Hey Justin I was just rewatching The Earthing Movie and it talked about how grounding can reduce cardiovascular inflammation! I know Rebekah has said yall have seen it, I notice you don't go barefoot often... maybe something to try 😊 we all want you healthy and happy! ❤
I hope you get this message.....Is about the wood chips....do I need to wait to dry a bit or can be used right the way????Thank you so much....Minimnum 6 chicks in Ohio area I leave....I LOVE THEM
I also recommend getting pullets. They are around 18 weeks old, no need for all of the hassle of chicks (if one sees it as a hassle that is) and they start laying in a week to 3 weeks!....question for you though...would you recommend the magic juice for pullets when we first bring them home?
Thanks ive been following along for a while we got rabbits because we couldn't get chickens but guess what we are allowed so i kinda went birdy hubby says broody lol Our 3 meat chickens went to frezor camp already thanks for the pointers We have 5 rir isa brown cross hens that came to me fertile We hatched one eggs out of 9 but trying again We got 5 easter egger friends for our hatchling lol It needed friends lol We got two Dominique hens young not laying just yet but soon two legbar isbar mix 1 silky lol she was getting picked on where she lived before but not now And 3 copper Maran chicks and 7 other easter eggers Oh ya a breeding pair of heritage turkeys lol Thanks kids for being a great influence:)
We want to get chickens soon. We plan a very small flock of 5 or 6 primarily for eggs first in a coup in our garden. I would also like to build a chicken tractor to move them around our property but the grass goes brown here very early in the season. Will this be ok to run the chicken tractor on or should I avoid brown grass areas. Thank you.
Looks more complicated than necessary, imo. I've had success with just the following: *Up to 4 wks:* 1 Grow box/container + a 60W incandescent light (to keep them warm) 2. Refresh their water daily (clean the container weekly) 3. Just starter/grower feed (no need for any kind of risky fermented feed) *After 4 wks:* 4. Access to grower feed, chicken scratch, compost bugs+worms, & clover/grass 5. Small grit & crushed sea shells for calcium *If/when they appear a bit sickly* (which can happen once or twice a year), I give them medicated grower feed (which contains Amprolium which is a coccidiostat and aids in coccidiosis prevention during the first few critical weeks. Older chicks and adult hens are generally able to fight the bacteria off once their immune systems have developed--but, I've found it helps older hens too, so I mix it with the chicken scratch for a few days & all is right again with the chickens in a few days. *That's it!* I don't do anything else & I've never lost a chick/hen. Also, most of my hens (Rhode Island Reds) lay an egg each day (ocassionally skipping a day, when molting, or when it becomes very cold)--but then I live in Houston, so the temps rarely affect egg laying production. Chickens are the best compost turners that you will never have to pay to make fantastic garden soil for free! They will turn your compost every day searching for bugs, grubs, & worm that are great for their health & free food that you don't have to pay for! Oh..and I *sifted dry clay soil* with fine aluminum window screen to make a nice powdery *clay dust bath for them* . I put that under a 4-post lean to with a tarp cover to prevent the rain from wetting it so that it is nice, dry, & loose any time they want to flap around in it
my best firend lost his leg due to bare feet around farm animals. he picked up a germ an infection in his bone. so i wonder about your bare feet, not that i know anything.
I'm blocked from the comments from something I said which I can't remember what it was so must not have been too important but it must have been important to you to block me from the comments 😂
Henry smiled!!! ☺️ I'm overjoyed. You guys are a blessing!
I wasn't expecting a dinosaur in with the chicks but one of Mr. Browns shoes would seem completely normal. 🙂
Time for rooster stew...lol
Loved when Henry smiled and stuck out his tongue so so cute...
Seriously, Gideon is FANTASTIC! Gotta love that little guy! He reminds me of my James😊
Blessings to you All. Be safe and loved.
What a precious baby Henry is!!!
We are working with the kids.... Sweet daddy, Bless you
Henry in the 🛺 was so cute 😂😍
Daddy time - - its needed. Good for dad, good for baby, also good for mum !!
17:20 Henry's expression when the cart starts rolling! I don't think he trusts the driver lol
I love waiting on these videos. I can not wait until I move to the country that way I can apply all I have learned.
Farmer Henry stole the show!
Yayyyyyy couldn’t wait to see y’all lol hi Rhodes Family 👏🏾
Little Henry is so cute 😋💖
I love how there's a dinosaur in the brooder. Lol
Great job Justin you broke it down like a champ
Everyone had something to add to your video today. 😂
Thank you Justin 🙌
Am about to Venture into this...Glad You showing this process.
Thanks for the information. I really enjoy these videos.
Great tips, thanks. Thinking about getting a few, and this is very helpful!
Please put the links Justin.
That's a pretty cool noise maker Mr. Brown has.
Precious Henry!
Aw Mr. Brown! Hey well done on the patience, Justin. That wasn’t easy.
Baby Henry just make me smile. #babyfever
Unfortunately I won't be able to watch you Sunday I really want to watch it. But I will be driving from North Missouri to Butte Montana. Very sad 😭
I really love that goose
I think Josiah is about to have a growth spurt. 4 inches this year.

Why fully depend on external hatcheries? Better to always have capacity to breed/incubate on-farm?
I hope you get this message.....Is about the wood chips....do I need to wait to dry a bit or can be used right the way????Thank you so much....Minimnum 6 chicks in Ohio area I leave....I LOVE THEM
I think Henry is going to look like Josiah 👍
Thanks for sharing
Love the “holy squat love” 🙂
Josiah had that look of, “That’s ok, Dad. I can take him.” 😉
Looks like the ride in the little car shook a burp out of him.
What about kelp? I know you mentioned it in another video and can't remember which one.
how do you keep the racoons out of the chicken pen will the goose do it? One just ate my rooster.
I also recommend getting pullets. They are around 18 weeks old, no need for all of the hassle of chicks (if one sees it as a hassle that is) and they start laying in a week to 3 weeks!....question for you though...would you recommend the magic juice for pullets when we first bring them home?
Thanks ive been following along for a while we got rabbits because we couldn't get chickens but guess what we are allowed so i kinda went birdy hubby says broody lol

Justin, how large is your front yard chicken run?
What will work to clean
poppy but for the chicks so that I don't have to clean it to make my life easier? Does Grass work?
How many feet do you need for baby dinosaur?
I like the dinosaur in there...lol
Blessings to all!
Hi Henry!
What breed are they? They look cool 😎
Justin, how large is your front yard chicken coop?
I meant to say the run not coop
Trying to figure out why there are no comments.
Great video
Why is there a dinasor in with the chicks?

Will the adult chickens hurt the young chicks? At what age can we introduce the younglings with the adults?
my best firend lost his leg due to bare feet around farm animals.
he picked up a germ an infection in his bone.
so i wonder about your bare feet, not that i know anything.

Hello Bro
I'm blocked from the comments from something I said which I can't remember what it was so must not have been too important but it must have been important to you to block me from the comments 😂
I have to say Justin, your record with chickens is not good. Love you guys, but I wouldn't sell you live chickens.
We have 3 black sex links and get like 20 a week. We are swimming in eggs 😅
I would rather see you taking good care of your baby than having you explain chickens
