  1. My Grandmother would order 150 chicks at a time. We had a spare room we
    used as a brooder box/room. Covered the floor with news paper, put in 3 or
    4 heat laps and kept them inside until they started developing feathers
    then we moved them to their coop and pen in the yard for more room. I loved
    it and will retire on a farm.

  4. Great info on chickens, we only have two right now, we live in a
    subdivision. We did lose one to a opossum just a couple of weeks ago. She
    was the dominate one. They other two seem to miss her.

  5. I got 2 chickens and my kids (8 and 10) love that. Since I got them, there
    are laying everyday, which is wonderfu! My kids love to play with them and
    they give them little bugs and earthworms. My chickens are insane when my
    kids give them earthworms… they REALLY LOVE that !

    But my question is: is there such thing as too much earthworms? I mean how
    much is too much?

  8. Is there really a difference in the taste in eggs fresh from the chickens?
    I heard there was but aren’t eggs just all the same?

  10. What a great tutorial about having chickens! I really wish I had some more
    space and did not live in the CIty! unfortunately the City I live in does
    not allow chickens! I will have to live through others!

  11. Do you provide a light inside the roosting compartment? I understand this
    provides the extra light you were talking about for chickens to keep laying
    eggs. Also, can provide heat needed for the winter months. Thank you for
    the neat video.

  12. I can’t imagine baby chicks in my house living with my Rottweiler…that
    could be ugly. Maybe pullets would be better.
