Caring For Backyard Chickens and Introducing My New DOG!

avatar

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I'm raising backyard chickens on the homestead, so it's important to have a care routine. I go over my morning chicken care routine and how I feed leftover food scraps to my chickens. I also picked up some baby chicks that I will be having updates on in videos to come! If you are interested in raising backyard chickens, make sure to check out my: Raising Backyard Chickens Bundle at https://shop.gubbahomestead.com/

Yes, I got little chicks at the store lol and soon I'll have a long video about my own eggs I hatched!

Chickens definitely love to ✨sing✨ and let you know that they just laid an egg.

We actually did stumble upon some drama in this video because my leghorns (my first initial flock who are the meanest chickens ever) were bullying my sweet other girls in the nesting boxes! There were other boxes available and they just stood there and stared/pecked. Laying eggs is suppose to be peaceful, but I’m convinced my leghorns are just big bullies.

I think it is also interesting that my girls inherently knew to go to these boxes to lay eggs. I never put them in there or even used pretend eggs to get them in there. I just put straw down, and one day a chicken ended up in there laying an egg!

I had a similar experience with white leghorns, which were my first flock here. Those birds were so mean, they didn't even like each other! They harassed all the other chickens I brought so much, I had to put them in their own enclosure.

Yep the bees are so chill and the honey they provide is AMAZING! lol
It's one of my favorite places to spend time on the homestead.
