Gave me a great idea! I love your pvc pipe set up for water and food. Im thinking i can use capped metal or plastic gutters and drill holes the same way, but ill connect it to the gutters on the coop so itll be rain water instead of having to fill up. Thank you! Im going to check out the rest of your page!

[@Ludlamfamilyfarm]

Sounds like a great idea! Let me know how it works for you.

Is it hard to raise chickens?

[@kalypsspylak1659]

I started with 1 chicken that was kept with roosters i got her for free and she kept laying for 2 weeks and went broady i gave her back her eggs 12 and 11 hatched that was 8 months ago now i got more then 90 and god knows how much quail 😂😂😂 they are super easy to multiply i could probably get more than 160 more by the end of the year if i want but cant handle that much i am keeping it under 100 on purpose

Love this video very instructive

[@mkp_007]

Just found your channel. We have (6) 20 week old chicks. Rhode Island Red & wydonette. They'll eat the cheap feed, which turns out to be mostly dust (waste of money). So, I've been slowly introducing them to feed with the good stuff (corn, seeds, peas, etc). Hopefully, they will adjust and start eating it. Then again, we probably winded up with finicky eaters 🐔 😞 😂

[@Ludlamfamilyfarm]

Congratulations on your new chickens. I hope you enjoy them. We started with 20 and we just kept getting more because we loved them so much! Ours eat just about anything. Lots of food scraps and I cook them peas, beans, lentils and pasta. It ends up being much cheaper and in my opinion better for them. We do give about 4 bags of food a week because it is much more convenient. They also forage several acres.

Now that's chicken heaven lol. I just started with 60 birds myself this summer and perhaps 100 next spring. That is big to me 😂

[@Ludlamfamilyfarm]

If you started with 60 that’s way more than most people start with. I prefer to do 50-60 at a time. I find it much more manageable.

[@groovytunes2]

Very cute children 🥰

[@UsmanFaraz854]

How you manage all this? Love to see your video very informative and interesting. Which feed you use?

[@yourrandomshorts4906]

16:40 the fly is stealing the focus 🤣

[@MistressOP]

This is a small tip but if you take each one out 1 at a time in front of the food and water tipping there beak into water and putting them down in same area. it can really help them health of the chicks.

[@stijnt2377]

Would love to hear how you've gone about drumming up demand while the chickens were getting ready to lay. The jump from 100 to 600 is huge and as you said the feed cost is pretty significant. How frequently do you plan to switch out chickens?

[@PazLeBon]

feed cost is peanuts:)

[@TheOrganicFarming]

[@laceydevillier3922]

Y'all should really look into growing your own fodder. Turn 50 lbs of seed into 200 lbs of forage.

We ordered all female. When you hatch your own you could end up with 50% or more roosters. These are for eggs not meat so that would have been a huge waste for us.
