Hi, I've got 5 hens, but only get 2~3 eggs a day What can I do to help them? They don't seem egg bound and 2 are gold lace waydonett but went through a molt and are bullying one bird.

I do this too!!!!❤

I don’t get it, they took eggs from a mother duck and gave them to a broody chicken? What about the mother duck?

Great video. Good point about giving them enough space. Once, I crowded a bunch of carrots too close to one another. It didn’t stop them from producing carrots, but the lack of air circulation between plants caused a disgusting sludge/slime to develop on the soil surface. I also notice that the leaves tend to dry out quickly. Nice share. Be well. - Colin

Great video! Deep bedding and deep litter methods are great! We do this in our chicken coop. Another benefit is, it produces heat, which is nice for the chickens when it is cold. Our coop pile gets super hot in the winter. It steams. I usually clean it out in the summer. The chickens turn it into great composting material. New subscriber here! Be well. - Colin

The way the GIANT ducklings kept "peeping" for their chicken mom after you put them in the pasture made me laugh so hard for some reason 😂😂😂

As a potato loving person from a potato eating country, i love seeing people grow and harvest their own potatoes! Have you tried digging them up with a fork? In my experience that works better as it brings the potatoes up more and leaves the dirt behind. But some tiny potatoes COULD be left begind tho but thats for the little wild friends😁

Lovely. Enjoy the fruits (vegetables?) of your labor, potato girl!!!

Perhaps your soil is not deep, as that was to me a very unthorough digging up of a plant. You would miss half or more of the potatoes that I would get, riddling the soil more comprehensively. But perhaps it works for that breed and soil type.

I wish i had that life

Potatoes girl 🥔🥔 🧑‍🌾

You won't be "making potatoes . . .", you'll be cooking some. Cease mashing our language, will you?

Thanks for sharing potato, girl! (Don’t know your name but love your enthusiasm)

Greetings. I am still new to chickens with 9 birds, and i have not yet figured out how i am going to run power for water heaters. Do you use solar?

Sounds like you have a great gratitude for Gods creation. Your words remind me of some theologians I’ve read.

Thanks for sharing potato girl.

Love my chicks and will eat their eggs, but otherwise giving them the best life I can to live out the few years that they live.

19% you mean like 19% of Comercial pellet feed 81% of your own food ?. I am getting into free range poultry. i bought seed to grow to lower feed cost maybe its too much 😅 am i doing wrong ? Alfalfa, rye grass, mulberry leaves , Sorghum, some millet , red clover, Chicory, Cow peas, buckwheat, Moringa, red Amaranth, Moringa tree leaves. 😂

I needed this today!!! Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love turkeys! For all the same reasons.

Good for you and your chick

My brother had a brooding hen who hatched 2 peacock eggs

Cutee🥰🥰

Do you wash them as you cook them then?

Just asking why you didn't but then directly in the freezer bag 1st Instead of the baking sheets

Use Olivola oil to preserve, don't freez it

Cutee🥰🥰

Please sharpen your knife

I really appreciate you sharing this. As a farm girl that loves my animals, and also uses them for providing food, I have had to do the difficult things just as you describe. It’s very bitter sweet sometimes. But I wouldn’t trade this life for any other! ❤

how does it have 15 likes but only 10 views, I don't understand it. I don't understand this happens with so many videos, and I just don't understand it like how😅😢

Great idea !! Thanks

My friend has a Silkie and she is the best hatcher and mother out there. Shes raised Rouen ducks, call ducks, and at least 3 different kinds of chickens and they are all super sweet. My friend got some unsocialized Mandarin ducks and once the girls choose to lay some eggs they are going right to the Silkie.

A mother is a mother no matter what

But what's wrong with GMOs?

I hope they still get to meet sometimes❤

I have done this myself and Its true! An easy way to test is Put the egg in a glass of cold water: a fresh or fairly fresh egg will lay on its side and as it ages it wil begin to stand up on a end and if it floats just a little scramble it. If it floats to the top dispose of it. Its due to the egg slowly overtime absorbing airthus allowing bacteria to form.

My chickens could not figure out nipple waterers. So I use the water cups. 5 gal bucket and drill in the bottom to install cups.. the bad thing is the chickens can break them if they try and stand on the cups. But no mess and no spills.

And here I thought I was the o ly 1 that knows how to save time, my back and make my own soil the easy way. For a half a century I've done this! Also, if you plan on putting compost in an area on you property, just build the compost right on that spot!. Im an old granny of 77 years old.

That is beautiful. You have a blessed life.

How do you keep fire ants out? I'm in Central Texas, and they are absolutely everywhere.

Thanks for a lovely tour, looks great 💚

They are listening to you talk about culling them 😳

Just wait until the ducks try to mate with the chickens! 😂😂 I speak from experience!

There are plants which are toxic to goats! Do your research first, please!
