If your not aware of this little trick already then I feel like I’m being helpful.. crush up the eggs shells and give them back to the chickens.. the eggs shells are a source of calcium which is needed for hens to lay eggs. If you don’t already do that then give it a try the hens will eats them only when they need calcium. Or you can get oyster shell from the feed store that works too.. I have quite a few chickens myself and they do eat eggs shells

@@SimpleLivingAlaska : Happy New Year 2021 to all! May you have happiness, peace and health all through this new year which is given to us according to the will of God. My biggest hope this year is that many more people will ask the Holy Spirit (the 3rd person of the trinity, God Spirit, the part of God who we all need, to reign in the Father and in the Son), to come and to invite Him in theirs heart so that He, the Holy Spirit, make them be more daring in pursuing the Word of God and to be more boastful in reaching those who are lost. To turn away from the things of the world and from everything that is now happening in the world, to ask the Holy Spirit to give us a peace that only God (Father, Son and Spirit) can give and provide for us. Not to abide in fear, or to be deceived by all that is sown on the population of this world, by dark spiritual forces, by many other means, by the media, and by many people who are not of God and don’t reside in Him. And finally, to shine as the light of Christ as His witness in the world, until we are united with Him in our permanent home, for this place is not our home. We all live in the world but we are not part of the world, we have been chosen and separated from the world by our Father that dwells in us. Let’s all live by example this year. For when we live in the Spirit of God, there is no fear or worry, and peace reigns in us. We must put our faith in Jesus Christ alone, and what He did on the cross for us, to glorify Him every day in all of our words, thoughts and actions, throughout the year, so that all who see us, can see Christ in us. I love you, you are all in my prayers everyday. Happy new year 2021

The first year we had chickens, I was giving eggs away, I had so many. Then just before Thanksgiving they quit laying. When they stated laying again, I beat up 1 egg, poured it into an ice cube tray. It fit exactly into the the cube. I then beat up more eggs, filled the tray and put it into the freezer overnight. Next morning I popped the egg cubes out and put them in a single layer in the freezer bags. When needed for baking, cooking, or for scrambled eggs or omelets, took the amount needed out of the bag, put the remaining back in the freezer. They worked great, never ran out of eggs again 🐓🐔👍👌 Have a blessed evening, stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰👍👌🙏🦅🔔🗽🇺🇸🙏

🐓 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔 Happy New Year to both of you & all the critters! I have an idea to help keep their water from freezing... Get a couple of large terracotta pots; one larger than the other so they will nest together; install dirt in between the two pots for insulation; and get, find, cut a larger round ceramic tile to cover the smaller pot & then some. Now, grab some rounded river stones (enough to fill the pot twice.) Here's the magic, heat the hell out of the stones inside your wood stove! Probably best in a large steel can. When good & hot, take it out & with an oven glove move the stones into the pot & cover with the ceramic tile. Now put the water back on the cover. Stones should stay hot for a long time & keep the water from freezing! While those stones are keeping the water warm, heat up the next batch & swap them back & forth as needed. The idea here is that those stones have a lot of thermal mass, & the pots with dirt between them provide insulation (also thru thermal mass storage) ... the heat rises & warms the bottom of the water bowl. Hope this helps...

Icelandics are super hardy birds. Poultry are "hot" naturally. I have a nice vent up high but partially cover it with a board when we are expecting a big snow (like tomorrow and Wed) and will uncover once we have regular midwest temps. Fermenting feed is the best way to extend seed feed for livestock - pigs and chickens. I add a 75w bulb in January/February especially if I have late summer chicks, that way pullet eggs happen in winter. Your coop is a very nice size and could hold more chickens easily. I have 45 chickens in an 8x5 with very good success. 💖 those omlettes look delish!

Eric mentioned an electric fence when talking about the lighting in the coop - even during the times it isn't live, the fence is usually an effective deterrent for land predators. Full-grown chickens (especially these robust ones) are pretty safe from birds of prey but the chicks and juveniles are vulnerable. Assuming the gaps in the fence wire are small, it will keep virtually all land predators out. The smaller the better because weasels and mink are crafty little bastards and can squeeze through. Make sure the netting comes down to the ground and maybe even buried a little to prevent any digging to get past the wire. In Alaska, they also don't need to worry about snakes big enough to eat their flock. Bears hibernate in the winter (so no threat) and the fence would be electrified the rest of the year. For those thinking of polar bears being a risk, they don't live in the boreal forest like Eric and Ariel - they leave near huge bodies of water. Their biggest annoyance will pretty much be everyone's who keeps chickens... raccoons. Raccoons will be the smartest predator to deal with because they can actively climb fencing - thankfully electric fencing stops that. All the other land predators aren't able to scale the fence but raccoons can.

Those Chickens are so happy, yummy eggs that brekie was yummy... Cookbook guy's hint hint. Australia here I thought when American's or Alaskan people say "peanut butter and jelly sandwiches you actually put wobbly jelly in the sandwich not jam. Then when you said coffee and cream you actually use cream omg shocked. Maybe I don't get out much lol. Love you both , I hope 2021 is a great year for you both. Hugs xx

I see you really LOVE your chickens. I do also, my job as a child was to take care of them & I have always loved them so much.

I really enjoy your videos. I had a sister that lived here from 1981- 2000. She had chickens, sheep, horses and a huge garden and greenhouse where she sold organic veggies in the markets.. I was always surprised how the chickens did in the minus temperatures. I worked on a chicken farm for three years in high school so there are no chickens in our house.I was always the guy that butcher their sheep for them. We have someone with chickens around here because them damn roosters wake my retired ass up on those summer mornings when we have the windows open.

I so enjoyed this video. That’s smile on your face as you are feeding them ‘self serve’ says it all. Pure joy! While I’m sitting here watching my sister is baking some fresh yeast bread. I felt as if I was right there with you feeding your chickens!

I LOVE your chickens! And you care for them so well! Just one question, though; do you have any problems with predators and if so, how do you deal with them?

I have stopped feeding my starter and keep it in the fridge. No discard to manage and the culture revives in hours with warm flour slurry.

@@wisconsinfarmer4742 I keep mine in the refrigerator too, but I still have discards that I don't want to go to waste so I'm looking for ideas. I made crackers last night, which were easy, so I'll probably experiment with that a little.

Very intelligently done. I was looking for all the cold weather points of chicken keeping, and you touched on all of them. Just a general rule of thumb in case anybody is wondering: the recommended guideline for coop size is 4 sqft of floor space per chicken. But that is flexible depending on how large the run is vs how much time your chickens are spending strictly indoors. So if you have covered outdoor shelter, like the lean-to or a porch for your coop so they'll go out even in snow, you can fudge coop size a bit without issue.
