Up in the north its gets so cold in winter. A neighbor had no bedding in coop and the chickens were injured. Basically, know what you are dealing with and act accordingly. I use fine pine and clean daily. Coop stays dry and smells good

Does fresh corn cause the same issue as cracked corn? I’m a new chicken mama and have 9 hens. They just started laying eggs last week and all the eggs seem really healthy. But I have been giving them fresh corn on the cob each week.

I laughed out loud when you said your chickens lay in the same nesting box even though there is more than one box. Our chickens do the same thing. I have gone into the coup and there will be a chicken standing outside the "preferred" nesting box, squawking at the chicken in the box like she is telling her to get out. Hilarious! Something I have done to help keep a cleaner coup - Got a piece of vinyl flooring (about 3 x 5), put large grommets in one end and hung it on nails behind the roost. I can take it down and power wash it when needed.

Brother, you need to hear this, because I believe its the truth. I am pretty sure that you are getting targeted by Chinese bots, with their war on us as a nation has led them to doing a great many number of insane things, they are also trying to eradicate anything Falun Gong, maybe they are reading your transcripts (bots) and are picking up on the correlation between your words, and the beliefs of Falun Gong. And are just trying to nuke you out of existence. I believe that this is the most likely scenario happening behind the scenes. There are a lot of other youtubers like The Why Files who have mentioned how they hit his channel hard and when they did they were like locusts.

Diatomaceous earth works by cutting the exoskeletons and dehydrating the creature. It can be mixed in to feed to eventually kill the bugs feeding on it, but it will not work in a chicken internally. Blood sucking mites actually live mostly in arid climates, but lice can occur anywhere. I suggest treating the coop every three months with permethrin and dusting once a month with diatomaceous earth. Its been really dry here lately, so I should go check for all the boogers.

Do you put shavings or something in nest box? I saw several people make their food from several grains and etc. so you don't recommend this? And I'm still waiting on an egg, they are over 18 weeks. :)

Hi Eric, one thing I do is I have herbs growing around the perimeter of my run. Oregano, thyme, rosemary, mint and some sage. As the herbs grow, the stems go thru the run fencing and the girls feast on them periodically. These herbs are perennials so once I got them planted they keep coming back as long as I keep them watered. You could also plant some plants inside your run area with some wire caging around them to keep them from over munching as they get established. Once they are established, they will spill out thru the wire and provide your chickies with some good health benefits.

Cedar shavings should not be used with any poultry, but they DO inhibit the breeding of insects.
Glad you’ve only got a shy dozen.

just building my coup now, being in Canada. some things i gotta do differently. i have an animal sanctuary here and was recently given a huge truckload of 6ft by 6ft interlocking cage fencing, enough to do 40ft by 40ft area roughly , including a ceiling to eliminate sky predators, this was my starting point..and my hen area is working out similar to yours,..thanks for the vid..its my reference point now

Do you have any good ideas to keep flies at bay in the coop? Im constantly battling them all summer. Even cleaning every morning doesn't stay ahead of them.

Eric,
Let me tell you how to break a dog from killing chickens.
Years ago I had a dog that would kill a neighbors chickens.
He came to me and told me that my dog had killed 2 of his chickens and the next time he caught my dog, he was going to shoot my dog.
I paid him for the 2 chickens that my dog killed.
The very next day my dog came home with a dead chicken.
I didn’t know what to do so I called my grandma.
She told me to tie that dead chicken around my dogs neck and leave it tied to my dog until the chicken was literally rotting off the rope around my dogs neck.
I did exactly what my grandma told me to do.
After a couple of weeks that chicken was rancid and my dog hated it.
During those weeks I wasn’t mean to my dog but he wasn’t allowed in the house and no other domestic animal would stay around him.
By the time that chicken was literally rotting off the rope, my dog didn’t want anything to do with a chicken.
My grandma was right and that’s how you break a dog of killing chickens.
From then on when that dog saw a chicken, he’d go in the opposite direction.
Try it, it works !

Thanks Eric, great info... weve got a dirt floor coop, so habr to keep some sort of shavings or the like... straw is my most hated and we get natural untreated pine shavings from some friends... and clean it regularly.
Love the info - Blessings ❤

Lay out 4 x 8 plyboards for your chickens. Every few days depending on ground dampness flip one over to provide excellent bounty of creepy crawlers with no digging ! In dry areas try watering your boards for better production.

Thanks for the tips. If you add colloidal silver 1-cup to 1-gallon of water prevents so many diseases.

good tips but I will make the case for pine shavings in a coop not so much for the chicken health but for the ease of you. You get ready made compost as you have the carbon already being mixed with the high ammonia chicken crap. I also think the pine sap is a natural disinfectant so it seems to cut down on bugs and helps with the smell

🦋🇺🇸Good Morning Everyone. Question 🙋♀️? My Daughter had bought Chickens to help with the increasing Price of Eggs to feed a family of 7. But she is saying it’s actually costing more to keep the chickens healthy. Maybe she is doing to much. Any Advice?
