I've found that just opening the gates will allow deer and wild turkeys in. It's nice that you let Bob collect his pension for his years on the job. I read somewhere that chickens stay younger and fitter if they get enough mashed-up, fermented food. Maybe give him some oats mixed with beer or something. Bob will probably like that.

Grumpy Granny's Goats n Garden is right- no rooster needed. I like to have at least one rooster, especially for the hens in our larger, open chicken area, as the roosters look out for their flock, warn them of danger and alert them to food sources.

Wow - that is the best and MOST AFFORDABLE little chicken tractor ever. I have a hen house and run and an extended run. The extended run has become a rich, potential garden area much like yours, but I had no real idea as to how to move them out of it. That is a great idea. We went away for a few days and when we got back a hawk had killed 2 of my hens (they broke out of the coop area)...free ranging is not an option. Great vid - any time you can come away from a vid with an idea you can actually use - that is a good thing! Keep 'em coming :)

Jenna, you do a great job. Your enjoyment of your gardening shines through. I have free range chickens and found that everyone loves chicken. The neighbors dogs, coyotes, hawks, even a mink, not to mention those awful raccoons! And yes, an eagle flying from Buckeye lake is occasionally spotted. I'm having success in free ranging within the confines of a long (100 feet) narrow (10-20 feet) poultry netting set up with pallets on 2x4 legs set here and there. The Hawks don't like the narrow flight pattern...so far. The mobile coop is a predator safe fortress. You have inspired me to use the chickens in the 25' x 50' garden for clean up if I can find time between cleaning up the garden and seeding a winter cereal rye cover crop.

But we have been raising and show at ARBA shows and conventions our meat rabbits for the past 30 years. That manure is cold. Rabbits are a lot more work than chickens...it is just my opinion, to take care of. Either way you have a very nice setup for your chickens and gardens. If we were younger, we would have chickens too. We have had rabbits for four generations since 1950 when my dad started the first rabbitry. That new coop will really help you out. Impressive!

As a lad growing up on Grandpap John's farm, one of my 'jobs' was to make certain all of the used aluminum pie pans were still hanging in place. The Sun 'flashing' and the irregular banging caused by the wind from those pans did a good job of keeping those birds of prey at bay...which was a good thing considering there were on average about 2000 laying hens free ranging in the runs. Lost a few though...Nature's way of taking care of the weak birds. Chickens are wonderful composting machines. My neighbor spent a weekend putting new plants in her garden...their chickens ate them in one day of free ranging. That Eglu set up is grand! Enjoyed the video! Cheers...

I so enjoy your videos. This one was out of my realm, as in my long life, I have experienced almost no exposure to raising chickens. I have a friend that took care of the neighbors chickens while the owners were on vacation. It was not an uneventful duty. He entered the yard to feed the chickens and the rooster attacked him. He grabbed a pitch fork to fend off the attack and neither my friend or the rooster was harmed. My buddy locked up the hens. The rooster retreated into the brush. Turns out, the rooster got killed during the night by some bigger critter. I told this story to a Farm Girl friend of mine and she said hens can have eggs just like humans and no roosters are needed for the eggs. I think chickens are great but they are currently a domesticated food source I know nearly nothing about. Thanks for a bit of education.
@GrowfullywithJenna2 жыл бұрын
I have heard stories of roosters that terrorize people- we are very fortunate that for all the roosters we've had (5 at this point), we've never raised one that's been aggressive towards people. It is true that you don't need roosters to get eggs- the girls will lay regardless. But I like having a rooster around because they do a great job protecting the flock and once in a while we get a hen who goes broody and will end up having chicks- that is a lot of fun!

Want a bigger Omlet run?? I've had one for about 5 years. Worked really good until these last couple of years. The openings in the wire at the top half are about twice the size of the ones on yours. Unfortunately now we seem to have a large bunch of some kind of bird that are bent on getting in and getting the chicken feed AND the openings in the wire are big enough for them to get in. Concerned about this Avian Flu going around. Feeling like nothing short of building a new run using hardware cloth is my only option and that isn't a quick fix. In the meantime.......... I considered the Eglu at one time. Like the thought of using it for a chicken tractor.

My dad and I hatched 8 chickens a couple months ago we had no chickens before the chicks. We built a chicken tractor where we put them in after 5 weeks old and they stayed in that for a couple months. We just got done building a coop on top of the chicken tractor and put a ladder down so they could go up there at night we have perches, vents, Windows, and bedding in this coop. The only issue is I cannot get the chickens to go up there, I used some mealworms to coax them in there and only 1 would get on the ladder and climbed all the way to the top and got in the coop but she quickly left and hasn't returned. We live in Illinois and yesterday we had 60+ mph windstorm and as it was blowing I went out to see if they got in their Coop and they were all standing behind the ladder huddled together looking at me like why haven't you built us a house yet. Do you know how to coax them up there because I don't know what to do and I feel bad?
