I don't know if you'll see this, but at the top of the feed bags there's a string and on one of the ends if you pull the single string it will unravel the top stitching and the paper comes off to open the bag! No more looking for knives or scissors. Love your videos, you're the cutest! 😍💕

Oh MY! That moment when you gently called them and they all came running to you! Loved that!

Always count them at night, we have a few that occasionally decide to roost in trees instead of going into the coop at night.

Listening to you call them and them actually running to you is priceless! 🐓🐥🐓🐓🐓🐥🐓🐓🐥🐥🐥🐤

You should try scrambling the eggs in the skillet. I personally think they turn out sooo much better! Here’s what I do…
1) Put butter in the skillet
2) Crack the eggs into the skillet
3) Break the yolk and mix it up
4) Pour in some milk
5) Continue cooking like scrambled eggs

But... but... I just watched you guys build the new coop in your backyard. What an unexpected twist.
Just bought a house and can't wait to get a few chickens 😍

As someone who is starting to get everything together to being a first time chicken owner, this is by far my favorite video from you! I actually teared up when you called them and they came running to you!

The sound of happy chickens is the cutest sound

8:45 i planted a bunch of trees starting in 2007. i didn't know they would some day provide cover for my chickens. Amen.

[dolinick]

listen yall i don't know anything about raising egg laying chickens but i just got 3 buff orpington and 3 black star and 3 ameracauna chicks. they are so cute.

Your delivery and sharing of knowledge is second to none. Thank you, my wife and I are brand new chick owners. We both grew up in families here in south Louisiana that raised chickens so we have been around them but are learning all we can about how to get eggs. Not interested in the meat aspect. Again, we love your videos.

This is exactly what I hope a day in the life will be for me and my wife in a few years. Goals.

Your videos are so educational but they also feel like calm therapy to me, they always make me smile or laugh. I’m glad I found your channel, I’m also planning to start raising chickens with my partner in a few months time and you have given me a ton of help preparing.

[ILruffian]

Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. If you get a minute, look up "how to open a sewn bag." That threads just pulls right out. No knife or keys necessary.

[christinajewell]

I love watching your videos! It helps me to keep my chicks and hens happy and healthy!

[kitten]

I love all of your videos, but the ones featuring your chickens are my favorite. And I don't even have chickens, nor will I be getting them. You have such a calming way about yourself and always give loads of information. The music in this video is also very soothing. Thumbs way up!!

[patewok]

Love the video and love the penn state sweatshirt. Not sure if you went to penn state or not. Your videos are very informative and we really appreciate everything you've taught us with our chicks.

[artsycat]

Your dogs are so sweet! I can’t wait to get chickens for myself!

[artnavakuku]

Just adopted 2 chickens and these videos are so helpful! Hoping to expand the flock a little later! Thanks for what you do!
