  I feel like not enough attention is paid to the fact that one of the chickens is named “Reptar” 🐓❤️

  My wife asked to get baby chicks about 2 months ago.  I said, "No."   Well, they're almost adults now & I bought a chicken coop today....we'll have enough room for them to free range..  This video is very helpful now that I've taken over every aspect of this project that I emphatically opposed.  Thanks!

  I take care of my chickens and they take care of me.

  In February, on Valentine’s Day, a big beautiful Dominique rooster mysteriously showed up on our doorstep and wouldn’t leave.  We fed him and fixed up this old broke down coop for him.  At first I had to pick him up at night and trained him to sleep in the old coop.  Soon after, we realized he was depressed.  We got him two girls, buff Orpingtons.  He was so happy, he did his rooster dance for them.  The three of them love each other and are never apart.  He is very protective.

  This might sound crazy, but I wish I had grown up on a farm. When we buy our first home, I am going to have chickens and a garden! Going to binge your videos today! Honey, get the popcorn! 🥳

  I think everyone should have backyard chickens.

  My husband kept saying for me to wait to get chickens. Today he went to the grocery store with me and saw that an 18 count carton of eggs cost 6.50. He is now helping me build a coop. :)

  Just a tip: put the water on a plastic box, so they can jump on it and drink water, this way it's not gonna be dirty so easily :)

  I love that you make compost in the coop using the deep litter method. Not only does the good bacteria keep smells in check the composting also adds a layer of insulation and heat during the winter.
