Where I live we have and burn pine. It's ok as long as it's seasoned. I get what I can. If it's wood it burns.
@SevenSparrowsFarm Күн бұрын
I’ve had some great feedback from people that only have pine available and burn that. Thanks for sharing!

What do you do during cold weather?
@SevenSparrowsFarm 4 күн бұрын
We are in North Georgia so it usually doesn’t get into single digits. Chickens are very hearty animals and are usually fine as long as there’s no cold breeze blowing on them. We do have a video showing what we did for a few days when the temperature drops down to single digits.

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 9 күн 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.

Air flow is what drys the wood not the sun. Good consistent air flow
@SevenSparrowsFarm 17 күн бұрын
Both are helpful. But I agree that air flow is very important. I heard it stated once that you want a space in between your wood small enough for a mouse to run through, but not the cat chasing him. 😆

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 22 күн 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. I’ve had some great comments from folks around the world talking about the different types of wood they burn and how that varies. Thanks again for sharing!
@ontheotherhand7627 22 күн бұрын
@@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. This link to the different btu's of locally-sourced wood demonstrates that birch is at the top of the pyramid here: forestry.alaska.gov/Assets/pdfs/wood/08BTUFirewoodHandout.pdf Burning oak to stay warm means someone's chopping up grandma's chifforobe. 😆

We only name our roosters at the moment. The reasoning is that once you name a chicken they become your pet. If something happens to that girl (hawk, fox, etc) it makes it harder to lose her. So we enjoy them, but stay away from naming them. Hope that helps!

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.
