info

Here’s the info 🐔👇🐔👇 Broody hens are hens who are acting maternal. They sit on the nest, act crazy or just lay on the ground when you take them off the nest, and just want to sit on eggs so they hatch. First time broody hens don’t always make great moms. But, sometimes they do! If a hen is broody, I will usually give her a couple weeks on the nest before giving her chicks. Hens don’t always take to the chicks. Pick a day when you’ll be available to intervene if it goes bad. Give them space but peak in the door now and then. Let her sit on them overnight and even the next day with out disturbing them. It works best with chicks who are brand new. Another downfall…these hen raised chicks aren’t going to be your best friend. They tend to run from you for a long time haha! #hens#broodyhens#chickens#addingtotheflock#flock#newflockmember#flockintegration#chickenkeeping#hensandchicks#chickadoption#purelychickensoriginal sound

Routine typed out: 👇⬇️ Daily: Sift 💩, collect/store eggs, check food/water, hang out with the chickens. I have an autodoor so they get in and out on their own. (10-15 min) Weekly: Sift sand, fill feed/water. (15 min) Monthly: Health checks, buy feed & supplies, resist the urge to buy more chickens. (1 hour) Yearly: Two big clean outs a year, winter/summer prep, integrate new chickens if adding more, deal with parasites/injuries/illness if it pops up, landscaping, complete some kind of project that may or may not be necessary lol! (Varies) This small (smaller than my other one that is) coop is great for 5-10 regular sized hens as long as the run is bigger. Bantams are half that size so you can double it! I had it built and don’t have the plans. He did say he’s working on some so fingers crossed! Who wants to see routine for my big flock?! #coop #coops #cooproutine #purelychickens #chickencoop #chickencoops

Supplies are linked below! Steps to screenshot: 1. Soak seeds overnight. I like clover, alfalfa, broccoli 2. Rinse and drain the seeds once or twice a day. You want them to stay damp. 3. Feed them to the chickens anytime after they sprout. I like day 6! 4. Wash the jar and start again! Favorites to try… 🌱Quinoa: great for muscle development and egg production 🌱Alfalfa: high in protein and vitamin A 🌱Clover: vitamin B, fiber and iron 🌱Broccoli: anti inflammatory and antioxidants #chickenfood #sprouting #chickentreats #chickensprouts

You’ll find these heaters and all my winter supplies linked in my bio. The TV looking one is linked in this video. I’m not a fan of using red heat lamps in a coop/barn/garage/house. They cause more fires than you would think. Even if you have it secure! Plus the chickens don’t usually need that kind of extreme heat. If you are on the fence, please watch my heat lamp highlight (not here…you know where) Radiant heaters are a great option because they aren’t a fire hazard like heat lamps. They don’t make the coop cozy warm which means if the power goes out, the chickens will still be ok and able to acclimate. #chickens #chickencoop #heatlamp #chickencoopheater
