  • how do you get your chickens to come back. i have 7 rhode island red hens and i'm afraid to set them free on my land. I'm afraid they will run away! Also, how do you get your roosters not to attack you?

  • @AiritonColton11 Well some roosters are mean and others aren't. Chickens just naturally come back to their home to roost. Open the door and let them run and they are back in before dark.

  • I need to ask someone with chickens about this. I want to build a coop on my property but my boyfriend doesn't want one on it cuz he thinks chickens are messy and smelly. Do you have issues with odor and messes in your coop? They look very easy to care for to me. Enjoyed the video by the way! Great idea to use those rubber tubs under their perches to catch the poo.

  • @paperpusher75 Putting pine shavings on the floor of the coop helps a lot. And it depends on how many chickens you have. If you are only going to have a few for eggs you will never notice the smell. If you have a lot of chickens you may need to clean the coop more often. If you live in the country you can let them run free and they will leave most of their mess in the woods. I have had up to 30 at a time and there really isn't much odor from them if you keep the coop clean. Hope that helps!

  • Cool chickens

  • Do they attract foxes? I have a small dog and I don't want it to be attacked by a fox....

  • @GeckoGirl99 Eh, I don't fancy bantam eggs.

  • hey thanks for the video and love your chickens checkout my channel

  • love your passion for chickens. thanks for showing

  • @3064boy yeah the buckey nest idea is great !!! and i just had quick idea with my wife that might even improve on it :) instead of unscrewing them to clean them, u can actually use the screwed in one for stability and insert rossting ones inside of them to easily pull out for cleaning. we just moved to a very rural area in SE Kansas and should be raising chickens very soon.

  • @chazfensk haha:P
