Just getting into HAM and this is the video I couldn’t find anywhere. Thanks so much!

Do you use a solar lighting system?

Thanks from Chicago

So you feed them table scraps?

Great video. I do the same. My girls are eating giant zucchinis while I type😅

i believe hoovers will not have isa browns this year , if so , what are you going to replace them with ?

I used to call these "zebra chickens".

Very nice coop and run. Did you ever say how you fastened the bottom plates to the stones?

Chickens have vision that has slower motion than ours, so they have a quicker reaction time! It really helps them out in situations like this.

Great video, very nice shack and antenna farm. 73, de KD8BET.

Curious about your experience with how these birds age. Mine are 2.5 yr. Im tomd they stop laying at 3.0

I have 30 hens and 12 are Golden Comets. They are just getting ready to lay.

Like 91, Awesome footage capturing the beautiful alluring farm that entice some of the viewers to keep on watching, thanks for sharing and bringing us here and stay safe always.

Thank you for the great info. I wanted to ask where do you get your birds from? Is it a local purchase or online purchase?

Epsom salt should knock out most of this splitting. Drop some in the hole with seed potato and fertilizer. Once seed potatoes are covered, sprinkle more epsom salt overtop the soil so the rain can dissolve that and it will work it’s way down through new potatoes.

I don't believe any person who was provided a product for free to review. I received this as a gift from a family member (I'm a hockey mom so I'm at the ice rink all the time) this product is AWFUL!! I wouldn't even describe it as "Luke warm" great concept but this brand is junk.

Great vid! Question: what is the benefit of a diapole over the car whip antenna setup? I live in the uk. Most of us are lucky to have a 15ft garden. Was thinking of just throwing up a whip instead.

We had a hen that would kill and eat rattlesnake. Hello from Texas 🤠

I was looking for ideas for designing a chicken house and I liked your work, it is really very beautiful. Thank you very much.

Thanks so much for your great video!

One of the local grocery stores allows me to bring in empty buckets and they'll fill them with prepped produce waste (think watermelon, strawberries, broccoli, etc that you can buy on trays) and unsellable produce (bruised, browned, or bagged greens past their best by date). I do this year round, but it's especially nice in the winter months for the chickens to get a variety of food.

Very nice work 👍😊

We have zero wasted food here.....If it's something the dogs don't care for, the chickens will clean it up....I hate seeing food go to waste... must be from being raised by a old Swede 😂😂😂... Merry Christmas to you guys.

Good demo. But unless you have just the occasional mouse in a house, any kind of trap that just catches one mouse before needing servicing is not worth the bother, and they can be messy. "Humane" traps can work well, but unless you 'terminate' them after catching, they just come back (and reproduce meanwhile) or become someone else's problem. If you use a trap like this one, and don't want to release the mice, then you have to take action to kill them, and that might make you feel bad. The only real solution is a trap that catches lots of mice and kills them without you needing to do the job, is the 'rolling log' type over a bucket of water. Dirt cheap, works great, can catch a lot of mice in one period, kills them as painlessly as possible (and cleanly), and is easy to empty and reset for the next period of use. Take a look at the "Mousetrap Monday" channel, where Shawn Woods evaluates every possible type of trap from ancient history through the most modern high-tech ones. It always comes down to a "rolling log" trap over a 5 gallon bucket full of water. Every few days, you take it out back and dump it (you don't even need to look), let the wild creatures have a nice mouse snack, and simply refill the bucket and freshen the bait, and you catch a lot more.

Im new. Love your channel!❤

We specifically grow extra zucchini and let them get really big. Then we store them in the basement for our chickens and other farm critters. Once the zucchini get really big, they will harden off almost like a winter squash. I still have some from this summer in the basement now. I have attempted to grow amaranth for my girls but haven't had much success yet. I'll keep at it though. I grew broom corn one year for them, but they weren't real impressed with it. Our plan for this summer is to grow a lot more winter squash and zucchini for extra critter feed.

Great video! We feed our chickens microgreens and wheat grass through the winter and we will definitely be planting extra squash and pumpkins next year for them.

I think it’s funny that you think it’s human food. All of my garden goes straight to my chickens, because my chickens and the eggs they produce are my food..

I think you’ve got all the practical winter food covered. For fall chicken feed I plant extra cucumbers for my girls. They’ll produce through September here in Arkansas. I also have extra Keifer pear trees which will produce through October and persimmon trees that’ll produce through November. Have you tried comfry?

We wanna see more videos like this. Thanks for sharing with us.

do your barred rocks and black sex links lay the same size brown eggs ? what size eggs do those two lay in the first year and what size during their second year of laying . thanks

❤👍

how do you keep something from killing them at night if you keep the doors always open ?

Merry Christmas!

Hi guys! We gave squash to our pigs, and they "planted" a whole garden of squash for us to feed right back to them! 😂👍😁

Love this video! I hope to have chickens one day. Merry Christmas! Val C ❤️🙏🏻

I have pumpkin, squash, zucchini and cabbage I've saved and am giving the chickens. Plus, through the winter I grow things like Barley and other greens in my basement with growlights that I give them for added nutrients.

East Kansas I can keep Kale, lettuce, spinach, beets, and swiss chard going in to mid to late December. Usually have way more zucchini than we can eat so we shred and freeze and feed when nothing else available. I'll have to start growing more squash.

Love this! We do they exact same thing, we are over in Montevideo area. we have a raised garden and had a bumper year for spaghetti squash.

I can't hardly grow anything like that with my birds out running around everyday. Have to cage off my rhubarb so they don't destroy it. I don't use it myself but do harvest it for them through the summer. Strangely enough there was a grape tomato popped up from seed I had given them and all I ever did for the plant was put a cage on it to support it, It grew a zillion tomatoes on it but the crazy thing was the birds left it alone and wouldn't touch the tomatoes until I picked them and handed them out while stood around me and watched me pick them. hahaha nutty birds gotta love em! Did score three big boxes of pumpkins and winter squash from one of my local grocers where I get their throw out produce. More than enough for them to eat on over winter. Now that I got 60 birds, that's a lotta peckin. lol

Are these plants deadly to vampires

We have a small cold snap these days. Not garden related but I did my rabbit suet/tallow this week and the girls got some of the grits. Other than that, I try to grow bot for rabbits and chickens in the summer : sunflowers, herbs, greens. The cabbage family grow late in the season and still good after snow. They love the bok choi. I also gave them sprouts last year of different seeds : sunflowers, wheat, flax seeds, lentils, clover. All the small seeds you can buy at the grocery store. I'm trying myself with "microgreens" this year. I grew oats and sunflowers so far. Rabbits got the leaves part and chickens the rest. Have to say, my chickens this year are not very bright and they don't know what to do with all that. They will figure it out I suppose. I also collected a bunch of weed and vegetable seeds this fall to do germination for them : bok choi, lambs quarter, different grass and plantain (the small plant). I only have 9 chickens and 7 rabbits for the winter season, not like your big gang tho!

I give my chickens all kinds of treats in winter and summer - i have a few small videos showing just that. Merry Christmas! 🎅

Soaked dried beans Rich and Holly! Leafy greens!

If you've share other garden treats with your hens in the winter, let us know. We'd love to add variety to our girls diet. Thanks!

Looking at getting licensed with some family members. We are all 40-90 miles as the bird flies and are looking for reliable communication between houses. How feasible is this on 2 meter with vertical antennas or should I be looking at other bands? Want to keep prices down and fairly easy to install antennas.

Great content.

Thanks for sharing

Rich....almost reminds me of a Buff Orpington as far as demeanor...only Buff's are not a hybrid. Great Breed. Thanks for the info...Kevin

I have four Rhode Island Red hens. So far they are very productive layers. They've slowed down a bit for the winter but they make wonderful pets also. They are very friendly.
