    In our latest homestead video we share buying our new Polish Chickens and getting them home to their new setup. We then skip forward 3 weeks to show you their upgraded home and their first day in it. You will also get to see the first time they come outside. Plus you can meet some of our local cats that hang around our farm. We have so much going on but loving every minute of it. Hope you enjoy the video. Please leave us a comment on your thoughts, hit that thumbs up, and subscribe if you have not. We also appreciate anyone sharing out our videos. Thanks

      Thanks man. They are so cool to have. We are going to expand the coop a lot and get more. My goal is around 50 total. Yeah the kittens just set there all day watching them. Good test for the coop security. lol

      Hello, great to hear from y'all. Hope you are well. They sure do grow fast. So far they seems to be loving the new area and room they have. Been a blast having them. In a few months the eggs will be another great bonus. Then on to goats. lol

    I'm excited for you. I never thought of the chicken wire being extended on the ground from Fort Clucks. That would make it harder for critters. Love the hair on Polish Chickens. Thumbs up 👍

      @SmallSpaceLiving  2 роки тому

      Thanks for watching y'all. Yeah that is something I seen when I was a kid helping family on a farm. It supposed to help a ton. Time will tell. They are so prone to predators we wanted to try to pull out all stops. The Polish is a great chicken. We plan to add another breed as well but the Polish are amazing.

    Now I feel bad I just ate chicken for lunch. They are sooo adorable.
    Looks like they look right at home 🤗 🐥
    That makes sense to reinforce the chicken wire. Smart about the chicken wire on the ground, too.
    Fort Clucks 😄
    Ok. I need to see a swinging chicken 😉
    They look happy in the bigger place ❤️

    Love the dark ones with the white heads.

      Don't feel bad. We eat chicken every chance we get. lol These are more for eggs then eating so they are safe. haha They are loving the new area. Fort Clucks is protecting the gold. lol Jessica is just a worker. I am the boss. They are growing fast. So much bigger now. Hope y'all are doing well. Been a minute.

    Cool! They made themselves right at home, going straight to the feed and water. Looks like you really have them protected. The only security measure you don't have is and alarm system, Lol. "Fort Clucks" !!! no joking. It's solid. Dang ... those are some lucky cluckers. Yeah they're going to like it. They sure have grown! They know Jessica's voice for sure. I love their head feathers. Thanks for sharing. Good job!

      Yeah man they have. They have jumped right in there. Funny on the alarm system. I am looking to put in a camera system to be able to watch at night or get alerted if something is moving around down there. See how I over do things. lol We are loving having the chickens. They have been a great add. Now you have to get Sue some chicks. lol Thanks for watching buddy.

      We love the chickens. Once it get past the build of the area they are very easy after that. Plus good free eggs. Eggs continue to go up in the store so it's good to know we have them fresh and ready when needed. I for sure highly recommend chickens to anyone.

    We have chickens. One is a rooster we named him Moe. He does not like when I am in the backyard and makes filming at my tiki bar a little noisy. I hope you don't have all roosters! lol. Have fun with them.

      Nice on the name Moe. Made me think of the 3 Stooges. lol Funny on the tiki bar. So far just from a check and what I can tell it looks like we got 5 hens and 3 roosters. We will probably sell 2 of the roasters if we do end of with 3. For sure want more hens for them eggs. Thanks for watching. Hope things are going well.

    So that must be like a tractor supply. We don’t have those here. Awww cute baby chicks. Great idea about the wire on the ground. Jessie said that’s an old trick. I’m not a homesteader so news to me lol. Wow they grew so darn fast!! That’s crazy. So is there a big difference between polish chickens and regular ones? I’m outside and the sun is kinda washing out my screen. Are they fuzzy? It’s cool you got some chickens for that taj mahal coop lol.

    • @SmallSpaceLiving
      @SmallSpaceLiving  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah sort of like a Tractor Supply on the roids. lol They have a massive selection most of the time. I do like buying more from Tractor Supply though. They are better at sexing chickens. Yeah I helped on a farm as a kid and we always did them that way. That was many years ago. So for sure old knowledge. lol The are 100's of breeds of chicken. Even the Polish has several different breeds in their set. The difference comes in with temper, eggs production, and being brooty. Meaning they fight to keep their eggs and hatch them. Polish are a middle breed which makes them easy to handle. They are very nice and produce about 200+ eggs per year. So not near the most but about right for what we want. Yes the will be very fuzzy as they grow up. Look up white crested polish and that is what 4 of these are. You can find pics everywhere. We are glad to have some chicks in there after all the work. lol Thanks for watching y'all.
