  • There is total chicken chaos in this week's video! We FINALLY have our first farm animals on our Off-Grid Tennessee homestead and man do they keep surprising us. They chase us, try to eat our breakfast and much more!

    The chickens might need some protection from birds of prey

    You don't let them out til the food is gone... or throw some cracked corn B4 you let them out

      That was our first time eating outside with them around haha. We will definitely take that advice!

      @@RunawayMattCass just FYI
      Cracked corn and calcium is all they need... they will get every insect on the property for you.
      Try NOT To feed "LAYER PELLETS" Gov Conspiracy and Tractor Supply ... layer pellets caused the hens to STOP LAYING.
      AND "CRACKED CORN" Will give you the best and tastiest eggs

    Hey you 2 .... here in Northern Europe we use woos chips in the chicken coops .... when puttinf down a big pile, it's good for all winter, the menour mixed with the feasies will also help keeping warmth in the coop during winter .... we clean them out every spring and autumn/winter .... and it's already to kickstart the 'hot' composting

    Oh my gosh! Sorry but that was funny! Your hens will eat anything, so garden scraps you can feed them to your chickens. Your coop turned out well. Love your new deck...

    I want to have chickens again but I want them to free range because we have so many ticks. Issue is, the one adjacent neighbor that I have would probably have an issue with them visiting their yard. Also, I'm almost convinced they are smart enough to avoid going into the road that's 75' from the house to the road. You have me thinking again 🤣 Enjoy them! They are so fun to have around. I had mine "cooped up" and in a small run and it was just not fun.

    Now your homestead feels and sounds alive. Love the colors on your roosters and hens. They are gorgeous ..beautiful babies to come. Thank you for showing how to installl the chicken door. I am about to install mine. The coyotes on my farm know and watch for when I am gone and came right into the house yard and took 5 chickens. I now lock them in a big yard covered in so they have a safe place while I am gone. How about Nigerian dwarf goats next. Lol I have seven and they are just like puppies. Did you know the NG milk is so rich you can make butter as well as cheese.
    And they add a whole new level of fun, color and noise to the homestead. Cow panels work great to keep them contained when they need to be. Love your channel ..blessings to you and your new flock.

    Looks like they all passed the float test. For hard boiled I've found fresh farm eggs have a different peel.

    Just keep an eye out for hawks and owls or you'll be getting more hens sooner than you anticipated. The electric fence is great to keep raccoons, opossum out

    I think the chicken just wanted to sit in your lap and say hello. When you shooed her away, that's when she pecked the plate.

    We tried the door that y’all got and we weren’t very happy with the results. It wouldn’t open in the morning and wouldn’t close at night. I finally spent the extra dough for an Omlet door (after trying 2 other doors). It has been on the coop for 2 years now and has always worked perfectly. I put 4 AA batteries in it when I installed it and 2 years later the batteries are still at 70%. Might want to take a look if you have any issues with the one you have.

    That was hilarious why would you let them out while you are eating. Just keep moving the fence around. We never just let them have free range of our whole property. We just moved the fence.
