- This is one clip in a series of videos demonstrating how Kingbird Farm, a certified organic diversified small farm in Berkshire, NY, produces eggs from pastured laying hens. This clip is from the Video Mentor series, produced by the Cornell Small Farms Program (nebeginningfarm...), filmed and edited by Peter Carroll of Ithaca, NY. This project was supported by the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP) of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, USDA, Grant # 2009-49400-05878.
I have started a simmilar project in Kenya, Africa, and belive me using this natural system up to the level Kingbird farm has done is not as easy. Kudos to Karma, Mike and Rozzy and especially for sharing these insightful videos. My dream is to visit Kingbird farm and learn how to make a feather plucker or purchase one and also buy a simmilar hatchery. I look forward to learning about the correct pure breed for broilers
hens are beautiful, cows are beautiful, horses are beautiful, farm area is beautiful......i just want to say i fell in love with ur farm...so beautiful and complete nature's beauty
im a newbie in raising chicken and this is very informative thank you maam
Incredibly interesting video, and very informative. I wish you had said more about what you are able to charge for your eggs. Many of us really wish our food supply infrastructure would all operate as you do, but the challenge is that people are unwilling to pay the real cost of real food. In Sam's club, you can get a huge, roasted, ready to eat full chicken for $4. Ready to eat, just take it home and put it on the table. A frozen organic chicken which is much smaller can cost $25. The problem, few people are willing to pay this, and hence it is hard to develop a robust natural food supply system. I pay the extra to get real food, but few people appear willing to.
Very informative,
You've got yourself a new subscriber.
Excellent job! Keep up the good work!! I will never buy a factory farmed eggs anymore, only farmed raised. In the scheme of things, they are actually not that expensive, but relatively cheap. First of all, they don't even taste good; secondly, I want to support the practice of natural farming. Thanks for keeping it going!!!!
Best farm egg management video I have seen yet. Thank you.
Love those chickens. They are so beautiful! And well kept.
Very nicely done, I am going to have to watch this again, yes, I liked that well. I truly found this to be full of information. Way to go :-)
Tremendous work of feeding the world
Every time I watch this, I want more.
i love your way of farming.
great video and thanks for all the hard work you do,
Sizin gibi insanlara hayranım bravo sizin gibi çalışkan ve işini seven bir eşim olsaydı..
A couple reasons that checking the width between the pinbones can still give culls with eggs inside: when hens stop laying to go through the molt, the abdomen shrinks and the bones can become less flexible and move closer together again. In other words, those hens with close pinbones and eggs inside were probably on the verge of begining, or had just started laying again.
These birds are banded, so they know the age, but pullets at the point of lay will obviously still have a close spacing between the pin bones as well.
Nice to see happy chickens!
Great video and great people too i loved it. I have 7 hens and I love them. Great job u guys. That is one of my biggest dreams, to have my own farm. Thank u
Wish I could spend some weeks there! Really nice place, beautiful hens! Nice work!
A cheap alternative to plastic tarps (free) is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane, epdm. Most commercial roofers will give it away from their roof replacement projects. Its costs money for them to dispose of it and it would last nearly forever for your purposes. Also by doing so you would be keeping it out of the landfills. regards, L
wow that supermarket even makes you stock their shelves, win win for them
I like the moveable fence,I could use that where I work.I need something inexpensive,easy,yet easy on the ewyes
Wonderful video. I'd just like to say, thank you for what you do.
This is an excellent video!
Absolutely Loved the video. It was Very thoroughly explained thank you. May I suggest you have that you adopt using a couple of goats in with the cow's to drop the forage that the cows won't eat. This way you will have extra money from the goat meat, plus milk from the nanny :) God bless you and your family.
You can get that at Premier1 Supplies--poultry net. It is electrified if you buy the charger. We use this at our little homestead with a solar charger and we love it! Haven't lost a chicken in the almost 3 years that we've been using it!
awesome operation! thank you for your expertise
Thanks for sharing. Very imformative video. Aloha
Excelente mente idonea expresión de la creatividad idonea del ser felicidades
Great job, lovely farm.
Thanks for a really informative video!!
I love what you are doing
Great bussiness promote videos..... Thanks a lot dear.........
I thought she said "worship" but the context made its due. Strange :/ Anyway, this is, by far, the best video about egg production I've seen in UA-cam so far. And I've seen lots of them.Congrats!!
very interesting, entertaining and fun to do!!
chichen rising farm and egg production is impressive business
Great Video
Very nice good information to know
Amazing farmer. Ideal farm youd want to get your meat and eggs from.
Very very good information mam👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳
the other people like me that really care about what they put in their body will not go for cheap eggs I want the good quality eggs that are free range and feed bad things were birds are stressed and never see sunlight your doing great
Hello from morocco thanks for this vidéo i like or i hope one day To ne one like oui thanks for yours advices
its very nice i love this vid and i'm crazy about chiken farming.
this is beautiful
Is the price for eggs you sell at the farmers market higher than the price you receive for the eggs you sell to the supermarket?. I'm thinking that is so, however do you get any grousing from the supermarket for that practice?
BeAuTiFuL
No they are Black Australorps! Great egg layers large brown eggs ! Up to 5-6 eggs a week and there dual purpose .
Very informative!! Thank you
sounds really good.
wow,my dear madam.fine job
thanks for the video, I appreciate if you help me with the reference of the incubator, and the device to know if the egg is fertile. regards
Premiere makes the best kind that I know of. Unfortunately the highest is 4'.
What happen if the chicken decided to give their bands to younger chicken?
@jakerichardson98 They're experimenting with breeding broilers, but it's a lot more complicated as the economically viable commercial breeds aren't heritage breeds, so it's hard to get a stable, consistent breed produced on-farm.
Thanks sister u give me good information I want more information to u so plz add me on Whatsapp number 00923339421160..I m waiting
Nice job
Thanks for all you do to produce quality eggs. I've been looking for eggs that have been produced in a humane way and grass fed. In the super market (kroger) all I see is grain fed although they are claiming to be organic. But i want eggs from free range grass fed chickens . If I see Kingbird farms eggs ..i will buy them. I have paid up to $5.69 for a dozen of eggs that were organic but not grass fed.
Hi, Mike and Karma. We're still learning from you guys! Question: how do you deal with rodent problems with permanent housing. We leave our feeders in one place for more than about 1 month, the rodents (esp. rats) find it.
one gets more egg production in the warmer states and territories including the Alaskan summer ( it has long summer days/hours ) and yes Canada's north also.
Hi - how do you deal with predation on your free ranging birds? Any problems with weasels, raccoons, foxes, hawks, etc? Thanks - and thanks for the informative videos!
i love this really really very nice
how you know the difference between layer chicks and broiler chicks?
How can you tell who's laying and who isn't? I've got 18 hens and the only way I know who's laying is because I only have one of each like leghorn and Amercuana.
Would be nice if these people who post videos would answer your questions lol
Which breed is your Broilers? btw I have allot of respect for the way you are raising them you seem very compassionate.
thanks sister good info
I like this farm
Thank you))) nice video )))
Hello ..nice video very informative ..from where I can buy that type fence and what it call and how much the price...?
Do u sell the eggs directly to bakery?
What breed of hens, thank you.
@kevreilly7 She did say they were processed in to stew hens.
Thank you for posting.
An advise for a beginner? I'm thinking about a hundred.
I just wanted you to know that while I am not in your neck of the woods, I ONLY buy small farm/csa organic, pastured eggs at the grocery store. It's worth $3.99/dozen to get a much better tasting egg with a tighter yolk with more positive health benefits than negative. I'll never eat a cage factory egg again.
What feeds do u used for your chickens maam?
GRANDE MULHER!!
excellent & awesome black American breed chickens eggs production & sale # ❤️❤️👍 but validity of eggs 5 weeks from the date of packaging is high & as i understand it should be not more than 20 days #👍👍
Have they tried feeding black soldier fly larvae to the chickens?
I am assuming culled is a nice way of saying killed
You know your stuff.
How , old would be the one's, you'd cull? even if they laying eggs?
Sorry for a dumb question from a concrete dweller, how do you know if a egg is fertile or not if the expiry date is 5 weeks as mentioned in the video?
The expiry date is not relevant to the fertile/not fertile issue. If the hen is accessible to a rooster, the egg is presumed fertilized. If a rooster can't get to the hen, the egg can't be fertilized. Unless of course the farmer leaves rooster condoms in the hen house, the roosters have taken vows of celibacy, or the hens' mom won't let her out of her sight.
You mentioned using band to mark the different generations/age of the chickens, what type of bands do you use to mark your chickens?
Hey, Rafael. You can buy bands at some feed stores or you can order them online. A lot of the time the bands have numbers on them OR they're just a specific color to mark which generation is which. I hope that helps to answer your question! :)
I wonder if you can help me I bought some Chickens 4 of them and I don't know what their ages but they live to be a bit older I'm getting eggs from two of them but not the other two not sure how old they are or how productive they are how can I tell
hi good job I like it I'd like to do some thenk like that in Iraq what do you think
what breed of chicken are these and type of feed u use for best amt of egg numbers.thnx
Do you do all of your butchering
good starting... i like chicken farming.
what food do you give your chickens so that they laid with out a rooster
Nice
how farming should be --- kudos
muy bueno gracias
nice!
Do they breed their own broilers to?
Wondering what the name of those moveable fences are. Thx!
I am starting a free range poultry fram, how much should i sell them for?
Hi!how much is the feed consumption per hen daily and egg production rate?
Hey, Joebel. At egg producing age a chicken can eat 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound per day and 2-4 cups of water.
nice one
Boy, do chikens LOVE t'scratch up a cow-flop!!
how do you licences your self to sell eggs. am thinking of making my own free range chicken farm of 450 chickens.
Anyone know where I can find the genetic descendants of the Cornell endurance layers from back in the day?... or other great developed lines of Layer/Foragers? Thank you.
DeAsUnJa any heritage bird will do both pretty well but the Australorp is great layer and forger I would say as far as heritage birds the best duel purpose bird you can get. Their are hybrids that will out produce and their are meat birds that will out grow but, it just depends on what you want.
Madam where is the place
What kind of fence do you use for the chickens
