Henlo! I am The President of Chickenlandia and I want to welcome you to Chickenlandia, a magical place where my pet chickens (and a few ducks) live an awesome life. Do you have baby chicks inside the house and can't wait to get them out? In this video, I tell you when they can go outside, and what to do if they are driving you crazy but they aren't ready to go outside yet. Hope you love it! #chickenlandia #welcometochickenlandia #backyardchickens

Thanks for the great tips! My hubby has been badgering me about when the chicks get to go outside. I keep telling him when they're fully feathered. So, while watching the video I said, "There you go. You heard it from the President herself."

Mine are having supervised day trips and it looks like I’ll have their coup finished when they are the proper age. But I’m having panic attacks and will miss them when they are outside overnight. I must have gone crazy! Love your videos!

@umustbbornagainActs2-38 Год назад

Mine are 2 weeks old and today i decided to move them into the coop. They’ve been going outside the last few days and love it. I put an upside down plastic tote with a small entrance hole cut in the side and covered with a blanket and with a heated brooder plate hanging inside it inside the coop so they have a special *room* inside the coop to sleep in. They’re are all tucked in nicely in the tote and seem to be ok. I live in south Louisiana and it will be in the mid 60’s tonite so we’ll see how it goes. There’s 13 of them so them bundling up together in their will also help with their body heat. I’ll check them throughout the nite and see how they’re doing :-)

I got baby chicks 4 weeks ago and your channel has seriously blessed me so much. Finances were the main reason we waited so long and it’s nice to see someone who teaches it doesn’t have to be a huge expense. It’s hard to find that these days! Thank you!

@grandma6552 2 года назад

We had 12 baby australorps in the master bath (shower was the "brooder" and rest of bath floor was the "run") for about 8 or 9 weeks. No smell whatsoever (Hemp bedding + zeolite) and no noise .. in fact, I had to put my ear to the door to hear their "inside voice" constant communication. Evening feedinig was showtime! Best show was the first match between the two rooster chicks (the ones with no tails). Best of all, they were trained to get up at 8:30 am. Was cute at the time. Has been a blessing every since.

Yes! Dust! It is amazing, that is why mind go to the garage. But I have kind of an all purpose room there that I can add light and heat easily, 1 sheet of plywood will make a decent size brooder box. I ran into the unfortunate loss of a mamma hen when the chicks were about 4-6 weeks. They already had become established in the pecking order, and could forage.

@AlmostHomestead 4 года назад

So much good information here. we raised our chicks in our 400 sq. ft. cabin/home. As the chicks got bigger, I felt like We lived in a brooder. Had to really keep up on changing the wood chips to avoid the dust. Next batch of chicks (someday) we'll try hemp bedding to keep the dust down a bit. Have a good day!

@WelcometoChickenlandia 4 года назад

The dust is REAL. lol!! I've also heard good things about using pellets and I used them with my last babies.

So is it the bedding, chicks or food that makes all the dust? Thanks!!!

Living in Alabama, last week we were in the 70s & dropped down to the high 20s at night. I had 40! FORTY! baby chicks inside for a whole week. They were in bird cages, totes, baskets, you name it. I knew that the last frost wasn't our last frost like they tried to say... But I wasn't prepared for the "bouquet of chickens" my husband surprised me with from the feed store just a week before. Lol.

@naomihatfield3015 10 месяцев назад

Southern Alabama here, and I have six chicks at four weeks old, in my office with me. They like to chat amongst themselves....a LOT. Dust isn't a problem, and the smell hasn't been an issue (I clean the box out every other day), it's the *noise.* I was hoping for that lovely chicken muttering, a sound I find very soothing. These babies sound like a flock of finches, peeping and cheeping and chirping non-stop. And my gosh, they do get big SO FAST. Fall just started, and it's still pretty mild at night, so I am hoping to move them outside in the next two weeks or so.

@johncspine2787 3 года назад

Zeolite or coop refresher really, really helps keep the bedding or litter from smelling, but more importantly it absorbs ammonia, trapping it and improving the eventual nitrogen content when composted. Try it along with plenty of shavings or hemp. Make kabobs with red chard and strawberries, hang them on the sides, they love it. You can use upside down Command Hooks, they’ll stick on anything, and plain garden netting on the top.

@WelcometoChickenlandia 3 года назад

Great video! I wonder if anyone knows if it is okay to take out 6-7 week old chicks outside for a few hours before getting all their vaccines? I’m taking them to get them next week but would love for them to have some outside play time in the grass while I monitor them.

@amandapittar9398 2 года назад

I too think of them as baby raptors. In NZ you can get possum dog roll. I have always fed mine cat/dog food. Finely chopped Possyum is chook crack. I also make a veggie “tree”, a kitchen roll cardboard centre, punch holes and stick the leftover bits of broccoli stems & cauliflower etc in. Hang it in the coop. Fun for all day. I keep my 7 baby frizzles in a big plastic bin. They will graduate to a bigger bin by 4 weeks then to their coop at 6-7. I am a chicken fan. Love them. Xxxx

@free67 Год назад

What are your thoughts on moving them outside in a coop with heat so they have more room at 3 weeks? Our chicks are just over two weeks now. Basically want to use the coop as the brooder. The coop will be done any day now. We were thinking they would be happier with more room out there as long as we lined it with cardboard as insulation from drafts and a heat source. First time with chickens for us. They currently have an oversized moving box with 2 roosts that they love and a sand bowl. seem happy now but it's going to get crowded within the week Im sure as they get bigger.

@felisahall2809 3 года назад

Ok so I have a question. I am first time mama to baby chicks. They are now two weeks old. I live in the south and you may know how bad the heat is down here but if you don’t then I’m here to tell you that it gets hot, it gets hot! It has been getting around 90° The heat index gets to 97° here lately. My question is, with my flock being the first do you think that by four weeks they would be able to go out to their new home? Where we have their coop and the run is in the shade pretty much all day. We do a window that we can raise up during the night and daytime and also vents in front of the coop to keep air flow going. I am so glad that you have these videos. They have help me so much in understanding a lot that I didn’t know. Like I tried a little lettuce with them. They went nuts over it. And the idea of putting something in the brooder like a stick for them to perch on. I had not even thought of that. I guess that shows how green I am huh…😂😂😂

@VideoCreators 4 года назад

We'll be keeping our chicks in the garage at first, but it's our kids' old kiddie pool. It's not big enough to last more than a few weeks. The sides are low, too. We'll wrap it with some poultry netting, but even then, I'm expecting that they'll quickly fly out. So my idea was to move them to the empty chicken coop I'm building after a few weeks, setup the heat source out there for them, and keep them locked up in the coop until they're closer to 6 weeks old. The coop doesn't have a floor -- it's open to the grass, so I thought I'd cover it in pine shavings so they're not directly on the damp ground. Does it sound like I'm on the right track?

@WelcometoChickenlandia 4 года назад

I'm sure you can make it work! You might be able to take them off heat a tad sooner since there are a lot of them, depending on the temps where you are. You can certainly add a heat source to the coop, but, heat lamps present a fire hazard so it would probably be better to go with a radiant panel heater.

@VideoCreators 4 года назад

Mine aren't even 2 weeks old and they are like little pterodactyls. We have them in a closed off section of the bathroom - it's a small space - and they are in a 50 gallon tub. Should we open the window (that is screened of course) so there is a lot more fresh air? Is it ok that they are in such a small room? or should I move them? and our heat source (ambient brooder like yours but the small size) - do I need to get a second one? TIA!

@WelcometoChickenlandia 3 года назад

Opening the window might be good as long as it’s not getting too cold in there. If they all fit under the brooder I wouldn’t get another one. 🐥🐥🐥

Are you able to keep them outside in a very secured area during some of the day? That might alleviate the need for more space. But it’s not uncommon for people to increase brooder space before they go outside full time. 🐔

I've been using the deep litter method and have no smell. But I really want them to have more room to move. In the heat of the day I put them in my rabbit cage on my back. They love being outside but it gets too cold late in the afternoon so I bring them in my bathroom. They aren't fully feathered out so I don't leave them out. I'm finishing up the flooring and front wall of their coop but I'm thinking when it's done putting their heat light in their coop and loading them in it. It's great during the day but nights are still too cool for them, especially with no head feathers. Their bodies are fully feathered but still fuzzy heads

I have three 7 week old, fully feathered chicks in a. 3x6’ dog kennel but with it being February we keep getting snow so I’m not sure if I can move them outside yet. Temps go from 25-50F and I’m scared to take them outside. I also have three 3 week olds in a 2x6’ brooder but had to put chicken wire over the top as one of them flew out the other day. I have 10 more chicks coming early April that will need the brooder. The three 7 week olds are all wrestling with one another in the kennel and have zero interest in roosting perches or pecking at veggie scraps. I’m not sure what to do as it could be MONTHS before we get temps in the 60s. Even in the peak of summer, we get down to 30’s or 40’s at night.

@@Legatt_shanty I looked at our weather and put the chicks which are about 11-12 weeks old now outside. At first only one had the common sense to go up into the coop at night so I picked the other two up and put them in around 1am. We just got 4” of snow today which wasn’t supposed to happen…having to watch their water as it’s freezing but other than that they are now functioning well, going up into the coop at night on their own, etc. The younger ones are about 7-8 weeks and fully feathered but I’m going to wait until they are 11 weeks old as well to begin introducing them to their counterparts outside and transitioning them to the coop after that is done with so they can all roost together.

I bought 2 new chickens.. a buff sussex bantam to replace the one that sadly passed away last week and the cutest little pekin bantam... the buff sussex has assimilated into the flock without a problem but the little pekin bantam is really struggling. I think maybe she's too small to join the rest.. the others a free ranging without a problem but she doesn't come out of the pen more than a couple of feet and just turns around and goes back in as soon as she sees the other hens.. its been 2 days, so I'm hoping she'll get used to the others in a few more days, she's definitely more confident today than yesterday and she comes charging to the pen door whenever she sees me.. I don't want to force her into mixing with others and hopefully she'll just naturally find her place in the pecking order and become a part of the flock.. there's been no violence or injuries of any kind, mainly because she turns and runs as soon as she sees any of the other hens coming towards her.. fingers crossed it all works out..🤞

I’m sorry to hear she’s having trouble! How is she doing now?

@akib2542 3 года назад

@@WelcometoChickenlandia she's absolutely loving life now. A part of the flock, free ranging with the rest, albeit at a distance. But she's definitely confident and settled and she's exploring the whole garden. Can't wait to see what her eggs will be like.. panic over🙂

I'm getting one duckling soon will it need a heat lamp if it's inside?

@WelcometoChickenlandia 4 года назад

Hey there! Yes, the duckling will need supplemental heat. Are you only getting one? They usually do better with a friend since they are flock animals.

@oscarsbackgardenbirds7460 4 года назад

@@WelcometoChickenlandia we are just getting one to accompany our older female duck will this be a problem?

@WelcometoChickenlandia 4 года назад

Oscar's Back Garden Birds Oh yes I remember now! For it to thrive socially, it would be better to have another duckling with it. A single duckling is going to cry a lot without a brooder mate. It can be done, but it will be a lot of work. Could you maybe get it a friend to grow up with and if you don’t have room for two additional ducks, find a good home for it when they are ready be integrated with the flock?

@WelcometoChickenlandia 4 года назад

Oscar's Back Garden Birds my apologies for not catching that before. I didn’t realize you were just getting one baby. I think I thought you were getting an adult bird!

Miss president. why are my hens not wanting to eat their s&p feed anymore, they hardly touch it what is going on? the feed is kept in a galvanized lidded can, dry , no smell, no bugs

@WelcometoChickenlandia 4 года назад

That’s super strange! Are they getting too many treats, maybe?

@pjbenne1 4 года назад

@@WelcometoChickenlandia you know I thought that too so I cut out the treats for several days now but they are not eating like they where I get scared so at the end of the day most days not everyday. I have been scrambling eggs with garlic and they attack it like they are starving I am so concerned. Anyway I ordered more S & P feed it came today and I am opening a fresh bag tomorrow to see if maybe the feed got old. Is that even possible?

@WelcometoChickenlandia 4 года назад

I don’t think so. But if you have any issue with the feed definitely call them. They are so good with customer service. They should be able to help. Have you tried fermenting it?

My hens always take their chick's out in just a couple of days. They stay under her until hatched, good and dry and a few days old. Then out and about.
