Greetings from our homestead in NH. Good info. We actually had to stop allowing our chickens and ducks from free ranging all over our farm because of predators. We were just losing too many. We still give them a large moveable fenced in area with some Premier1 fencing and that seems to be doing a pretty good job. We’ve also been experiencing a lot with water issues in our cold climate as well. We actually just purchased a heated water hose that has been a life and time saver for us. We love it! Hope you guys have a Happy New Year!
We have contemplated getting Premier1 fencing for new/young chicks and any other animals we may add. So far our predators aren't too bad. We have Bald Eagles, a golden eagle and red tail hawks around - but the chickens seek cover VERY quickly.
@@Lifefromtheclay Glad to hear they are smart enough to take cover. Many of our chickens are a little snow. LOL BTW- if you happen to be looking for Premier1 fencing for younger chickens, take a look at the shock or not fencing. The gaps in the fence are much smaller. We first made the mistake of using the regular size chicken fencing and the chicks went right through it.
So to add to your chicken breed i have sapphire gems or blue rocks theyre super calm as well as gold ee, i have straigt leghorns and they do not like to be held and def freak the other chickens out and they lay good but not friendly and bullies and my leghorn rooster total douche but loves his hens and fierce pritector lol gold ee roo not ao much. Sorry my phone case affects my typing lol😂 i also have barred rock super calm def a good chicken breed if you have kids. Also how do i start letting them out full time
So true, so many people get confused between ventilation and draft!
From 10 30 to 12 00 So well put. thanks
We are big supporters of the fact that even children can help in many capacities on a homestead.

If you give them a bit more protein when they get older they will still lay bunches. But if it’s only money your are after that is another story
They are so lovely.It's a sad world.
