Keeping chickens for eggs | Chicken keeping in the UK

[@riatruthseeker9489]

"I'm getting chickens and no one's gonna talk me out of it"... Exactly this 🤣 talked my partner round to the idea yesterday, he spent the afternoon digging the garden up and moving stuff to accommodate a coop and run 😂 can't wait

This is so useful - thank you. Pros and cons summed up so well. A valuable video.

[@helgaharris7799]

You have the right idea these eggs are so delicious and there without any day grow stuff artificial feeding they're beautiful chickens the eggs are worth it a beast I would thank you for posting this video

[@Francisyrah]

Fantastic video :-) Thank you so much. I wasn't able to find your video about costs regarding having chickens.

[@justhereforthe_comments8994]

The noise for me actually is reassuring, I would like to know when they’re startled and if something is trying to get at them, that way I can send my dog out to protect them. I thinking about getting some hatching eggs on eBay and hatching our own chicks. They’re a LOT less expensive that way, and you can get some really beautiful breeds

[@simonpackham5780]

If your comment doesn’t show the validity and benefit of this video, then I really don’t know what does

[@victoriasun6386]

Nice video chickens are noisy but I grew up with a cuckoo clock which was noisy as well so I don’t mind if one of my chickens starts screaming

[@jasonward6723]

i like to use the rescue chickens and make a donation it just feels better giving them a better quality of life, an extended life to free range plus fresh eggs are always a happy bonus

[@parinanderson1275]

Please in your next blog do discuss about the affects on neighbours. Not to place them near neighbours boundaries

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Great video, well done. One point I would add to your five is that every chicken will die. Many will need to be dispatched by their owner. If you can't bring yourself to do this, its worth thinking about what you will do with a suffering bird.

[@TheBungalowBlogger]

+English Country Life This is a very valid point....and one I nearly put in but I wasn't sure if people were ready!! Worth noting though guys....I've had to dispatch one of my hens, I've also had a little pekin die on my and one of my hatchlings at only 3 weeks old....

[@bandit12--]

How exactly are you guys 'dispatching' these chickens?

[@graceebow]

Also, we are thinking about getting 2 hens. Will they be as noisy?

[@arronbwabw504]

Loved the glimpse of your fried eggs ;-D

[@graceebow]

Can you keep chickens on astro-turf? We are moving house and thinking about get astro-turf but we might not fully turf the garden.

[@kokotxa]

"I can honestly say its cheaper to buy fresh eggs"... *laughs in 2023

[@madamblaze]

Thank you ❤

[@tristanmorana8062]

I’m sure a few fresh eggs would keep the neighbours happy

[@pedro97w]

Any Brits out there know what breed of chicken lays those speckled eggs you see in UK markets?

[@SwahiliSpicE]

Hey, great video! Do you have advice on how to protect your chickens from foxes. We have a couple of foxes that love lounging in our garden.

[@wadeymcr445]

Nothing beats a good old German Shepard raised around chickens ..goodbye Fox's

[@olliecampbell7654]

Build a protective run and a protective coop with strong materials and then the fox shouldn’t get in :)

[@ImranAli-mh6tj]

chicken is nature i love its noise is beter than dogs.stress releafer😍

[@leswaydick7250]

Great video, well explained and made me think,,,, and I'll forget the chicks and stick with tesco's, like the idea of keeping chickens, but in reality i think tesco's will win over ,be lucky

[@Hunter_S-fr4ns]

Thank you so much .. things to think about now 👍

[@jakehood2481]

I get my 16 week old bluebells delivered tomorrow,I have quite an average sized garden that my 3 birds will have to share with 4 children,do you think 3 is enough to wreck my garden lol?

[@tamimtimimi2347]

She's 100% right, i wash there legs, 1s every 2 month, chak them all make sure they healthy, water change sometimes 2s a day, they hard work but I love them too bits,

[@masifkhan.]

great video, thanks!

[@Sylvia-Storm]

I’m toying with the idea of getting ex battery hens. Never kept chickens before so I’m trying to find out all I can. They’ll be on an elopement, where several owner have chickens so I might get good advice.

[@user-wq6hr9xi2n]

Useful video, thanks!

[@rebeccaard1]

Agh is the noise bad?

[@RR-vg5hg]

Hens are not noisy at all, dogs are far far worse, and literally everyone’s got a dog

[@philipparker5495]

great video... Thank you

[@chicofoxo]

Just a little suggestion... have some footage of your chickens with you narrating. Cute as you are, not interested in watching a video of you in your bedroom.

[@gwentballer]

Shove your suggestions up your arse buddy.

[@Retailiscrap]

Chicken shagger!

[@peterjones3879]

Completly agree with this, when you popped up i was looking for the skip advert button, i thought you were going to tell me why i should start making my Amazon Millions. None tge less the best video i have found so far on the subject, and i watched it all. Thankyou!

[@aabras1]

I enjoyed looking at her eyes while listening

[@RizwanKhan-nx7um]

I have the flock of 20 what should I do

[@frosttroll3411]

Sell them for £5 on ebay

[@frosttroll3411]

*used*

[@fitnessfightback7173]

Dunno what it was but something was making me want to subscribe.

[@amandacribb2526]

One feeder for seven ? Should be at least three. Chickens should always free range UNLESS on lockdown IE birdflu. Cleaning out is daily, why haven't you mentioned this due to bacteria ? Need much more info !

[@DC-fo3bn]

So basically you punish your chickens for being chickens whilst also taking their eggs? Entitlement 101. Its not the chickens fault you like your garden to comply to your rules.

[@RR-vg5hg]

I got chickens they are not noisy, dogs are much much worse noise wise

[@jackrussell1753]

Can you not just take the chickens to the vets if they need to be put down. Don’t want to have to dispatch them.
