I absolutely love how and what you feed your chickens! They are not only healthy but engaging in their best lives. Great job!

Your chickens are living their best life! It would be the envy of every factory farmed chicken.

Dehydrated egg shells then powder to add to the chicken food is wonderful for them

Hej so you try to use the "Fodder System" but you give it to fast to the chickens. If you use good you can have fodder for your cows to.

We found that oregano in their water helps with cleaner eggs

I used to have an aviary with finches, I grew wheatgrass for them. Those little birds could demolish a tray of wheatgrass in a couple of days. When we had chickens they enjoyed it too. As you say the quality of the eggs are well worth the effort of growing the greens for them.

That's a beautiful chicken coop. I need to catch up on your last several videos and watch the build.. We got a accidental rooster in our last chick order. I planned to cull him but last week it saved one of the hens from an attacking bald eagle so I will keep him around. I think its great that youre growing your own chicken fodder. I need to do that.

I agree on a one stop shop on egg layers, hard to keep the defenses up and keep the predators out. I've grown fodder before and it works. I grew mine with eight trays in one rack with holes drilled in one end alternating ramps. Water the top and it ran through all seven trays into the catch in the bottom and keep recycling the water full of nutrients adding new water daily. Fed an entire summer. My girls loved it.

My chickens are pasture raised I do supplement with with chicken feed, scraps when I can, an eggs yolks are orange, if I make homemade mayo it's yellow orange , I don't buy the meal worms anymore too expensive, we have orange trees , apples, berries, fruit trees, figs, basically they love all the fruits, vegetables,

We have that nesting box, and my chicken would not lay in it. I had to put straw or something in it as they did not like that pad. After a few weeks I was able to put the paid back without the straw only one chicken will not lay in the box she like to scratch around before she lay. (no, the eggs will not roll with the straw/hay in the box)

The educational and informative videos about your animals and the nutrition concepts you incorporated are awesome! It's a different style you taking us with you, explaining the things you do and why you do them! I like it-- as so many people don't understand agricultural concepts and why farmers do what they do. And the most intriguing part is every farmer does it a little different! The more raw, day in the life explanatory videos are cool! I would love to see more kitchen videos using your ingredients and casual talks around the farm of all your systems you implement (seems very similar to Joe Salatin!!) and just the peaceful vibe your farm brings! You guys are really inspiring and your energy is contagious! I want to go outside and start moving dirt around after this video lol Thank you for all that you do to create this really cool farm content! Your videos are also starting to kinda remind me of the casual talks by Jess on her channel @ Roots and Refuge. Real chill, but entertaining. Love it! :)

thanks for the great tips, I recently got chickens, so will try putting oats in water and sprouting the oats, like you did., and feed them some scraps, they are quite young still 12 weeks. Do you think I can start with food scraps and the oats then?, so they are not too young for it yet?

I enjoyed this chicken video! I’ve got plans to grow fodder for chickens when we get them. It seems like a great way to offer them fresh greens because the predator pressure we have, we won’t allow them to free range outside of a protected environment unless we are also outside. I may create a tunnel for them to move in even when we’re outside. We have several pairs of eagles that are in the area. One got a hold of a duck and sat in our neighbors tree and ate all of it. The only thing left was the head. It was both fascinating and hard. I know it’s nature but I would be devastated if one got a hold of my chickens. We also have other predators as well to be mindful of. With only an acre we don’t have a large area to work with but we’re figuring it out. Your property is bursting with color. Is the acreage good for crops like growing your own hay or grains on a large scale? Thanks for sharing with all of us.

For what I've read Idaho pasture pigs are easy on pasture and don't root. Agree or disagree?

Growing fodder is easy but time consuming, unnecessary. Tried fermented feed but they quit eating it after awhile. My birds have grass, mixed birdseed, scraps, compost pile and garden goodies, sometimes extra cooked eggs, . Work smart, not harder. If you have to buy extra grains for chickens you’re spending more unless you grow them yourself. Just my two cents. Well 5 cents due to inflation 😊
