Henlo, friends! Please see the description for all the reference links I used for this video. And remember to keep the comments respectful. Chickens are humankind's most amazing common denominator! 🥰🐔
Yesterday one of 5 hens seem I'll. She was not eating, standing off, not moving much. I checked her for mites, checked her vent I didn't see anything. But I put her in her own cage inside run away from others. This morning before the others were let out she was running around acting normal. Eating, moving about normally. I saw she had laid a soft egg. And I was missing an egg yesterday. So I feel like she's ok just maybe had a hesitant egg laying. She has a bald spot on her head just below her comb. She's had that going on for a few weeks. I've seen the biggest girl pecking at it here and there. I assume that's why. Unless you think something different? I'll be keeping my eye on her.
#dalia Can you eat a bird that had Avian Flu or simple Flu? What diseases make it an unedible chicken?
NOTE: I consult on a Regenerative method of improving your grass.

Thank you for this!!! You're right! Fear is not a good basis to decisions. Facts are, and so is logical judgment. What you said is logical. I know a man with chickens in the city. He has a yard. Gets inspected every year. He has a tiny, self sustaining ecosystem, year round. It's an oasis. It can be done😊
Im not in the Illuminati bahahahahahaha now that was a killer man
It's about control, they don't want you to be self reliant.
And what sense does that make, jody? Do you really think anyone cares what you're doing with your life? Everyone has their own problems to think about.
Absurd
Exactly. I do not trust the tests they use either. They can make anything positive if they want to. A prime example of this is Covid. Suddenly the basic flu and colds have disappeared.
In Pa during the covid thing the governor said people do not have a right to work, so I guess we dont have a right to feed ourselves either? Some states even went as far as banning the sale of seeds for gardening during that time. In certain states if you feed the homeless they arrest you, so there is that too. Seems the government has a lot to stay about what we do.
@bwenluck9812 You're wrong, do the research!
Control the food, control the people
That's what it's all about.
… “control the weather, you control the world!”
Amazing.
❤️🙏❤️🇦🇺❤️
Have been saying this for 20+ yrs. Most (in public) always give me a puzzled look. Makes them think!
The Dictionary defines the word “TREASON”; “Treason” is when a person acts against his/ her country. ... A treasonous person is called a TRAITOR! Outside the field of law, the word "traitor" can be used to describe a person who betrays a group to which he or she belongs!
So 49 years since Labor PM Whitlam and LNP Fraser first treason against the Australian people by agreeing to the UN Lima agreement: to reduce our manufacturing by 30%, with the same amount of lost Aussie workers jobs? And to buy goods to the same amount from China, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Brazil? The UN Lima agreement is still working against today! Soon our only export will be our minerals!
Since that first betrayal the treason continues, UN agenda 21, Climate Change? UN agenda 2030, what’s the LABOR and LNPs next treason for The WEF+EU+WHO+UNs “WHO PLANNED-DEMIC TREATY” and their “WHO VACCINE PASSPORT” or is it during their next planned demic starting in Brazil in 2025! That is according to Dr Bill Gates such a clever monster. He predicted their Covid planned demic too, and claims to know when and where for their next planned demic? According to the Globalist Monsters! The global human population is not sustainable? For their plan for their future!
So it comes down to, INJECTIONS for thee, but not for me! (Or their traitor Politicians)
Scare the people to control the people.
If we have a scare over chickens in someone's back yard, it's only because that's an area that the government doesn't have control and they don't like it.
god forbid if you can feed yourself and not have to be reliant on big brother. thats what they dont want.
@@dibrentley7915
Agreed
they do have control tho. do you pay property tax? lol you rent from the gov.
do you pay property taxes? you rent from the gov. lol nobody OWNS land dx
Thank you!!!!! Love your discernment and common sense!!!!!🥰
Fear lowers the IQ of anyone that experiences it. That’s the whole point.
HUh? Fear can save your life.
@@peacenow42 your right it can. It triggers the fight or flight response. In both cases solving logic problems are retarded.
@@peacenow42I call, people who have no fear of nothing...has issues.
@@paulao7022 trying to manipulate others the very same way they accuse others of. Fear can indeed by a very powerful tool of even mass destruction, but so can shame and name calling like 'sheep'.
Extreme emotional states, commonly result in temporary iq drop. Not everyone and not from simply experiencing fear.
Be wary of emotionally evocative communication patterns.
Make the effort and learn about these things for yourself. Don't pretend you know because you listened to someone else's opinion. Read the source material for yourself. Think for yourselves and discuss.
After the last 4 years, I have ZERO trust in ANY governmental agency. For THEIR safety, they best stay away from MY FLOCK 😡
Exactly 10000% agree
How are they testing? PCR test?
💯
😁👍
We posted our farm boundaries with “No Trespassing” signs specifically to keep the Dept of Agriculture off our property. Our farm is fully fenced with locked gates. The govt can’t walk onto your property and test your chickens without a warrant unless you give them permission. Don’t give them permission, tell them to get a warrant. They can’t get a warrant without probable cause which is physical evidence and they can’t get physical evidence without going onto your property and testing your birds.
I think instead of stopping people from having back yard chickens, We should take a closer look at the big chicken industry and how they are raised in such confinement and so packed together it is unsanitary and just plan cruel.
🎯
Absolutely agree🎉
The only way to stop it is to stop funding it. Grow your own food and stop allowing this industry to prevail.
The cabal is destroying the food supply including manufacturing and processing plants.
People had to live with space between themselves during COVID, so it doesn't make any sense to continue putting chickens and cows so close together.
"My people perish for lack of knowledge" ! Here we go again.
Yep. Will probably require multiple masks and at least 12 jabs. 😂
Right!?!
Someone who knows the word amen bro
@@8383kathy
Not in my household,no jabs and eat plenty of eggs and chicken.
I’d trust the sincerity of this lady over any worthless government “expert.”
After 22 years of active military duty? Trust experts. NOPE.
That is when you come up with a plan B and do not tell anyone about it..
When you get to the field then you give out the plan B.
Then deal with those brown noses. When you get back, alive.
But success does speak real loud.
Except when you were supposed to fail.
As a Central Oregon ranch wife with a herd of a couple hundred, bird flu doesn't scare us. The reaction to it does.
I'm scared for you. Scared for me, too.
Yes, when they start acting like it's a big deal, you know they are planning something
You might live on a , chickens come in flocks, not herds lol.
Truth 🙏
@@vincentrockel1149 Um, if you ever have a bunch of them running after you, it's more like a herd, LOL
Unfortunately common sense AND critical thinking have left the building.
Exactly right!! When someone knocks at your door and says, "I am from the government and I'm here to help", that is a signal to make a discernment of what kind of a person you are. Will you take charge of your own life or let others do it for you?
💯💯💯💯👍

There literally has never been a more true statement. Sad state of affairs these days...
Follow the money. Leads to bill gates

How so? He's bought a couple potato farms....
that's him spending money but who is the money debt really owed too.?
❤
My neighbor is 90 yrs old and worked in chicken farms his whole childhood, teenagehood and I'm telling you this!! I have heard of horrible conditions and no one person ever became sick...until now! Look at what is happening in other parts of the world! They don't want us to have chickens and they want a whole monopoly on your food...period!! Do your research!! Damn!!
All the covid nonsense conditioned everyone into thinking the sniffles will be the end of them 😂
Yes. But it also conditioned many of us to be skeptical of nearly everything we're told. I'm one of those. :0)
@@evana2511 good point. Me too.
I took the Rav Sha ul path
When he was bitten by one of the deadliest poisons on the planet he shook it off.
@@rocdajacable
That sounds like the story in the Bible where the viper bit Paul and he shook it off. Go Jesus:).
funny not funny
Fresh air and sunshine are so important to almost all living creatures including humans. I’m a firm believer that most of these animals getting infected are kept in environments that aren’t supplying these two basic needs.
Now you know why they try and block the sun everyday with their airplane piss.
Monocultures like the chicken industry has developed are also more vulnerable to diseases.
That is so true. They are living creatures not egg machines
Yes. I totally agree!! All living creatures need space, fresh air and clean water.
@@EricCarlson-bz2pt yup exactly!
I heard of someone who caught the Bird Flu. He had a high fever, hacking cough and and an almost irresistible urge to poop on his windshield.
EXACTLY LOL ROTFL
😂🤣😂, windshield May take a while to clean 🤣😂🤣
Lol
🤣😂😃😆😅 pooping on the windshield! fabulous!
😂😂😂❤
In Croatia there was suddenly talks of African plague illness amongst pigs, thousands killed on small homesteads and lab results coming back clean for any kind of infection, but small scale pig farming is successfully devastated. Especially when a dozen pigs is exterminated on a traditional homestead and the owner is an old person who'll needs years to recover. The powers that be had enough of homesteading.
🥺💔😢
WOW!
😖😭😡🤬
Any excuse will serve a tyrant!
That’s really terrible.
It's a global issue. They don't want you to have any food except theirs.
I wish more people cared about or understood how bad factory farms are.
It blows me away at how very little science people actually know. You are on point!
We've had all of our common sense and natural instincts programmed out of us. We've been trained to blindly accept everything we see/hear on the tv as truth and/or science.
science says corona wasn't transmissible to humans until GOF...
They did that on purpose. Sucked the education out of the education system where I live. The younger generations can barely read, let alone research or question anything.
Fear has more power over those who lack knowledge. Thanks for creating this video.
I'm concerned with the government freaking out and culling all the chickens & COWS due to bird flu (IT'S HAPPENING). It's ridiculous. If people stay healthy they should be fine, too.
The government isn't going to freak out. They plotted this take over of the food industry. The bird flu scare is the same EXACT tactic that was used during c-vid. Get rid of all privately owned farms and businesses so the gov can control it all.
I think that's the plan . We will eat zee bugs . Imo
@@supergram7409 Zee bugs... or lab grown/3d printed meat.
Yeah this has always made me annoyed.
If you want resistant birds you shouldn't cull the entire flock.
Yes you should quarantine everything preferably the birds with symptoms away from birds without.
The birds who survive bird flu are more resilient and you should want to select for that genetically.
100%
Breaks my heart seeing those poor chickens in those factories.
Then stop buying eggs...
Never buy eggs from anyone other than free range and local. No store eggs. If u must do store eggs, pay the extra for certified cage free.
@@WaningGibbousyoure saying that here? When nearly everyone here has a flock of happy laying hens? Read the room.
the scene with the overcrowded chickens is just plain heartbreaking.
“I don’t want you to make decisions based on fear”. Well said, Dahlia. I hope for people to practice that mindset for everything. ❤
Made me cry watching the way chickens are kept in commercial setting. The best thing people can do for their own health is raise their own chickens. What we have to fear is the meat and eggs coming from the horrific conditions of commercial farming.
The only birds getting sick have been jabed and kept inside in bad conditions
That's not even remotely true.
Not true. Back yard flocks have also gotten sick. Wild birds are the main vector & will often land among backyard flocks & share their food & water.
None of my animals are jabbed. I used to vaccinate them and they always got sick and it got worse as time went on. That all stopped when I stopped vaccinating them and don’t let vaccinated animals in with mine.
To add to that, last year all my lambs were born dead and the kid goats were weak and had Goitre. Sent a dead on to the lab for testing. They came up with all kinds of reasons eg. They ate the wrong grass it a weed. I had used the exact same brands if minerals that I have used for 35 years. This year I got different minerals ( custom made ) and with exactly the same feed and pasture I have big healthy babies. Old minerals were made by big Corporations.
Y'all need to learn to appreciate sarcasm.
Dalia you are so right. These people try to put fear in everything at the moment and now they have started on keeping chickens. Keeping chickens is so good for your mental health and as things in the world has gone mad it’s more important to find a happy place. Your videos are just great ❤
Thanks so much!
10000000000000000% AGREEEEE
The FDA, USDA, etc totally have our best interest at heart, and don't forget the media😂! They don't want us to be self-sufficient or think for ourselves!!! This is just too much....
This is such a kind and effective way to address people’s concerns. You don’t talk down or insinuate they’re stupid for worrying.
First, your hair looks adorable! 😁
I am the opposite of afraid. I have become super skeptical of government agencies after 2020. I love my flock. I am no longer freaking out about a wild bird near my flock. I do my best to keep my flock stress free and healthy. ❤
Thank you for bringing this topic to us in a calm and rational way. 🤗
I agree, I love her hair!
In my entire adult life, I have NEVER EVER trusted the government, or doctors or big pharma for that matter. Idk why bc I wasn't raised this way.
C19 and the years since have only proved to me, without a shadow of a doubt, that what I suspected is true and much more than I could imagine! I've always been called a conspiracy theorist but I call it conspirifacts!
AMEN!!
I have 29 chickens and they almost all got really sick about a week ago (my rooster even lost his crow for two days) - coughing, sneezing and lethargic. They all made a full recovery after a few days (without any special care) and i didn't get sick. I'm happy to have them back plucking about in the chicken yard!
From what I heard (from Dr. Peter McCullough’s podcast) that’s what normal bird flu does/is. Birds get mildly sick, birds get better, birds are now immune. He said if they would stop culling the birds and stop vaccinating the birds and just let the virus run its course the birds would become immune and we could put bird flu behind us. But the government needs an emergency to keep absolute power so if there is no emergency they will make one up. Even if it’s not a real emergency.
I would remove this post so you don't get the government banging on your door.
@@cindyvining7866 why? People need to speak and use their voice and stand up and stop being scared. Fear is what's putting everyone in a pit!
@@lionessofel3203Exactly. 💯🙏🏽🤍
Back in the day, agriculture was taught in the local high school. Text book listed all the poultry diseases, bird flu was one. Dangerous only for very young and very old birds. Treatment was to let it run its course so the birds would be immune.
Chickens are decent people! - George Carlin
My main concern with raising yardbirds is the feed. If it's corn, I'm not eating chicken anymore, because now over 90% of corn sold in the U.S. is RoundUp Ready corn, and every kernel contains Glyphosate. It's passed onto the consumer and you can guess the rest. That's a major concern.
Recently one of my hens got sick. Not eating, hardly moving and sitting all fluffed up. I gave applecider vinager and raw garlic in their water. After 3 days she was back to normal. A few days later an other hen and my 3 year old quail (which is extremely old for a Japanese quail) had the same symptoms. I gave the same treatment and they also recovererd. I can not worry about birdflu or humanflu really.
Try cannabis
Oregano is a great treatment for chickens that are under the weather.
@@deborahwhit9583For the birds or me?
The hens almost sound like they were going broody, from your description. My quail don't go broody, so I don't know about that.
I feed my chickens garlic and apple cider vinegar in their water every few weeks or so! They are so happy and healthy! I also do the same with my sheep ☺ Garlic is the absolute best medicine for almost anything. Although I know certain animals shouldn't eat it, so research before you use for other animals. But garlic is God's gift to us ❤ I also saw someone else mention oregano, and that is another great thing to add to their food here and there.
Thank you for being a logical voice in a sea of deception.
I'm in Texas I dont have Chickens I live in a apt but I want to move and get a few chickens.
There killing off our food,and now there saying Cows have it and they're are starting to bring inspectors to our stores to test meat with that famous pcr test.
Also inspectors in slaughter houses,its crazy, ..meat prices will go thru the roof.
Thanks for trying to educate people. There motto is control the food you control the people,you control the money you control the World.God Bless❤
I hope you achieve your goal of moving & getting chickens. I used to live in the country & I had a little flock of hens & 1 rooster. I enjoyed that so much, & the eggs were amazing. I'm in an apartment too, & hope to move to the country & have chickens & a garden again.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I don’t trust the government fear mongers, am sick of their drama and pay no attention to them. Love to all in Chickenlandia!👍❤️
I have chickens in the mountains of Georgia. They are healthy. I feed the organic feed. They have vitamins. They are free ranged for 5 or more hours a day I keep the coop clean as could be. No smell in winter or summer. They have 4 acres and a pond and creek to explore. I guess they are a very lucky flock.
My chicks run from their coop to hop in my lap every day. Their combs look great, their feathers are soft, silky, and shiny. I get goosed if I don't give them enough attention lol. But my flock is heavily spoiled and well protected. I love listening to all of them purr and roll in the dirt that we made for them. We put up a baby pool full of dirt, so they take dirt baths every day.
Lucky chickens!
My neighbor has about 30 chickens and a couple roosters. I love them. Love hearing the roosters crow. I have become good friends with the " egg lady". Love the eggs !!!! She takes really good care of her chickens and separates one if it is in any way showing signs of being under the weather. I am not afraid of getting the flu from peoples pets! These are her pets!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for bringing your expertise!
Caution walking around roosters on the loose, they can spur you! My pet rooster spurred me unprovoked years ago and I almost lost my leg and foot, from the infection that didn’t get treated right by the first doctor in the ER!
Your list of disclaimers-not being a doctor or government employee…that actually makes you more likely to speak truth these days. Kind of unfortunate, but it speaks to your ability to have common sense opinions.
100%
A healthy and happy life protects from disease. That goes for humans and animals.
So you are saying that it's the patient's fault if they get sick?
Thank you for this logical, fact based review of the situation. I've seen a lot of people, including ag regulators, trying to use this recent case to drum up fear and enact senseless legislation to limit the rights of small poultry and dairy farmers. I hope others follow your lead and do their own research.
Thank you! I hope so too. ❤
Yep. Bird flu something they will keep in their back pockets to drum up fear and control. That's is ALL it is.
Thank you for posting. Correct information is the cure for ignorance.
Gotta respect someone who spends her life educating backyard chickens.
I have never been worried about getting anything from my Chickens, well except for getting attack by that one Rooster.
Thank you for all the great information, I don't know people got it at all.
I will still do everything I can for my chickens!
...and the only clues to what happened were a few feathers, slowly drifting to the ground...😂😂😂
I have that rooster too! It's a love-hate relationship... I love him to death and he loves me until that moment he comes after me bahaha, wouldn't trade him for anything! Big old Jersey Giant❤
If we had one of those Roosters, the wife always needed more chicken stock for her cooking.
Roosters respect the broom 😎
@@deborahwhit9583 Or a stick lol
I'm not worried about any of it, because what's going on right now is 🐃💩. The tests are seriously sus- for chickens AND people. I would confidently state that only people working in factory farming would have even a minimal chance of being affected. Not to mention the whole 'cow to cow' transference they're trying to scare everyone about now..
Just ALL untrustworthy..
🤨😡
Thank you for all you do, ma'am!
🐔❤🐔
Spot on and I love your French accent btw! 🤣
Agree!!!
Plus those who have got the "burd flew" haven't been really ill. One guy in the UK got it living with many many birds in his house in very poor conditions. The sort of conditions akin to animal hoarding.
Thank you for your info...Yahuah had no intention of our world acting as it does. He is Good All The Time!!
It's so refreshing to just hear sincere truth spoken...
You have to be the best ambassador for home chickens.

I'm glad too. ❤️
@@WelcometoChickenlandiaWould love to see you talk about Mycoplasma in chickens. I recently ran into this and had never heard of it and I’ve been keeping chickens for almost 9 years. I ended up culling nearly my whole flock before learning they can live with it. Needless to say I was heartbroken. I feel completely defeated this year as far as my chickens and mycoplasma go. I would love to hear someone else’s perspective on the topic.
I talk about that in a podcast. Let me try and find it!
Okay I think it’s in this one. Sorry, I’m at the grocery store so I can’t give you the time stamp but I’m pretty sure it’s in here: www.buzzsprout.com/916387/14197336
Thank you for using common sense and not spreading fear. I still find it hard to believe that this flu can jump from birds to mammals.
One thing for certain here: your birds really love you! So nice to see happy, healthy & well cared for animals❤
You nailed it about factory farm conditions, but unfortunately most people shop big value stores and that's what most of America eats, low quality fast produced animals. I bought local chickens they were better than fancy organic supermarket; the smell, taste of skin and less grease..yummy
My family and I just love our chicks. We all sit out in the run with them and feel like they are our therapy! They give us so much to laugh together at, I cannot imagine letting them go now. My heart has stretched to fit my 21 chicky chick chicks in!
One of the things I love about you, is that you approach subjects with so much common sense. Thank you so much.
I realize the world has to be fed. Most people, I find, are completely "dislocated or detached " as to where their food comes from.
Stop going on hearsay and educate yourselves about these issues.
Madam President, as usual very well said.
(By the way your hair looks lovely today).
Thank you for helping to reduce the public’s fear.
I myself have chickens and keep the wild birds away from my flock the best I can. I keep water and feed clean and away from wild birds and other pests the best that is possible. Wild birds having contact with chickens is the most likely way that any disease is spread to backyard chickens. Also ducks going out and swimming in ponds with wild birds then coming in contact with chickens. It’s possible to keep chickens and have then healthy for many years.
Aside from homesteading channels, I don’t really research chickens, so it was interesting your channel was added to my feed. But I do appreciate you spreading the truth on your experience with them. Really praying for our nation and the chickens!
I just love your calm, methodical, common sense approach. Chicken keeping is awesome.
Thank you for our information, I love chickens and I’m not afraid!
No kidding? I never knew there were only 2 people identified with avian flu! Here's something interesting: I was born in the early 1960s, and so was my best friend. My family moved across the street from them in the late 1960s, while they had lived there from the time not long after my best friend was born . When they moved in, there was an elderly couple next door who kept chickens. My best friend's parents were transplanted Southerners from the Smokies, and they lamented that they weren't permitted to keep chickens in their own backyard. Their next door neighbors were only allowed to do so because they were grandfathered in when the city health board banned chickens in the city *due to concern about avian flu* !!! When my best friend's Mom was telling me all this, it was the first I'd ever heard of such a thing. I'd just assumed that farm animals lived in the country on my grandparents' and other people's farms, and that city people didn't care to keep farm animals. So it turned out that public health boards were using disease as an excuse to ban farm animals in our city. I don't know if they had any evidence that chickens caused the disease, but since then I've certainly heard it passed along as if it were Gospel Truth. I can't count the number of popular press News stories I've heard saying that different types of influenza often originate in China _because it's a predominantly agricultural society_ . Then they go on to cite avian and swine flu as examples. I tell you what, when I went to college, I learned not to trust the popular press for information about most if not all science news. I even had professors warning against it because the popular press dumbs things down to make the articles readable by anyone with a 10th grade reading level. Nowadays it's probably dumbed down to a 6th grade reading level. Thank you for being more intelligent than those college educated know nothing journalists.
Thank you for the info. My city recently changed it's no birds policy to up to six hens with a bunch of stipulations. Nothing so draconic that makes it a pita mostly just common sense stuff. I haven't raised chickens in 45 years but it's been a blast. I think my girls are pretty spoiled. They frequently sit looking out the window that faces the house waiting for me to bring them a yum-yum. Thanks for all the good info.
My town just upped the amount of chickens we can own based on lots size.
Every time I watch your videos: 1) I think you're so just-right adorable it makes me smile. 2) You truly have Presidential-level chicken knowledge that matters, and 3) - Better-than POTUS skills when it comes to info-sharing in an easy-to-listen/watch while learning kind of way. Thanks for all you share here, and all that you contribute to bettering universal Chickenlandia.
Thank you Dalia for presenting common sense and critical thinking in your encouraging manner. It is uplifting to see your birds so happy and cared for! Thank you for the great information.
Thank you for doing your research on this and sharing it with us ! In this new world of social media it's so quick to make decisions without finding out the truth. Blessings to you 😇🙏💙
Thank you. The confusion out here is crazy. More people need to speak on this to calm this fear. I ❤ backyard chickens too. Had and raised them most of my life.
It is simply all about control and fear is the best weapon to use against the people as you know. Blessings to you and yours coming at you from Southern Oregon...
I feed all the different birds and ducks that show up in our back yard. I just love them. Your chickens are 🥰 adorable.
This video needs to be shared far and wide!!
Agree. Don’t let the fear porn get to you.
It breaks my heart to see how some chickens have to live. My chickens have so much space and sun and food and love. It’s just hard to imagine what those poor animals live. There is no comparison to what we offer our chickens to how those other four creatures have to be.
Thank you so much for sharing on this. I don't live in fear and just doing my best and loving my chickens 😀
Feed lots and chicken factory farms aren't natural habitats for animals and many of us don't raise our animals this way.
Unfortunately because of the few cases of bird flu it can be used for more harm than good.
My chickens and all the birds here are so happy and peaceful therefore I'm peaceful about it all too.
Thanks again so much
Love my chickens. So quirky and adorable. Wish I’d started keeping years ago.
One of your best posts. You go girl. ❤. Hope you and your flock are doing amazing 😊
Thank you!
Hello Madam President
Just hearing the factory “farming” is heartbreaking…. Watching it is worse.
We love listening to the many sounds our chickens make as the wander around the yard… when one of the Roosters finds a tasty morsel and tells the flock “Look what I found!” Or when the egg song starts and they all celebrate.
Our 12 happy chickens, in our fenced yard (predator protection is important) with a beautiful new coop (we’ve saved for it!) are a far cry from the chicken houses with no freedom, no sunlight, no tasty morsel found while scratching around the yard…
Educating ourselves is important. Sharing what we know - and where we found the information - is also important.
We love our flock. I will defend them, and our right to keep them.
Blessings ❤ 🐓 👽 🛸 🥚

Thumbs up,!!!!!!
yes knowledge is power
Peace love light unity
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whenever you cut to a video like that with the chickens in such deplorable conditions in my opinion, it brings me to tears.
Me too 😢
I thought I was the only crying when I saw that.
Me too. It should be illegal. So inhumane Makes me so sad. When I get baby chicks a friend always says: Those you choose are going to have a wonderful life.
It is so difficult to look at. ❤
I agree, it's awful 😡😪.
Thank you for sharing, always with us, in a calm manner-the voice of reason! You're the best! 🐤🐔🐓🪿
Finally a voice of reason!
I am so glad to find someone who loves her chickens as much as I love animals and dont ever want to hurt any of them. I do want to have chickens - eventually when I learn more about how to do it.
Faith not Fear. This isn’t the only thing they are going to try and scare us with. Just turn off the TV and you will have a happier life. God Bless
I couldn't agree more! ❤
Thank you for sharing this information! I really appreciate your content! ❤
Considering the massive flocks of starlings that hover around dairy farms where I used to live, I'm betting it came from starling droppings when they hit the feed bunks. And yes, massive. Thousands wheeling from farm to farm.
I just had 1 sick bird this past week and unfortunately I did not hear your REST method so I did not remove her. However I started giving her bird probiotics and the electrolytes right away. I put them in the water for all of them. I went out and checked on her several times a day and pet her and prayed she would get well and she is better now. None of the other birds got sick and they never bothered her. 🎉
AND I did not get sick either.
Thank you for all the info you share about back yard chickens.
I had the same thing last week too with our new blended flock. One of the smallest ones had some respiratory thing going on with some lethargy, stuffy nose and water running out of her break after drinking. I added the apple cider vinegar to the coop water and she recovered and no one else has shown similar symptoms, thankfully.
I just ordered your book but im sorry to say i bought it second hand. On top of just being broke, i could not bring myself to line amazons pockets as a ex employee who got fired for being out sick. Mind you my doctors notes had been emailed to them. I will pay full price for the next item!❤️
Don’t apologize!! I’m so glad you were able to grab a copy. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. ❤
You are not a PhD, md, or other but you have common sense and speaking the truth.
When I lived in New Jersey I had a close professional relationship with the health Director because of my feral cats. I specifically asked him about the bird flu and he shook his head he says ignore it.
Had a chance to learn how bird flu affected someone's homestead flocks a year or so ago. The wild ducks died, the Chickens lived and no humans got sick.
Happy and healthy go together ❤🐓 for chicken's aswell as humans. Stress weakens our immune system and fear causes stress! Stay calm, confident and keep loving your chicken's 👍Blessings
Nothing ANYBODY says, does ,orders , mandates, or blah,blah,blah will make my girls go any where. If they get sick I'll work to get em back up to good health. These are my babies their where their gona be.
We raise Langshan chickens, which are quite large. The flock we have now is probably 3rd or 4th generation on our land. They free-range during the day, and are locked up at night to prevent predators. Never once have we had any health problem with our chickens. We eat their eggs, and we eat the chickens also. Of all our animals they are the easiest and most productive. Great video, thank you.
I’m living on the island of Maui. We have so many wild chickens running around. They all look so healthy and happy! Some of the males are just so extremely beautiful!
It's amazing that people are fearful of any and all contagion! I do have chickens and turkeys. I know there can be transmission of pathogens between humans and birds. There should be more fear in mirocrobe transmission between humans than between humans and birds.
Thank you for putting a voice of reason to this topic. It’s so unfortunate that more info isn’t provided when these topics are reported on. You are a gentle voice that needs to be heard, on a topic that has people fearful. Thank you for sharing.
The real issue is the Klaus, the Bill and their friends. Love these images of your birds, very impressive.
Wonderful to see someone care for their chickens like you do!
Also postmortem exams of cats who died of H5N1 on dairy farms show devastating effects on the heart, lung, eyes, & brain. This isn't a joke folks. How you feel vs increasing pandemic risk are two very seperate things. Raising your own chickens is for sure a lower risk, than commercial free range production (where chickens can interact with wild birds) but still a risk.
We lived on a farm during 2022. The woman who owned the farm had over 300 birds, if not more. I think her chickens would’ve been OK, but she also had ducks and geese and even a couple wild geese that had made her farm their home. And that was OK except she had this big giant pond in the back and the wild geese would come all spring and then they come again in the fall and they would hang out there for weeks and they had the flu and passed it on to her geese and ducks, who then took it in and gave it not only to her chickens and turkeys and all the other birds, but also to her Emus. We had chickens at the time in our own little area on the farm that were completely covered by tarps, and the government came in and basically took all her birds, and killed them and was coming for mine, and I didn’t let them have mine. We moved off the farm and moved into a different place, and none of my chickens ever got sick And they are all very healthy and doing well. I think honestly all the geese that were flying over and pooping all over the farm were not able to affect ours because they were covered. But it did make me angry how the government came in and forced their way in and was going to just kill every bird on the farm whether they had her permission or not.
Keep clean meat away from unclean.
Where did that happen? It's heartbreaking, but after c19 I'm glad for my chickens too that we moved out of California.
For the first year in many this is the first year that us keepers in Scotland have not been forced to keep our birds in lockdown (unlike in England) I take biosecurity measures like only wearing the same boots into their run and dipping my feet in disinfectant before I go in, very seriously. I also keep my birds in a fully covered run with guttering on the roof to divert any water ingress that may bring wild bird faeces into my run. The transmission to humans is extremely rare and the effects on us as far less traumatic than they are for our birds. A couple of people in millions to contract H5N1 is a minute amount and how they contracted it says a lot about the environment they were in. I am a scientist working in animal health and welfare so get notified of any disease outbreaks immediately, however I don’t overly worry about my backyard flock. I do worry about 40,000 birds in one very small confined space passing illness very easily between each other. Keeping your birds in healthy, clean and dry environments with good biosecurity can go a huge way to protecting your birds. We are though, now required to register our birds with DEFRA (dept of environment, food and rural affairs) so we can be notified of an outbreak in our area and take remedial action. Personally I think factory farming has a lot to do with the fast spread of endemic diseases and that raising our own is a far less risky affair
At this point I don't trust Science, anymore than I do the government or Doctors. We have been lied to so much. Those Who go along to get along with this craziness have damaged their own reputations by not standing up when they knew that the others were spreading lies. They did not defend the truth.
Sorry but at this point ...there is no trust left.
THE EGG & I.....
best book ever!!
Every woman needs to read it!🐔❤️
Excellent...and, totally agree on all of your points!
