      Sorry I haven't been watching your videos lately, I have been busy doing chemo and radiation but I'm done with that now. So now I'm waiting for my Pet scan next month to see if the treatment worked. 🤞

    Great video! We’re in the middle of remodeling our coop (will put that video up on our Gunsmoke channel when it’s done) so you gave me a few ideas we’ll probably incorporate. Thanks for the suggestions! Hope you guys had a good trip!!

    Great recommendations! Lots of great stuff for chicken owners here! We love a good heated dog water bowl for our girls in winter and our reuseable nesting pads. We have an antique commercial poultry feeder we love. Sadly people are cheap when it comes to waterers and don’t spend for the heated. We haven’t had to deal with mice and flies are minimal for our chickens…the pigs have a ton of flies and we love those fly bags

      I bet you've got flies with the pigs. The disposable fly bags are incredible. You might want to give one a try, if you haven't already. Thanks for stopping by Lisa!!

    QUESTION: Do mice or rats get into the feeder holes? 🤔
    I subbed!

    • @TheOldSwedesFarm
      @TheOldSwedesFarm  9 місяців тому +3

      Glad you've joined us! We appreciate your support! The feeder is set on 4x4 pieces of lumber. This gets it to the right height for the hens. It also puts it high enough that the mice can't get up to it. It's a great device for feeding without the waste and mice. Thanks again for joining us!!

      The feeder is a real winner. It is a game changer for us to go on vacation and not worry about having neighbors feed the hens. There is a link to the nesting pads in the description. I bet your girls would love the pads as much as ours. Have a great week!!

    Great list! Thank goodness we don't have a mouse issue here. You also reminded me about the meal worm video I still need to do. Wish we would have a broody hen, we are due for some new chicks here soon. Down to 10.

    We have the exact same brand of mouse catcher. Difference is that our’s has a clear lid so we can see if we caught any mouse. Let me just say….game changer!!!! And safe to use.
    We invested in Grandpa’s Feeders. I wish we bought the large one, but we have 2 small ones. It’s a treadle feeder that keeps food inside, keeps the food dry, and keeps rodents out. It’s expensive on the front end, but has saved us so much money in feed. Plus, I don’t worry about a mouse pooping in the food. Mice are an issue with the field next to it.

    • @TheOldSwedesFarm
      @TheOldSwedesFarm  9 місяців тому +1

      The clear lid would be really cool. It's amazing how many mice can fit inside. I'll check into that feeder. I love our design. No waste and no mice in the food. Cheers Glenda!

    Thanks for the info! I'm definitely going to try that outdoor fly trap this spring and summer. I've been using a heated water bowl during the winter but I like your heated water container better because it looks like it holds a lot more water.

    • @TheOldSwedesFarm
      @TheOldSwedesFarm  9 місяців тому +2

      The fly traps and the fly killer are great! The water heater holds three gallons and it's never frozen for us (to -26f). Glad this helps!!

    The electronic bug zapper works, I have one. But it freaks my dog out so much he won’t sleep all night. As soon as I plug it in he knows so I wonder if there is an electric sound he can hear that we can’t. My dog is mellow and not skittish, but this fly killer was like taking your dog to a fireworks display.. I used the thing twice and had to give up on it. The zapping is so loud and crazy it might have an effect on the serenity of the chickens.

    • @TheOldSwedesFarm
      @TheOldSwedesFarm  9 місяців тому +1

      I have watched the chickens while it is going off (early evening and late at night). They are OK with the sound and they don't bat an eye. Maybe there is a sound within the bulbs that disturbs your dog. The sound is loud but I know when those bugs are dying!! Cheers Pam!

    • @TheOldSwedesFarm
      @TheOldSwedesFarm  7 місяців тому +1

      I guess you'd have to buy some property (or rent). Then decide what you want to do. I know nothing about Tanzania and the laws, weather, etc. You would do good to find a local expert of a farmer in your area. They could help you better and have more local experience. Good luck with your farm!

    Do the mice get into the chicken feed with it raised up off the ground like that?

    • @TheOldSwedesFarm
      @TheOldSwedesFarm  9 місяців тому +2

      It's far enough off the ground and we've never had mice in the feeder cups. It works really slick.
