It seems silly to those of us raising poultry that you have to explain the difference between a hen and a rooster, but the number of times basic questions like that come up in new chicken groups is pretty shocking. Thanks for this! Very informative!
Folks just a word to the wise. Make sure that your heat lamp has a ceramic socket that is rated for the wattage of the heat lamp bulb you are using. Avoid any lamp with a plastic socket they are not designed for 150 watt heat lamp bulbs. They will melt and become a fire hazard.
Thank you so very much. We have 22 hatching eggs in our incubator right now, we are on day 8… I’ve been binge watching your videos, learning all I can. Thanks again for all Your help ❤️💕🙏🏼
I've had chickens for about eight years now. I highly recommend them. I started out with three and now I have 15 :-) I live right in the middle of town.
Awesome You are blessed I am having 3 Easter eggers 3 weeks old now. 😃 Sadly when you have a nosy inhuman screwed up neighbor 🙁 And the same president for your community you living in just is horrible. First 3 buff Orbington, I had to give away, or I would have to pay a fine of 20$ each week until I put them away 😢 just started to lay eggs. I have a vinyl white fence and a hen house and a fenced in chicken run 10 ft x10 ft My back yard 70 ft x 50 ft My neighbor is not even in her garden once in a blue moon. We got a New President and and he let me have chicken yeah and we looked up the city rules we aloud to have chickens,no Rooster fenced in. Finally Blessings to all chicken lovers
Nice video. One point: Rocks in the water.....I think it's more to keep them dry and warm than actually drowning.....if they get wet and cold, they die.
Never raised chickens before but we're gonna try this year. Thanks for breaking it down to understandable amounts of info. I feel like we can do this and do it well. Our neighbors want in as well. Thanks again.
Chuck as you know I've been watching you awhile now. I just hatched my first batch of chicks. Worked well I need to improve hatch rate but hatched them Friday and Saturday. Sold all but 3 today. Thanks for all the advise
I'm in East Texas and the hawks here are big enough to get a full grown hen turkey. I have the hard cloth covered run, same electric netting as you, plus hardwire on the ground around my coop and run. I want to feed us, not the local wildlife!
I've got issues with my birds eating their eggs...at least the big birds..the bantams have a small opening so the big birds can't fit in and get after the eggs...it's my Rhode island reds that are the culprit..
I have Rhoad island reds strictly for Eggs..i look at it this if you go into a grocery store and look at the chicken meat in the meat department you won't find one Rhode Island red used for meat..
I was just saying to a friend of mine that there’s gonna be people out there that will pay thousands for a coop, $30ea for pullets, and $18 a bag for premium feed, $35 a bag for “treats” and then brag that they’re saving money on eggs…. And at the end of the year, give away the coop when they figure out that owning hens doesn’t fit they’re “lifestyle”
I keep a few hens here in the UK. Never add less than two new hens. Keep them separated but with sight of each other for 4-5 days then let them mix under supervision for 2-3 days. Make sure they have plenty of room to avoid confrontation. There will be fights until they sort out the new pecking order but eventually they will all go in to roost together. The newbies usually go in last.
I just found your channel, and, WOW! This post is a wonderful summary of chicken raising and made getting started seem alot more doable! We recently moved onto 10 acres and are brand new to the homesteading life. Getting chickens is one of the first things we want to do. Again, thank you for this most helpful video!
Wish I could like this post 100X. This is the most wonderful detailed summary I've heard. Roosters are male. Pullets are female. That's my kind of chicken tutorial 🤣🤣
I got my chicks in the spring last year (2022). I can't tell you how much fun and rewarding they are. The thing that surprised me the most was their assertive personalities. They remind me of the mean girls in Jr High, lol. They're hormonal and downright rotten at times. Also, conniving, smart, and loads of fun when they chase each other around the yard when one gets a tasty worm. Once they got a hold of a dead mouse. The chase-the-chicken game was on. There were 10 of them chasing the lead. When she dropped it, another would swoop in and run with it. You wouldn't believe how athletic they are, turning tight corners, jumping through the grapevine fencing, dodging through the raspberry canes, over the bench. I was trying to keep up to get the mouse before the winner ate it for fear it might have died from poison, lest they poison themselves. I ran so hard, laughing all the way. It was therapeutic. 😂 I did finally get the carcass, and they were disappointed. They soon forgot it and went back to scratching for bugs. There's never a dull moment with chickens. They'll outsmart you and keep you on your toes.
Those that don't know where ther food comes from will spend way to much to raise them . Most of these people will have $ 40.00 hens at 6 months . And their eggs will cost them about $ 8.00 doz. I've been raising chickens nearly 50 yrs . You give good information. I don't let anyone on my farm .
Question please. We are remodeling a large coop that the previous owner had. It didnt have predator proofing. It was mainly chicken wire 😢 and a bear got in and killed her hens. It has a dirt floor and Im worried about disease. What can be done to make sure our chicks will be ok? Thank you! Bear was about 4 yrs ago. We are putting in hardware wire, cameras lights etc. Just worried about disease in soil
Hey Chuck just wanted to say thanks for the always great content! Been following your channel for some time now. You and a few other channels have inspired me to grow my small farm and try to make it into a business. You have also inspired me to start my own channel thanks again God Bless!
Great video, I'm expecting 10 baby Wyandots tomorrow 3-10-23 from Cackle Hatchery I ordered through the local Farm and Fleet. My brooder is ready and the coop and run are almost finished. I'm excited !!!!
I got 16 Wyandottes from Cackle 22 September of 2022. All arrived alive. One took about two weeks to get up and around, and she is at the bottom of the peck order. They began laying 3 March 2023. Wyandottes here in SW Missouri tend to suffer in the heat. Mine panted all summer. I Kept frozen liters in their waterers. They do fine in the winter, though. Best wishes.
If you wont to eat meat you better order 100 hens Asap Folks it’s going to get terrible soon Chickens are very very easy to raise and care for Order chicks now or you may not get any period
Neighbor's two pitbulls broke into my coop and killed ALL my chickens. Had them since 2016. They were laying hens. They were wyandottes and olive eggers. Replacements are had to find, every place I checked is sold out.
I've been contemplating getting chickens for over a year now. Now more than ever because of the price and availability of eggs of course. Over this time I've watched so many videos and have a tremendous Playlist. This by far is the best video made on beginning your chicken journey. Right to the point, no fluff. Explained in detail and easily understood. All you need to know is in this video. Thank you for this video, it's highly appreciated it!
Thank you! Finally talking my spouse into chickens. Took three years! I have learned a lot but your info on the nesting boxes explained why we have an actual door in our small hen house to the nesting boxes. I have found no one before to explain that. God bless you!! We newbies need to learn a lot!
Tell you this sir, I appreciate you doing this video. I was literally thinking about the fact that everything that needs to be known by normal people isn’t available. You, sir, are amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Yes, and when normal people look into chickens, they find them banned in many settings, and if you can have them, you're not allowed a rooster due to noise ordinance, when they ones that would complain, have duel exhaust or a Harley. Lol blast boom boom all day, or do target practice in their back yard, but you can't fertilize your eggs Roosters of my neighbors, only cock a doodle doo at sun up and dusk for a minute. I never hear it, I'm sleeping, they also make noise for perceived threat to the brood. Dogs do that too. And barky dogs are barky dogs. I know, we have one, she barks if anyone pulls up. Only way to quiet her is reward her for the warning. Lol the faster you do, the faster she stops. But compared to the noise a rooster might make, the rooster is better, at least you KNOW when they are going to go off.
@@candygarfield1479 I really don't get the dog thing. They're such a nuisance, and there's nothing pleasant about a barking dog. I have a bunch of hens but I'd love to have roosters.
@@morehn I don't know where your at, but up here they share roosters. Pass them in rotation. If someone complains, by the time it is looked into, rooster is gone. I was just thinking, it's not the noise, it's the ability to grow your brood I think they are trying to limit. I'm starting chickens In a few weeks, I'd like to think I can grab a rooster a couple times a year to replace them when it's time to process the older ones out? Isn't that how you do it? So you don't have to buy new birds every year? My neighbor has some bird last few years, I never heard before, couldn't figure out what is is,. But I think it's one of these birds he talks about in the video. The loud one. Lol. So I won't need one of those, that bird definately makes noise.. my woods wrap around their property, the second I start walking the trails, it goes off the whole time. Today I heard chickens over there, so I think they got some too. But they have had that other bird for at least as long as I've been here.
Thank you for the video...I like the roosting bar out from the nests with nests closed off...what time do you take that bar off from the front? like sun-up? then stays open thru the day...but cool idea for extra roosting area...how do you keep them warm in winter, I see the coop has slatted floor...do you straw it in winter? This is the first time I've watched your channel, so if its covered in another video can you add link? Thank you!
Static coop is fine. Grandpa and Grandma, 1908 & 1918, respectively, used these and they work just fine. Borrow anything from those who survived through the Great Depression and you know you’ve got something that works and is tested. Don’t over complicate things.
Great informative video thanks for your insight and taking the time to make it Yes you are correct about the ginneas nothing gets by them my uncle had 187 of them at one time on the farm
I can't even find a local farmer to sell me organic eggs & meat. I've been looking for a year. Anybody know a farmer near North/ East Florida, South/ East Georgia? Even the local meat market, doesn't sell local farm meats, it's just repackaged bulk chicken or beef from the box stores. --- Please ler me know, I fled Commiefornia for the Free State of Florida, and it's much more difficult out here, to meet up with farmers selling products. Thanks.
I've had chickens for years. Then got rid of them. Now I've built a new chicken coop/run. I'm looking for buff Orpington or Sapphire Gem chicks and can't find them anywhere sooner than July or August. Everyone is sold out. Lol So...I'm waiting.

Hi Sir from Hawaii, ? Will any hen lay edible eggs? We have an issue with chickens running wild. I would like to catch them for laying eggs, but not sure if it's safe to eat, lol. Please advise. Mahalo nui ( Thank you) Sandz
A rooster (or cock) is an adult male chicken; an immature male is a cockerel. A hen is an adult female chicken; an immature female is a pullet. A chick is a very young chicken of either sex.

Folks just a word to the wise. Make sure that your heat lamp has a ceramic socket that is rated for the wattage of the heat lamp bulb you are using. Avoid any lamp with a plastic socket they are not designed for 150 watt heat lamp bulbs. They will melt and become a fire hazard.
We choose to do Coturnix Quail after lots of research. I’m only one week in with my baby chicks but I’m super eggcited. No regrets (:

Good comprehensive video on raising some chickens!
Hello,
Are you not worried about the heat lamp being that close to your pine bedding and creating a fire hazard?
Is there a way to tell the difference between fertilized and unfertilized eggs?
Excellent video, thanks much…

Hello, we have winter, the temperature reaches 3 degrees and -4 degrees. Is it enough to bring them into the chicken house and close the windows?
Thank you,very informative 🐔
I love you video you give a lots of great information, thank you so much for sharing
Do you put the goose and guineas in the coop at night. Can predators get in the coop at night, how do you protect from that?
AWESOME VIDEO btw

Beautiful video 😇🥰
Have you hatched any of your own chicks and how did you get all those chickens
Ever found a black snake in one of your nesting boxes?
Sure have. They’ll eat some eggs.
Our local farm store had 2 shipments of chicks, ea. Sold out in 20 minutes, can't get any more.
That’s crazy!

Use lots of bedding. Wood chips are best. 12-18” of carbon material.
@@SheratonParkFarms Thank you so much!
I’m a Chicago city mouse. I want chickens. Forget this City living I enjoy Gods natural way to eat.
Don’t use cedar bedding either.
Do you have problems with Hawks taking your chickens. What do you to keep that from happening?
From time to time. We keep a guard goose in with them. That helps a bunch.
According to MSM, male chickens can produce eggs too.
