      As a new bride my sister gave me some hens. I was self teaching several versions soup. One day I had a huge pot of black beans going and I was c rummaging around in the cupboard and came across baby oysters. Yep I added then my black beans (barf) ok not a good idea. I haulled that junk out the the chickens. It was a cold grey day (a hoar frost day) the chicken went nuts. Singing happy songs that hens tend to do. Happy hens that day and I never put baby oysters in soup again....

  • @WinkTartanBelle
    @WinkTartanBelle Год назад +146

    It took me about four years to talk Hubs into letting me get our first hens as day old chicks. He has always been a city boy and is (at the least) uncomfortable around anything but dogs and cats. Once the girls were about three months old he was hooked. He was the one who first named a bird. In the years since then he has relentlessly spoiled every chicken we've had. Every time I retire our old flock and start with new chicks, at least one of the new girls must look like his first favorite (a solid white leghorn hybrid he named April) and assume the same name. He's still not big on holding them, but he feeds special treats daily and talks to them in his sweetest tones. (Yes, I mean he talks "baby talk" to them.) He has spent a solid amount of money and expended a great deal of effort (even literal sweat and blood) to make sure these birds live in healthy and comfortable surroundings, protected from all predators. He was very conscientious about training our dogs to protect and not hassle the girls. He helps me care for them when asked, and is always alerting me if one "doesn't look right". I honestly think he'd object if one day I said "I'm tired of the chickens. Let's get rid of them."
    Today was the biennial "Big Girls' Coop" clean-out, since we also use the deep litter method. He hauled seven barrows of litter and poop to the compost pile, helped me dig out the areas that got wet during our torrential downpour last night. He washed feeders and waterers, scraped roosts, and helped me scrub and hose it all out. Once I had finished spraying out the building with Oxine and it was dry again, he hauled four big bales of shavings for me to spread out, and helped me reposition the nest boxes. Between tasks he was treating the girls and making sure they were comfortable in their temporary enclosure.
    Just be forewarned: Chickens are considered the gateway drug of livestock. They also spread a disorder that is called "chicken math". You might not think a chicken would be smart enough to steal your heart, but they not only can do so, they can break it too. Chickens are smart enough to have invented their own sport called "chicken football", which is often played with a dead (or nearly dead) mouse/large bug/lizard/huge worm. Frankly, I don't remember how to garden without chickens, so they might also cause a form of amnesia.

    I have the same sign on my coop "Fluffy butt hut". I had to work w/ my pups too but now, the chicks follow the pups around the yard like they are besties. I Also named my hens too. My wife and I named them after all the main characters on Steel Magnolias; Truvy, Annell, Ouisa, Clairee, M'lynn, & Shelby. We have one named Little Miss & she's special because she almost didn't make it. We had to take special care w/ her when we first got her as a chick. Love the channel, keep up the good work.

    Like how you described getting your dogs to be respect the chickens. We got our two GS dogs almost a year after we started raising chickens. The dogs were about 7 months old. The female made it her intense focus to lunge at the chicken enclosure while I was hustling to reinforce it, because I was afraid the dogs would eat them. Ah..nah! I woke up one day to find my rooster & one of the hens had somehow escaped the enclosure and availed themselves to our back patio (where I kept the feed). The dogs calmly reclined in the sun, occasionally opening an eyeball to see what was clucking nearby. Amazing! So I experimented, allowing the male dog (who didn't seem interested in the hens) into the yard where I'd built the enclosure. He simply ran around sniffing and frantically digging when he seemed to find something really interesting. The female paced back and forth, outside the chicken yard, whimpering. So I let her in to see what she'd do. The are quick to obey when we tell them "NO!," so I was a little less fearful at this poiint. Sure enough...what they wanted was the MICE! Dozens of mice running out of the enclosure as the dogs dug & chased. I was floored! Funny thing too: The rooster saw what was happening and rushed back into the yard to catch some. It was at that point that the hens finally realized that they could actually EAT mice. They hadn't bothered before & I was frustrated trying to keep them out so they wouldn't pollute the feed. Thank you dogs! When we decided to tear down the small coop to build a big one I upended a nest of mice inside the coop & the adults scattered over my feet while the babies were too small to run. The chickens went wild! I scooped up the baby mice & dropped some inside the enclosure for the hens to feast on. Nice! Now for the squirrels! They're a little more evasive!

      Free range the girls,, never have to rake leaves again. The girls will scratch thru the leaves all winter. When they poop on the deck just ignore it for a few days till it sets up then give it a kick with your boot. My daughters and I would visit the neighbor farmers and leave a dozen eggs. During harvest the farmers would leave me seed bags with corn and gravel for the chickens . Chickens can digest whole kernel corn but soaking with water makes corn go farther. To protect the girls run a hot wire 6 inches up around the coup ( highly recommend) it won’t hurt the chickens if they do get shocked.

Think of your preps as part of your long-term savings plan. Then hope that you can pass on and leave them to your loved ones. Fear Not Be of good courage. But also be like the woman in 1 Kings 17:7-16. There was a drought and a famine. No food, no water. Elijah and the Widow at Zarephath. She had listened to the prophet and stored up grain (food), oil (fats), and water. The food she ran out of, the oil she ran out of but the water, there was no miracle for the water. She had enough water stored to last the 3 years. 1 Kings 17:7-16 ... Joseph stored up a vast amount of grain. Those that did not have enough had to go to Egypt (The world). Ref: Genesis 47:15-20 Joseph in the famine purchased the people's money, possessions, lands, and ultimately then the people themselves. "47:23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land." (Everyone in the land became a slave to Pharaoh!) ... Starve or take the mark, number or name of ownership. It is going to get really hot and dry. Rev 16:9. There will be power shortages Rev 7:1. ... I believe that our Father is good and merciful; by faith, he will provide, but we have to be trying to move in the right direction to our capacity. Then like for everyone else even those with excessive abundance stored, persistence will be by his mercy. (Brother In Christ)

    We opted for ducks. Loved the info on how to test eggs, as we free range our ducks and some really like to hide their egg laying all over the acreage....but eventually we find the nests from watching over days. But love having fresh free range (orange yolk-not pale yellow) very tasty eggs...worth the feed and time. And its pretty neat seeing ducks dig around and explore the acreage and small pond we dug for them. Gives you a sense of normalcy in a world of chaos. You can also have them lay consistently year round if you manage the day light hrs they get by adding an auxillary timed led light to get to the 14hr daylight during winter.

      Isn't yellow actually a sign of a healthy egg? At least all organic eggs I ever bought do have yellow yolk while all the factory farmed eggs have orange yolks. In German egg yolk even literally translates to "egg yellow" (Eigelb).

    • @TheMikeSpike
      @TheMikeSpike Год назад

      Actually it depends on what they are fed. Here in Canada, the non-free run grocery store eggs are very pale yellow and almost tasteless.and they are fed soy which is not great for egg quality The more greens (true free run) they get to browse on the more the eggs become intense yellow to almost orange.

Also, on the salmonella thing, I've never had a problem. I eat raw cookie dough all the time (I just can't stop myself). I haven't freeze dried any raw eggs yet, but I did freeze dry scrambled eggs with wild harvested morel mushrooms & they turned out awesome. Definitely planning on doing a couple of big batches of raw before the girls stop laying regular for the winter

      Just don't get a rooster and use woodchips as Hax said, then no noise or smell, if no noise or smell the neighbors can't complain. Plus seems if you told your neighbors first and offered them eggs they might be down for that. A few chickens can supply a small family no problem if good layers, you'd have alot of extra eggs to share with your neighbors to keep them happy.

    Candle the eggs before putting in solution, make sure no cracks. Float testing is an indicator of the size of the air cell, which will also be larger if the egg is bad and producing gas. But an egg can be good and float if it has been stored in low humidity and the air cell is larger. They are great candidates for hardboiling because they will peel easier. You can candle them before using, but always rinse the lime solution off before cracking, and always crack into a small separate bowl to examine before adding to pan or recipe. Eggs stored in solution will absorb a little water before sealing, so the whites don’t stand up pretty for fried eggs, and you might want to adjust any liquid in a recipe down a tsp or so. Great video! Love the sound effects and editing!
