Poultry Production from Start to Finish

In this episode we take a look at the poultry industry. Poultry is Virginia's largest commodity, and it's Rockingham County that was once known as the turkey capital of the world. In fact, today's modern poultry practices of using brooder houses instead of a free range was started by R.B. Strickler and Charles Wampler, Sr. of Harrisonburg. We were given the unique opportunity to see the poultry production process from start to finish, and in this episode, we share that with you. Then Chris Mullins shares tips on growing hearty mums, From the Ground Up. All on this edition of Virginia Farming.

Hey my name is Carlos Garcia I saw a KZbin video on chicken houses you did and was wondering if you know how hard is to start a group to pick up chicken. I have worked in some chicken house's before but would be nice to get my own crew. If you have any information on this topic it would be greatly appreciated

[@brodiemcfadyean893]

I must say what a Savage handling of the chicks

[@STEVIE1959]

When I was about 6 years old in 1965 we got our family's first 280 ft by 50 ft chicken house it took 12 weeks to raise a 3.75 lb bird for meat I worked from 6 till I found other work around 18 raising chickens,by then we had three houses the two newer houses were 325 by 50 ft back then especially the first 6 yrs or so we did everything manually including pulling feed buggys from one end to the other filling up feeders that held about 5 gallon each and there was probably 200 or so in one house once the ckicks got 2 to 3 weeks old we had to feed them daily so after school I got off the buss at 4:00 pm ate a snack and went to the chicken house. finally after about 6yrs we got automatic feeders but we still had to feed the new chicks by hand until they were large enough to reach the automatic feeders, It was hard 7 day a week work and today even with the computers i'm pretty sure it still quite a job. you have to have a strong work ethic to maintain chickens I remember our pay started at like 1.75 cent a pound for the chickens when they went to the processor of course the company furnished the chicks and feed an a little help with gas to heat them during winter. I believe our pay for that first house was like 600 dollars for 12 weeks. by the time I moved out we were raising 4.5lb birds in 42 to 48 days and if they wanted tv dinner birds they would pick them up at 36 days or something like that. I was so glad to get out of there then when I turned 40 something I was wishing I would have continued funny how that works.................stevie from Alabama-

Umm, many people don’t eat meat. I do, but why don’t you imagine being stuck in a little cage that doesn’t even allow you to turn around. This video didn’t show the hell that animals live through. Do you support torturing animals, especially dogs and cats? And if it’s illegal to do it to them, why is it not illegal to treat animals in inhumane ways their entire life just to save some money. Killing is one thing, torturing is another.

Hello Fri, I want to have some questions to you. I am from Myanmar. 1) How many hours should we give 1 to 10 days chicks to sleep roughly per day? 2) How many times should we use tonic medicine for 1 to 10 day chicks per day? Thank you in advance for your sharing.

[@titnamthem4960]

Chicks require 8-10 hrs of sleep. Remember to insert burning charcoal or heat bulbs during the night. You need to put tonic medicines once for 3-4 days only or once your chicks fall ill.

Why aren’t the fertilized eggs kept with the mother hen to hatch? I still believe you can get as much quality produce with free range chickens being fed natural products.

[@thefarmingguy43]

Those chickens those brood.

[@fwoggieboi3009]

Some hens do not like brooding eggs and if they brood them the hatch rate goes down because you can not control the proper conditions. Also you can free range the birds but it lowers the efficiency, growth etc.

[@anthonymoser46]

Leg horns don't go broody most of the time an depending on if it's a breeder house might not be fertile eggs

[@Obi-wankenobiyearsago]

Guys you don't have to watch this video. According to most sources, this is what you have to do to have a successful poultry farm. Step 1: give your birds as little space as possible. Step 2: make sure that they have to stick their head through cold metal bars to eat. Step 3: if a chicken is being bullied, don't help it. Don't have any concern of suffering animals. Step 4: make sure they only have just enough food to survive and lay eggs. Step 5: make sure your birds never see sunlight. Its bad for them you know. If you follow these directions you will become a succesful poultry farmer. Oh, wait did I say succesful? I meant cruel, Inhumane, and selfish.

[@HarukiYamamoto]

Says a person who has probably never raised 10,000 birds.

[@Obi-wankenobiyearsago]

No, I haven't raised over 10,000 birds, but I have raised over a hundred at least, and the reason I only have about 100 is because I don't have the space for over 10,000 birds. I'd have space if I stuffed them in cages their entire lives but other than that I wouldn't have the space.

[@Obi-wankenobiyearsago]

And trust me, I'm not a greeny, I know when I have to give some roosters the chop.

[@HarukiYamamoto]

@@Obi-wankenobiyearsago Cages are far better for managing infections, food and water consumption, waste and the general welfare of birds than your suggestion of deep litter or free range. The higher the number of birds on the farm, the more it makes sense to use battery cages. Battery cages are better for the birds when you don't have the space for the deep litter or free range methods. You believe battery cages are "inhumane" because you are projecting your own fear of being restricted onto animals with pea-sized brains.
