Storing a battery on concrete doesn't effect it at all .If not maintained with trickle charger it will discharge in time. Modern batteries have plastic cases .so its a wifes tale! Its called common sense.
If you have two lines, and need some genetic separation, go back to the breeder who had the best foundation birds you started with and get another good bird form there, which will be related but not so close, four or five years apart hopefully.
Close. It's got that 1980s VHS home video feel. I'd recommend watching the chickens while you listen if a little movement takes over your attention. Not much added value in the visuals in this case.
Where can I find accurate information on what crosses make which hybrids? Like golden comets, isa brown, and cinnamon queens for example. The internet has contradicting information.
The ones you mention are all red sexlinks. Each hatchery gives their own name to the cross, with some being proprietary such as the Isa Brown. I believe Cinnamon Queens are normally a cross of Rhode Island Red male over Rhode Island White female. Golden Comets are traditionally a New Hampshire male over a White Rock female. If you refer to the breed lists at the end of the presentation, you will see the various combinations one can use to create a red sexlink. Best of luck!
That could be a hard one to predict, as their is no way to know what egg genes the rooster carries. The Cuckoo Marans will be brown, so if the EE rooster carries a blue egg gene you can get green layers but the only way to know for sure is to try it and grow them out. A quicker method would be to obtain a rooster from a known blue egg laying breed instead of an Easter Egger, which by definition is a crossbreed.
Smart man but he always loses me when right after he finishes telling me about how big business is destroying everything he says the problem is buerocrats and we should just trust small business; because a farmer wouldn't lie. That's great logic on Bonanza and The Waltons but in reality 1 in 10 farmers is a dirt bag, just like every other walk of life.
@@tedbastwock3810 No, I'm pretty sure you'll be shut down if that 1 in 10 sells you tainted product and it kills you or your livestock. China doesn't regulate food markets and that's how COVID spread to humans. Join The Grange. If you're having trouble finding a lobbying group that aligns with your values then you're probably the 1 in 10.
The problem is that industrial corporate agriculture is an institution devoted to profit, greed and quantity over quality. Their policies care nothing for the earth, the animals or the people. The system itself is geared toward exploitation on a global level. That is far, far worse than even 10 percent of farmers who are bad people can do. Also, you're saying 90 % of farmers are decent people. Can you say that about Government beaurecrats who serve the industrial system? Have a good day.
@@michellejarvis7878 10% is a place holder for an unknown but statistically significant percentage. It wasn't intended to be taken literally; sorry I didn't make that clearer.
@@tedbastwock3810 "tyranical?" Joel Salatin is making millions of dollars working within the system, give me a break. He has always resolved his differences with the Commonwealth by eventually complying or through the due-process afforded him by the Commonwealth. He's the Al Sharpton of the farmer community. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
I want to come intern for you Joel. I am trying to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life and I believe your model is the way I want to live.
I had tears in my eyes during parts of this. Especially the ending. I'm a small town girl living in a city trying to get into the country. God blessed me with a back yard, so I have a garden and will be getting chickens as soon as my coop is finished. I've found a handful of like-minded neighbors and we are building community-sharing seeds and produce. Growing where planted until He shows me where to move. God bless.
Come and take a look at my place in Wyandotte Oklahoma. God sent me out here. Maybe He's sending you here too... I'm just starting out and a bit overwhelmed but so happy to be out here...at Shiloh.
In Russia we create chicken pastures for our chickens in the old traditional way by planting trees that produces edible acorns, nuts, pods (Siberian peashrubs), fruitsm(Sea buckthorn), etc for all kinds of poultry and between the trees we plant Russian comfrey and between the Russian comfrey we plant Jerusalem artichokes for all kinds of birds love to feed and frolic in dense stands of Jerusalem artichokes and it is done in the vast Russian steppes and we plant dense grids of jiji-sao grasses around each pasture forest plots in a grid pattern so that they can act as windbreaks and as snow breaks.
Very nice ! Yes, it is sad that these types of traditional ways and that knowledge was "lost" by so many in the industrial age, especially in much of the USA. I grew up on a dairy farm in the 1980s and 90s in Wisconsin, and we had 2 apple trees and a garden, but that was it. Our dairy cows and young stock did have a pasture, but we knew little about the better maintenance of pastures & of rotational grazing, much less the best ways, like what Alan Savory teaches ( it's the kind Joel Salatin does). On my father's side we're almost totally German, some English. They were farmers and ranchers. On my mother's side, Her father was also mostly German but her mother was half Swedish. Her grandparents had a small farm/homestead in North East USA, which she'd visited as a child, but was otherwise raised in town Had small yard with no garden or anything. Her dad was a chemical engineer. Had almost no experience at all with growing food or with animals, so, she did VERY well jumping straight into all that when she got married ( she came to our town as a teacher). She later planted more kinds of fruit trees and shrubs, most of it doing well although her 2 nut trees never produced. They are supposedly the correct distance from each other, but it makes me wonder if they didn't need to be closer, for pollination. She's had chickens for many years, gradually trying different ways of caring for them and feeding them. But we were so raised on imported fruits here, in our childhoods, that we are still trying to learn what other fruits exist, that we can grow here in north west Wisconsin ( USDA zone 4a). I did have a mulberry and some Manchurian apricots at one home, but we had to move away at a time when I wasn't able to take them with me. Now, they are way more expensive &/or hard to find available for sale. :( .
Continues to be completely depending on working hard to cull, improve, and select breeding stock. This is why it is so so important to start with good breeding stock.
This is what real science looks like. This is what our kids used to be taught in school. Can you imagine this being played in a science or biology class in a Seattle or Portland school today? People would be losing their minds! There are so many negatives to becoming a hyper modern urban society, and one of them is people losing touch with nature and becoming brainwashed by extremist ideology! Because kids raised on a farm or in a suburban neighborhood know something about nature thanks to Chicken’s dogs, cats, etc. and are far less likely to be brainwashed by Marxist insane & irrational ideology!
