This video will share with you, the songs of the new baby chickens, that will warn you, when she’s going to start laying her first eggs.
1) HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE HEN-BABY CHICKS OR ROOSTER-BABY CHICKS?
It’s difficult to identify at a glance a rooster or “COCKEREL” from a future hen “PULLET”. Usually between 5-8 weeks old a young rooster will start crowing at dawn.” A PULLET or female baby chicken will chirp like a bird and coo just before they start laying eggs.
2)THE YOUNG FEMALE CHICKEN WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN SHE
IS GOING TO START LAYING EGGS BY HER SONG!
PRELAYING-STAGE-SONGS:Before a young “PULLET”-female baby chicken’s chirp and sing
WARNING GOING-TO-START-LAYING EGG SONG: The female Pullet’s voice changes and she begins to shriek, scream and cackling just before she starts laying her first eggs. When you hear this warning of egg laying song start checking your nesting boxes everyday. She’s ready to lay eggs.

This was a video request from a friend, who wanted to know if she could use a 5 gallon bucket on it’s side, as a nesting bucket. So we did the experiment to find out if this would really work.
The 5 gallon bucket’s interior was 9 3/4 inches wide and 9 3/4 inches tall.
We measured our young pullets of 20 weeks old, the smallest one was almost 24″ tall and nearly 10″ across the breast.
We decided this wasn’t safe for our chickens, and decided however it would make a good solar oven, after we painted it black. Thanks for your questions, they are always welcomed.

#4-CHICKEN COOP-TRAP DOOR-HOW TO BUILD-RAISING CHICKENS: how to make an eyebolt metal smithing converting a cup hook.
Today my husband and I worked on the chicken coop for our new pullets. In this video is HOW TO BUILD A TRAP DOOR. The trap door is very useful, because it is small and allows the chickens to go out into the chicken yard, without allow too much heat to escapse….during the cold winter days. And at night we can close the trap door…allowing the chicken coop to stay warm, during freezing weather.
Also the trap door keeps small possums outside during the night, mice and rats…that will eat their food at night.
BIG PLUS: RAVENS, MAGPIES, MOCKINGBIRDS AND CROWS DON’T GO INTO THE COOP AND STEAL THE EGGS EITHER.

Today my husband went hiking after building the chicken coop…my job was to buil a WALKIN CHICKEN YARD. This is a no-wood-cutting project. The Walkin Chicken yard, is built quickly and is enough room for 6 chickens. The chicken yard is covered on all sides with poulty wire, including the ceiling. The simple to build modules can be assembled in minutes. The cost was less than 60 dollars. I built this in 3 1/2 hours by myself. Tonight we moved the new pullets into their chicken coop palace.
