PASTURE RAISED EGGS ON FARM | THE PERFECT WAY TO START FARMING?

[@gffarming5752]

Amazing video + I will definitely try persuade my Dad and Grandad to do this ,as me and my Grandad loves hens 👍👍!!!

[@baldysfarm]

Thanks mate, it’s a great way to get started and keep things pretty simple. Keep rats and mice away too as they keep moving.

[@keithaspin5160]

fantastic insight James and what a marvellous chicken Tractor!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@baldysfarm]

Thank Keith. Just trying to keep it simple.

[@44birdie44]

Would be nice to hear about the weekly/monthly expenses and costs to get into the pasture raised eggs. Nice earner for you for sure, well done.

[@baldysfarm]

I can try and put something together for another video if you like. The biggest expense really is the feed once your get the ball rolling.

[@44birdie44]

@@baldysfarm ya can imagine the feed has increased big time in the last year or two aswell. Have you any arable to grow your own? Been a while since saw your videos so don't remember if you are tillage?

[@maxdouglas857]

Look at richard Perkins or a farm called heather hill farm. They do that as well and have come up with some awesome designs. Both have KZbin channels👍

[@baldysfarm]

Yes, I’ve seen their designs and think they are great. We have to have a few different things because of the laws but I really like how they have done it.

[@DJC995]

Nice One James I have been keeping chickens for years 2 moveable houses a few things I need to think about altering now probably move mine in side for the winter this weekend (ground gets to wet and muddy ) Thanks again

[@baldysfarm]

It’s a great way to do it. Would love to work out how to do it on a large scale but I’m not sure how easy it would be. I your stay safe from bird flu, it is terrible this year.

[@kellerferenc]

The most important part!!!! WHERE CAN WE BUY THESE EGGS???

[@paulthompson8467]

Cool video James hens are how I started my farming career kept them on deep litter which is a mix of wood shavings and a little peat for red mite on the roosts we killed them with a paint brush and red diesel👍

[@baldysfarm]

Hey paul, I have heard about using red diesel before but didn’t know exactly how it was done. Really interesting.

[@Kac3ry]

Informative, Brilliant Thank You‼️

[@baldysfarm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tonysmith1688]

Just watched your video for first time fantastic 👍.

[@baldysfarm]

Thanks Tony, I hope you like the future videos too. 👍

[@calumanderson5617]

Very interesting video James 👍 especially about the use of ash to combat red mite which my neighbour has and for ever trying to get rid of it, any particular fire ash ? Coal, wood, ash ??a lot better than the 1950's farming book I've got with suggestion which was to dip them in lamp oil,!!!!😳 like your trailer design lay out.🙂👍

[@baldysfarm]

We just use the ash from wood fires and it does the trick. Not sure if coal works the same but I would think so. I don’t know where we learnt it but I know I read somewhere in a regenerative guide.

Thanks Alejandro

New subscriber. Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@baldysfarm]

Thanks you very much 👍

[@brendanl3071]

This is an excellent video and a prime example how to raise hens in a healthy environment. Can you ship few dozen to Ireland ? I'd gladly buy 😃

[@baldysfarm]

Thanks brendan, I could try but I don’t know how they would look when they got there 😂 we have started to get a really good following locally with them which is really great. 👍

[@garymadden2656]

Great video 👌

[@baldysfarm]

Thanks Gary!

[@TheCornishpoacher]

Hey Baldy, Could you film making the houses? thanks

[@baldysfarm]

When I make another I will do! I’ve just finished building my second one!

[@dof674]

Any visit from Fantastic Mr. Fox? 🦊

[@baldysfarm]

Not yet but that fence bloody kicks well.

[@NaturesRest4631]

Do you get any issues with condensation on the roof?

[@baldysfarm]

Never had any yet. I think the air flow due to the mesh floor keeps it at bay. And the roof is on a slant so the moisture runs out of the shed. 👍

[@jenniferwhite6089]

wow since the covid hit we are not able to reuse the egg cartons all it is a health issue when covid was

[@baldysfarm]

We just use the plastic boxes as we can ensure they are fully cleaned before reuse ♻️ .

[@patrickaherne3598]

Plus, the chicken manure is feeding your pasture.

[@baldysfarm]

Exactly Patrick! You can really tell the difference this year! It will be interesting to see how long you can see where they have been.

[@warranstanley2502]

Hi 👋 James, how much are they per box

[@baldysfarm]

Hey warran, selling them at 6 for £1.50 and 12 for £2.50
