I'm a vegetarian and recently I watched a video showing how certain supermarket chains treat the animals they farm (specifically chicks). Or at least how an extension of them treats them very badly. For the sake of profit. Broke my heart. Can't eat eggs anymore. Until I farm them just like this. How much care and consideration; it was a pleasure to watch.

this is one of the most cutest things to do in the life.

This guy is one of the most pleasant KZfaqrs I’ve ever seen. We could be friends. Thumbs up 👍🏻

Great video! This makes us even more excited to bring home this years chicks!

I always wanted to raise colorful chicks in my childhood but no one let me cuz they die so quickly and today I bought my younger sister 4 chicks and she is so happy!! Watching this video so I could help my sis to raise those cutiesssss!!!

Thanks for the video, perfect timing! We might be getting our first set of child chicks first week in March! Really recognize all your videos, we've got were given learned masses!

Thank you so much my parents say im not responsible so i made a deal to raise a baby chick by myself since baby chicks had already hatched in our back yard. Thank you for these tips! ❤

My Dad bought chicks every year at Easter. I took care of the chicks. My Dad built a coop outside that had a cover on it. It was a stationary coop. After they got out there dad cleaned and put new straw out and meal worms and I fed them sratche food and oyster shells when they were able to start laying. I loved that job. My first school skirts were Chicken Feed sacks, they used to use material for the bags of feed.

FUN!! Chick season is the best. We love raising them from chicks, then apparently feeding them to the hawks, owls, and eagles. Rad

Oh i remember when we dropped a little chick as kids, we were so heartbroken but my grandma ended up saving the little guy!

I watched many videos and 5 weeks ago got the supplies and 15 chicks. Now I am on my second set of 15 (and 6 turkey). Thank you for your time and videos!

I just ordered my first 10 chicks. I’ll pick them up at the and of April from a local chicken farmer. You make it simple and easy to understand without a whole lot of stress. Thank you so much for these videos! I’m going to need all the help I can get!

Thank you! My family just got baby chicks today and we are very excited to complete setting up our place for the chicks!

Thank you for this video. It's great to find out that there are people who share their passion for taking care of chicks.

It also helps if you put place a cardboard or two under your food and waterer to avoid food and bedding from getting into them. My grandma and grandpa had a regular brooder house for all the chicks when they first came (in Wisconsin) with a door that opened to the outside where they had put up snow fence to allow the chicks outside when old enough, but too young to join the regular flock. I used large marbles in my waterers to keep the little one from drowning. Have had chickens, guineas, turkeys, ducks, geese and even a 1993 Great Flood Rescue pair of Pheasants from a family in the Mo Bottoms area between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The kids were in 4-H back then and my son had the Grand Champion Market Bird Champion that year! Been involved with the birds since I was 1.5 years old with my Grandma and still have them today 66 years later!

Thanks for the video, perfect timing! We will be getting our first set of baby chicks first week in March! Really appreciate all of your videos, we have learned a lot!

I get my birds from Murray McMurray also. Great company to deal with and they do their best to ensure you get off on the right foot.

Excellent! I just ordered my first ever baby chicks...great to see this kind of info. 👍🐣🐓🍗

I just bought our first flock. I've never raised chickens before so this is a first for our family. Got 12 ISA Browns. Thanks for the video, hope all goes well.

I really enjoy your content! You have inspired me to start my own KZfaq channel and have gotten me excited about farming! We recently purchased a mini farm and are in the process of transforming it to fulfill our dream. Thanks so much, keep it up!

Yep it's that time of year but up here it's snowing everyday it seems like lately dang ..but glad to see your getting things rolling there getting your animals set for the year. it's a good thing anyways I always enjoy your vids bud and looking forward to your live feed in near future talk soon bud God bless

Nice video! I hatched out and raised thousands of chicks and I would always lose a few in the brooder. I finally found that a little oxytetracycline in the water does wonders, brings the losses down to zero! They only need that the first couple weeks then they are good to go.

I am new to buying and raising chickens. Thank you for sharing your setup and advice. Very helpful and not too long winded.

So cute Josh. They look very healthy can’t wait to see them grow up and roam your farm. Free range is great. I have some on free range there awesome pets I love them. Happy times. 👍🏻🐓

Great video - very helpful for first time chick owners. We are getting ours tomorrow and you helped with our confidence!

I have plans to start raising laying hens and I've been doing extensive research and watched several KZfaq videos and so far yours my favorite. You have such a warm and friendly personality and your video was so informative! Thanks, friend! 🙂

Omg they are soo fluffy!

Lol the chick is like WHY IS THIS CREATURE DAMN HOLDING ME

We are getting 25 Red Star chicks from Murray McMurray tomorrow. We followed your tips on the set up! Woooooo! My 8 year old does our videos because he wants to be like you! He is gonna do a brooder video this week......Keep up the good work!

I smile whenever a video pops up in my feed. I just found your channel and Everytime YT suggests a past one I haven't seen yet I smile.

I've been wanting to raise Chickens for 20 years. I love all animals and Chickens are so cute ! I'm moving to Kentucky soon from Myrtle Beach where I can have some property and be able to do what I want on it and I'll also be retired then. Enjoyed your brooder video and just subscribed to your channel. Tks much !

Just spotted the Honda CT110 in the background! We lovingly call them Postie bikes in Australia as our postmen use them to deliver the mail! I’ve got one myself! Awesome little bike !

Nicely done. I have always started them in a cardboard box and had much success. You have a very nice set up. Surprised to see you're starting them in February, but now is probably fine where you are. Good luck, my friend!

I just got my first set.. SUPER EXCITED!!!! after watching this video I did everything right.. Just their growing process now..

Thank you so much I just got baby chiks

Thank you for this video! I'm definitely going to watch your other chicken videos 😄 I live in city limits so I can only have 6 hens, but I'll be getting some black australorp pullets just as soon as I get the coop put together

I would raise up that plate warmer one notch. Looks mighty low. I ordered my pullets from McMurray last fall. No fatalities, or illnesses and 4 of the 5 just started laying...very happy with them!

Have raised chicks for decades you have covered every thing I would have covered thank you

Aw! The 🐥s are so cute and small. I raised these 👶🏻 🐓s in kindergarten at my former elementary 🏫. 👍🏻 if you like 👶🏻 animals.

Thank you for sharing! Your Family just got a little bigger!

From what I have learned and heard is, if your birds start to become aggressive to one another, you can simply change to a red light. I know the experiment was done with turkeys, but I would think it would also work for chicks too

I have watch about 15 chicken raising videos and this one has had some of the best advice

I can tell you have a lot of respect and love for the chicks that makes me so happy☺️🐔❤️ I’m getting chicks tomorrow thank you for the info!!❤️

Now your getting into an are I am experienced in, raising laying hens. We only bought peeps once and remember getting a mix of males and females. We got less than 10% rosters which we ate after 6 months. We got a roster from a friend and my grandfather gave us an old brood hen so we hatched and raised our own hens after that. After the hens quit laying, they ended up as Sunday diner.

Great explanation and video for starting something like this, thanks Josh. Good luck with the chicks!

Omg! They are super cute. Very nice video. Thank you for being so gentle and being super caring to the baby chicks.

We have just got our chicks 2 days ago this video has been so helpful!

Great video. I have got lots of enthusiasm to bring chick in my house. Really It's amazing to see the little chicks. Thanks for the beautiful video.

round and round and fluffy balls so cute i had alot of them many years ago

Thank you so much! We have an incubator and fertilized eggs and this really distresses me thank you so much for the information

Great video! We are brand new to living on a farm and homesteading and are about to buy our first chickens. This was great to watch, thanks for sharing!!

Awesome. Mine come first week in April. I’m documenting it on KZfaq too.

Can't wait till I get some chicks! They are soooo fluffy! 🐥🐣😍

New to keeping chickens. Just got our first chicks yesterday. Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.

My McMurray order is supposed to be coming on April 6th. Very excited!

I’m raising chickens and me and my dad are trying to make stuff for our chickens 🐓 and this so much help 😘

Nice brooder set up and so educative. You could hasten the feeding by sprinkling the feed on a paper placed on the litter for them to pick.

This is so much wonderful. You have taught me some tips on how to raise Chicks. Thanks so much as I am really satisfied and happy with your firm.

You’re so awesome! Like watching a grown up Mr. Rogers show. 👍😊😉🌟

I'm getting 3 baby chicks soon. Need all the advice on this thank you. I'm so excited to have these chickens as pets!

I am starting with my first set of chicks so this was super helpful in every way!!!!

Just starting here with the girls. Two chicks and two baby ducks. They are soooo cute. Thanks for the video.

i wish baby chickens can keep their form when they are growing up. imagine an adult-sized chicken with features of baby chicken: yellow tuff, chirping sound, and all the cuteness!

I’m getting chicks this week and I’m very excited! So I wanted to watch this to get started before they arrive.

Thank you so much!! It was so helpful my husband and I are so excited to start this new adventure.

just found your channel and thank you for your awesome videos it helps me on my farm. I just started my farm few days ago. I was wondering why 30% of my chicks died. Thank you for the tips 🤠

Thanks for the tips! We just got our first little chicks (4) Thursday. And their feathers are coming in already! Trial and error sure is key with the heating. We have a super hillbilly set up with our heat lamp ha! But they seems pretty happy. I think our “problem” is when to know when they are ready to go outside. We got them at tractor supply and I’m not sure how old they are. They are isa brown chickens. How do you know?! Thanks again for the tips!

I’m super new to this whole Chicky 🐤 thing but this video was so great to watch! Thank you for making it seem a lot easier than I thought ❤️💚 much chicken love I can’t wait

I have six baby chickens and there so cute! And this video is very helpful

Thumbs up on the heat plate. no more firehazards. I like to have the back of my plate lower then the front. The birds can run under the plate easier that way and then move back to where they are comfortable.

Sooo cute 🐥 are you going to vlog their growth? I love to see how much they grow & learn a little more about their feathering etc

Thank you so much this was very helpful! 😄 Can't wait till my baby chicks arrive!

We should be getting our baby chickies in the mail soon. Your videos are so helpful!

This is so helpful! Also another tips for people who are thinking of raising chicks, i recommend dipping their beak gently in the water so they know here, and what it is.

Thank you so much for making this!

Thank you for this, i just got little baby chicks and they are SUUUUPER cute! Also there are 2 black ones and thats it, we might get more this spring. Also we could make a farm if my mom and dad buy some land in the fields from another person. I Love my chicks

We held chicks in FFA at my high school. Too cute. 🥰

I looove this animals. The are profitable in every way. You can grow them and eat them You can make a business out of them. You can make the sawdust with their poop for compost. You can have eegs. You can also clear out some land with them from weeds. They are noble, beautiful, don't meed to much space and get very happy when their owner treat them well. This animals are God blessing to humanity

Brilliant and generous presentation. You've got a warm brooder and a warm heart. Thank you!

I really want to get these little ones hopefully next spring thank you for all the helpful information.happy 🐣🐥

I’m 9 almost 10 and I have one duck and have 14 chicks 🐥🐥🐥 and this vid is helpful keep up the good work

I love how he touched the feed every tine he said something about the feed. Sometimes he didn’t say anything and he touched the feed 😂 Nice vidoe thiugh

Thank you for sharing your tips and advice! Very helpful!

Way you handle and way you respect signify that you are real gentle famer. Regards from Bhutan

Chickens are so cute especially baby ones! I have two7 months old chickens and I love them:)

Thanks for taking the time and sharing. Great info and tips. I'll be following along from Australia.

You should try alfalfa as bedding....it encourages foraging and keeps the little buggers busy.
