Just started with chicks and I did learn about this as "pasty butt" problem with chicks from another content creator. When checking for and finding a clogged vent, I found a few and it could have been very easy to miss. They suggested using warm, not hot, running water to soften it and gently wipe it away with a soft paper towel. I think they recommended avoiding doing anything that would pull out any feathers as it may lead to irritation and excess pecking from other chicks. I thought they would freak out more, but they were actually very calm about it. That method worked perfectly for me and may have saved 2-3 chicks that looked clogged up pretty bad. Thanks for alternative suggestions.

Granny simply used a big cardboard box (about 1 1/2 or 2 ft depth), without litter, & used a regular house table lamp sitting on a table next to the box, day & night. All this was in her bedroom beside her bed. The height of the table with the lamp was the same as or lower than the box so the lamp light shown over the edge of the box. She replaced the box when it became too soiled. She fed them crumbled cornbread (Yes, before it was GMO'd). She watered them from a cup, changed frequently. She loved baby chicks, & would love on em & talk so sweetly to them, & at least one out of each batch became a pet. She handled them daily to tame them, but most of the chicks seemed to "forget"they were tame after out of the box & into the yard...(only that "special" one who didn't forget made it to the pet catagory) I don't think Granny knew about the ACV & garlic in their water. She did lose quite a few to diarrhea. Thanks for this great video. I can hear the kindness in your voice your chicks thrive under!

Before building a coup, think about how to keep all sizes of preditors out of reach of the chickens unless you do not mind starting over to replace them frequently. Predators of all sizes which will travel from a mile or more from any direction (especially in spring) when they have their own offspring to feed. Includes dogs, many kinds of birds from the air, raccoon, weasel, opossum, mink, coyotes, etc. Add to that any rodents, rats & mice, attracted by the food that the chickens scatter about and don't eat. These will make their nests in the coup and in ground tunnels beneath. Consider wrapping the coup completely with 1/4 inch galvanized mesh then again in a heavier 1 inch wire mesh that Predators cannot chew or rip apart. It amazing how persistent and strong they can be. Bury the wire in the soil below the coup and the run or the critters will tunnel to get to a easy meal. Then cover the run to prevent air attacks and deter climbers. If they want to get the chickens they will. Dogs: If you let your chickens out to free range, you will lose some to dogs and any of the above critters that constantly watch for opportunity. No doubt. A rooster is necessary to help alert the flock to dangers but that won't stops kills. Roosters are best for flying predators. Best wishes.

So much good information, loved watching this. Thanks! Heat management is amazing on chickens. We find that they make it known when they want heat, and over time you decrease heating. They feather out and strengthen up faster when they face a more realistic (not heat all the time) cycle. My other issue with the lamps are, the light... they do well with dark nights which help with progressing to the real world out there.

Hey there, thanks for all the good information you share. There are a couple of things I can offer that might help you. For your chicks, hens, pigs, lambs etc consider using their version of a nipple water. There are two types around now for chickens. The standard nipples that you normally put on the bottom of your water source and a newer type that can go on the side of say a pail. I like the latter a lot more because I didn't have to deal with hanging heavy buckets. Just install the lateral ones on the bottom side of a bucket and you're done. The chicks know how to use them naturally and they can't soil their water which keeps things considerably cleaner and healthier. Hog nipples are also great and lambs will use them as well. Again its reduced effort for you but more importantly clean water which is priority #1, health. If you connect chicken nipples to a water line then you will need a pressure reducer and if you are putting hog nipples on like a 55 gallon bucket you need to open up a pressure limiter that's inside them. They are designed for standard water pressure. The other thing is that if you manage your hens waste with a true deep litter system bring a bunch of the litter to your brooder. Full deep litter has anti-coccodosis properties and a ton of other health benefits for chickens. Anytime a hen hatches eggs outside of our coop they bring the chicks to the coop on day 2, go crazy ripping it apart singing to the chicks the whole time getting them to eat what looks to be to be dirt but to the hen it's something special. The hens rarely then spend much if any time in the coop after that, they are out foraging, and we've seen this repeated everytime of 7 years having chickens. Oh and if you are not adding real grit to the chicks food, I give them sand from the beach, you should. It again falls into the health catagory. I don't do anything other than the above and I have never lost a single chick to sickness, never seen poopy but in chicks either.

If they can’t do anything about our neighbor who built his fence 3 feet into our property line, they can’t do anything about our chickens. We will just make sure NOT to get a rooster- that will cause problems.

My concern, as we see the world devolving, is what to do if there is no chicken feed available at the store? I’d really like you to address that in another video. Additionally, I see in your show notes that you recommend “kelp meal for animals.“ I’m going to show my ignorance here. I just bought kelp meal to add a little into my potting soil. Are you saying that kelp meal for animals is something different? God bless!

Very good question Cathy. I'd like to also see this from different POV's. We are often out of luck on buying feed, and one must remember they can be the composters. All kitchen scraps, cut offs, throw away seeds, cropping for them (chillies, greens, etc). Fishmeals (or fish), calcium for the egg forming etc, so their own eggshells milled, back to them. There's a lot that can be done to keep them going, and then of course free ranging (although I like to limit this to areas, to prevent them levelling everything you love :D ) - Here, they find scorpions, baby mice, seeds, foliage and more.

Soy phytoestrogens are way overblown as a problem. For one thing studies looking at estrogen levels in chickens show that chickens that freerange on clover have the highest levels. For another thing phytoestrogens are only a tiny percentage of the estrogens the birds have. Finally, your birds need estrogen to produce eggs, when we bred chickens to produce 330 eggs per year instead of 15 a big part of that was breeding them to have higher levels of estrogen both with higher peaks and longer durations. As to Omega 6's I think shifting the balance by adding Omega 3's is probably going to be more fruitful than limiting Omega 6 since they preferentially move omega 3 to their eggs. The long term cardiovascular health of the bird is probably not a concern for anyone focused on eggs rather than pets since they are only productive for ~5 years at the most out of a natural 12-15 year lifespan.

This all sounds expensive, especially with the cost of feed continuing to increase and also becoming scarce this year for lack of fertilizer. Is it really worth it for some eggs?

the best eggs you will ever eat, the eggs in the grocery store are at least 2 months old when you buy them.

Anything you can produce at your own home is worth it! Grocery store shelves might get scarce also! If it came down to it you could just let your chickens forage for food or grow enough in your garden this year for them.

Can you buy a rooster and 2 chickens and let them breed- and can you use the same birds for letters and meat?

What's wrong with starting baby chicks on medicated feed? Many recommend it is necessary to keep your birds healthy. Thanks for the video

I've never used it and my birds all live because of my practices focusing on strengthening the immune system and max nutrition. Antibiotics destroy immune systems. Humans shouldn't be taking them either unless you're going to die. Create a healthy biome and let the body heal itself.

Rabbit water bottles for brooders trust me. A friend showed me now I cant stop spreading the word. Constant clean water they can not mess up or get shavings in and they use it. Ill never go back to those horrible poultry waterers.

Great video. But the title should be how to raise baby chicks artificially. Hopefully your barred rocks get you raising chicks naturally. I'm waiting for the knf video excitedly.

No point in raising them more lovingly when you are just going to murder them. My chicks will never see a chopping block. THey provide me amazing compost and i provide them love and amazing life. No righteous justification for unloving acts in the Creators eyes. Animal are our reflective companions and not here to be used and abused because of our addiction to taste. That is not Love, no matter how you try and switch it around.

I'm confused...are you talking about the God of the Bible? Mankind were told to eat animals in the old testament and this remained unchanged in the New Testament. I understand the sentiment but your reasoning isn't accurate.
