    I love my mini raptors 😍 ❤️ 💕
    They are so beautiful & all have characters of their own. They lay about 2 eggs a day. 🥰
    I love hanging out, playing, petting & hugging them. Very smart little creatures & quick learners. ❤

    I believe the reason that chickens don't lay eggs in winter is that mother nature tells them it's too cold for chicks to survive so why waste their time. Very few animals have their babies in the winter, we are the only ones who think they need to😊

      It's all about light AND protein. I get eggs all year round. Mine a rescued battrey hens. Hybrids with the brood bred out of them. But when the daylight hours reduce so do the eggs.

    I give them leftover greens and veggies. And some other treats. Never had a problem during winter.

    The white chickens shown In the video are meat birds and generally don't lay eggs. They look like they're molting, but they have less feathers because they grow so fast.

    My guess would be they walk up to the chicken and say. Lay more eggs or go on the dinner table

    In comershal hatcheries they make 2 day's into 3 by switching the lights off and on 3 times in 48 hours making 2 days 3 3 eggs instead of 2

    Cat food wet or dry is a great protein boost when going into the molt or fall.
    Chickens are omnivores not herbivores.

    My chickens moult. For 4 to 5 weeks when the feathers are in they lay again. Sometimes
    Just rid the coop of excess roos and the girls lay more.
    I allow 1 roo per coop.

    If you let your chickens free range with access to dropped fruit, any plants in the pasture, bugs in the large animal manure and still provide layer feed (I provide 22%), with scratch grains, sunflower seeds, solder fly larva, and of course kitchen scraps… oh and heat lamps in the coop during winter… you will always have eggs! At the 3 year mark… they take a one way trip to the freezer.

    Chickens have a certain amount of eggs and no more something around 300. I think it is.
    If you push the chickens, you’re just pushing more life without Eggs at the end, not to mention not giving them a break .

    Dude, I've got some advice for you. If you are going to focus on Amish practices, you should do better at limiting your clips to Amish people. Like the two men in your title shot are NOT Amish. Comments about your other videos vary from your being deceitful to the Amish are no different from the rest of us and this is Amish propaganda.

      I wonder if he knows you can get sued for using movie clips belonging to someone else ! And the Amish in this video are all from movie clips not real Amish. Makes me wonder if he just read about the Amish and probably not researched or interviewed any Amish in person. Well I hope ya don't get sued buddy ! And yes I know many Amish. I got to be close friends when I used to be a horse shoer (Farrier) and when they discovered I also was a good Blacksmith and could Hot shoe then we really had a lot in common and have been close every since.

    • @jayejaycurry5485
      @jayejaycurry5485 Місяць тому

      @hereintherealworld...9433 Whether or not one can be sued for using film clips depends on the source of the film clip. If it's pri stely owned, then maybe. But some are open sourced and free to be used without paying royalty.
