I've Been Putting This Off ALL SUMMER | Silkie Chickens | Part One
There is always something to do on the farm and this is one of the projects I was NOT looking forward to.
Birch Moon Farm is a small homestead located in the hills of southern Vermont. We decided in our mid fourties to make a simpler life and to be sustainable as possible. So we started with chickens, bred silkie chickens for awhile and have now added geese to our home.

Giggles at Iko's determination to keep trying to get inside the coop while you're trying to stir the shavings! 😄😄 That cart that you don't like would look cool up near the deck with some big colorful flower pots in it. Just a decoration idea 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love your videos even though I don't comment all of the time. Take care. Keep 'em coming.❤️🥰

Hey Doreen! Wasnt she so funny? Quite a determined little girl LOLOL That is a FANTASTIC idea for the cart!

Sophie is a doll baby. Oh so cute!

[@birchmoonfarm101]

Thank you! I agree!

When you ferment food, just make sure that the feed has about an inch of water above it. I've had success with that! I ferment a mix of scratch (whole grain) and gamebird crumble for my birds and they love it.

[@birchmoonfarm101]

Good to know! I will try that next :) Thank you!

[@annettemastenchickenlove]

My birds are so picky they would never touch fermented, picky picky 😂

[@birchmoonfarm101]

I was surprised mine did too! HAHAHA!

[@chickinnfarmer]

Your silkies are soo cute ☺️ I only have one with my flock of birds and she is adorable I am 15 and I love your videos and I have a RUclips channel too and I talk about chickens.😊🤗

[@birchmoonfarm101]

You are so kind! Thank you so much for watching! I wish I had had chickens when I was 15. It is such a great experience! And you now have a new subscriber! Me!

Have a question, I have several 8 week old male chicks, one of the male chicks is super aggressive and just us a little sh*t, my question is if there is a dominant roo, will the others settle down and not crow as much?

[@birchmoonfarm101]

Hi! There is a chance that what you have said could happen. But they are way too young to know yet. I have seen hatch mate roos figure out a heirarchy and one is the boss and the rest tow the line. :) You could also try to seperate the bully with another chick for a week or two and then put them back. Their whole pecking order has changed and they would be at the bottom of the pecking order at that point. Good luck!
