We are so lucky to have this sweet baby in our lives :)

Chickens grow up so quickly, at 3 months they should be much bigger than that. Check out the 4 previous weekly videos if you want to see the weekly development for this group starting at week 1!

@@Gardinteam I have 13 month old chicken, that I bought from the store as chicks , also I have 2 month and 1 month chicks that I incubated from my eggs, the question is what kind of food do you give them or is the camera that makes them look big?

The camera might be making them look bigger! We feed them quality chick feed for their age but more and more of their diet is from free ranging as they get older and spend more time out. In our week 6 video you can see them with older chicks that are much bigger than them and those are still not fully grown but will give some perspective on their size!

We feel so lucky to have found Sunny 2 years ago!

Thanks so much for the support, love those baby chicks 🐤

Thanks so much for the positive comment, always trying hard to do what makes them feel happy and comfortable :)

Thank you so much bud, I couldn’t ask for a better thing to read.

Thank you so much bud, we appreciate you.

We had no idea how big flowering asparagus could get, and they have just exploded next to the strawberries!

Hahaha Thank you! That make us so happy to hear!

No Gus, just us

Thanks so much Sean. Love all of our animals and what they are teaching us ❤️

Hahaha! Usually true but, we have some terrariums and aquariums with amazing diverse moss growing in it. 😀

Both are awesome! We love to have as much biodiversity as possible. Some areas we love beautiful mossy cover but others we love lawns rich in grasses and wildflowers to feed herbivorous wildlife and pollinators.

I love moss too! We definitely allow moss to grow in some parts of our yard, it is gorgeous, but generally don’t encourage it in high traffic areas or where we are trying to encourage pollinators. Moss has shallow root like structures called rhizoids that don’t penetrate as deeply into the soil, making moss less than ideal for areas of your yard that you are trying to build the soil up and prevent erosion. The longer roots of grasses, clovers, dandelions or other wild flowers that you allow to grow in your lawn will help to build and stabilize the soil, especially in high traffic areas where moss would be easily scraped away and consequently, healthy soil and nutrients would wash away overtime as well. Plus, moss doesn’t provide food for pollinators, so if you’re letting your lawn grow long, with a huge variety of plants, you are doing wonders for the pollinators in your area :) Our lawn is a mix of dozens of species of grasses, clover, and wild flowers, which makes the soil stable and rich, and provides a banquet for pollinating insects. We let it grow long in the spring so that pollinators coming out of hibernation have a bit of an easier start :) #NoMowMay Thanks for the comment and for watching!

You are so right! It all depends on what plants you want to encourage and what plants you want to discourage, someone’s weeds might be someone else’s favorite plant :) our lawn is covered in dandelions!

Hey! That's a great point. We pour a 50lb bag into a spreader and walk that over the lawn. We've found that the lime sitting directly on the moss inhibits it's growth, even if it takes a bit longer for the entirety of the soil pH to change. Plus, we don't pull the dying moss up, but leave it in to act as a little fertilizer source as it decomposes. Have you had any luck using lime on mossy lawns? If so, what did you do?

Thanks bud! I was really excited when we caught that.

@@Gardinteam you at shop this week

Thanks for the comment David! Filming their next week growth today and it truly is remarkable! I’m so glad we decided to do a weekly update, the time just flys! A 15 hen flock is going to be incredible! So happy for you! And what great breeds!

Thanks so much! We are having a blast raising this little flock :)

You are too good to us, thanks for all the support!

Hey there! We are currently raising an additional 18 chicks indoors that we will add to the flock this summer when they are big enough. I'm also eager to see if my routine will be affected once we have more than 20 hens! I'll be sure to post an update once we have everyone together and make sure to highlight what has changed about my morning routine. How many chickens do you have and what is your routine like?

@Gardinteam I have about 40 birds in total, but not all of them are chickens. In my coop and run I keep about 16 chickens, I do deep litter so I don't pick up poop, I never water my chickens, if I have to clean the water bowl, it takes less than 30 seconds, I use a regular plastic chicken feeder elevated with paracord under the chicken ramp, it takes me less time than your 3, I also don't pay water and power to maintain my flock, 100% off grid...I have videos up, but warming, I do everything very differently, I have the most advanced chicken watering system on UA-cam, that's how much I hate watering my animals lol, I don't mind feeding at all.

Wow! That is amazing, I can't wait to check those videos out! One of our core philosophies is to always be learning and always be looking for room for improvement, so I definitely look forward to seeing how you do things. We've been running a gardening store for almost a decade and our customers are always teaching us how many different ways things can be done to suit individual needs and preferences. It's all about learning and then using what works for you and your situation. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and for sharing your insights. Never having to water sounds like a dream!

@@Gardinteam I think you will like the automatic water bowl attachment lol

We checked out your setup, so cool! I think you are right! We have upgraded to a bigger water dish, so will see how that goes as the flock expands!

Tell me about it!

Hey there! Thanks so much for the compliment, we've really enjoyed that coop! I never thought about the dog's saliva in the chicken water! Even if the dog water bowl is full, Sunny always loves to steal a quick drink ;)

Thanks so much, we are loving our little farm :)

Thanks so much for the support, we are having a blast making these videos :)

Its really good for your lawn, because the leaves get shredded up small enough to decay quickly, passing the nutrients into the soil. You wont get a thick layer that kills the grass.

Couldn’t have said it better!

@@wes4578 makes sense.

That is a great idea, definitely! It is amazing how fast they grow, they how much sturdy they become week by week.

Great question! It can vary, but in general, I alternate each month between just scooping off the top layer of excess hay and droppings and adding a fresh layer of rice hulls, and doing a full cleanout. It never ever smells thanks to the biochar and is always dry thanks to the absorptive moisture layer of the coco in the middle, and the anti-absorptive dry layer of rice hulls on top.

Thank you! We bought it a few years ago, I’ll find out from where and get back to you ASAP :)

That coop is from Tractor Supply, we built the run with 2x4's and hardware cloth. 😀

Thanks so much for the comment and support, it means the world :)

Thanks for the support! We own and run a small garden supply store, www.gard.in outside of Boston, Massachusetts. We sell them for local pickup because they are too bulky and expensive to ship. However, you should be able to find them online or hopefully at a garden store near you. We sell a 50lb bag that expands to 7cuft for just under $40 as a reference. You get a ton for not a lot of money :)

Thanks so much for this comment, it made my day! We love our chickens and love sharing how easy and rewarding they can be :)

I'm thinking of getting chickens. Thanks for the video.

Absolutely! If you have any questions or ideas you’d like to see us make videos on definitely let us know!

Thanks so much for the wonderful comment and for subscribing! We hope to get better and better, your support means so much! Enjoy the promo code!

Thank you! Can you email us some pictures? Get the underside of leaves as well.

Thanks friend!

Glad it was helpful!

Amazing! It’s incredible to have someone in the audience from outside of the United States, thank you for being a part of our community.

Amazing, see you there Adrian!
