WOW!! What an incredible difference!!!! One of the best chicken yards I’ve ever seen! Have you ever considered letting your chicken free range? Isn’t it amazing how propagating bushes can have you growing so much free food?! Currently I’m living in downtown Toronto in a loft style apartment growing so much of my own veggies using hydroponics! I had no idea how much could grow with just nutrients and water!!! I grew two sweet pepper plants inside with just grow lights and south facing windows that were each more then six feet tall and four feet wide! They kept producing sweet peppers year round it was absolutely incredible and I hand pollinated each one. I grew a head of broccoli and so many greens and I grew a very large tomato plant and a wall of cucumbers that were self pollinating. It’s absolutely incredible and the lettuce I had growing in rows of DIY tubing and a self watering system of a slight water flow and the lettuce and herbs grew with just the nutrient rich water and grow lights. It was a challenge and with each experiment and success it spurred me on to do even more. Unfortunately when my grand babies came along my hydroponic experiments were put on hold. I’d love to have silkie chickens perhaps one day! Until then I’ll keep watching your videos which just help me continue dreaming of one day. ❤️🥰🇨🇦🙏🏻🍁
Thanks! The only down side to free-ranging chickens is that they dig up and destroy EVERYTHING. When they get loose they create quite a mess in a short amount of time. I would like to have my husband build a chicken tractor that I could move from place to place while keeping them away from things I don't want destroyed. How you grow things sounds amazing. You are very creative. It's wonderful to grow your own food in any way you can.
I truly love your home and your gardens.And all of the things that you both are doing together, especially considering you just started all this 5 years ago! You are truly living the dream and sharing it with the rest of us. That's not to say it's not hard work and a lot of trial and error, no doubt. I'm in the same age group as you both are and my husband passed 5 years ago. So watching you makes my heart smile because It's all the things we loved to do ❤
Votre dévouement à élever des poulets avec tant de soin et d'amour est vraiment inspirant chaque œuf, est chaque poulet que vous produisez témoignent de votre passion pour votre métier. Continunez à nourrir vos poulets avec autant d'attention, ET de compassion, votre travail est vraiment admirable salutations depuis la France.
Merci pour les gentils mots et les encouragements. Nous aimons nos animaux. Mes « filles » sont peut-être gâtées, mais elles nous donnent de délicieux œufs. Merci d'avoir regardé!
I grew an elderflower in a pot for the last few years and now after watching your video I will move that up to my chicken run so that they can get some shade from that and also the berries. Our chickens free range all over our property but currently we have bird flu starting to creep around Australia so we are now going through the process of fixing down our enclosed area to be more user friendly to our chickens but will keep out the native birds which appear to be carrying the virus. Our gorgeous chickens and our rooster survived the black summer bushfires here with us so Im going to move heaven and earth to make sure that this bird flu virus doesn’t get to them. I was supposed to have a biggest morning tea for cancer funding this weekend but as people come from all over the south of Australia to our area during the winter I don’t want to take the chance of someone bringing this onto our property. Thanks for your video
Oh my, I'm glad to hear that they all made it through the bushfires. We also have the bird flu near here too. So far we've been fortunate not to have any problems here on the farm. Best of luck with your flock.
Awesome. It's a challenge to keep things growing, but I love having beautiful flowers and trees in and around the chicken area. If you do comfrey, make sure it's the sterile kind or else you will have it EVERYWHERE. I bought mine as root cuttings. Once you get 1 plant it's easy to propagage from your own root cuttings. It's an amazing plant.
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 out of all the chicken videos I have watched. Your was the first one to plant trees and fruit bushes for the chickens! You Definitely Know your chicken language!😂😂
Thanks! I LOVE perennials. They are almost all low/no maintenance, they come back every year and they multiply so they can be split to get some free plants.
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 of course you will... I've been revamping ours as well, however ours free-range with goats and sheep and of course our 210lb LGD Charlie who's a Turkish Akbosh... so the Halks, Eagles, and Owls don't bother ours... they did before Charlie... we live next to a tree forest so we also have hogs, a Mountain Lion, Fox, Racoon, Wolf, Coyote, Armadillo, and all kinds of other preditors... You've given me some great ideas however to add a bit more- gonna have to figure out the sheep&goat situation, however... Blessings

Oh, thank you so much for the kind words. We're so sorry your husband passed away and we are honored that our videos can bring a smile to your face.

After watching this, I immediately purchased seeds for daisies, sage, comfrey and yarrow. Will also put bricks around my trees!

L🥚VE the chicken coop and yard, I always smile a lot watching your wonderful videos. 🙃💗😊
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the videos.
Another lovely video to keep me company while I prep our dinner. ..well done guys.
Thanks!
Parabéns Brenda…adorei a mini fazenda das galinhas…você fez a diferença para elas…grande abraço desde Brasil 🇧🇷…!!!
Obrigado! As galinhas parecem gostar disso. Obrigado por assistir!🙂
What amazing chicken run! Who would not be inspired to do this.I took notes.😍
So glad you foun d it helpful. I keep getting new ideas to try too. It will be the never-ending chicken improvement project. Haha
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 out of all the chicken videos I have watched. Your was the first one to plant trees and fruit bushes for the chickens! You
Definitely Know your chicken language!😂😂
That is a great idea about the rocks around the trees and plants.
It really works. If they can peck/dig down to the roots, they will. This is the only way I've been able to keep bushes/trees alive in the run.
Great ideas. Your chickens are really spoiled. Great video.
Thanks! Yes, my chickens are spoiled. 😁
Love what you have done. Beneficial and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement.
Great job! Isn't it wonderful what one year can do for perennials?? Love it.
Thanks! I LOVE perennials. They are almost all low/no maintenance, they come back every year and they multiply so they can be split to get some free plants.
Wowzers that's an awesome transformation...
Blessings ❤
Thanks! I really like it, but I'm sure I'll keep adding stuff as the years go by.
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 of course you will...

@@amsohn1 wow! You have more predators than we do. God thing you have Charlie!!!
Thanks for the great ideas, i need to fix up our yard, reduce their area a bit, tired of poop on patio
It works very well. The 'girls' are very happy.
I’d be living the high life if I were one of your chickens. Lol
I treat my 'girls' pretty well. ☺
Another great video you keep everything so nice❤
Thanks! My girls seem to like it.
I LOVE WATCHING YOU ALL.
THANKS!!
A great chicken yard.
Thanks! They seem to like it. 😊
I just have to say…sweet gum tress are terrible and they multiply like crazy.
Hmmm....we had one for 25 years at our old house and didn't have any trouble. I wonder if there are different varieties of sweet gum trees???
Well you don't look any younger after 15 months .
Thanks?? ☺
