How much do you feed them per day?
well I didn’t want the peta crew on youtube after me every night..lol
You Should Make A Video Of You Killing One Or Show How to Clean it
@caliherbs I ate them…but I have paid 17us dollars on the average price
at any farmers market….that is the going rate in this area.
@overunitydotcom We sell baby chics & laying hens ……….. most the time
1 rooster with 2 hens is the popular one these days. Plus I have my
favorites as pets just for fun.
@YabbaGo no, never why would you say that…..and no i am not paranoid!
She said “look at all that Shit!”
Well thanks! The doors are a pain but it still works.
@shortystuff47 Yeah..its hard…I read thats how it always is..but dang the
best meat ever!..lol
@london1817 Really?! You eat them? :O
@lovesmarilyn oh thy grow fast! We got silkies at the same time and they
are still babies!
@hallnoats4ever I have always had a giant garden and an orchard but its not
enough because stuff only grows certain times of the year.
@allamericanTRAPPER zip lock freezer bags.
I’m thinking about raising some of these birds. About how many pounds of
starter and grower does it take to get them to 9 weeks? Also, how many
pounds are they at 9 weeks?
You think they stink, turkeys stink really bad, I had meat chicken’s and I
had turkey’s and they stink bad.
this video helped us alot, we were wondering why they were growing so fast.
Guess they do!
@london1817 I may say it but it wouldn’t be true!
well, this video is old…I didn’t want to put that part up.
I got PETA swingin
yes sir…WHOO they are stinkers! & when you try to feed them they go crazy
and almost get you!
“They would have won the smell-a-thon”- Rick.
Props for the good living conditions and not abusing them.
@london1817 I would have a garden. But after a while I would probably go
out and kill some meat.
@ZunnieShine well…not every night. best chicken you ever ate.
good to know…I almost got some turkeys the other day!!
Thank you!
I just give u a great big round of applause! It is beautiful! And, a great
video too! SUBSCRIBED!
U go girl!
you are an awesome builder!
I had the same concerns and the vinyl floor has worked out great. The
chickens don’t slip on it. I keep plenty of straw and wood chips on the
floor and the floor cleans up easily. The poop doesn’t stick to it like it
would if it was just a wood floor.
I am working on a design for new chicken house. You mention that you put
vinyl floor covering over your plywood floor. How do you think this is
working out for the chickens? Any problems with them moving about on the
vinyl…such as slipping or hurting their feet or legs particularly when
jumping on or off their roosts?
In a word “Impressive!
My sister has about 30 and everyday she spends at least 30-45 minutes just
sitting in the pen and watching them. A lot of “chicken pen politics” go
on. You’d be amazed at their little chicken society. They really do have a
pecking order!!
Just wondered where this is? There doesn’t seem to be any concessions made
to the weather. I live in St. Augustine, fl. and am ready to build and like
your design, but wonder about ventilation and insulation. Do you get any
temp. extremes where you are.? If you are close enuf to me could I come
visit if I get in a bind?
I am not doing anywhere at good as you – this is sooo frusterating never
having done anything like this before – can you tell me how is the door
made.. do you have 2×4 on the backside?
holy moley, you are an inspiration and def a motivator! I’ve been trying to
work out in my mind a design for my little gardens that will conserve water
IN the garden instead of it running out to the yard. compared to this
project, mine is minor!
Thank you, the chicken house has worked out well.
What a great job you did.
imstillworkin, you have a beautiful chicken house, why it is nice enough to
be used as a bug out retreat:) Very nice workladyship, and it does help.
God bless you and yours !
The wood has been treated to resist rotting while it is exposed to the
elements outdoors. They call it “salt treated wood”.
I’ve thought that this design could be used for something like that. The
storage area could be used as a loft for a bed and there’s enough room for
most essentials in there.
Thank you, the hard part was figuring out just how I wanted that chicken
house and where I wanted it. I’m happy to say that I don’t have any
regrets. It’s worked out nicely and it’s close enough to the house that I
can keep an eye on the chickens.
You did a fine job building that coop..
Out of square after the fact ain’t so bad but out of square while you’re
doing it sure makes life hard, lol.
Thanks, I’m surprised I remembered how I built it. I usually can’t remember
what I did yesterday.
Hmmm…guess we’re all getting our education via utube!! I did the exact
same thing the other day when I was sewing some maternity pants for my
daughter…heeheee….I was cutting down a ready made pair of pants and
sewing a belly band to them and stopped and got on utube to see how it was
finished out. Worked perfectly!! Oops…we’ve let our little secret out
now…..
I know it has been said before, but I have to comment. YOU ARE AMAZING. I
like to think I’m pretty DIY orientated but I would never have the courage
or the talent to attempt something like this. YOU ARE MY HERO! You inspire
me to go out of my comfort zone and try something like this. God bless!
Unbelievable.
It would be a good way to re-purpose the glass from picture frames, say
from the thrift store or some such or if you were to have some just lying
around, as that’s a standard frame size.
LOL, I caught grief over my chicken and rice video because I was cooking
chicken and showed grandbaby playing with the chickens. I can only imagine
what would happen if I made a video of actually putting that rooster in a
pot. LOL. Note to vegetarians: If you have something against eating meat,
don’t watch videos called “Chicken and Rice” LOL.
