    If there are too many rosters in your flock. You will never have a peaceful flock. The rosters will fight and harass the hens. One male to 6 or 8 hens, if I remember correctly. The extra rosters need to go to freezer camp.

    • @TheKraemerLife
      @TheKraemerLife  Рік тому +1

      We have one rooster for 19 hens in our main flock which is too many for him so we will make the flock have 2 or 3 (there are more females) The other roosters will all have at least 8-14 hens each but they are not old enough to go with the roos yet)

    Great roost , I think you probably worried a bit too much about it being level though. You have to remember that after a week or so of use its going to be covered in chicken crap lol. As long as its srturdy enough to hold them the chickens aren't going to complain if its not level lol. But seriously I do understand, OCD is a pain

    What a great roost that turned out to be - Those hens will be very happy in there - its very spacious too.
    Its exciting to see their different charachters emerging. Although there always seems to be one that picks on another poor chook. Oh, and that poor hen getting passed around by all the other young roosters 🙄🙄🙄 - no wonder she was exhaused and screeming, poor thing! They are all beautiful large birds though and so healthy looking👍🏻.
    I love them being so clucky and looking after their chicks. They are good mommas! I could watch them all day.
    Must say, I am so taken with the gooselings in particuallar - I just adore them. Fancy them walking down to the creek and back with you and your visiters, showed in the other video😄😄😄 That was just so cute, well beyond words. You have now officially been adopted as gooslings parents from them 😄😄. That was precious.
    So now when you take your walks, they can accompany you and the dogs 😄😄😄 They are very protective. They are just beautiful!
    I didnt know you spoke German Nate - had to chuckle as I heard a word escape there lol.
    Its nice how you both sit around outside and just talk, then casually go about your chores, everything is so natural, its so nice. We have no expectations - we just love to see how everything is coming along, all the animals, whats happening, even if nothing happens, thats fine too. Thats life - You are also living a dream that many would have liked to of done perhaps. Nothing is easy. We are so grateful for you allowing us to share how your lives are.
    See you tomorrow! Good night! 💕

    I see why that house isn't finished yet. Sometimes you just got to go for and cut something wrong

    • @mrdio4625
      @mrdio4625 Рік тому +1

      The true reason the house isn't finished is they have hundreds of things that need doing and 90% of the time they have a 1 person workforce.

    • @TheKraemerLife
      @TheKraemerLife  Рік тому

      Just because you like things a certain way doesn't mean it is wrong to want it done correctly the first time. Rushing and cutting wrong can lead to things taking longer and increased costs to fix the mistakes.

    Hey , I'm curious, I always see the "guardian dogs" hanging around with you guys all the time, as opposed to guarding the sheep , so I assume you got the two Pyrenees G.D.s for pets, right?

      They mostly watch the chickens but they keep guard on the farm as a whole. They are not pets but we interact with them more than a lot of folks would for their guard dogs.
