Jason I think the reason your Chickens do so well is because you and Angela Kay consider them and treat them like they are your babies!!!! I know that you 2 both love and care very much for your babies!!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!!!

I am considering getting chickens and would absolutely love to see the routine you follow to take care of your babies! My neighbors had chickens and they were so much fun and had great personalities. I totally understand the attachment!

This was a very important video thank you for sharing!

Get yourself a White Leghorn rooster, raise him until reproduction age, then get all your hens to lay fertile eggs by the White Leghorn rooster, and hatch those chicks. Then get rid of the rooster if you can't keep him for whatever reason. Then once those chicks mature, I assure you that the hens will be the best layers you have ever dreamed of. Any roosters you get from the chicks, you can sell or put in the freezer, but they will be small in size.

Aaaahhhh...now I want chickens! Great video with fantastic information! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

just like a human good food happy life is a long healthy life.

Thx for sharing enjoyed it Keep growing Be safe God Bless

#1 on the charts & in our hearts...Sweetness! 😊 The girls look wonderful. I was fascinated by the info. I didn't realize they could lay gelatinous eggs.

I think the key to the longevity of the egg laying is because you named your chickens...LOL

😅😅 i totally understand you, i don't have them right now . But when i did the girl's were well fed i tell ya , i never really trusted the chicken feed that much other the whole corn . So anything was left from kitchen expected meat they got it . Leftover rice greens etc. I also raise for meat chicken which those i needed to put my heart to rest and i am thankful for they survise . But yeah, a chicken can lay eggs up to 6 year's with good care ! And you thought you were a chicken nurde !!😅😅😅👏🏻👏🏻 One here toooo .

Spring 2021 a coon killed my entire flock, except for 1 hen and 1 roo. I bought an incubator and started hatching out their offspring. I also got eggs from a friend and hatched those. Anyway, that hen laid an egg every day all of 2021 and into 2022. Literally got an egg everyday all winter long. The new hens didn't start laying until spring 2022.

I had an 11 year old hen (who has since passd) she layed every day she would only lay about 6-7 eggs and her cycle would be over and 3-4 days later start laying again. It’s all about how healthy you keep them their whole life not just as babies. Feed is very very important. Even free ranging. Just corn and oats and milo and millet and laying pellets/crumble will shorten their life span.

Chicken nerd? Lol. I love seeing your chickens! We don't have all of ours named but a good part of them are! They all have different personalities and are so much fun!

We have a Maggie too! Named after my grandmother! Margaret Elizabeth! She’s our Easter egger!

I have chickens that are everywhere from five years old to just under a year old right now. It's nice to have chickens of all different ages. I know they slow down as I get older, but that's OK. Because then I get new ones along the way and that makes up for it.

its not weird, I also care for my hens and Roosters I dont "get rid of them, or murder them. thanks for this info I' have been thinking same thing

always organic layer pellets . free run around outside and in woods pick them up and pat them. they will come to you, keep them until they die .just like any loved freind. treats; they love cabbage organic and chedder. dont like carrots. they love to fly and run, they are in their house at night roost 1x6'' board, comfy.. that s me just like you.

At 2.5 years almost all stopped laying. I was not prepared for this. Working on full replacement flock. Now I get why some people replace every 2 years. Been struggling to meet my sales. Had to cut family off. It won't happen again.

Always name your chickens

I think they need more calcium protein and grit

One question, how do you know what chicken laid what egg? I have 8 pullets and I want to keep track like you do

How can you possibly tell which chicken has laid an egg? We got three 17 week old hens 3 weeks ago and we've just had our first egg which is very exciting. We're not even certain if our chickens are all hens but now we know that at least one is. Our chicks are White Stars. Of course, we've named them.

This is something I've worried about since we are really limited to the number of chickens we're "allowed" to have here. Chicken math is going to get me anyway lol. There are no penalties in the town ordinances 🤷‍♀️

I would love to see how you take care of the chickens. Do they have separate places to lay their eggs? Do they ever lay in the yard?

Great info... but how do you keep track of what chicken is laying which eggs? Different color eggs I get, but other than that how do you keep track?

Who produces New Country Organics? I'll be looking for it. My feed store only sells Poulin Grains. Which part of the country are u in?

Cool video. We named our hens also lol. They haven’t payed eggs for nearly a year now . I got them in 2020 and they were laying 14 eggs a week together. Now they look like they want to lay eggs but nothing happens. Back in December to our surprise we got one egg but. Toning since. Any suggestions on what I can do?

One of my 3 young 21 week old White Star hens seems to have stopped laying altogether. She is bottom of the peck order and had visible peck marks at the base of her tail. She has laid once because although Im not sure which hen lays which egg, we found 3 eggs one day, one a bit smaller than the others but since then weve got 2 eggs a day, which is fine for us. Weve seen the other two lining up to use the nesting box but poor Bella was hanging around outside the coop. I think the worst of the bullying has stopped and Bella's tail is healing but she hangs back when we feed the chicks & wont take food from my hand uf the other 2 are interested. Is there any chance she will lay again?

I read that well-fed backyard hens can lay up to 250 eggs per year. Is that a lie too?
