Thanks mate, it’s a great way to get started and keep things pretty simple. Keep rats and mice away too as they keep moving.

It’s a great way to do it. Would love to work out how to do it on a large scale but I’m not sure how easy it would be. I your stay safe from bird flu, it is terrible this year.

The most important part!!!! WHERE CAN WE BUY THESE EGGS???
@maxdouglas857 Жыл бұрын
Look at richard Perkins or a farm called heather hill farm. They do that as well and have come up with some awesome designs. Both have KZfaq channels👍
@baldysfarm Жыл бұрын
Yes, I’ve seen their designs and think they are great. We have to have a few different things because of the laws but I really like how they have done it.

Would be nice to hear about the weekly/monthly expenses and costs to get into the pasture raised eggs. Nice earner for you for sure, well done.
@baldysfarm Жыл бұрын
I can try and put something together for another video if you like. The biggest expense really is the feed once your get the ball rolling.
@44birdie44 Жыл бұрын
@@baldysfarm ya can imagine the feed has increased big time in the last year or two aswell. Have you any arable to grow your own? Been a while since saw your videos so don't remember if you are tillage?

Cool video James hens are how I started my farming career kept them on deep litter which is a mix of wood shavings and a little peat for red mite on the roosts we killed them with a paint brush and red diesel👍
@baldysfarm Жыл бұрын
Hey paul, I have heard about using red diesel before but didn’t know exactly how it was done. Really interesting.

Very interesting video James 👍 especially about the use of ash to combat red mite which my neighbour has and for ever trying to get rid of it, any particular fire ash ? Coal, wood, ash ??a lot better than the 1950's farming book I've got with suggestion which was to dip them in lamp oil,!!!!😳 like your trailer design lay out.🙂👍
@baldysfarm Жыл бұрын
We just use the ash from wood fires and it does the trick. Not sure if coal works the same but I would think so. I don’t know where we learnt it but I know I read somewhere in a regenerative guide.

This is an excellent video and a prime example how to raise hens in a healthy environment. Can you ship few dozen to Ireland ? I'd gladly buy 😃

Thanks brendan, I could try but I don’t know how they would look when they got there 😂 we have started to get a really good following locally with them which is really great. 👍

Do you get any issues with condensation on the roof?
@baldysfarm Жыл бұрын
Never had any yet. I think the air flow due to the mesh floor keeps it at bay. And the roof is on a slant so the moisture runs out of the shed. 👍
