Needed this. Starting in the spring and discerning between each. Sounds like we're going to try a modified version of the Suscovich for our broilers.

Hi, thanks so much for the demo. Can you reuse the water for new eggs after you use a jar of your saved eggs, or do you need to make the solution again? Thanks
@SevenSparrowsFarm 3 күн бұрын
I always remake the solution. If you don’t, you are using solution with an increased bacterial load that that will bite you eventually.

@SevenSparrowsFarm 7 күн бұрын
That is likely bacteria that you are seeing. There could have been a dirty or cracked egg in there and that caused it. We'd recommend removing the eggs and checking for cracked eggs. Then put them in a new batch of solution.

We use the Chickshaw for our layer/breeder flock. The kickstand in the plans is worthless. We moved the wheels back 2 feet from the centerline so that it can't wheelie, even if all the chickens are in the back. It's a few more pounds to lift when moving, but totally reliable.

What if the chicken poo is already dried on the shell and will not brush off? If the egg has poo on it when it is placed in the solution, will it contaminate the other eggs even though the bloom is there?? I'm really having a hard time finding any answers.

We make it a point to only use eggs that are pooh-free. Remember that you can add eggs over time, so you don't have to add them all at once.

Good idea😀. Out of all 14🐔 chickens in our flock, 1 (more recently) we learned, it turned out to be a rooster roo! 🐓Our entire family, kids,, and all animals, cats , n dogs included would all roam freely in our backyard doing our own things, while getting along nicely w/zero problems.... Until this past week.. Rooster Roo decided to (twice) each to my youngest son(8) and to myself also came what seemed out of the blue / randomly just run up to us and BOOM BAM all obnoxiously Ninja chop KICK us!! (Like ohhh no big deal, and then, just walk off and go about his business. 🙄🤔🤷♀️ I'm still trying to educate and learn about owning one, b/c it wasn't exactly in my plan.
@SevenSparrowsFarm 2 ай бұрын
I hear you. We’ve had some do that before. Once they get to a certain age, it seems like they’ve decided whether they’re gonna be friendly or not. The issue starts to occur once they get spurs. If that happens and they’re still aggressive, they can be dangerous and may need to go into the freezer.

Thanks for the video. I have read that you want to season your wood down to below 20%. Will you still hear a little sizzling and see water since it is seasoned but still contains moisture?
@SevenSparrowsFarm 4 ай бұрын
Honestly, I never used a moisture reader, so I’m not sure of exact percentages. i’ve always been told that if you hear sizzling or see water that the wood is still wet. Dry wood doesn’t sizzle but burns really clean.

People in Alaska would be very happy to burn oak if it was available, but it doesn’t grow here. Nor does pine. I’m assuming you’re thinking of Spruce, which, if properly seasoned, does not cause a lot of creosote buildup, which is what I think you mean when you say gumming up the chimney. Also, people up here don’t usually use chimneys. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a chimney here. Stove pipes. Also, birch is not a hardwood. We are happy to burn it, but it’s not a hardwood. Had to get that off my chest before I watched the rest of your video.😀
@SevenSparrowsFarm 4 ай бұрын
No worries and thanks for your comment! We’re in the south east and from what I’ve heard, the Pine stays much wetter here which is why I’ve heard not to burn it.

@@SevenSparrowsFarm I've had discussions with people in L48 about how lousy birch is, and I'm convinced that we're talking about different species of birch.

I prefer to season my firewood 14.6 years, then kiln dry it for a month just to be sure it is dry. Actually I do 5 or 6 months in the sun covered with tin. Cut wood in the spring before the leaves come on. Wood is ready by winter, does not sizzle. I have a moisture meter. 20 years doing it this way.

Our Bielefelder rooster is very aggressive. I have to carry a broom when I do anything with the hens. He charges at us and is always doing his dance warning us he is not liking us on his turf. Every chance he gets he will charge after us even when we are walking away. The most docile rooster we have owned is the lavender Orpington. Nothing compares to the sweet temper and friendliness of the lavender Orpington. I am disappointed in the Bielefelder.
