vogelgriep" it'll tell you about a (worldwide!) pandemic among birds, that's been going on since before the corona-pandemic. Over here in the Netherlands (and lots of other countries) birds held for food production as well as birds kept as pet are not allowed to be outside for a few years now, even if they are vaccinated.

They are number 1 on production, but a lot of people like brown eggs. Most don't know there is no difference in quality.

@kurtlives121 7 ай бұрын

Agree on production but they also seem to more resilient and rigorous as well. I’ve lost very few White Leghorns vs other breeds

@Barosunflower Жыл бұрын

I have trained my birds to herd. Outside during the day, in at night. This is the second time I have herded chickens. That’s a cool chicken coop. Your birds will love it. I’m sure my Egg layers would stay outside, if I had one of the solar door. They like to stay out until after dark .

My daughter just lost 32 of her chickens in a coop and set up like that. Couple of dogs that had been abandoned out in the country had got through the fence and killed them all. And if there’s not going to be a fence around it, you really need to block off those flapping backs on the nest box, because anything can get in there.

I love my Run Chicken auto door!!! Hardest part for me is teaching my chickens to go in before it closes.... They just don't seek shelter like my older flock does ( youngest ones are 18 weeks, oldest ones are 6 yrs old) lol

You are an inspiration to me. My family bought a farm in Cocke County Tennessee, Eastern on border of NC. Next month I plan on moving there full time to farm and work remotely on the computer. We plan on chickens and rabbits. Rotating crops between alfalfa and grain. Maybe making some whiskey with surplus grin and fruit. I will plant berries, melons and fruit trees: Peaches and cherries... Small greenhouse as well.

@StoneyRidgeFarmer Жыл бұрын

better do some research on growing alfalfa my friend.....alot of it! Takes a special kind of soil and potential irrigation...research it strongly and talk to your local ag center

Such a nice set up and build. For 100% raccoon protection use 1/2" hardware cloth instead of chicken wire and put 2 x 4 blocking between each rafter. Poop board shelves over the nest boxes with some sweet pdz or sand would help.

anything in a chicken coop is gonna get pooped on for sure. So...in hindsight....maybe the next eggmobile will be put together a little differently

@Self.reliant Жыл бұрын

Those doors are nice but I wasn't thinking when I spent money on mine. My flock is mixed chickens and ducks and a goose. The ducks don't put themselves to bed so I have to go out there every night anyway. But my chickens are almost always in there waiting
