Meyer Hatchery Coop Tour - Rapps Roost!

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Kelly is a star! This is a resort, a bird paradise and the owner is so nurturing and thoughtful! I've picked up some really great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@MeyerHatchery]

We agree, such a beautiful setup! Thank you for watching!

[@juliannedispain1637]

OMG! How pretty is the entire setup! I so enjoyed watching this video.

[@MeyerHatchery]

It really is divine!

[@xemphim11021]

Look like a 5 stars hotel for the chicks ..❤❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@Thingys-Jill]

I just found this video. I love Meyer Hatchery. I only have bantams, and I got 4 from you: a Green Queen, Steele Egger, Mottled Cochin, and a white Silkie. They hatched August 29, 2022. For anyone reading this, Meyer Hatchery offers vent sexed day-old chicks and I think that is wonderful, especially for those of us who live in a place that doesn't allow roosters. I previously had to rehome 4 roos (out of 6 chicks) from another hatchery. It's heartbreaking to raise them for 5 months only to find out they're roos (they were having a crow-off!). The 2 remaining Silkies from the other hatchery watched over the 4 from Meyer Hatchery from nearly the beginning. I started the babies in a rabbit cage inside the coop. After a week they were good to go and there were no problems. The chicks are healthy as can be. Thank you Meyer Hatchery. I loved seeing your set up!

[@Laschicasdehoy]

Aww! She loves her birds!! ❤

[@mommamorris3]

I love all of these chicken coop tours but this was probably my favorite 😍

[@angelaberni8873]

This is certainly the very best set up that I've ever seen and believe me I've seen many !! Well done !! One immediately can see the love,consideration and passion that has gone into this beautiful area.

[@MeyerHatchery]

Thank you, Kelly, for sharing your coops. Lots of great, unique ideas. Poultry keeping is contagious!

Love this!!

[@kimnation3948]

Beautiful Coop

[@MeyerHatchery]

It truly is amazing and drool-worthy!

[@cs7717]

What is that super gorgeous bird at 6:26? More info on it please! I would guess a pheasant, based upon the birds you said you have in there, but then you also said only hens were in there. Female pheasants are plain janes from what I know.

[@MeyerHatchery]

That is a Lady Amherst Pheasant!

[@cs7717]

@@MeyerHatchery Thanks! I never got the notification of your kind answer, but I had to come back and see the bird again, which is why I saw this now.

[@shirley1413]

Just found you,,, new subscriber,, love this whole set up,,, such an awesome pen for the chicks. Love the quote “ my chicken bucket list”. If i was a chicken,,,I would pick this pen to live in!!!

[@MeyerHatchery]

I think we would all love to live here!

[@meredithmoore8909]

So love it! Great job.

[@MeyerHatchery]

Thanks for watching!

[@KOAlleyCat]

What is the bird at 6:28? Absolutely gorgeous.

[@MeyerHatchery]

Thank you for your question! That beautiful bird is a Lady Amherst's Pheasant.

[@KOAlleyCat]

@@MeyerHatchery Thank you so much!!

[@beckyreid5815]

I'm curious.. the budgies etc... how do they do in the winter? It must get pretty cold there? I would LOVE to let my yellow nape amazon have fun in an aviary but I've always figured that it got too cold here in VA?

[@MeyerHatchery]

Thanks for your question! We reached out to Kelly and she confirmed the budgies do stay out year around. She acclimated them by taking them out in early spring/summer, once the temps were not going below 40F. Kelly called out that it’s very important to have dry, wind free shelter, food and fresh water year around. She also provides appropriate nesting materials, and the parakeets usually nest in small bird houses in the shed portion of her coop. 💖

[@nancylayko3739]

Love the aviary setup, curious as to what you modify in the winter. I noticed that the runs all have pea gravel, how do you keep it clean

[@MeyerHatchery]

Hi Nancy! Pea gravel can be washed with a hose or power washer to remove built up waste. Modifications in the winter may include plastic tarping on the exterior of the aviary.

[@susantaylor8507]

What kind of dirt you put in your yard area

[@ErikLandvall]

very impressive, gj and work to whoever set this up for you. May I ask what you feed the bird? they look super healthy and well taken care of as well. I saw a rooster with very impressive healthy feathers and colors. I'm a first year house owner, so not much experience in this field, but looking into converting an area on our lands to something similar, about half the space you got setup.

[@MeyerHatchery]

Hi, Erik! Exotic birds have different protein requirements than chickens. We have wonderful resources in our help desk at meyerhatchery.com that can guide you to feeding requirements.

[@sweetiepi]

How big is that aviary set up? It’s so amazing

[@MeyerHatchery]

The shed attached is 8x10 and the outside aviary is 20x40. 12 ft of the outside aviary has additional metal roofing for coverage. It is INCREDIBLE!

[@sweetiepi]

@@MeyerHatchery someday I’ll have to visit

[@chickensquailandbirds5650]

Wow that is such a beautiful coop! I did not know all those different birds could live together. I mean, if the chickens would eat the button quail, why dont they eat the finches?

[@MeyerHatchery]

In aviaries like this where each species has the space they need and the terrain they want, birds can live together easily!

[@chickensquailandbirds5650]

@@MeyerHatchery Yea im assuming the budgies and finches can get away because they can fly

[@wilettejohnson9372]

HOW EVER do you keep the dust down on the inside?

[@MeyerHatchery]

Thank you for watching, a lot of maintenance helps to keep the dust down for sure!

[@marialeach8960]

What a beautiful "foul sanctuary"! You know about putting fake eggs in the nesting boxes, I had about 9 or so fake eggs in my nesting boxes and they all just disappeared over time! I have a feeling the squirrels took 'em. LOL

[@MeyerHatchery]

That is hilarious, Maria! Thank you for watching!

[@Laschicasdehoy]

Does she have a lot of land?

[@anirthesengalparrot]

Can i put ducks and chikens together ?

[@MeyerHatchery]

Thanks for asking! We recommend to keep ducks and chickens in separate spaces, as they do have different nutritional needs, and the ducks are extremely messy with their water.

[@anirthesengalparrot]

@@MeyerHatchery except that there's nothing bad i mean in coexcisting with each other in same space no fighting or killing each other right?

[@MeyerHatchery]

Yes, they will coexist without much drama, especially if you have only females in your flocks.

[@markcrawford8876]

This is outstanding and beautiful however, that setup has to be a full time job for her plus helper.

[@susantaylor8507]

I think in my new pen I'm going to use construction sand

[@fludrbywest3886]

Chock full of information❣️❣️🫶

[@amyexner]

No need for artificial eggs; give your children plenty of oyster shells and they will not eat their own eggs.

[@TheCamelCityRabbitHole]

Does Kelly have a Facebook page, KZbin channel, Instagram, tik tok, or any social media setup to follow? If not, she should and then post links here! Just beautiful and calming like she said. Thanks for sharing!! #goals
