    I heard that you had to be careful about using sand. What kind did you use. Thank you. I loved your silkies

    • @HeadFamilyFarm
      @HeadFamilyFarm  Год назад

      Ours is course construction sand. There’s a small risk of crop impaction if they’re eating sand along with their feed, but we have not had any issues.

  • @TinyHoovesRanch
    @TinyHoovesRanch Год назад +1

    Nice job on the coop I also am thinking if changing out my run also same substance as yours was to sand we live in northern wisconsin so not sure how the sand will do in cold weather im sure fine yours looks very nice

    • @HeadFamilyFarm
      @HeadFamilyFarm  Год назад +1

      Hi! Thank you, sand won’t hold or generate any heat but the need for that would depend on your coop setup. It’s been wonderful so far!

    Do you have an update how you feel now about the sand bedding? Does it clean up as easily as you thought? What kind of sand did you use?

    • @HeadFamilyFarm
      @HeadFamilyFarm  4 месяца назад

      It does clean up well, but it needs to remain completely dry to stay easy maintenance. If it gets wet it’s as good as hard ground.

  • @patriciabates3017
    @patriciabates3017 Год назад +1

    Where did you find the cones for your buckets…such a great idea

    • @HeadFamilyFarm
      @HeadFamilyFarm  Год назад

      Amazon! They’re dock piling caps. If you have a Marine store near you they may have them.

    Hope you guys are doing well miss seeing y'all, Question...when do I need to switch my chickens from grower feed to layer feed .... everyone has a different opinion in my research so was wondering if you could tell me what you would do? Please and thank you.. Have a blessed day.

    • @HeadFamilyFarm
      @HeadFamilyFarm  Год назад

      Hi Lorie, 5 and a half to 6 months. It is ok to wait until you see the first egg to switch them but by 6 months most breeds are ready to start laying.

    I'm surprised that you didn't wear a mask cleaning the chicken coop. That's a dusty, stinky jobs. Been there done that.

  • @RockinGFarm
    @RockinGFarm Год назад +1

    I have heard of people using used coffee grounds. What are your thoughts on that as bedding?

    • @HeadFamilyFarm
      @HeadFamilyFarm  Год назад +2

      I’ve used it before when brooding chicks and for some of my bantams. As soon as it gets wet it stains no matter what it says on the bag. I have a funny story about using some with baby ducks…they brewed their own coffee in the waterer in the first 5 minutes 😅
      It smells nice but it’s not an effective bedding.

      Yes, this coop is on a large concrete slab.
