So.. this is a chicken tractor yes ?? and if so , will that spot be where you will have your garden?? I noticed a chain link fence , is that your property line?? do you have a rough plan on paper of where you would like everything in the future to be situated ? It looks to me like your daughters really likes chickens, do you think she might like rabbits too, I mean there about the same size , and dad could make the hutches .. She might even like growing meal worms.. You front garden there looks like a great place to grow edible flowers or vegies..I'm sorry I just like asking questions....

Reply daniel behm daniel behm1 month ago Love the chickens watching you clean! Too funny Reply 2 bigchunk1 bigchunk11 month ago Why do you use an electrified fence to keep your chickens in? Reply Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living1 month ago +bigchunk1 It's not so much to keep the chickens in as it is to keep predators away from them. Works great. Reply 2 bigchunk1 bigchunk11 month ago +Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Oh, ok good point.

Reply 1 Yankee Liv'n Yankee Liv'n2 months ago Great looking Yard Birds very good Husbandry, thanks for sharing Reply 1 Maurice Brown Maurice Brown3 days ago let me just add , another couple of angle pipes for the feeders and a flip down lid on a bungy means you wont have to go into the run as often, also pipes with spring chicken nipples will help with the water, last but not least a pulley on the door connected to the outside means you can open and close it without going inside to...... Reply Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living3 days ago Oh I love going in and interacting with the birds. I don't want to automate it too much (at least at this point). I still have to go in to clean the coop anyway. Chores really only take about 10-15 min anyway. We are going to build a bucket with chicken nipples and see how that works. Thanks for the tips! Reply lbsmith83 lbsmith831 week ago Thank you so very much. Reply bushcraft2012 bushcraft20121 month ago 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. Reply 2 Courtney Frock Courtney Frock3 days ago might consider sand for the substrate in the coop :) Reply Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living3 days ago +Courtney Frock We did consider it but its too heavy for a mobile coop. The pine shavings are light and work really well. Thanks for the suggestion! Reply Will Hutch Will Hutch2 days ago Thinking about getting a few myself how much time on average to you spend each day on them ? Reply Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living2 days ago +Will Hutch 10-15 min Reply 1 kyRRrider kyRRrider1 month ago Your chickens are more out going than mine. Mine do run run to me when I walk out the door, thinking they may get a treat. I need to get them some mill worms, they seam to like them. Great video. Reply 1 Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living1 month ago +kyRRrider They LOVE them! Reply MrTrekFanDan MrTrekFanDan1 month ago Chicks are like puppy's and kittens, very cute and needy. As chicks get older they slowly turn into velociraptors so don't turn you back on them ;-)....But seriously, we thought Buffs were a 'nice' breed... but the ISA Browns are amazingly docile and they will follow you around so closely, they will literally get under foot. They are great layers, an egg a day (currently adding two hours of p.m. light in the coop), but only medium size brown eggs.

We get them anyway in our composter sometimes. It is definitely a great idea no matter what the worm/larvae! Reply Candi Monster23 Candi Monster231 month ago Well they say great minds think alike! Lol good luck with it I hope it works out, anyway to save money is great! I love your videos and cant wait see more.

We appreciate all opportunities to expand our knowledge :0) Reply lbsmith83 lbsmith831 week ago What is the coop spray that you used? Is it essential oil? Reply Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living1 week ago (edited) It is 20 drops lavender essential oil, 1 tbsp alcohol, 2 tbsp dr bronners peppermint castile soap and 4-5 cups water Reply lbsmith83 lbsmith831 week ago Did you make the coop spray, if so what is your recipe. I have started cleaning my coop like you do after I have seen your video. I love your videos.
