Who else saw the UFO✋🛸

Why do I never see them? Only the one she pointed out to us in front of the stools. That doesn't count.

My sister and I are fans of the Wizard of Oz. Our coop theme is 'somewhere over the rainbow'. Our ladder is painted in a rainbow. Their roosting bar has a rainbow shower curtain behind it to protect the wall. The walls are painted with sunflowers and daisies (a giant mural that looks like a meadow). Gingham curtain fasteners on their nesting house ext. We used a lot of repurposed materials and painted for months before our first chickens arrived this spring.
I love that!!
❤❤❤❤
👍
Thats sounds amazing! I wish you could post pictures in the comments so we could see it.
I love the wizard of oz too! I wish I could see your set up!
Oh Philipe! I teared up when I saw your sign, he never got to enjoy the Outer Chickelandia personally but he will greet and welcome all those that visit! He will never be forgotten.
Nicely done, may you and your feathered friends enjoy the new area. You will be able to bless many birds with this additional space. Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
Thank you so much. I can feel Philippe chasing me sometimes! He’s still there. ❤️❤️❤️
You’ve made it!! Omlet sponsored!! That’s awesome!! Congrats 🎊🎉
Right??? Total dream come true. 🥰🥰🥰
Dalia I am loving the new sign! What a fantastic way to honor Philippe!
🥰
I treasure my omlet Eglu Cube and chicken run. With 11 chickens, one coop wasn't enough. I have 2 Eglu Cubes attached to my Omlet walk-in run (6 ft. x 18 ft.). I use PDZ Refresher in the poop trays. It's similar to kitty litter. In fact, I use a kitty litter scoop from the Dollar Tree to remove the poop every day or two. To remove the poop from both Eglu Cube coop takes a leisurely 6 minutes; yes, I've timed it. I much prefer the coop attached to a walk-in run than I do chicken tractor. First, I like sitting and interacting with my flock. Second, the walk-in run provides more space for the chickens.
We love our Omlet. You’re telling the truth. I clean it daily and it takes me 15-20 minutes and I’m 70 years old! We have made our location permanent and added 20 by 20 run to it. We live in the mtns of NC and moving the Omlet was hard for me.
Awe it looks so good and I'm so happy for you and your chickens. I love all the extra safe room you made for them 😊
OMG! I absolutely LOVE Outer Chickenlandia! You're my chicken hero, Dalia!
Aww thank you!
One suggestion, move the coop and the table into the center of the new area or you will find getaways over the fence.
I believe she has netting over the entire run, the entire thing. They'll be no getaways. :D
She's got netting over the top.🙂
I have an Omlet. I love it, plus, their customer service is the best, hands down, that I’ve ever dealt With. They are totally the best!! I bought extra water/food containers so I can just switch them out when I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to clean them. Raccoons are all over in my area. I never have to worry about anything because this chicken coop keeps my girls nice and safe. Love it love it love it!!
Yay!!
I have a lot of CRAZY CHICKEN LADY SIGNS UP IN MY COOP AND RUN AREA!! 😂❤ LOL
Bless your lil' heart!! 🐔❤🐔
❤️🐔❤️🥰
Love the UFO hovering over Outer Chickenlandia! My husband noticed it right away! He also is a big fan of Space and UFO's. Love your channel!
🛸🛸🛸👽🐔❤️
I thank you for all the help your channel and book has provided.
I have saved many birds. Egg bound , sick chicks, wry neck , on and on. Your book is this year’s Christmas gift to all my chicken friends.
Long love Chickenlandia
Awww thank YOU so much!! I really appreciate that. ❤️
My chicken coop is FRIENDS themed lol purple coop with yellow doors and so far one yellow window. then of course a nice big handmade Central Peck window. Then a little sign above the purple and yellow nesting boxes that says "Could there BE anymore eggs?" I call it the Poultry Palace though lol
Nice!
I'm so glad you dedicated outer chickenlandia to Phillippe.❤❤
He’s still there chasing me in spirit. ❤️❤️❤️
Don't feel bad about selling that Omlet coop. Just think of the great intro into chicken keeping it gave yet another person!
🥰
You are adorable! and your new yard is out of this world!
Pun intended?
I’m so happy to see you love Omlet too!!! My first coop & I LOVE it as do my two Bard Rocks (Fiona & Holly) & my two Buff Orpington’s (Buffy & Amelia).
It’s a really great company with fantastic products.
Hello Dalia (I hope I spelled your name correctly.) I enjoyed your video and seeing how much you enjoyed your new Outer Chickenlandia. 😊
I really want one of those Eglus but we have four Australorps and two not-bantam Brahmas (still growing), room for only one coop and... I'm thinking that's not the fit. (If anyone there sees this, XL pls? 😂)
LOL loving Outer Chickenlandia. I used to live in B'ham (my heart, I miss it soooo) and that, it's perfect. Absolutely perfect. I love it for you, I love it there, and in general.❤
I have an Omlet coop !love love 😍 it!
have a good day
I love it! What lucky chickens you have!
Those are lucky chickens and ducks ! Madame President always provides 💕
We have 2 different Omlet coops and they are great! We also have a run and all the various accessories. The assembly instructions could be better but at least they have videos online. We aspire to one day have a chicken yard as glorious as Outer Chickenlandia 😊
❤️❤️❤️
I FREAKING LOVE IT!!🐓🦆🦃🐥🐤🐣
lol thank you!!!! ❤️
I love my Omlet! I have the Go Up, and it's been grand for my two girls...and me, I chicken newbie!
hello from kenya .i love how much you enjoy educating us about chickens while also making us laugh.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looks great!! The ducks have a lot to say 🦆
They always do 😂
😂 quack quack😂
I love tradtional decorating. So my girls have a "bougie" coop! Chandelier and all❤
Woohoo!!! You are so fortunate to be given an Eglu!
Everyone on a group site raked me over the coals for having one.
Yes, I can only have 6 hens. I’m still giving away eggs and it’s winter!
My hubs got me an Eglu as a gift and I like it but we had to add the pen. Kaching, kaching.
And, I still want a yard like yours so I don’t have to free range several days a week.
Moving what we have will be difficult. It’s staying in one place for the winter.
Yes, it takes daily cleaning of the tray to keep moisture down, I had an issue with frostbitten combs just tossing the bedding and adding zeolite so I scoop poop once a day and add more bedding. Then, wipe the roosting rack and inside walls. Takes 10 minutes and no more comb issues.
I use Force of Nature and it’s disinfected, too.
I take the perch rack out and really clean that top and bottom once a month.
No issues with mites and mice!
Only my first year with it but it seems to be working okay.
I STILL WANT A CHICKEN YARD!!
Love you, Dalia!! Got your book!!
How wonderful it is to see you looking so happy. Outer Chickenlandia, 🐔🍗, looks great. Great imagination. And theses omlet coops look great. Morgan Gold has one and I love it. I even went into the Internet to search for it but I am in Germany and I not the best doing web-searches. So I just dream and now, I can watch your chickens use it. No intergalatic passport needed?
Haha no just a valid Chickenlandia drivers license or other official ID. 😂❤️🛸🐔
I had a rough day at work and needed to see your happy self, Dahlia. You always delight me! Love your new Outer Chickenlandia! Just think…now you have more room for more chickens!
Hahaha don’t tempt me! 😂❤️
Chicken Math happens!
Beautiful new sign 🌺
Love it! What a great place to peck and scratch!
I've had an Omelet door for 2years and I just love it. I'm designing a new coop for next year so I can get more hens. You're always such an inspiration Dahlia!! Thank you for your video's!
My coop is undecorated😭but you have inspired me! We are deep in snow right now but come spring I'm going all in! Thanks for sharing!
Do it!!!
WoW! Omlet really hooked you up and that is amazing! I have one of their larger coops as well as a larger coop that we had made and the Omlet coop has been flawless. We also have the automatic doors on both coops and they are so easy to work and so reliable and completely game changing. Plus the batteries only need to be changed like 2x a year and even less if you don't have the coop light! The only times I have had problems were totally my fault 🤦♀️ I am so glad they sponsored you and I agree you HAVE really made it when you get their attention! 👏
I have been watching you for years and I love your videos and your bubbly, infectious, joyful personality and sweet vulnerability. I wish I lived closer so we could be chicken friends 😂 Thank you for the continued friendly backyard chicken education!
You're so funny and thank you for all the information thank you God bless you 🙏
We are moving to a new house soon and the chickens are gonna have a lot more space. Right now we are at a temporary home so their step is all temp. I’m excited to have a new coop built and a larger run to decorate
Your helping so many chickens have a great life
Hi Dalia! I live in northern New Brunswick Canada and I have the Eglu cube coop with the long run. I am a first time chicken tender of 6 hens. I researched for months for a coop that was not only suitable for my hens but for me as well. I work full time and wanted something easy to clean and maintain. I searched and searched and kept coming back to the Eglu coop. It’s been up and running since last May and I have not one bad thing to say about it. It sits stationary for the winter but in the summer, I move the run every week so my chickens get fresh grass and they love their little home. It was a large investment but totally worth it. I too have had zero issues with mites or lice. My next investment will be the automatic door. BTW I love your new sign with Philippe on it. So cute! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Omlet coops are awesome! CONGRATS!🥳That is a huge deal! I have used them for years and all of roos and chickens love them, even the bantams. You are right about it being super easy to clean. I have had lots of wooden coops in the past and there really is no comparison simply because of the ease of cleaning. I love the look of wooden coops but the ability to clean fast hands down outweighs the look of the coop! Happy for you and the chickens! ❤
Thank you so much!
Agreed! The ease of cleaning Omlet coops is the BEST. And no mites, lice to contend with. While wooden coops can be "cute," I'll take the practicality of an Omlet coop every time. (I am having to build a wooden coop for my small 4 ft. x 8 ft. run that is intended for isolating chickens when necessary.)
Love!!!!
Fantastic! All of your Babies LOVE it! The duck was standing to greet everyone as they deboarded to tell them all about the new Galaxy City--Outer Chickenlandia!! Love what you did with the interior decorations! Elon Musk may be featuring you on his next launch!
Hahaha I’m fairly certain he’s an alien! 👽🛸🐔❤️
Absolutely! Can't grow those in our back yards! Most autistics are!
LOVE YOUR SETUP‼️‼️‼️ 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE THE OMELET COOP! I want one!!
They are truly awesome!
@@WelcometoChickenlandia I'm telling Santa that's what I want!🎅🐤
Cute
I went from prepper to homesteader, so my theme is the Chicken bunker 😂. Here at Chicken sandwich landia we are still working on the chicken bunker, it will probably have the most expensive sustainable watering system on RUclips😂
If things keep going the way they are I may have to start digging as well! 🐔❤️😂
@WelcometoChickenlandia My coop isn't underground, my coop is a steel reinforced block and concrete elevated coop designed to stand up to a catastrophic hurricane, the coop is also designed to help chickens stay alive during the aftermath of a natural disaster, the coop has solar to provide power to lights, fan, automatic chicken door, and pumping system for rain harvesting system that will store 350 gallons of renewable water, no videos on how to keep chickens during a natural disaster.
We LOVE our 2 Eglu Coops with attached runs! They have improved the lower run grate spacing. I am very glad that they did as we had an issue with the old spacing and have since covered our entire run area with hardware cloth as a fox was able to get his paw in between the grate and severely injure one of our girls. That being said we still LOVE our Eglu and plan to get a 3rd one next year to grow our flock. They are so easy to move and cleaning is a breeze. We also have the automatic door opener and that is amazing. The company is very easy to work with and have been very very helpful with any questions or inquires. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. My only wish is that they would make a larger coop for more girls, that would make my heart sing and my flock grow even more! LOL Thank you for featuring them on your channel. What a fun new run area, Your flock sure is spoiled! ♥
I am so with you on the larger coop. I wish I could have a huge Omlet coop haha. The Omlet Dome? 😂❤️🐔
I love it!! I’ve wanted an Omlet coop for years but I just can’t afford it. This video gives me hope that one day I’ll have a dream space for my babies!!
Every video I watch I learn so many new things, I got eight chicks about a week ago and they live an amazing life thanks to your tips! I'm glad Philipe still gets to enjoy the new outer chickenlandia. Your coop and run look amazing! Merry Christmas to you and your family (including your feathered babies!)
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you as well! ❤️
Love the new addition to the yard😊
So cool. Love it.
You are such a joy to watch and the chickens are as cool as mine are. Because of YOUR tips, my flock has gained weight, are more playful, and they love love love what I have been able to do for them. The eggs even taste a lot better and are a bit larger than before. Thank you thank you thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours indeed.
Thank you so much!
Love this! I have two omlet coops I’m not currently using. If they had them snake proof it would be great. I’ve lost several chicks and a rooster inside an omlet coop to snakes, the ones people said were “harmless”.
I love it!
Love Chickenlandia!
can't particularly put to words why, but i really enjoyed this episode.
Your Outerlandia is awesome! How do you keep green grass with all your chickens, ducks ect? What kinds of grass seed are you using? Winter grass? That Omelet is amazing. A little pricey but it's amazing. I will have to save up for the one you have.
I need to know as well. I’m here in Louisiana and the grass under the chickens is nonexistent.
Honestly the grass in my run is a bit of a miracle! I think I just have a lot of chickens that aren’t great at foraging lol. Lots of special needs and older gals. And many that are very tiny. I was sure they would completely destroy every bit of grass but so far so good! The grass was there when I moved here so idk what kind it is!
My coop out back matches my house. I think it is very cute.
I have the same Omlet Cube too! We got it back in June as temporary coop until we built the big coop. I moved the Omlet Cube around to new grass every day and the girls were very happy in it. The big coop is now built but I have bully girl in jail back in the Omlet Cube so it is still serving a purpose! Thanks for all your advice and help during my chicken journey :) Congrats on OuterChickenlandia
This is so inspiring!! You made such a cool area for them!
Where did you get that string of colorful flags? Love your new sign, you make it so beautiful
I don't decorate my Omlet Eglu Cube coops, but my Omlet 6 ft. x 18 ft. walk-in run I've personalized a good bit:
1. I've zip tied bamboo to the short end of the run which faces west. The bamboo provides shade from the hot afternoon summer sun. Although the run is in my backyard, I have a road (and an elementary school playground) behind my house meaning I have essentially 2 front yards. The bamboo is very natural looking and "hides" the run from passersby. (There's an ever-expanding stand of bamboo just 2 yards south of me, so I have access to lots of bamboo!)
2. Potted plants & wind chimes: I hang both from the heftier frames that are above the run. By running a long bamboo stick from one side of the run to the other. I hang potted plants the part of the bamboo sticks that protrude beyond the frame of the run. I have visions of more potted plants, especially beneficial herbs. By hanging them, the chickens can't get too them. Still when I want to feed them herbs, I could give them a pot to devour while more hanging pots are growing more herbs.
3. Maggot bucket: This might not qualify as "decorating," but I created a maggot bucket from a plastic coffee container. (On RUclips search for "maggot bucket" and you'll see what I mean.)
4. Cinder blocks: I run 4x4s through cinder blocks to create an elevated "balance beam". The chickens have no problem balancing and walking on it, but the term is a good visual descriptor. Also, the chickens can sharpen their beaks my rubbing their beaks on the cinder blocks.
5. Nesting boxes: Each Omlet Eglu Cube has a LARGE nesting box; easily fits 2 standard size hens. With 10 laying hens, I decided to repurpose 2 kitty litter boxes (by Tidy Cats) into DIY nesting boxes. Every day 1-2 eggs are laid in one of them. Guess the other is decorative only! 😂
6. "Rescued" a large dog igloo from someone's trash. It provides an excellent area of protection from inclement weather.
7. I have a chair so I can sit with my flock. I lean it against the side of the run so poop doesn't land where I sit!
8. I made a DIY feeder from a translucent storage box. It's anchored to part of the "balance beam" mentioned in #4. It can hold a 50 lbs. bag of feed. Add a couple of extra waterers, and I feel comfortable leaving my flock for 2-4 days without anyone checking on them. Longer than that, I want someone to clean the poop trays (a real breeze with the Omlet coops) and to collect the eggs.
❤ it's BEAUTIFUL ❤️ CONGRATS!!
You have such a wonderful set up and seem such a caring person! Also I was wondering whether you had ever thought about rescuing battery hens or other commercial hens??
In spring of 2020 we got our chickens as days old chicks and my hubby found Omlet coops and we ordered one, the cube, and we started with 4 chicks and a month later got 3 more. Well by the time that the cold weather started they were all about 5-6 months old and we had gotten a 9x6 foot run for them and they loved it. But they attacked and killed my Bok-Bok. (They were all jealous that she was my favorite). So now we had 6 chickens. We decided they needed more room so we bought additional pieces and added 3x9 so now we had a 9x9 run. Last year my hubby got a dog kennel that was 10x15 and built them a big coop. This year two more of my girls died. Now im back to 4. Im thinking that unless we get more in the spring I might just rebuild the omlet run and put them back in the Omlet coop. Our chickens are full sized chickens so with 6 the cube was a bit small for them but with 4 i think thats a good size and we have the winter insulated wrap so even here in the North East they will probably stay warmer easier. My next goal is to find them a Christmas tree to add a bit of enrichment for them.
Something else I think about. When they were in the Omlet coop we had some mice now and again but this year we have RATS in our yard and they are always getting into the run. They dug tunnels under our skirting and have made themselves at home. Trying to find ways of getting rid of them but there are so many people with chickens in my neighborhood that I dont know how to get them out and gone for good! I will say in the spring i will plant mint all over the place.
Oh I’m so sorry about the rats. You might consider adopting a cat to live with your chickens (as long as they’re large fowl and not bantams). And make extra sure not to leave food around over night. ❤️
@@WelcometoChickenlandia thank you! We have begun to bring the food out of the run and put it in a steel garbage pail where we keep the food and snacks etc. I wish we could have a cat to chase the rats but we live in a very busy road and I couldn’t take the chance it would get hit by a car. We have some yard clean up we need to do as well to discourage the little buggars and in the spring we are going to dig down 2-3 feet next to the run and place sheet metal and encase the whole thing in hardware cloth. I was also thinking of adding the Omlet run to the end of the dog run to limit the space available for rodents to get into the run as the dog run has a sizable space in the door area. The other idea was to remove the dog run and just build a structure that we can also winterize easier and put a solid roof on but we may need to hire someone as I recently had spinal surgery and will be limited for a year and my hubby is also looking at possible surgery in his near future. Uggh lol. I appreciate your ideas with much thanks. Also I love your channel. You always have such good ideas and are very real about what it’s like to be a chicken parent. Happiest of Holiday’s to you and yours.
Love your channel I have three chicks an new to the chicken thing that looks like a big play area so cute love it
Outter chickenlandia Needs a UFO feeder! 😊❤ wouldn't That be cool?
I Love what youve done! ❤ fantastic! 👍👍👍👍👍
🛸🛸🛸
I love it, looks so good!
Love your run area its so cool
I love it! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Looks great Dalia!!! ❤🛸👽 🐓
What about heat and cold in the plastic coop? Seems like it would be extreme in both circumstances.
Great a/v
Wow love both of your signs can you post the link never could find it
Look up Markley Farms on Instagram! 🤩
How many chickens/ ducks do you have total and how big is your 1st run and outter run?
I love what you did with all of that and that would be a dream of mine to do something similar for my run. I’m trying to plan the run out. So trying to figure out size, etc. we have a lot of land so I’d like mine huge! 😃
Your my favorite ❤
Dalia, do you think it would be stressful for chickens to hear a fox digging and scratching around their coop at night? I'm seriously considering getting four chickens and no expense will be spared in predator proofing their coop, run and garden, but I know there are foxes and this is truly the one issue i'm struggling with...! Do predators keep trying to get in?
If the foxes can’t get in, they will give up after a while. The chickens shouldn’t be super bothered by it as long as it’s at night and the fox never gets in! ❤️
@@WelcometoChickenlandia Oh that's great news - thanks very much for replying Dalia.
Can you make video on treating limping chicken. !!! I bought a very expensive Cockerel last month and last morning i saw he was limping and how should i treat him now? Please Help!!!
How do you get grass to grow. My 'Chickentown' has no grass.
I feel like it’s a miracle. I think it’s because I just have so many special needs chickens that don’t forage well!
How much is an omlet how can i get one or more
Dalia, I'm curious if you have a problem with snaring wild birds in the aviary netting? I'm contemplating using it, but somebody said I would have to watch for birds getting tangled in it.
No, I’ve only ever had one deceased bird on the netting and she was not stuck in it so I’m not sure what happened. Perhaps she was dropped by a hawk or something. I believe it’s advertised as “bird safe” if I’m remembering correctly.
@@WelcometoChickenlandia THANK YOU!
