We are not pros, just sharing our personal experience! Thanks for watching!
I don't know if I have ever seen an A-frame ckicken house... they all look healthy and happy 😎👍👍
Thank you!
What a great little house for them, even though they are food birds you want them to have a good and safe life. Have a blessed week, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦
Indeed, we can feel good about that, because they certainly have lived a happy, healthy life. -Cara :)
Oh wow they’ve grown so big 😃😃 the new chicks are adorable 🥰
Thank you Jasmine!
Those are great structures Cara. Ryan did a great job! Thanks for sharing the beautiful sunset skies. You are correct-the heavens declare The Glory of God! He paints all that beauty for us to enjoy ❤️
Indeed He does, I love the summer sunsets! :)
I like that chicken tractor! That's one project I need to do this summer.
Thanks! :) Ryan put it together in just a few evenings, it was a pretty straight forward design. -Cara
Great work on the coop and thanks for the chicken views 😊
Thank you!
Place looks great and some real quality on all yalls builds. Take care
Thank you so much!
Hey Cara. The meatbirds are looking great. Thats a great place for them to be in your freezer😀💖
Thanks Stacey! It is a blessing indeed to have them in the freezer. :) -Cara
For sharing your beautiful chickens with us and how they’re working for you glad that you are enjoying the flavor of this meat. I have never tried to grow my own chickens, but at least you know what they’ve eaten and how they were raised when you do it yourself maybe get a few babies from your own chickens and you won’t have to buy any next year.
The flavor defiantly does not compare to anything you can buy in the store. It also feels good to show our kids where food really comes from and how to take care of animals. An incubator may be in our future indeed :) -Cara
Amazing update.the chickens are like wondering with you taking video.lol.the guiness are sooo cute
Never seen guiness before. The shelter lokks pretty good..thanks cara..faye
Thank you faye! All of our guniea fowl are the same breed, but there are so many different colors and variations that I never knew existed before myself! -Cara
hugs from pam and john keep it coming on video way to go you going have baby be safe miss channle a lot
Thank you! :)
YOUR view and property is lovely . Those animals have a wonderful life and so well cared. Love theses glimpses into your farm life.
Thank you Teresa! :)
Lovely chickens! Great! Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you! I hope you have a great weekend too :)
Ryan can build anything can’t he haha?
I pretty sure he could 😉 -Cara
is it just me or is the chicken w the scissor beak so cute 🥺🥺 i would keep it as a pet haha
I couldn't help but feel bad for it. I will say it was not the nicest bird though haha. I guess it had to be tough to be a survivor. It would push the other birds out of the way to get to food and once it got food it guarded it like a dog haha. -Cara
@@bluebirdhomestead that makes sense that it had to be tough, too bad it was a meany :(
Very nice ❤
thank you!
it takes a little time but if you have bamboo poles and old CD's fishing line you can string them up and move them along with your chicken wire to keep flying predators away. But honestly, I'd switch to a flock of ducks and geese. You get eggs good for baking and you get predator protection and a xmas goose. all rolled into one.
A guard goose is a great idea! We may get one in the future. Ducks and geese are great animals, we won't have a water source on the property for them yet though. Maybe one day we will build a pond and expand our flock of bird to include them. -Cara
you don't actually need tons of water sources. Just be on the lookout for thrown out kiddy pools and get "cup" style waters. instead of nipple size. @@bluebirdhomestead
That is good to know! thanks!
Hi! We'd love to see a FarmLite Automatic Chicken door on your coop!
We’d be interested in trying one out! Although, we may be repurposing this for sheep in the future
Greetings, Cara, from Windermere, Florida 9b 🇺🇸 ❤
Nice to see the birds and their many purposes! Have you told us what the cost per pound after all is said and done? Chicks to Freezer!
You guys are living the life👩🌾👍
Don't let those chicks eat any of your 4 leaf Clover 🍀☘️🍀
❤Peggy❤
Ryan did a whole price breakdown video last year calculating the cost per pound. I am not sure what our costs would be this year yet. They would be cheaper though, because we bought all the equipment last year like the plucker etc that was factored into the cost. Also we were able to find another local source for feed that was cheaper. -Cara
@@bluebirdhomestead I remember watching Ryan last year, but I didn't remember that exact amount. You can't put a price on the taste difference 👍
@@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920 Indeed the taste and health factor really can't be fully quantified. :) -Cara
The meat birds have grown out nicely. And I bet being out on grass gives them better flavor to the meat. 💖
The young layers and the guineas are also long good. Are you going to let the guineas free range once they are grown? 🤔💖😉
Thanks Meg! Now that we have raised our own chickens and experienced the flavor we will never go back to store bought haha, it doesn't even compare.
yes we do plan on free ranging the guinea fowl :) -Cara
I have a Silky chicken with scissor beak I have trimmed it's beak several times sadly it's so much smaller than the other ones I had too separate it from the other chicken's so it would get more food I have one other Silkie with it 👍❤️♥️🇺🇸
Awww, it is sad to see. This one is a fighter though haha, it always seems to push its way into getting food. -Cara
You have a ton of chickens! I love the mobile coop! How about a second mobile coop if you get lambs?
Ryan did put this one together in just a few days so another one would be easy enough to do. I guess we will have to see if the guineas want to roost in trees or come back to the coop once they are free ranging. -Cara
How long did it take to build that coop?
Ryan built it in just a few days over one weekend if I remember correctly. -Cara
Is that a booger? :D
You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you cannot pick a UA-camr's nose ; ;
I've recently started making my own marinade for chickens. Crazy but they taste really delicious..At least we know what goes into the marinade. What recipes do you use for yours Cara?😃😃🦘🦘Cher
mhhhh yummm!! We do a wide range of marinades and seasonings. My favorite lately for chicken breasts is fresh garlic, fresh cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper and honey. mhhh it's good haha -Cara
