That’s the kicker on eating chicken... My Aunt had to keep the coop clean as a child and as a adult refused to even cook chicken, always said they were “Filthy”. I am sure it’s better now, but too late to ask questions now. She passed. Also wish could ask questions to my grandmother who was raised on farm.
If anyone was undecided about keeping chickens then your upload will have clinched the deal. Without doubt the best chicken keeping video out there. Factual, calm and superbly presented. Work will begin on my chicken tomorrow! Thanks
I’m watching this because my neighbors two chicken have discovered they can get into my yard. Never have had any experience with chickens, they are so cool! I totally enjoy them coming to visit and they spend all day in my yard. They go home at night and show up at about 6 AM each morning. The poop is the only downside.
I could do this. I could TOTALLY do this. Everything I've been reading and watching previously makes it look so hard and fraught with illness and tedious tediousness. I could totally do this. Thank you, Jaime. And hey... I've canned 100 lbs of meats and stews, and 10 lbs of potatoes in the last 2 weeks in the 921 I've had for a year now, thanks to you. Just some more by-products of the "I could totally do this" moments inspired by Jaime.
Omg I love Mushroom! I want to get chickens so I'm watching a bunch of videos to get a feel for the amount of work involved and best practices. Thank you for sharing your chicken videos! ^_^
Beautiful video. It's amazing to watch them all go in like clockwork as soon as the sun sets. Used to think chickens were pretty dumb until I started raising them. Much more intelligent than first surmised. Thanks for sharing.
We have 2 chickens just like mushroom. We named them Honey BBQ but we call her Honey B and Spicy Chicken. We don’t eat our chickens just named them after our favorite foods from Wendy’s. 😂 We love our chickies!
Thank you for that. I've been wanting chickens for a few years in my tiny urban backyard but am allergic so was worried I'd not be able to handle them as much as they need. But seeing your routine makes me feel like I might could do it. They don't seem to need a lot of holding, although I wish I could hold them. Also, I'm watching this during the Coronavirus shelter-in-place and have been a little fearful and stressed lately worried about the economy crashing and all the people who are sick or worried. I'm not afraid for myself because as a prepper, I'm prepared. But my heart aches for all those who are more vulnerable. This video was just what I needed to lift my spirits. The sweetness and calmness of it was peaceful and welcome. Thank you, Jaime.
Your videos are so helpful and informative!! I'm in the beginning stages of figuring out which breed of chicks I should begin with. I'm in the Chicagoland area. Also, your voice is soothing. Great commentary skills!
Iam in kansas so it gets kind a cold here to i have peking bantams, silkys just for the fun they dont lay muhc and 2 road island reds wich are my hardcore layers everyday but eat like a horse; Bantys are very quiet.
If you look at Murray McMurray hatchery, they have a whole “profile”’for each breed that talks about their heartiness in cold, heat, their disposition, etc. It’s really helpful to choose a breed.
I love fooling with my four red leg horns. There’s something therapeutic about it. They are so funny. I use hemp in my coop. No odor, very little dust. I use a cat litter scoop from Walmart to pick up the poop each morning. Even that’s fun to me. I’m an old farm boy so it’s a little like going back to a time that was so much simpler. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I never knew there was such a thing as the portable solar electric fence setup. But I have been told there's a way or gadget you can use that automatically closes the henhouse door at a specific time. Sounds handy.
I just got a new chicken, she’s a bit skittish, but very friendly and cute. She’s a silkie, and we are getting her a coop sometime this week. Thankyou so much for showing me this!
Way different than what my chicken routine is. My chicks are put into areas throughout the day right now so I can move them around where I need them, but of course, I have to keep an eye on them so I usually do this in the evenings when I can sit outside and just watch them for a bit. I do like your solar-powered electric fence. Solar is definitely the way to go. Another gr8 video.
Mushroom is easily the cutest name for a chicken I have ever heard and she herself is absolutely adorable. Thanks for the video! I'm definitely going to try your coop spray. I love Dr. Bronners as is, so that sounds awesome!
Good times with the kids and chickens 🐓💕 I wish I could have had this life as a child on a small farm. I am definitely going to get me some chickens, Thanks for sharing your info about chickens, coops and cleaning products.
I am absolutely loving your extremely informative docuseries’ on the setting up, choosing and caring for your chickens. You go into all the detail that is really needed instead of just glossing over it. So very valuable as I am continuing my research in preparation for my next lot of chickens at my new property. Taking my time to do it properly this time and I want to build or have my nephew builder construct my coop with the plans I draw up once I have settled on the best style. That is the advice I am seeking from your videos too. The most user friendly/chook safe/friendly coop. Keep up the awesome videos. Ciao bella.
This is very handy. I have 2 Black Sumatra hens and I think this will really work for their health. Thankyou for posting this. You also have very nice hens. 😀
I don't know if chickens are too big to be effected by it but it's something worth considering. Hamster owners specifically avoid pine shavings because their strong scent causes respiratory problems. They usually recommend ceder shavings instead. Food for thought.
My chicken says ‘pretty birrrrrd’ repeatedly. She is the leader of the pack and always chats with me and comes to me hopping on my knee. I have her on video saying it. lol
Aww we have chickens and I really love that people take care of them and trust them! It was so cute when she was on your shoulder! Also I was thinking of Naming one of mine mushroom 🍄!
I love the name Mushroom for your bird. I will probably steal the name next Spring when I get my chic's. Also Diatomaceous Earth won't keep out bugs but it will kill them after contact. I suggest getting food grade Diatomaceous earth as the birds will eat some of it when they feed on the bugs.
Just found your channel. Well, I've seen a few links to it from other homestead channels. I'm still new to homesteading. Really like the two door system that you have. I just have the one door (chicken door is one the far side) makes it difficult to clean the coop door side. Two doors makes the job easy.
Thanks for the tips! I might try leaving a rubber glove with the cleaning bucket to pick the poop. Love the spray idea! I saw someone uses a specific sand and a kitty litter scoop
We've got 4 birds, Welsummer - Dottie, LegBar - Lexi, Buff-Sussex - Maisie, and Copper-Blue Maran/Legbar cross - Olive. Same as yours they're mad for treats, especially those mealworms and eat from our hands too. Just wish we could have translations of what they try to tell us every day ! Great videos, very informative, am building a semi-circular run extension using two old trampoline frames at the moment and I really like the vertical feeder idea !
Could you do a video about chicken care through the winter I live in Canada and was wondering if there's any special tips you have on keeping them warm, cozy and happy through the winter months as it can get quite cold here. Really want to get into backyard chickens but I wanna make sure I'm prepared! Love your videos!
what type of chicken is the one at 14:27 she looks just like my chicken but she was recommended by a worker at the place we got her (the black and white spotted one I mean)
This was great to watch… i do alot of the same things but i also have a pen to clean out … im curious how you deal with flies ? And also outside coop poop? ☺️ i have 8 chickens .. they poop so much lol
My little flock always got treats at a certain time every evening inside the coop. I never had to chase them down to put them up for the night, they were always waiting eagerly! They have an amazing internal clock 😎
Your videos are awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience and passion. Can you give some advise what to do when you want to go away for few days, please. How do you make sure that chickens survive while you're away from the farm for few days. Thanks a lot.
This is a fountain of knowledge! Thank you! I was wondering what I should do with a bullied chick. We took her out, because she lost feathers and had a bald neck. Now I don't know what to do with her. She seems very lonely. I want to put her back, ita only been two days, she just seems lonely. I have her in a cage in the porch, with two dogs and sometimes a cat, who roam around the house. I have been putting a hot water bottle in at night ...
Im amazed how good your grass in the run looks, my chooks have wrecked all the grass in their enclosure and they are only in it about two hours a day, we've had to replace it with wood chips!
Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living ah I see, we don’t have the space for that sadly but will keep it in mind for when we move to a larger property - thanks for the tip!
I showered your channel and can’t find anything about composting. Would you be so kind to put up a video about your bins, the basics, how to get started and maybe the do’s and donts. Thank you. We love your videos
We handled all of ours like babies from day 1. Orpingtons were always standoffish. The RI Reds were the friendliest, hop in your lap, ride your shoulders and want to share whatever we had. The longest lived one was an Orpington and when she was the last one then she accepted us and hung out with us for her final 2 years.
I appreciate your wonderful works! I remember last time you said to us that you used electric to prevent other animals to attack chicks! and what do you do for the hawk?
How has it worked out with Maple? Seemed reasonable, start with a minute, let her down when she really wants, slowly work up her tolerance. But I don't know much about chickens yet.
How long can you leave the spray out? Does it last a while in the sprayer? Is the Castile soap the unscented one? Also,do you clean the poop out of the coop daily? Thanks
How long after a fertilized eggs does it take to have baby chicks? Do need an incubator to put eggs in to hatch baby chicks? Where do I get an incubator and ow big and the cost? Thank

If you can “can” 100lbs of meat and stews, you can totally be a chicken slave, I mean overlord 😆
Chicken * Canning * Pig

We need a shirt for that.
I'm screaming at your daughter starting to sing panic! at the Disco to the chickens, did not expect that and made the video even better! 😂💜
Omg I love Mushroom! I want to get chickens so I'm watching a bunch of videos to get a feel for the amount of work involved and best practices. Thank you for sharing your chicken videos! ^_^
Kate I’m like you now! I’m watching every video I can

Z,,
Chickens are indeed the best pet i have 4 layers and 4 pullits. Truly a thrill
Beautiful video. It's amazing to watch them all go in like clockwork as soon as the sun sets. Used to think chickens were pretty dumb until I started raising them. Much more intelligent than first surmised. Thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to let you know...I finally got my chickens 🐔 today and I have learned so much from you the last 4 years.
Thanks
Look into the deep litter method as well.
We have 2 chickens just like mushroom. We named them Honey BBQ but we call her Honey B and Spicy Chicken. We don’t eat our chickens just named them after our favorite foods from Wendy’s. 😂 We love our chickies!
Are they Bantam chickens? Im just getting into chickens. Was told I got two Bantam Easter eggers. Just waiting for them to grow right now. Lol
@@HarvardRocker The are Easter eggers. We get light green eggs from them.
The chickens are like “It’s nice and clean let’s go poop”.
Exactly what my 4 yr old said 😂

This is old but thank you just for a simple day. I learned much.
I really enjoyed your touring of your chicken experience. Thank you for sharing your tricks I like them I’m going to use them. Thank you. 🙏💕

Good to see, thank you! We're getting our first chicks in a few weeks, and I've been excited and apprehensive all at the same time.
+Flyover Pilgrim oh yeaa! So much fun! Best of luck to you!
Great video, would love the ratio on the ingredients in the coop spray...please share if you don't mind.
I also would love the spray recipe! 🙏
please answer....we know you have lots of chores, like us!
I love your video's so much. I'm going back to the beginning! ❤️❤️❤️
Very EDUCATIONAL. Thank you for sharing
DO YUO HAVE A VIDEO ON YOUR COMPOST BINS!!!!! I LOVE THEM AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT. LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAIN THINGS.
I never knew there was such a thing as the portable solar electric fence setup.
But I have been told there's a way or gadget you can use that automatically closes the henhouse door at a specific time. Sounds handy.
Creative setup of the coop and video of how to maintain chickens, looking forward to getting my own when I move!
Just found your channel. Loved the comment about the chickens being “sassy in the mornings.”
thanks, its very relaxing 2 sit amongst them, dig a patch of soil so they can scratch around 2 get lovely eggs
I just got a new chicken, she’s a bit skittish, but very friendly and cute. She’s a silkie, and we are getting her a coop sometime this week. Thankyou so much for showing me this!

I love your natural spray for the coop. I have to put this together....thanks!
Your daughters are adorable. The chickens are very funny and so spoiled.🌸🌸🌸
I’m so happy! My mom says we’re gonna get a small farm or ranch in a couple of months! We’re getting chickens so this helps a lot! Thank you!
Yeaa congrats! You will love them 😊
Name them!
The white pne is so cute and mushroom is so funny I love your chickens so much

My blonde Pekin bantam Marigold always jumps up on me like your Easter egged Mushroom! Love my chickens!
Your videos are awesome and the family dynamic is beautiful!

Great Video! A great thing for children to experience when growing up! I love raising chickens!
Yes they love it as much as us. Thanks for watching
My chicken says ‘pretty birrrrrd’ repeatedly. She is the leader of the pack and always chats with me and comes to me hopping on my knee. I have her on video saying it. lol
What kind of chicken is she?? That sounds awesome
Link?
Aww we have chickens and I really love that people take care of them and trust them! It was so cute when she was on your shoulder! Also I was thinking of Naming one of mine mushroom 🍄!

Do you know why chicken coops only have 2 doors?.................if they had 4 doors it would be a sedan! ha!
Mike I Too funny! Love it!
Awesome video. Thanksgiving from Kelowna, BC, Canada 🇨🇦 🐔
Loved the video!! Fun to watch your girls getting treats!! You take great care of your chickens!! Thanks!
Ya it's becoming "expected" now lol. Spoiled birds. :0)

Thank you for doing this video. We just got our first chickens. I can't wait til they start laying.
I really benefit from your videos. I do have a question. With the hardwire cloth, it’s looks super secure. How did a black snake get in there???
Could you do a video about chicken care through the winter I live in Canada and was wondering if there's any special tips you have on keeping them warm, cozy and happy through the winter months as it can get quite cold here. Really want to get into backyard chickens but I wanna make sure I'm prepared! Love your videos!
Where are your nesting boxes? I love your video and have subscribed and given a thumbs up. :) have a great day and thank you for your coop tour.
Working on building our coop right now. What are the caps that you use to cover the food and what are they made of? Thanks for the help!
Do you have rough estimate on how much of each ingredient for that spray?
I love your videos. Great job!
i love how mushroom is always there LOL so cute!
what type of chicken is the one at 14:27 she looks just like my chicken but she was recommended by a worker at the place we got her (the black and white spotted one I mean)

This video is so helpful! We just built our 1st cool together and this is very informative!
Great looking Yard Birds very good Husbandry, thanks for sharing
I never knew they put themselves away at the end of the day so quickly. I guess the automated, timed doors make sence now.
My little flock always got treats at a certain time every evening inside the coop. I never had to chase them down to put them up for the night, they were always waiting eagerly! They have an amazing internal clock 😎
they are loved and they love back BRAVO
Your videos are awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience and passion. Can you give some advise what to do when you want to go away for few days, please. How do you make sure that chickens survive while you're away from the farm for few days. Thanks a lot.
LOVE GARY!! So beautiful, so sorry to hear about her! I love Silkies
This is a fountain of knowledge! Thank you! I was wondering what I should do with a bullied chick. We took her out, because she lost feathers and had a bald neck. Now I don't know what to do with her. She seems very lonely. I want to put her back, ita only been two days, she just seems lonely. I have her in a cage in the porch, with two dogs and sometimes a cat, who roam around the house. I have been putting a hot water bottle in at night ...
I love this! Your chickens love you.we recently got chickens and I know the basics but your videos will definitely teach me more.thanks!
+elvia luna Oh how much fun! Enjoy them!
potato chips for birds...nice..i started a tiny farm in ma house..thanks for the video...
Im amazed how good your grass in the run looks, my chooks have wrecked all the grass in their enclosure and they are only in it about two hours a day, we've had to replace it with wood chips!
You have to pasture rotate them to keep the grass healthy
Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living ah I see, we don’t have the space for that sadly but will keep it in mind for when we move to a larger property - thanks for the tip!
I like the coop where did you get it and the fence please let me know
Mushroom is so funny and expressive!
Love the chickens watching you clean! Too funny
What breed is that gorgeous black and white chicken at 16:17? She's striking.
Awesome! How old are the chickens here??
Cute, curious chickens. I love it!
Idea! rubber gloves would be faster...no balancing act on a spatula...what do you think?
I think I’d just get a cheap cat litter scoop.
I showered your channel and can’t find anything about composting. Would you be so kind to put up a video about your bins, the basics, how to get started and maybe the do’s and donts. Thank you. We love your videos
Good video- your human girls are so sweet.❤️❤️❤️
Hello. Just wondering if hawks would be a problem if there's not top cover
What are the ingredients you use in the spray to make it smell awesome? Dr. Bronner's mint soap +? thanks so much!
I was looking for this also
Found it in a previous reply
Coop spray
20 D lavender
1 TBS alcohol
2 TBS Dr. Bronners peppermint
4-5 C water
Starrider Brower what’s 20 D lavender?
Did you make their feed Feeder? Is there a video on that. Mine are still in their watermelon box and 3 weeks old. I'm a newbie.
Great greatings from the philippines
My Orpingtons are beautiful and friendly, but never let me pick them up. Is there a way to socialize chicks so they'll let you handle them?
We handled all of ours like babies from day 1. Orpingtons were always standoffish. The RI Reds were the friendliest, hop in your lap, ride your shoulders and want to share whatever we had. The longest lived one was an Orpington and when she was the last one then she accepted us and hung out with us for her final 2 years.
Thank you so much sweetheart for your educational videos
Mushroom is adorable! What kind of chicken is she? 💜
I love chicken,and i love when they go out free🥰
I appreciate your wonderful works! I remember last time you said to us that you used electric to prevent other animals to attack chicks! and what do you do for the hawk?
So cute! I'm getting my chicks tomorrow and I'm so excited!!
+Monica Mansfield Oh how much fun!
I love you coop! Did you build it or buy it? Is exactly what I’m looking. If store bought where did you get it. Love your videos.
How many drops of Lavender and how many drops of peppermint do you put in your coop sprayer?
How has it worked out with Maple? Seemed reasonable, start with a minute, let her down when she really wants, slowly work up her tolerance. But I don't know much about chickens yet.
How long can you leave the spray out? Does it last a while in the sprayer? Is the Castile soap the unscented one? Also,do you clean the poop out of the coop daily? Thanks
Thank you soooo much for this video! I love Silkie chickens. I’m getting one for my birthday!!😇
what would be nice is a live camera in the coop of the chickens for like a day. just a thought.
+michael adams - I know! :-)
I have a camera in the coop and one in the run. It makes me feel better to be able to check on them from anywhere.
Your chickens are so sweet! I had a dog named mushroom!
Such a great idea for the spray. Can you please share the recipe for it?
How long after a fertilized eggs does it take to have baby chicks? Do need an incubator to put eggs in to hatch baby chicks? Where do I get an incubator and ow big and the cost? Thank
What breeds are they? I recognize the silkie and what I think is a buff orpington, but what are the others? Especially Mushroom! :)
