About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

Tina Turner behaves like a rooster and the Cochins are kinda bullies to the chicks so I would keep my eyes on those for future reference because its not good to keep Nasty chickens in your coop to stress your other birds out...........I used to keep chickens and I'm just extremely intuitive when it comes to animal behaviors. I absolutely love your show......you guys are what I aspire to

@jeanettec6212 5 лет назад

@debp9483 2 года назад

Also..this has worked without fail for me so far. An old Mexican farmer taught me this . When the chicks are about a week old and they are getting a few wing feathers. If you look closely, they will start to get a few tiny tail feather sticking up out of the fuzz. Pullets will have tail feathers at this point. Rooster will NOT have any, but just a round fuzzy butt. Up until about two weeks or two and a half weeks old,( at which time the roosters start growing tail feathers also) you can tell with a great degree of accuracy with this method.

@tw4338 Год назад

We had a momma duck take care of her ducklings and another hens chicks. I'm not sure if the chicks thought they were ducks or the ducks thought they were chicks. They would make a line and walk up to the neighbor's place to eat the apples that had fallen off the tree. Then she would bring them all back. The neighbors loved watching them. She always had them back before dark. It was interesting to watch them they were not in a single file line but fanned out, side by side. There was nothing wrong with the hen, but I think she was just lazy...lol

@MarkWSuto Год назад

I was told decades ago by youngboy at the farm and feed store, lay a chick on it's back in your hand, hens will pull both feet to their chest, roosters will push one or both feet out. It has always seemed to be accurate. Love your channel.

Doug and Stacy I love watching your videos, reminds me of better days when I was a little girl, most of these ways were common place to me, I come from a family of 10 children and mom and dad of course, and because we were not well off, many of the things you guys teach I have lived through as normal part of our day. We had a lot of fun when I was a child. Too bad people lost the old ways of doing things. I still learn new things and get refreshed on things I forgot or wasn’t old enough to learn before everyone became so modern. Thank you so much for your time and effort, God bless you all, love you, Judy

@shapienails3067 5 лет назад

My Dad raised chickens he usually could tell by their combs after a couple weeks old , The roaster would of course be bigger -darker than a hen . Seen a video of a factory showing that the roasters wing feathers are all one length when spread out . The hens are miss matched - short & long . It was interesting . Glad you moved the Mom * chicks

I lost the beginning of this year, 2022, my old man Rooster named Josef. He had so many brilliant colours. Believe it or not he was 17 years old. He was 7 when a friend gave him to me and I had him 10 more years. I miss him. Many of my hens are older than 8 & 9+ years. None younger than 5+ years. They are free range with protection limits. I have 3, one year old beautiful big geese to guard them. They are fed organic and all the offal slop. I have a no kill policy. Mine are layers. They are each a pet...about 28 currently. My geese like to snuggle and give hugs 😂. I have 8 guineas ordered due to arrive in May😁. Brook🧑‍🌾🍏🍎

@Fiona2254 2 года назад

Mine are also layers. I have 15 hens and 21 pullet that will join the flock soon. We I have 9 Guineas and have been successful in getting them to sleep in the coop. It’s not hard to do but you have to be patient. Every time I fed them I talked to them. 8 weeks inside the coop and 2 weeks with an enclosed outside run, chicken wire all around. To get them back inside the coop from that enclosure I talked to them saying “inside Guinea Guinea” Then when I finally let them free roam I made sure to get them off the trees if they went up by treating them with flock party worms, still saying “inside Guinea Guinea” The Guineas also run to me when I go outside to check on the chickens and willingly go into the coop every night.

My favorite hens are ones that survive cold and heat and keep laying. I've enjoyed having three Dominiques and later three Wellsummers. They forage pretty well, and I sure did enjoy the fresh eggs. I just moved their little coop to a new spot every few days and put up a portable fence around them. They had to be locked up tight before dark because of raccoons.

@stephgoble7007 Год назад

We lost a 1 legged chick named Gimpy and I’m sure it was a raccoon. The second night a beautiful white hen was taken. Never will happen again. The coop is secure and there is a light in the high fenced in enclosure. Now they have the freedom to forage outside their little enclosure and they live that. It’s so much fun to watch them. My son raided them as baby chicks and now they are with a group of 5. The other two were replaced by an older hen and a couple younger hens. They hens when they were little protected Gimpy. I was crushed when he disappeared. I’m not wanting to eat chicken anymore-at least not any I raise. I already won’t eat Bambi, so….these animals are so precious!

Thank you for the tip. I used to watch an old German lady hold a threaded needle over the chick's head at a local farmers market, and depending on if the needle swung back and forth or in a circle she could tell the sex. round and round a hen or back and forth a rooster.

Yes I’m having an awesome day. Today my momma hen took her 5 baby chicks out into the chicken yard for the first time. This is our first time have a hen hatch eggs and the way she care and protects them. I brought 5 polish chicks. Only one survived. Her name is Bella. She is beautiful-black with the white plum like yours.

As a baby I was marked with a sharpie and I’m a guy so my mom must have known what I was for sure

Love your flock. Thank you for introducing me to cochins. I have 4 now and they are so fun to watch.

@alycewich4472 3 года назад

I love the swishing sound they make when they walk. It reminds me of a little girl wearing a nylon/slick petticoat (yes I'm that old...).
