What To Buy And What To Avoid When Shopping For Your Baby Chicks 

I just wanted to thank you, until recently I’ve been worried about my future and I finally know what I’m gonna do, because you’re videos have helped me make a plan and find a passion for my life, instead of working my whole life and being a corporate slave I’ve decided I’m going to work hard and buy a few acres of land and live a peaceful life doing what I love, thanks for the inspiration. Also I love that you call them chicky babies.

Save money on oyster shells by buying them in a 50# bag. I also buy the food grade/ animal grade diatomasious earth in 50# bags at the Farm Store. Store it in 3 5gallon buckets. Use for de-worming.

Becky, you gave me such a treat. I haven't been in a farming store since we moved to Japan with the military 2 years ago. I'm trying to be patient until we find our homestead, but I want to go shopping now 😂! I loved this video ❤️.

Gosh, I LOVE Tractor Supply~ LOL ~ How fun~!

It's my first time raising chicks and I gotta say, I learn something new every single time I watch one of your videos... I didnt know you could buy bags of mealworms... Seems like a great source of protein for the chickens. Anyways, keep up the great work.

Becky, you have helped me so much during my chicken journey!! Thank you 😊 🐓 I love the fact that you are so knowledgeable and helpful of what to buy. ❣️✨

Hi Becky . your videos are awesome. Could you pls make a video on the differences of raising store bought chicky babies vs peeps hatched on the farm. Thanks, look forward to your wisdom.

Tractor Supply is awesome! Great job showing what all is needed to raise "chicky babies"! 🐤🐤🐤

Great video!! Thanks for all that information!! You’re amazing! 💐

I love that store :) They have the right birdseed that my backyard birds truly love!!

I bought those pillows and some other things lol I love all things chickens :)

Hi ,becky i love your tractor supply videos hope you make another one!😃😃😃

Awesome video👍😉I'm heading out there 😉thanks I'm excited too😉

This was so informative Becky! Thank you! I love those dog toys too! 🌸

Becky you are such a joy and an inspiration! I have a backyard flock of 5 pet hens who are thriving, thanks to all I’ve learned from you. Always a treat to see you’ve posted a new video.

I have learned a lot from your videos, thank you! I am going to start my flock this fall and would like to know if I could keep 5 hens comfortably in a 4'x8'x2' chicken tractor with a open bottom coop of 4'x4'x2' on top of it. I will be moving this coop in the mourning before I go to work and when I get back they will be free ranging in the yard. I am in Gainesville Georgia so I don't think that the chickens will get cold in the winter. If the temp falls I can move them into the garage overnight and move them back out in the mourning. Just wanted your thoughts and to thank you for your efforts. Have a great day Becky!!

Congrats on the paid promotion! That is awesome! One of our favorite places to shop! Would love more advice on getting your RU-vid channel bigger?!

That worker with the totes and cans... The struggle is real. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Awsome video thanks

Tractor Supply shopping spree, heaven!!! I LOVE TRACTOR SUPPLY. My girls are only 10 weeks old, I’m a 1st timer, your videos have been a life saver,... thought it was time to finally say hello! 👍🏼 I posted a few videos of my babies. 💚💚💚

Can’t wait will be getting my chicks in March still building my coop and run since no electric set up in coop will have my 8 chicks set up in house to keep them warm with heat lamp till I can move the setup to coup

I just love her positive vibs.

You are so cute, getting excited about the chicken items in the store. 😄

I didn't know of chick days because of your videos now I know and I spend my time buying at tractor supply 👍

Very helpful

I usually go to a pet store that carries chicken supplies but after seeing the drastic difference in products (and the prices) I’ll start heading to the TSC near me :P and I love how they have everything in bulk so I’ll stop running to the store every other week. I’m considering getting new chicks for our coop this year since we only have three hens and a rooster

Totally FUN video.. You are a great professor of chickenology! Huh? What a great fun romp through TSC! I was there today in my town and sure wish you were there making a video as I'd of followed you around and bought the same things... LOVE the Big RED shovel, now I gotta have one... lol Great info, spot on.. and now I"m getting my coop ready for next winter here in the Upper, Lower Michigan. Everything I need to know and learn, is on your channel.. going to buy a ebook too... Thanks Becky! Wonderful stuff.

I love this video😃

What a fabulous supply store.

You are a delight! So glad I found you!

You deserve it Becky! Also I wanna head to tractor supply now!

I love listening to whatever Becky has to share. My dream is to buy a country home and have chickens, and Becky is preparing me for when I will realize my dream. Thank you, Becky

I love Tractor Supply! My favorite store!💕

I love watching your videos and have learned so much from you about chickens. My chickens are much happier now. Ive even decided to grow BSF larva for my hens. Love the portapods but am looking for something temporary for now. I also saw today that chick days were coming back on the 22nd and im looking forward to more babies. I started with a rooster. And felt he was lonely so i added 4 hens. Well flash foward to after i find your channel and bam im 22 chickens deep lol looking forward to what i get from my tractor supply. Im more excited this time than the first time.

Actually there is an advantage of getting a tall fence for your chicken run and that's because it makes cleaning a lot easier. If you get a really short one you're going to be crunching down and bending over a lot in there when you're shoveling etc. If you have a tall one you can do it a lot more comfortably.

Hi Becky! I am a new subscriber. I love your videos. I have a question regarding my chickens. My boys recently each got a baby chick. We also have 4 adult hens. The babies are now grown and in the pullet stage. One of the chickens is a Golden Buff and the other is a Barnevelder.(sp?). The Barnevelder is extremely attached to the Golden Buff. She constantly tries to hide under the GB belly. When my boys are with the chickens and each holding theirs, the Barnevelder starts chirping very LOUD. She sounds like she is being killed. Then she will usually start biting at her talons. Is there a way to get her to become calmer? I feel one of these days, she is going to get so stressed, she is going to have a heart attack. What can we do? Thank you! Tina

Guess I'll be running back to tsc seeing that I bought the starter and grit for my baby chicks but I didnt get calcium. Thank you!

Wowww your TS store has wayyy more chicken stuff than mine! 🐔❤️ Love your vids, Becky!

My favorite place to shop.

Hi Becky!! Love your RU-vid channel I have learned so much from you!! Thank you 😊 I have a question can you give your baby chick Diatomaceous earth with their food when they first get home?

You can get egg cartons can be bought online for cheaper too and instead of buying mill warms grow them. Or buy bulk feed. It’s all the same feed.

Lol...I often go on shovel hunts...it's so annoying!!! I think I'll paint our shovels and rakes red, thanks Becky.😉 I wish we had a Tractor Supply Co. near us.

I just got my first 6 baby chick's from tractor supply and it's only been a week and I'm already thinking about going back and getting 10 or 14 more I have a small coop for baby chick's and then I'm turning a old run down shed into a big chicken coop so i can keep them separated. And I'm glad I got non medicated food because I thought about getting the medicated but decided not to. And my baby chick's love them meal worms they just go crazy for them..

Because of you I got 15 baby chicks. Thanks 👍

That would a dream come true

We don't have a homestead yet but I still love watching & learning from Becky - her enthusiasm is so great!

I use the Brinsea brooder heaters for my youngins. No fire hazards. But the mealworms are a "MUST HAVE". Shake the bag and they come running. Pecking order goes to hell when you shake that bag. I have 14 girls, and 6 hands full satisfies them plus a half handful for my special lap girl(a leghorn). If chick days are coming, I need to build a tractor for 30 Cornish. I love my TSC. In fact I'm going today for 4 bags of feed and a bag of scratch. I love your videos, keep them coming.

This makes me want to have chickens! 😊

My chicken run is about 6 feet tall and my chickens fly out without problem. Especially my breed rocks.

How much is this costing is what I want to know is it economically worth having chickens

Can you give a rough estimate of how much it costs to keep chickens (per month)? I'd love to have some eventually. Thank you for your awesome channel!

Every video like this I think it is a tractor supply ad

What camera do you use to film?

The sponsor of UN-family friendly Drag queen story hour!

I don’t have any local tractor supply 😢 I go to orshelns!!!

Your local Feed&Seed is WAY cheaper and has every thing plus your chicks

Hey I was wonder if you could get chicks around 2 months old at tractor supplies or are they all really young.

I live in a city apartment in Quebec and I just click subscribe ;)

I still don't have chicks yet hopefully in a couple days, but I just got everything I need for raising chicks from TS but they don't sell chicks for a couple more weeks.

QUESTION...Do you by chance know the disage for Corid to a gallon of water for chickens for coccidosis? Or, better yet what do you use. No vets around here appear to treat chickens. Thank you. I am 66 and this is the first batch of meat birds I have done. My egg layers are next!

We were using a heat lamp about a month ago, it must have been damaged somehow, while using it we heard a big pop and realized the bulb had a hole where the 2 colors meet. The bulb was still working with the hole, we quickly turned off the lamp and trashed the bulb. I am a bit nervous around the heat lamps now.

best video in a while!!!! LOVED it so much! I am so happy, our home is about to be finished and I didn't realize they had fall chicks also! so yay now I can get some :) God Bless

Hi becky I keep backyard chickens in Chicago, and I got 5 silkies in the beginning of May. Now that they're 2 months old are they're any precautions I should take or any medications I should give them to keep them happy and healthy? Also I recently had to bring them into my basement because we are in the middle of a heat wave, besides freezing fruit and giving them fresh cold water are there any secret tips to keeping them hydrated?

Hello everyone! I just want to add another little recommendation down here in the comments. Instead of getting the Fresh Flakes shavings for poultry I would recommend the big bags of shavings outside. The bags are bigger and are a few dollars cheaper!

Chick days is Always a good time. My Tractor Supply card is always getting a work out thou. Lol

Wow you are so nice to your chickens and your animals you are amazing and stay great! 😀👍

Hi can you mix the grit feed and the chick stater feed together?

You can feed ya chickens their own crushed egg shells for calcium for us folks that don't have endless money

And I bought the chicken trellis too

Hey Becky! I keep Oyster shell in my coop for my chickens 24/7 my chickens are between the ages of 1 and 4. However they have never used the oyster shell! I was just wondering why don’t they use it?

I picked up 2 ducklings today

One woman’s garbage is one woman’s treasure

I have too many roosters, what do you do with your extra roosters?

I went to purchase a 500gr bag of mealworms last week $11.50 my chin nearly hit the floor costs more than a serve of takeaway food

Hey Becky thanks for the video I enjoyed it and I hope you and your son stay cool and drink plenty of water out there in this heat

a coyote grabbed my best white hen at mid night. by the time i got outside all i could hear was the hen screaming bloody terror as the coyote ran down the road with my hen in its mouth. pissed me off

I love your videos!! I have chickens and I am gonna get more soon. Your videos are amazing!! 🐔❤🐓

I need your or someone’s help one of my chickens had a in tracked crop and was very new to laying and stoped when will start again or will she

Must have been before covid. We got kicked out of our local TSC for not wearing masks. We were being nice and polite not bothering anyone at all. The people there are usually really nice I think it was one manager though. The funny thing is there was another guy there not wearing and nobody said anything to him. And this was right before Christmas. We were actually Christmas shopping. So we left and haven't been back since. We go to other locals. I refuse to live in fear.

Tractor Supply!

I wish I could add more but my dad won't let me. My chickens just got stolen so he did let me get more

Becky, I love your channel! You are so informative and comical and keep it so fun. Thanks and keep it up.

do they sell guineas

How do you make chickens stop pulling hair out of each others butt

Is the layer food with oyster calcium or whatever it's called enough or do we need add oyster shell

Tractor Supply! 🐴

First couple minutes are ALL Avoidable items. Haha

I’m just begging my flock of chickens but if you want eggs everyday what chickens do you want and how do chickens lay eggs

Starberry planted
