THE FOURTEEN ACRES
США
Добавлен 31 май 2015
I'm Leslie from @thefourteenacres. I've been breeding chickens specifically for egg color for the past 8 years. My Rainbow Eggs and I were featured on “Martha Gets Down And Dirty” on Discovery Plus! (Season 1 Episode 5).
I'm an avid gardener, grower, beekeeper, and animal lover. My family and I live on a 14 acre farm about 20 miles south of Dallas. I absolutely love to teach and share my passions with others. To me there is nothing better than getting other people excited about the things I'm excited about. Come along as we create the life we were meant for.

You are like collecting a basket of gems, so beautiful and unique.
Geez. Something other that the metric system. I can weight the birds first
Where can you get this Ivermectin? I have only 3 hens.
Lovely music.
Awesome channel, If I mate my light brahma rooster with a barred cochin hen. Will the male offsprings be barred?
❤❤❤
I am so excited about this! I have hatched and raised rainbow eggs and now I am about to hatch their babies, so I can’t wait to see what in between shades of olives and everything else !! We have green, blue, dark brown, white and pinks atm so I can not wait to see what we get next time
So interesting love it
Could you please spell the medication. I want to be sure to get the right product. Many thanks….very helpful. I personally don’t believe in holistic medication. When you have a problem you should deal with it instead of playing around with products that likely won’t work.
You lost me at kilos
Whats kind of chicken laid the super blue one
Your Bird looks so delicious honey and you prepared and cooked it so professionally….actually better than a tv Chef!! And here are everyone who owns an Electric Turkey oven complaining that they can’t get their Bird to Brown…..’Well Honey, you done it” I own a Nesco 18 quart Electric Turkey Oven and I can’t wait to do what you did and become a Successful Bird Browning Chef, lol, lol….I think because you started the Temperature at the highest temperature 450 df for 30 minutes with lid on, did the trick….to Brown it….please any suggestions would be appreciated….your oven with the exception of being an Oster Oven and mine a Nesco Oven 18 quart and not 22 quarts is the only difference…..thanks for the well done Video!!❤
What type of lime do you use in the bedding?I couldn’t understand you. Thank you so much for your video. The dosage was hugely. Helpful to me.. I have just been using cattle injectable, but I think I will try the spot on stuff..
Another good reason to use ivermectin in the fall is because typically your chicken start molting around August and if you give them safeguard during their molt, the newly formed feathers will come in deformed sometimes but ivermectin does not cause that problem so I like to use ivermectin in the fall and safeguard in the spring. Something that I do when I worm my chickens as I wait until they are roosting after dark, it’s a lot easier to catch them that way they are so much more quiet and then I mark each one I’ve treated by putting a little dab of flour on their feathers so I can see who I have wormed. They shake it off by the morning.
Hi I want to get that all types of coloured eggs please send me contact details or Facebook page
How many days for egg withdrawal please. Thanks
I’m so glad to have found you. I love your voice.
She has an Amazing and clear delivery voice
Thank you for this! 🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤
Witch power ivermectin use for poultry 1% 2% or above please tell me
This is a great video! Living on a farm is such a fantasy dream life for me in the suburbs. It's grounding to see the harder emotional side of someone living the farm life. Thank you for making this more realistic and honest!
Thanks!🎉 Just got the pour on in the mail - will be administering the drops today .Was happy to watch your video as it's my first time.
@THE FOURTEEN ACRES Do you have a recommendation dosage for a single 3 1/2 lb silkie hen ?? No vets in my area work on chickens or birds.. (pour on ivermectin ) specifically . Shes 2 1/2 yrs old and never been sick until now..
please . more videos on how to create different colour eggs ! please please please
I love my multi colored eggs. MY Cream Leg bars are great. Laying about 210 to 240 eggs per hen per year All blue.
You can charge more for coloured eggs. 🙂
What happened? Why you don’t post anymore?
A little shocked how pale your egg yokes are. They look like commercial egg yolks. Are your chickens on commercial feed? Any free range time? Our hens egg yokes are a dark orange color. I wouldn’t eat them for a while because they were weird. My wife got me to try them and they have amazing flavor. We feed with Purina layer feed, lots of meal worms and corn. And about 20-30 hours of free range time per week. We have 3 1/2 acres of pasture that they patrol for grass, clover, worms and bugs.
We had our "rainbow" flock in Southern California. Right before Martha Stewart "came out" with chickens. People were shocked. Most loved the multiple colors. A few people told me they don't eat eggs that aren't white or brown. (?????) This was on the beach down near the border; and for a while, they were very very popular! Americana, Maran, Cream Legbar, and a few barnyard mixes that had color genes. They were acutely interested in inspecting my "actual chicken" who rode with me in a stroller. I'm very old, but I was shocked how many kids had never seen/petted one! MOST foreign tourists came and told me what kind of chickens they have back home. I accidentally created a stir when she laid an egg in a mall near the play area, and a bunch of toddlers thought they had witnessed a magic trick! LOL
So interesting! Thank you, I appreciate your clear, concise explanation. I wonder if you could recommend a good basic beginner book on breeding chickens for desired traits? I have ADHD, and retain read facts more easily? I love your information, just feel like I need some background knowledge. Thank you.
Awesome information. I have a friend who has been breeding her BCM to get Olive eggers. After listening to these videos, I now kinda understand what she has been telling me that was Greek before. I cant wait Ronald her if she has been watching videos by 14 Acres.
Where did you get those overalls?
I have a chicken that has worms. I treated her once a week ago with 5 drops. How often can I treat her? Please, and thank you for your reply
Great video! I have a 7 year old EE hen that lays the prettiest blue eggs occasionally. At her age, would they still be viable? She’s in my “retirement” pen with a Welsummer roo
Ma'am, i need to tell you how beautiful you are. You are an amazing combination of gorgeousness and intelligence. I really really like you. Please let me know if you could contact me.
I hope you're doing well! I recently came across your amazing RUclips videos about colored eggs and I got really interested in the subject. I live in Ananindeua, in the northern region of Brazil, and I'm currently setting up a chicken coop. I would love to learn more about the chickens you have to produce these colored eggs. Would you be able to provide me with information about the chicken breeds you own and that are capable of producing these different eggs? I know that in Brazil, breeds like "Araucana" or "Ameraucana" are more common, but I'm open to any information you can share. Thank you in advance for your attention and I hope we can exchange knowledge about poultry farming soon. Best regards,
What about a wild type male to a barred female?
Hi do you have pictures of the chicks
I can't get over how much better farm eggs are than the store brand.
See, YOU got it! Eggs that taste like eggs, not....tofu. Store bought eggs have the texture but lack the flavor. Besides, you get doubles the second year!
I like to use elector PSP for external parasites, Pumpkin seeds and papaya seeds for internet parasites… No egg withdrawal!!❤ Given at the correct doses my chooks were expelling their worms within 5 hours
I’m in DFW any chance you have any marans or olive egger babies for sale?
You should write a book!
You’re awesome! I love your eggs and information.
So, how do you treat tape worms?
Can you do a video on identifying barnyard mix chicks. I have white splash marans, blue copper marans, rir, and Barred rock roosters mixed into a large variety of heritage hens.
I love your videos about egg color and genetics. I would love to see more on this topic. It is clear you are knowledgeable and have a lot of experience. As a newbie, here are topics I’d love to see videos about F1, F2, F3…you mentioned F10 or something in your video (what does that mean?), what to cross to get specked olive eggers, what causes heavy bloom, what to do to develop the darkest marans egg, the positives and negatives of selling hatching eggs, what you feed your chickens. Thank you for considering these ideas. I’d love to learn more from you and I really enjoy your videos!
You can look this up, on your own. Then you would know what F1 or F2 generation means. Don't be lazy.
@@raywhitehead730 You Tubers like engagement and encouragement to do videos that would interest their followers. You Tube is a source for research and learning, and I’ve done lots of research since I made this comment. My comments were for the person creating videos for this channel. Interjecting your rude comment to me was unnecessary. Try kindness, it gives you more influence. Rudeness makes nobody care what you say.
I find your videos very helpful! Thank you 😊
Great video! Fascinating genetics information. I’m just getting into incubating and planning to create some olive eggers.
❤
Hi my name is Wendy, Do you sell eggs we can hatch or even better can we buy female chickens from you. I just love your color choices and would love to have our own colored egg chicks. We live in Long Beach Washington Thank you.
Which chicken lays the most dark brown eggs per year? I’d love to get a Maran however I need to keep my chicken count to about 4 while still producing enough eggs for our egg loving family of 4. I’m looking for a chicken that lays dark dark brown eggs but produces more than the Maran. Thank you for your videos!
