Sir: you have a nice channel, but why-oh!--why you didn't voice over narrate, but chose to put captions in makes me wonder why this is so. Thank you very much for your efforts otherwise.

Thank you for doing a video on this subject. It's a very interesting topic. We've heard that Isa Browns are a good chicken for beginners to raise.🐓

Great job Pa Mac! Thanks for sharing the information!

This is a vastly different form of "planting by the sighs" then my grandfather taught me He taught things like start plowing when you have snow on thawed out ground, Plant corn when the maple seed fall. Plant garlic the first time you see snow flack that don't stick. sign that nature gives not sign the heavens give

I am looking for a manly meat bird that will breed true and lay a moderate amount of eggs year round. to that end My main flock is 1/4 light brahma 1/4 Jersey giant 1/2 Breese. has of yet the flock is to young to know if it will work out has I hoped

We are just getting started with our flocks and getting fencing established. We do have a Brama Rooster for now and will have some more chickens coming very soon. If you needing the use of our Rooster for breeding we could probably bring him over when he is ready for that...He is the Mrs pet so you couldn't keep him long term but would make a VERY big bird for more meat...lol

I have a serious question. I have never raised chickens but I would love to. My only problem is I can’t be home everyday to care for them. Sometimes I am gone for the day but occasionally I am gone for a week. Do chicken require attention EVERYDAY?

Such wisdom from such a young man!

Just got 10 chickens today! FUNNY!!!!

We have always had a mixed flock. We appreciate the ones that are good foragers and predator aware.

Thanks for the video 😊

Have you ever itemized all the tools you have?

Question/possible video idea: Any experience with push reel mowers? I got an old one from my grandfather, and after sharpening and adjusting the height, it's darn near less effort to use than the loud, smelly, pollution emitting gas mower, or even the heavy battery powered mower. Mt question is, one of the four blades of the reel grinds/bonds against the lip, so instead of a slicing sound it's slice/slice/slice/GRIND. Still cuts nicely, I have a sharpening stone on the way, which I figure with enough passes on the one blade I can shorten it's length, but if you have any insights/experience on reel mowing, I'd (and I imagine others) would love to hear about it.

Great content. For us on the farm, we prefer a hardy breed, broody, dual purpose and quiet.

Truly this is my favorite UA-cam channel. Thank you for keeping it going and all the knowledge you share regarding the old ways and homesteading. We’ve cleared an acre of overgrowth, added 4 new garden areas, planted numerous fruit trees, and added a new chicken house and chicken… next up is either a milk cow or pigs but I’m thinking of the two that a milk cow might be next so I’ll have milk to help feed pigs with if we need it. What are your thoughts between the two of which should come first?

I kinda think you should warn people away from commercial breeds with exotic features like the Cornish Cross.

Great info as always. I raised black sex links for 4-H as a kid and remember them being gentle. A couple years ago I bought six Rhode island red chicks to raise because I always thought they were a good looking chicken. They had the worst temperament out of any chickens I've had-- even the hens. Now I have mostly Cochin bantams and a few other random breeds. Don't ever give up on chickens because of one bad experience. I enjoy taking care of them and observing their mannerisms and individual personalities.

I have 7 hens left... Trying to figure out what ones are still laying. I'm only getting 2 eggs most days.

Thanks Pa Mac for the great information about chickens. Sears and Rareback and Monkey Wards were the originators of home shopping networks and did a really good job for a number of years then now they have both gone by the way side. Seems we are getting back to that again. The delivery systems are failing greatly bringing out the road agents again?? Sure enjoyed your video today, keep up the great work and the fun you have around there, Fred.

I like Rhode Island Red but, I've noticed they bully the rest of the flock.

I enjoy having chickens but have not been able to find a rooster that doesn't crow. It would be okay if the roosters crowed for the first 3 hours of day light but my experience has been that roosters crow almost non stop. They crow all night and all day. They crow when you are working and when you are trying to sleep. So having chickens is great but they wont reproduce without a rooster. I did have a rooster that I liked once. His name was Barnie. I was in the process of snatching up 4 other roosters to kill and Barnie managed to take a chunk of skin off my cheek while I was snatching up a rooster. Barnie died protecting his buddies. Thanks for your videos. I learn a lot and I enjoy the content.

Chickens are wonderful! I love hearing their little clucks and a rooster's calling.

Thank you sir. This was a great tutorial!

Great video! Thank you for making these.

My sister gave me my first chicken about 6 years ago when she found a little stray hen nesting in her boxwood shrubs. She seemed lonely so a friend gave me 2 more little hens. The next year I built a large enclosure with a henhouse and bought 10 australorp chicks from rural king. There was one rooster in the batch and now I've built my 3rd chicken run and have about 35 chickens. Eggs and meat are plentiful here because the 3 little original hens are all broody and wonderful mothers. We've taken on raising red New Zealand rabbits and coturnix quail for meat too. My australorps arent really broody,but they're good layers and are very docile. The mixed children from the littler original hens are ending up a little smaller than the original australorps I'd bought,but they're more broody and better mothers. Quail are the perfect example of the best parts being bred out of animals. The ones I have have never been broody and dont even nest. If it weren't for incubators theyd probably go extinct. Rabbits are excellent animals to keep,as they're quiet,dont need alot of space or attention, and they're always prolific breeders. Now if they only laid eggs.🤔

I wanted the flower hens because they are extremely self sufficient, but much too small for our hawks. We ended up with Buckeyes and Dominiques. They're dual purpose, rose combs less likely to freeze in our northern winters and lay a lot of large eggs. In the summer our feed bill for chickens goes down to next to nothing as they forage very well. The hawks always check them out, but move on. The over abundance of eggs we sell sometimes, feed to our dogs and cats. We do separate them every year or so so selectively breed and let the hens raise their own.

Yea I agree with the cross breed, chickens are varied, not all follow the ideal traits , with 15 layers on line now my number 3 and 4 spot for amount of eggs are a Sultan and a Polish ,they lay 6 days a week all seasons ,.my 1 and 2 are a Black Star and a Road Island Red , Now I got some crosses coming up that have black skin and ornamental features ❤❤

Ducks are best. Quiter, larger eggs with a really thick shell. Best for baking.

Ouachita - *wash-it-ah* ( originating from the French translation of the Caddo Indian word) meaning TOO MANY DARN ROCKS!!!

Drops bottle: if i don't acknowledge it maybe it didn't happen

As a child my family grew what is called rice peas which were a tiny white pea. Like lady peas but smaller. No one kept that seed and I can't find it any where.

3:54 Is that in just stirred not shaken ? Opefully .

How are the double sided gates made! I have a lot coming and going in my barn yard.

I'm glad I found this video I just picked up an American scythe ( that's gonna take me forever to get right as well as the nibs) question do you have a video on how to replace the nibs ? Mine feel like there ready to fall off. Thank you.

I realy like these videos. But the music.. same theme over and over…

Thanks. God bless.

Dear Lila a hole in my bucket

My husband said you’re lighting up the yard so that you can feel better. They don’t have to worry lol and he’s probably right I think.😂

I am 74 yrs old and as a kid I grew up with my grandmother having a homemade chicken catcher. I'm happy I found you. June 2024

Yeah at some point I need to finish the three froe's I started so I can do this but yeah were still building foundations for our house so no need to do this just yet...good video Pa!

More excellent advice , always useful 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I really enjoyed this one. I've rived plenty of palings myself, but there were some awesome nuggets in this video!

Great video

Excellent Pa Mac. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

The design of scythe that you are demonstrating looks to be derived from the English scythe.

Herrick Kimball of Planet Whizbang online, at one time had for sale pages from a very old book that was first printed in Colorado, I think in the late 1800s, that he offered for download, showing these many, many, many valuable homestead solutions, as PaMac has!

And who knows that many things for the homestead may very soon be in short supply, and ingenuity like PaMac's will and must kick-in. Better learn it now, for later there may be no you tube!

Can the old foxfire series be purchased? I remember, as a child in the '70's, many of our neighbors were interviewed by the Foxfire writers for the series. I guess I should just Google it! Great stuff sir! Oops never mind! Found your video on it! 😂

Could watch you do this all day!
