Growing up with parent's who lived through the Great Depression we didn't waste anything. If bread was moldy you removed the moldy part and still ate it.
I’m so glad you brought this topic up! I have an old stump that I call “The Giving Tree” and leave gifts for the band of crows that stay in our area. I even have a special call that I do when I put something out for them. They always show up! I like them to patrol my property and haven’t lost a bird to a hawk.. which we have quite a few hawks around..since I made friends with the crows. I have Australorps as well. Both methods have helped immensely!
Very nice my friend. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been feeding the crows our extra eggs for a couple years now just to keep hawks away. It works great. I built a box on a fence post to put feed them on
Smart 👍
That’s great my friend!
I will be your first "COURT THE CROWS (with a pic of a chicken)" t-shirt customer...please!!! I love that idea! Thanks, again, for another great informative video. Your efforts for sharing your knowledge to empower others are not in vain.
Appreciate it my friend. Thank you so much!
I have a pair of crows. They are with us for at least 20 years and have brought up many young. The are fed fell and defend their territory together with their offspring. Never lost a chicken to a bird of prey in all that time. The crows will try to take chicks, so I keep them safe with their mothers until they are the size of a quail.
Nice my friend. Thanks for watching!
I go to flowers foods bread store here in Thomasville big bag for $6 sometimes get Dave's whole grain in bags. Down road go farmers market get thrown out cabbages and greens they have boxes full of romaine lettuce all for the birds.
Love to hear it my friend. Thanks for watching!
I 100% agree we have crows that my wife feeds and they absolutley attack the hawks and they have no mercy for the eagles at all we had six crows attacking an eagle that was on the ground in the field behind the house.
Thank you for your time and effort in helping those of us less advanced. We've been homesteading in Maine for 7 years and love to learn from your wisdom and experience. God bless and keep on!
Appreciate it my friend. God bless you!
Crows are AWESOME. Re rescued and raised a crow for 2 years, she then protected and brought in other crows and saved our chickens so many times from Hawks!
It’s a shame crows get such an awful reputation when they are some of the most helpful critters we have around here.
Crows are awesome birds. Many years ago we had a cat that was diabetic and had to get shots twice a day. The cat loved to be outside during the day. When we would call for him in early evening to come in(time for his shot), if he didn't come the crows would start squawking around the evergreen tree that he was asleep under. We found him easily every time! Now that we are out of the city and on a homestead, I will feed the crows I hear all around us. It will be good to get them ready for when we get our chickens into a tractor on steroids!
Very cool my friend. Thanks for watching!
Just received my perma pastures farm t shirt to rep here in NOVA!! Chicken tractor on steroids build starts this weekend!! Thank you guys for all the related information it’s so welcomed!!
Thanks for your support my friend, means a lot to us!
Another way I have found to cut down on feed costs for the pigs and chickens - I give some of my ‘willing to help’ neighbors 5 gallon buckets with lids. I write on the outside what foods they can put in. They love that they are not throwing food away. One of my neighbors kids even bring THEIR scraps to their parents buckets! I go pick up the buckets on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
i love crows and i have never understood the fear of mold, growing up poor, ive eaten my share of moldy bread and just last weekend i was eating some bread and butter made it in the dark trying not to wake up the family and when i was done went back for another slice and forgot and turned on the light and realized the bread was very moldy lol. im 58 and mold has never made me sick, but i am know for my iron stomach. wouldn't recommend for city slickers
Love to hear it my friend. Thanks for watching!
I always pull the mold off too. The only time I don’t eat it is when I can taste the mold in a “mold free” piece. My family HATES that I eat older food! In fact a salad I just cut up fresh for my in-laws on Monday, they’re ready to throw away on Thursday 😭. I would’ve eaten that salad- if there’s brown pieces, I just pull those out.
Thanks for sharing this great info with us Billy & Michelle, we’ve got a few stores in our area that I’m gonna pay a visit to to see about getting their scraps & their out of date bread and stuff. This is the way my grandparents use to feed their chickens back in the day. Hope y’all have a blessed day. 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😊😊
Of course my friend. Thank you so much for watching!
Very interesting, I was always hesitant and put that bread in the compost. Time to put it
I’m the chicken yard
"I use blackbirds to protect my chickens from birds of prey". GREAT IDEA! Can anyone replicate this?
I do believe so, my friend.
Thank you for great content! Our tiny flock is suburbanized, but we are slowly working in some of your methods. Ours are all girls under a year old, but we do see how when they get more fresh forage they eat less from their feeder. Over the winter, we've been sprouting microgreens (not any special or fancy blend - just a bunch of cover crop seeds) and the girls tear through it with glee. We also give them kitchen scraps and the occasionally stale bit of muffins or bread. As soon as the weather warms enough, we'll be leaving some of the dirty bedding from their coop (as well as any leftovers not directly chicken-suitable) in a container with a cockeyed lid to start another BSFL bin. It worked well last year and if the bin is close to the chickens, they're likely to grab a few of the adult Black Soldier Flies that tend to hang around the bin.
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend!
I have made friends with the crows. Most people think I'm crazy. They have chased off so many aerial predators. Thank you for your videos.
Great video Billy. Any method to reduce the risk of a Hawk stealing our chickens while they free range can be very beneficial. The green color of the Australorp rooster feathers are similar to a Crow, and helps reduce the Hawk factor. I've had Australorps in my flocks for many years, I've learned they don't fly like other breeds will and they sure taste good.
Very interesting my friend. Thanks for watching!
Did you say you're in Kentucky too?
I love when the crows run the hawks off!!!
@@kp76333 Hello, I'm in Tennessee.
@@kp76333 I agree, and they sure can make a lot of noise.
Keep it coming Billy. Keep teaching
Thank you so much, Christine!
Keep doing what you're doing, Billy and Michelle!! Love everything you share with us!
Appreciate it my friend. Thank you so much!
chickens LOVE squash/pumpkins and sq/pump last for up to a year....pie pumpkins, jarrahdale, tondo, etc....have 300-500 seeds PER pumpkin not to mention the flesh and the chickens (and all animals) will love it and it is full of vitamins and minerals
I totally agree, my friend!
Preferably in the country but with rabbits and guinea pigs people don’t realize they’re very prolific. Easy to manage for people who don’t just want chickens I do all of them so it doesn’t matter to me..
My chickens love bread and the crows around our property keep the hawks away. The crows don't bother my hens. Love your videos!
Great minds think alike!
ive had the same family of crows around forever. great to have around, except when ya go huntin. they let every thing know where your at. i feed the birds and i always have a couple of blackbird familys hang around instead of going the full route to canada. if theres a hawk, they are on them.
On the hunting front, that goes two ways. They’ll let you know when something is moving in as well, especially a predator but deer and turkey as well. I have to run multiple feed cycles on my feeders to keep the crows from getting it all during the day and still have something on the ground when the deer show up. Running the feeders at night is one way around it, but I don’t want them only showing up after/before shooting hours (not that I hunt over feeders or anywhere near them).
Squirrels will do the same, but in both cases - squirrels and crows - I find they aren’t scaring anything off that I’m after at all. They might make something pause for a moment and look/smell around, but that’s about it, if anything at all. If you learn their languages, I find they’re far more of a benefit than detriment. I hear people complaining about squawking squirrels while deer hunting all the time, but I think most haven’t ever worked through the annoyance to realize the benefits of having them around (aside from eating them, of course).
Very true my friend. Thanks for watching!
Hahahahaha! "Crows are like pimps, the don't forget nothing". That made me laugh alot!
Glad it made you laugh my friend. Thanks for watching!
Court your local crow, now that's a slogan. My dad has fed the crows for many years and some of them will just walk right up when he feeds. I don't mind them to bad, just have to watch out when new seeds start to sprout in the spring. Usually, a couple of aluminum pie pans strategically placed will keep them at bay. Thanks Billy, for the moldy advice!!
Of course my friend. Thanks for watching!
Wow never thought about the crows that way. Definitely have hawks. Thanks!
Of course my friend. Thanks for watching!
Really good to know Billy. The old school way scrapes has always been farm food. Well horses are picky . Have a blessed day ❤️🙏
Appreciate it my friend. Thank you so much!
We've been getting old ots from the food pantry for years for the pigs and chickens. It has been a great blessing.
That is awesome!
Crows chased a hawk that was after my chickens. I bought Crow decoys and black chickens. Haven't had a hawk kill a chicken since. I don't see crows hanging around too much, though. I'd love to court them.
Very cool my friend. Good to hear! Thanks for watching
It's cool to hear how you are utilizing the moldy bread. Nothing should go to waste. Crows are very smart animals and good to hear how folks are working with them and not against them. Take care and God Bless.
Thanks a lot my friend. God bless you!
I have crows in our woods across the field that come visit. One waits for me in the tree by the house when I go out in the morning. The grandkids call him Russell LOL
Now that’s a cheap pet!
I saved my hens tonight from a hawk he was about to attack. He was mere feet from my head. Instead of taking a walk I did aerial patrol for 20m until hens went inside the coop. I guess they won't be allowed outside the run tomorrow. The run is 10x20. They say it's toooo small for 7 hens
Glad they’re okay my friend!
Thank you, always learn something useful and I've been a h omesteader for 20 yrs, you have a great channel
Awesome! Thank you!
Always a pleasure Billy and Michelle. Blessings, julie
Thank you so much, Julie!
Thank you 🙏 😊
yeah to the crows. thanks for sharing the info. i have a regular family of crows, i rescued and rehabilitated one of their family members and returned him. i saw him recently still hopping. i feed them everything week. had to adjust my coop, they stole all my ceramic eggs, then took all the golf balls. but no arial predators in 8 years.
Thanks Billy and Homestead Honey. This is really great information.
Of course my friend. Thank you!
So many people don’t know that mold was the first antibiotic. Penicillin is a mold found on a melon.
Thank you so very much for pointing that out. I honestly thought everybody already knew about that.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 most people don’t even think about where the medicine comes from. I myself have been learning how to use different plant to make medicine for the last several years. My daughters are really getting tired of me telling them to put salve on it. LOL. Our grandparents and grandparents grandparents knew how to use what is available to make their lives better and how to heal common illnesses.
Thanks guys.
Of course. Thanks for watching my friend!
I threw my girls an old soup bone after I boiled it off and cut the meat off of it. The girls had a field day! :)
Love to hear it my friend!
Thank you for all this information… It’s priceless!
Blessings
Great. Great information. We also feed bread and moldy break chickens love it. Never thought to approach a bakery o to such. And correct again with as little grain with it cuts huge overhead. And the Crow thing awesome I did know crowd chase away just about every bird around but never thought to use their availability. We have 36 hens 1 rooster and these hens lay year round since we've had chickens. 10 years and they lay year through.. God has truly blessed us. Thanks for the info. Will be watching More
Good video Brother! Blessings.
Thanks a lot my friend!
More than one way to skin a rabbit or a guinea pig About the same they make no noise you can do it in any city.
No arguments here Nicolas.
THANKYOU--- for the info from you and Michelle--- we all can continue to SPREAD this news--we are family in the body of Christ
Of course my friend. Thank you so much!
Love your chanel.
Appreciate it my friend. Thank you so much!
I don’t give them good eggs I only give them the bad ones the floaters😂
Thanks for sharing! We don't have the same set up, we have hoop coops and no netting. We just release them freely but they do run with 22 guineas which our good warning systems.
I ❤ our crows!! They’re the escort fighter jets keeping hawks at bay.
Yup I would need that shirt!! I make sure the crows are fed n YES they come protect their area n chase those hawks 😄 I keep seeing where too much starch is not good for chickens..i do rice 1x week n bread 1x week. They get scraps n free ranch n thankfully I'm getting eggs
Good to hear my friend!
Hey Billy, I sent you an email on your website with a question. Thanks for all you guys do!
Ill have to check it. Thanks a lot my friend!
I love learning from your channel! Thank you. Also, I am loving the p.i.m.p podcast. It is fantastic!
Glad you enjoy the pimp podcast my friend. Thank you so much!
Very interesting- I don't have chickens but we do have crows 😃😃
That’s definitely a good start in my book!
My chickens eat mold and all, never seems to effect them.
Hi Billy, AnyComfrey crown sections available? 🐥
Darn straight. Animals know what they need!
This is awesome info thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend!
My buddy brews, but my egg layers (RI Reds) never really cared for the spent grains from brewing.
This is interesting and advanced thinking potentially.
Great idea.
AMEN!!!
I've always "talked" to the local crows. I tell them they are welcome on our farm, but please leave our animals alone (hens and cat). One left a feather in our field for me. I felt honored.
The crows come around when they do. They HAVE warned us of hawks, I've been out there when it happened. the hawks really hate that...
PS, thanks for the tip re: beer makers. My hens would love those grains, definitely. I get rejected produce from the local grocery store once a week; fermented grains would be a great addition to their diet.
Thank you so much for the kind thoughts, my friend!
Court the Crows....got it! 😁
I just wanted to say not everything you do is relevant to me, but I like your message. I hope others get as much out of your videos as I do. Thank you to you and your family.
I have a question not related to this. I bought some of your comfrey roots back in the fall and planted it. Most came up and was growing until that cold freeze which basically killed the green. Will this come back in the spring?
Yes it will once it warms back up in spring
Yes it will my friend!
I love our crows! Best hawk defense ever.
love my crows - keep hawks away
We have more magpies then crows, they love it when the chicken's don't eat eat everything, have found a benefit to them being around though. They annoy everyone, including the cat's & chicken's. Lol
Now that’s a cheap pet!
I have to battle the crowd they steal our eggs, have witnessed them piercing an egg and flying off with it on it's beak
I’m sorry to hear that my friend!
Grat information. Special right now with ALL of this lab meat.
Grow your own food.. Thank you
We have ravens ... are they the same as crows to keep ??? what birds of prey. I did see 2 raven after an owl but they did take out 5 baby chicks
We get animal 'food' from the locally owned grocery store but the big name stores LOCK UP their garbage
We saw them dump 10-15 whole hams in to a locked trash bin
Thank you for the video
Yep, I like the ravens around my chicken yard because they chase the bald eagles away. (Alaska)
I almost forgot that you called him ravens up there!
Billy, when might you have comfrey ready to sell?
Very soon my friend!
I absolutely love your videos. Hubby and I are going to be looking at properties in North Carolina, maybe Tennessee, as we are dying to get out of the rat race in Commiefornia. Any suggestions as to where we might start our search would be most welcome! Thank you for ALL your inspirational work.
I left that particular rat race in 2014. We looked at Tennessee, but decided on Texas. We were in the Coachella Valley, and my Wife said that she wasn't going to trade one desert for another. Also she grew up in Minnesota so no states with harsh winters, but she did want four "real seasons", and we have that. We're an hour southeast of Dallas close to a large lake. Best of all we found an old homestead on seven acres with a pond that was bank owned and had been empty for four years, we bought it all for $80,000.
We raise chickens for eggs and meat, dairy goats for milk, cheese and soap. We grow most of our vegetables and in the last two years we've raised our own beef and pork.
I wish you all the luck in the world! And you won't believe the relief and peace of mind once you leave CA and return to America.
@@kevingilbert6242 Aaaw, thank you for your reply! We are in riverside county. I too do NOT want desert. I'm originally from Australia and enjoyed 4 proper seasons for many years. I cannot stand 360 days of blaring sunshine, that we have here. Never gotten used to it in over 30 years. No offense, but I thought Texas has a reputation for being dry and hot all year round. (Although, when I watch Chip and Joanna Gaines, I have seen nice areas and even some rain😁)
Hubby is from Chicago and he doesn't want blizzard areas either.
I'm so impressed, and happy, that you guys got such an awesome property for such a good deal! We do feel overwhelmed at not even knowing where to start, but just like everything else I've done in life, it starts with taking that first step. 🙏😊🇺🇸
I live in Riverside and I too am planning an escape. I’ve made several trips to Tennessee (drove up and down the state) and it is beautiful! I liked East Tennessee first, middle Tennessee second and West Tennessee last. Arkansas and Missouri (Ozarks for both places) are also lush and green and worth a visit. Check out Living Free in Tennessee podcast.
Very cool my friend. Thank you so much! You can’t go wrong with either one of those places.
@@jaylarsen4077 All those places sound great. I've heard good things about East Tennessee. I have a friend who left San Diego after 40+years and she moved her family to Missouri, less than a year ago. She loves it and is never coming back. I'll check out channel you recommended, thanks. I also found Cosmopolitan Cornbread. She's a veteran like me and recently moved to Arkansas. Her property looks awesome!
I been feeding the crows for years and I free range my hens and ducks never loose any due to the family of crows that take care of them from eagles an hawks,
Yes, crows!
When the crows come around I’ll leave eggs out because they let you know when there’s other predators and the chickens know that
Very cool my friend!
I hear you talk about earth ship in some of you’re videos. I was just curious if you live in one
If I see a hawk and need them quick I grab my husbands call and they come in quick to chase them away. They are rewarded for their service.
That’s what I’m talking about!
What kind brown rice that's expensive then
white rice & cook or raw!!
He gets the scraps from a resturant. Along with all that bread stuff. He gets that from a bakery. Leftovers etc.
We do get a lot of our scraps from a few restaurants in town!
Hi Billy. What rice knife do you have? Been looking into them and too many bad reviews along with too many knives. Advice would be appreciated. One of those would be a nice addition to my toolkit. Thanks.
Do you use dry rice or do you soak it in water?
I believe he gets leftover, cooked brown rice from a Mexican restaurant. Beans too
We get our cooked rice from a few local restaurants in town!
I love y’all’s video, but your video notification have not been sending me your new video’s
That seems to be happening to a great many people out there. Strangely, the people selling fear and mayhem have no problems.
🙏🙏🙏♥️🙂👍
Ha, she looks like you ate her last apple and drawing up divorce papers.
👍🙏🤩💝
Around here you don't want to have the crows and ravens coming into the chicken yard; they steal eggs and kill chicks
The chicken tractor on meth is kicking out compost
Love to hear it my friend. Thanks for watching!
...skin a cat....
Oh, please... That was a phrase i didn't need to hear. 9:27
Services for security cameras，PLEASE check the email
Get black chickens. Hawk problem solved.
Is there anything you wouldn't give the chickens?
I don’t give them citrus or avocados. Even if I did, they just wouldn’t eat it.
No you need to make a shirt that says Cracklin in style.
Love it!
You added brown rice, was that cooked or not
Is the rice cooked?
It is indeed.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 where do you buy the rice from?
crows are like pimps lol x 1000000
