In this video, we're showing you everything you need to consider before bringing your chicks home, including how to set up a brood coop and how to properly handle the chicks once they arrive.

    Good thing it says "Baby Chicks" on the boxes, i never would have guessed what was in there... ha ha ha. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    We used to raise chickens when I was a kid. None of them ended up cooked and on our table. Instead, they all ended up with names and some of them lived 20 ish years 😂

    As someone whos raised a few batches of birds you did a thorough job. Only thing i would add is the heat lamps have potential to be a fire hazard and as a cautious person i would secure them with wire not twine. Not only could you lose all your birds but also the building. Be well.

    Don’t get discouraged if a few die. Natural selection or set up needs improvement. I get 35 chicks and usually loose 1or 2 within the 1st few weeks. Occasionally none. Happy farming everyone 👋

    Your concern and kindness for these 'meat' birds has convinced me that I can raise them as well as layers! Thank you! You are the best channel I've ever found to get started with homesteading! :)

    We got our meat chick last week and my wife's ready to get rid of them. We got about 100. She just got finished saying "No one has that many."

    I just watched this for entertainment. This felt like a documentary almost, the guy in the video (didn’t catch his name) he is very good at showing and teaching in a simple manner. This makes it real interesting, good work!

    my cat really started looking around trying to find the birds when they were chirping as you were picking them up from the P.O.!

    you should run the ropes for the lights to the outside so that you can adjust them without stepping inside!

    Great video, it reminds me of my childhood. My dad had a chicken farm when I was little, many of childhood photos were basically me eating fried chickens. I miss playing with the chicks.

    That hatchery you deal with is obviously a good company. Not many places will add in a few extras just in case. Fantastic information. I was considering getting a handful of chickens (maybe 15 - 20), but this video made me realize how woefully unprepared I am for this.
