It took me about four years to talk Hubs into letting me get our first hens as day old chicks. He has always been a city boy and is (at the least) uncomfortable around anything but dogs and cats. Once the girls were about three months old he was hooked. He was the one who first named a bird. In the years since then he has relentlessly spoiled every chicken we've had. Every time I retire our old flock and start with new chicks, at least one of the new girls must look like his first favorite (a solid white leghorn hybrid he named April) and assume the same name. He's still not big on holding them, but he feeds special treats daily and talks to them in his sweetest tones. (Yes, I mean he talks "baby talk" to them.) He has spent a solid amount of money and expended a great deal of effort (even literal sweat and blood) to make sure these birds live in healthy and comfortable surroundings, protected from all predators. He was very conscientious about training our dogs to protect and not hassle the girls. He helps me care for them when asked, and is always alerting me if one "doesn't look right". I honestly think he'd object if one day I said "I'm tired of the chickens. Let's get rid of them." Today was the biennial "Big Girls' Coop" clean-out, since we also use the deep litter method. He hauled seven barrows of litter and poop to the compost pile, helped me dig out the areas that got wet during our torrential downpour last night. He washed feeders and waterers, scraped roosts, and helped me scrub and hose it all out. Once I had finished spraying out the building with Oxine and it was dry again, he hauled four big bales of shavings for me to spread out, and helped me reposition the nest boxes. Between tasks he was treating the girls and making sure they were comfortable in their temporary enclosure. Just be forewarned: Chickens are considered the gateway drug of livestock. They also spread a disorder that is called "chicken math". You might not think a chicken would be smart enough to steal your heart, but they not only can do so, they can break it too. Chickens are smart enough to have invented their own sport called "chicken football", which is often played with a dead (or nearly dead) mouse/large bug/lizard/huge worm. Frankly, I don't remember how to garden without chickens, so they might also cause a form of amnesia.

We got our egg dispensers earlier this year and found out they are more entertaining than most other animals!

OMG You are so right about them being entertaining! We got our chickens in May and within two months we set a couple of lawn chairs in front of the coop. They’re hilarious 😂. They come running at us like a herd of mini dinosaurs and follow us around the property. They love my husbands shop so he’s always shoo-ing them out. They’re def fun to watch. 😊

[@jesusisalive3227]

Have you tried to "paralyze" your chickens yet? It's hilarious! You lay your chicken on its side, take a piece of chalk and draw a line on the concrete in front of it then let the chicken go. 9 out of 10 times they stay laying down until you nudge them.

[@broodieivie207]

As a new bride my sister gave me some hens. I was self teaching several versions soup. One day I had a huge pot of black beans going and I was c rummaging around in the cupboard and came across baby oysters. Yep I added then my black beans (barf) ok not a good idea. I haulled that junk out the the chickens. It was a cold grey day (a hoar frost day) the chicken went nuts. Singing happy songs that hens tend to do. Happy hens that day and I never put baby oysters in soup again....

I lime my eggs and they are great! I raise honey bees and use raw honey for burns as well. I also buy whole grains with black oil sunflower seed and soak the feed and it last a lot longer. I raise my dog with baby chicks. I tell her they are puppies and she now protects them. Love you channel. Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!

[@dmo7815]

Free range the girls,, never have to rake leaves again. The girls will scratch thru the leaves all winter. When they poop on the deck just ignore it for a few days till it sets up then give it a kick with your boot. My daughters and I would visit the neighbor farmers and leave a dozen eggs. During harvest the farmers would leave me seed bags with corn and gravel for the chickens . Chickens can digest whole kernel corn but soaking with water makes corn go farther. To protect the girls run a hot wire 6 inches up around the coup ( highly recommend) it won’t hurt the chickens if they do get shocked.

[@margaretmartinez1398]

Does preserving the eggs in lime effect the chicken eggs,,and for how long can you have them in lime

[@SingPrayPaint]

Like how you described getting your dogs to be respect the chickens. We got our two GS dogs almost a year after we started raising chickens. The dogs were about 7 months old. The female made it her intense focus to lunge at the chicken enclosure while I was hustling to reinforce it, because I was afraid the dogs would eat them. Ah..nah! I woke up one day to find my rooster & one of the hens had somehow escaped the enclosure and availed themselves to our back patio (where I kept the feed). The dogs calmly reclined in the sun, occasionally opening an eyeball to see what was clucking nearby. Amazing! So I experimented, allowing the male dog (who didn't seem interested in the hens) into the yard where I'd built the enclosure. He simply ran around sniffing and frantically digging when he seemed to find something really interesting. The female paced back and forth, outside the chicken yard, whimpering. So I let her in to see what she'd do. The are quick to obey when we tell them "NO!," so I was a little less fearful at this poiint. Sure enough...what they wanted was the MICE! Dozens of mice running out of the enclosure as the dogs dug & chased. I was floored! Funny thing too: The rooster saw what was happening and rushed back into the yard to catch some. It was at that point that the hens finally realized that they could actually EAT mice. They hadn't bothered before & I was frustrated trying to keep them out so they wouldn't pollute the feed. Thank you dogs! When we decided to tear down the small coop to build a big one I upended a nest of mice inside the coop & the adults scattered over my feet while the babies were too small to run. The chickens went wild! I scooped up the baby mice & dropped some inside the enclosure for the hens to feast on. Nice! Now for the squirrels! They're a little more evasive!

The sooner you get cold water or anything that can quickly cool your burn area the less damage you get.

Candle the eggs before putting in solution, make sure no cracks. Float testing is an indicator of the size of the air cell, which will also be larger if the egg is bad and producing gas. But an egg can be good and float if it has been stored in low humidity and the air cell is larger. They are great candidates for hardboiling because they will peel easier. You can candle them before using, but always rinse the lime solution off before cracking, and always crack into a small separate bowl to examine before adding to pan or recipe. Eggs stored in solution will absorb a little water before sealing, so the whites don’t stand up pretty for fried eggs, and you might want to adjust any liquid in a recipe down a tsp or so. Great video! Love the sound effects and editing!

We opted for ducks. Loved the info on how to test eggs, as we free range our ducks and some really like to hide their egg laying all over the acreage....but eventually we find the nests from watching over days. But love having fresh free range (orange yolk-not pale yellow) very tasty eggs...worth the feed and time. And its pretty neat seeing ducks dig around and explore the acreage and small pond we dug for them. Gives you a sense of normalcy in a world of chaos. You can also have them lay consistently year round if you manage the day light hrs they get by adding an auxillary timed led light to get to the 14hr daylight during winter.

[@HAXMAN]

[@laaaliiiluuu]

Isn't yellow actually a sign of a healthy egg? At least all organic eggs I ever bought do have yellow yolk while all the factory farmed eggs have orange yolks. In German egg yolk even literally translates to "egg yellow" (Eigelb).

[@TheMikeSpike]

Actually it depends on what they are fed. Here in Canada, the non-free run grocery store eggs are very pale yellow and almost tasteless.and they are fed soy which is not great for egg quality The more greens (true free run) they get to browse on the more the eggs become intense yellow to almost orange.

[@laaaliiiluuu]

She had listened to the prophet and stored up grain (food), oil (fats), and water. The food she ran out of, the oil she ran out of but the water, there was no miracle for the water. She had enough water stored to last the 3 years. 1 Kings 17:7-16 ... Joseph stored up a vast amount of grain. Those that did not have enough had to go to Egypt (The world). Ref: Genesis 47:15-20 Joseph in the famine purchased the people's money, possessions, lands, and ultimately then the people themselves. "47:23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land." (Everyone in the land became a slave to Pharaoh!) ... Starve or take the mark, number or name of ownership. It is going to get really hot and dry. Rev 16:9. There will be power shortages Rev 7:1. ...

Around 100 years ago they used to preserve eggs and somebody figured out the preservative would be great in the middle of car windshields for safety glass

0:36 so good 😂, greetings from germany! Love your video making skills

[@HAXMAN]

Danke! 😉

[@DJDAVEKHEN]

I use fresh straw, sawdust and some cedar chips to the chicken areas and beds. No bad smell. Great channel, will be tuning in.

[@sheaholloway9537]

Excellent videos. Highly informative and humorous. You should be a teacher. Our youth would actually pay attention and learn to be more self-sufficient with you at the white-board.

[@anj000]

Bobby Duke is really strong in this video. You even look like his brother.

[@RennLaRoux]

I just found your channel and I love your content. I love your personality and how you present everything, love your humor. I love how you involve your family in everything. Ty for mentioning the deep bedding method, I first learned about that on Rhodes and Salatin channel. Have you ever considered raising meat birds so you can have your own meat? What about rabbits? I'm curious to see if you could make raised bed like the cedar plank ones, but specifically for cultivating mushrooms. Thanks for all you do ☺️

Love the humour incorporated into educational video on sticking it to The Man.

We got our chicks in August. Looking forward to our chicks maturing into egg dispensers!

[@HAXMAN]

Awesome!

Chicken ABSOLUTELY came before the egg. Glad to know that you're one of the people who understands truths that have been rejected by modern thoughts. Thank you for the useful video!

[@mikemoran8351]

Hilarious and well done! Thanks for the entertaining and useful video. We’ve been keeping chickens for years but i still learned something!

An American who's actually funny! I like this guy. Great info.

[@jimthompson9992]

Really great information!! Young man, you're doing your family right!! I'm guessing that where I am the neighbors, among others, might frown on chickens and it's probably guaranteed that a rooster would be VERBOTEN!! I will be checking into farm eggs though as there's some farming not too far away.... although the cost of gas might make that problematic. But great video!! Well done!!👍👍 Take care, be safe and God bless!

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks so much Jim!

[@flatout5815]

Just don't get a rooster and use woodchips as Hax said, then no noise or smell, if no noise or smell the neighbors can't complain. Plus seems if you told your neighbors first and offered them eggs they might be down for that. A few chickens can supply a small family no problem if good layers, you'd have alot of extra eggs to share with your neighbors to keep them happy.

[@chrislaxson9988]

Excellent advise. Needed this channel at 3:30 in the morning. Great channel!

[@JustMe-ju3je]

I’m hoping to add chickens in the spring and am now in the planning stages. I was very excited to find this! I live in town on only 1/3 acre so I need to make sure that I understand fully what I’m getting into. Thank you!

[@HAXMAN]

Good luck!

[@JustMe-ju3je]

@Johnny Bravo I hope so. My lot is odd shaped… like an L with the house located at the 90 deg. along an alley. This will require my placing the coop in what appears to be a front yard facing a street no matter where I put it! I will need to make it as private and lovely as possible for my neighbors to be accepting. Good times but still a fun challenge!

[@Chelseacoastmaine]

@@JustMe-ju3je give your neighbors fresh eggs sometimes and they’ll never complain 😊

[@JustMe-ju3je]

@@Chelseacoastmaine That’s my plan! I ordered chicks for spring so it will be a while until I see any eggs…but I cannot wait for the chicks arrival!

Use crushed red pepper in yours hens food to help them produce more eggs , was told this by an old man once when my hens went thru a non-laying phase

We used to raise chickens but eggs WERE cheap and the raccoons got a liking for chickens. We are getting chickens again so we don't have to pay $8 for a dozen Biden eggs.

[@HDMusicNFTs]

that "Hey" to shush the chicken with the close up just won my sub. haha so good

Check Living traditions homestead, They just switched their meat chickens and laying chickens over to a chicken called American Bresse. They are dual-purpose birds. What is really cool are they are white, have red combs, and have blue legs.

[@carlacrawford-graham]

You are sooo stinkin’ funny!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely LOVE watching your videos 👍🏼😁

[@thomasbuzzi3234]

Haxman, you are a riot. Have raised chickens. It is fun!!!

[@MooseOnTheLoose99]

We have a chicken named Captain Pickles Sparkle-fingers, or Pickles for short. Barred rock, very sweet. She has our first surviving chick who turned out to be an awesome barred rock rooster!

[@oldchickenlady]

I have a Dorking hen that is 8 years old and she is still an amazing layer!! I wish they were more popular. She hatches and raises at least one clutch a year. My hen came from a place called Sand Hill Preservation. I HIGHLY recommend Dorkings!

Eggs are about $3.50 /dozen in the St.Louis, Mo. area 2nd week Dec.2022.

Love this video.. very informative.. Thank you. another way to stop the heat quickly when you get a burn is "Tomato" I got burnt when I was at work and my boss told me to put a tomato slice on it quickly and it worked. Best remady,still use it today..

you can also dehydrate them in a food dehydrator.

[@sincerdagain6060]

As a former Paramedic i have taken classes on burns. The teacher was from the Hummana burn center in Augusta Georgia. She said to use mayonnaise. Which is egg whites and vinegar. Just saying using egg whites makes a whole lot of sense to me.

[@kynchan3332]

You can even make the calcium hydroxide from eggs shells if you have enough heat but it is a little dangerous when reacting calcium oxide with water.

[@maletu]

The float test, I believe, is a "surrogate" test. That is, it tests for something that usually goes along with the thing you are interested in. The float test tells you if an egg has lost a lot of water and has an air bubble. Floating usually goes with age; spoilage usually goes with age. But--always?

[@texsis2112]

Love watching you & the Mrs. I not only learn things I get a good laugh. I have used egg shell for my plants & slightly crushed at bottom of garden plants helps keep slugs & such away or in the water of plants helps them grow. Bake at 150 for 10 mins to kill bacteria. some say to remove membrane yet that's were most the nutrients are, so I don't. Can also be used in your composed or consumed by humans (finely ground) for calcium intake.

[@chalisblur]

We use coconuts oil to preserve eggs up to 7mths..

[@rick43pen]

Tried the slacked lime method myself. The hardest part was finding unwashed eggs in the city. Kept them for a year and they were still good, although a slight chem taste. The only major down side of this method is the yolks break when cracked.

[@lagoya]

My grandma had some old eggs in the fridge. I was really hungry. When I cracked them open, there was more air than egg but the yolks stayed intact. I ate them and survived to tell the tale
