Great video on chickens. We've had chickens about 5 years and everything you shared was spot on.
Cheers 👍 Good to hear we’re not giving out bad advice, certainly a little worried as we’re still very much newbies with only a few years experience!
Thank you for this very informative video! a lot for me to think about! Its shot beautifully btw! not counting the graphic images hehe
Glad it helped 👍
Always happy to help, feel free to text us with chicken queries anytime 😂
Great Vlog 😊 thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you 👍
When you say despatch the cockerel how did you do it ? I have chickens six weeks old and think I have a cockerel, if this happens how to despatch ?
If you have one cockerel it’s not necessarily a bad thing as he will protect the hens but atm I understand that it’s also another mouth to feed that you may not need. We used the cone method as from the research we did, it seemed most humane. Check out Justin Rhodes videos, unless he has removed them, his show the most that you can get away with on RUclips. It goes without saying but I will anyway, do your own research, make your own choices and be confident before dispatching. Enjoy your chickens 😊
My way of solving the rodent problem... A lovely dose of lead poisoning from a .177 air pellet to a rats head ! It would be like a tin of peaches smashing into a persons head. A sub 12 foot pound PCP air rifle will give hours of fun, extremely quiet and solves the rodent issues
