Welcome to our homestead, set in the beautiful piedmont of North Carolina! We're here to grow our own produce, raise our own livestock, and live a healthier lifestyle for mind and body. Make sure to visit our catch our first episode to hear my story and learn why we chose a dramatic lifestyle change.
Ok I am enjoying your video. I have 70 to 80 birds and eggs of all colors. I took stole sample to vet. Treated all 7? Birds for worms. Just dipped all in per rith eum ( how ever you say it😅) . I am buy ing elector pcp ( how ever you call it) and I plan to dip again! I see thru the comments that you had to cull later on and must ask why? Did none of these products work? I feel itchy too . 😅😅😂😂 . My coop should be burnt, but..... I just sprayed every old crack, scraped perches, burnt nesting materials. Your barn is beautiful, but it must cost a lot of $$ to spray it down. I will check out your other videos. Maybe I will learn why the cull? Some of my birds are 5 or 6 yrs old ❤
How long does it take from when the chick makes their first visible hole in the egg until they should have the entire egg off of them? My chick made its first little 1 cm opening over 24 hours ago and they have cracked egg everywhere the very top about 3” wide. I'm not sure if I need to help it or not. it was making very good progress during the first 18 hours that it was hatching, but it has made no progress the last 12 hours. Its still alive and the beak is sticking out but it seems to be sleeping a lot.
It’s different every time, I can definitely try to monitor and note average times but I haven’t noticed a “normal” or average time. 24 is usual I would say, 48 hours isn’t unheard of. When I see no progress/ movement/ peeping for 8 hours I tend to step in
My chick also had wry neck, she isn’t showing symptoms anymore, she has been on Poultry Cell for 4 days and today, she is not showing any symptoms, when should I stop giving her poultry cell? ?? Thank you for doing this video. It really helped a lot!!
Your video is awesome. I tried to help my baby chick and it started bleeding. Then i tried to find a help full video and found yours was a nice one. I have put the chick back in the incubator. The blood have Stopped. But the baby is still stuck inside and alive. Will try to assist him tomorrow.
Understand you are interested in making all that is in your view pleasing to your eyes 😍 Maybe, just maybe, the bee balm can be transplanted somewhere out of your sight and continue to be an amazing nutrient source for our bee and butterfly friends ? The pollinators work so hard for us 🥰
I love how your garden has grown in. The weed thing is real. As busy as you are I totally understand. Maybe next year. Loved seeing your animals. Have a great weekend 🤗💓💕💞🖐️
Oxine kills everything including avian influenza. you'll get two products oxine and the activator to mix as directed. I'll sanitize my water containers at least once every one to two weeks or before moving it to another coop. I'll keep a one gallon pump sprayer with oxine for anytime use as needed. Hope this helps. My first flock contracted infectious Coryza and after that started my biohazard precautions. I was able to contact a lab within my state to send swap test to find out what it was. Same symptoms as the creator in this video and I was just as devistated. 🙁 I collected eggs to hatch and try to keep my original bloodlines but hatch rates were very low.
Question, please! How did you place the extra eggs in the incubator in such a way that they rolled and didn't prevent the other eggs from rolling as they are supposed to?
Fun fact: Donkeys are actually closer related to Zebras than horses! Donkeys will also take out coyotes and wild dogs which is why they're usually really good livestock guardians!
I have 80 plus birds that have mycroplasma and only 3 died they have all been healthy for the last 4 years and none of the chicks I e hatched from these birds tested positive there is a lot of myths about this disease
You made this video 1 year ago BUT it was EXACTLY what I needed today!! Thank You so much!!! This was my 1st time incubating eggs - 24 Black Copper Marans - I'm so excited !!! 2 have already hatched!! 2 more have cracked their shells -- this is day 23 😬
