Shocking Reason You Shouldn’t Keep Chickens For Eggs!
Thinking about getting backyard chickens to beat the egg crisis? That might not be a good idea. Here's the shocking truth about keeping chickens for eggs. Are chickens expensive? Do chickens smell bad? How many years do they lay eggs? Does feed make them quit laying? Can you free-range or pasture-raise chickens? Let's bust some chicken myths.

Years ago I read an article in Mother Earth News that made the case for keeping the older non-productive hens in the flock. Apparently, "removing" them actually messes with the hierarchy and social makeup of the flock, which can cause a slow down in production by the younger girls. True or not, I'm going with that theory. I wouldn't feel too great about rewarding a hen which had provided me with such a healthy source of protein, by ending her life before her time. My chicken retirement program says "thanks for your service".
Here's an idea...stop reading that commie rag Mother Earth News. But yes, the hierarchy will go through changes all the time. As some alphas get older, the younger birds might challenge the order. All my birds will live a natural long life and never be sent to freezer camp.
I’ve read this as well about the hierarchy. I just add a few new hens every couple of years. The old girls die of age. My oldest hen was 9. I lose one to a predator or accident on occasion. The poop makes great compost so they still earn their keep.
Unfortunately some communities limit the size of your flock (my HOA limits us to only 4) so it's not always feasible.
@@theHOAmestead ours is five fowl total, no roosters. It’s not fair on the poor roosters. They can be the most amazing pets, even assistance animals if trained well, but the crowing is a big problem.
My retirement plan for them is manyfold roasted is my favorite
Whatever the gov, media & WHO tell us, we must do the opposite.
You are a sad, paranoid, individual. No legitimate source is actually advocating against raising chickens in the appropriate amount for your environment. For instance, only 4-6 hens in a municipality.
Starting with Taxes!!!
Uhgg that's dumb advise! Unless you live in Florida right now.🤔🤣🤣
Same here! Whatever ice cream men says I’m doing the opposite!
Your spot on.
Great humor and information!!! Thank you
I don’t plan on buying any soon but definitely an informative video. Just subscribed.
Ok so this is you basically you debunking reasons to not have chickens. That makes me happy. I have been seeing a lot of videos lately genuinely trying to dissuade people from having chickens, and I thought maybe this was another one of those. Chickens are SUPER EASY to raise as I had them for over 17 years at one point. They are actually very little work with very great reward.
But you do have to put in a little work to take care of them properly and keep there space clean a few times a year
@@rob214 For my set up of 4 chickens it takes me 20 mins a fortnight to clean out and feed and water. And 5 mins weekly to top up feed/water.
@@jwright4222 I'm sure for a small coup it doesn't take much
Great video and the humor! Stumbled on your channel! Good info!
I really appreciate how you almost disproved every reason they gave for not having backyard chickens. I've been raising backyard chickens for about 30 years not so much for eggs which are nice, but just for the fun of it and yes it can be a little expensive now with the price of food and yes free range does help, but I would be spending the money on another hobby, if I didn't have my chickens, I'm sure. When my girls quit laying and they just call themselves in retirement and keep on living and enjoying life until they die. I've never eaten one of my chickens don't even know if I could if I cooked and put it on the table. I just do it for the fun of it and enjoy eating the eggs and giving eggs to my friends. 🐣🐥🐔
I agree Bob that's great. So nice.....
♥️
You only need one rooster not wood chips wood pellets for a wood burning stove
@@tucsonwisewoman9523 Thanks I do have one rooster, Tennessee tuxedo is his name, have a good day
If you’re chicken taste anything like my egg producing chickens? You would like the taste anyway. Least not with cooking up the roosters! I ended up with 8 roosters that were being hard on the girls, so I had to get rid of them somehow and no one wanted to take them. Neighbor offered to help me butcher them since I didn’t know how yet! We let them sit in the freezer for a month roughly before cooking one up and when we tasted it. It doesn’t taste anything like a store bought chicken! I don’t mean in a good taste either, ended up giving them to my dogs that didn’t mind eating the rooster meat at all!
Great information.enjoyed the video thanks for sharing

Eventually there will be another bird flue plan demic🤪 and then they come around and gas the whole flock😬! Many years ago they were exterminating many private and commercial chickens in my area.
Excellent work. As backyard chicken ranchers, my wife and I agree with everything you said. Having your birds is not really about saving money on eggs. It is, however, a fantastic way to get the highest quality eggs that you can have. We also enjoy the entertainment aspect of having them.

I think your chicken advice is the best on KZhead out of everybody I’ve seen thank you
Thanks for all the videos
Great video. I raised chickens as a teenager - one of my many plans to become a millionaire. My flock of 25 chicks grew to include bantam hens, ducks and geese. It was a blast and the whole family enjoyed it. Your video covered pretty much everything and I would like to add 2 points. As we lived in Upstate NY where winters were rough, we used 100 W lightbulb to not only provide additional heat in the insulated coop, but also increased the amount of "daylight" and our egg production remained robust. The other IMPORTANT point is....there is NO comparison to a fresh egg to a store-bought egg. Fresh eggs are not only tastier but they are thicker - don't spread out in a skillet as much when you fry them.
Very important i agree!! as far as I know the thickness of the albumin is because it is fresher
I work in a grocery store and we have an angel 😇 who brings us eggs once a week. He can’t use them all ! I tried to give him 100$ for his kindness and he wasn’t having it. I really appreciate this man and helping us at Kroger to cut our grocery bills. 💙💙💙💙💙
You can get the same by going to the farmers market and buying eggs. Same outcome, just less work and you dont piss off your neighbors

My friend's father was 10 years old little kid in WW2 Europe. Living on the country side in a fairly remote village. They had 2 chicken hidden in the bushes and they fed them as they could. The two chicken fed 3 people (him, the mother and sister) for over a year with eggs. When you learn real hunger the a solution is simple as 1-2-3.
Amen
Can't really have chickens when you live in an apartment or condo. Even a basic house. Their are ordinances that require chicken be x amount of feet from any given house. Owning chickens is not practical for most Americans. This solution is not viable for the VAST majority of Americans.
@@pureblood1551 Congested neighborhoods in urban areas can be beneficial. It's ok in case of a catastrophic event like WW3 you just go on the internet and find the famous book used by Hannibal Lecter to find new ways to cook (instead of chickens)...dont forget to stack up bottles of Chiantis.

OMG the lady's reaction to cleaning the pasty butt situation had me dying. I enjoyed your video! I'm now a new subscriber. 😊
Kept 76 layers for around 4 years giving around 43 dozen eggs a week. My son had an egg route and we had all the eggs a family of 5 would need for baking and eating otherwise. It was actually profitable. We free ranged them during the day, and they cooped up at night on their own. Change the water at night and throw down some scratch and all was well.
Why did you stop?
@@bumblebee4280 Because the energy demand for the labor and maintenance was slavery. So they gave up and just switched back to buying eggs at the store.
@@bumblebee4280 my son went off to college so no need for 76 layers. We get fresh eggs from neighbors in trade (lamb, beef and pork too). I'm redoing our barn right now to accommodate a welding shop for my younger son, but we're incorporating a coop too so we'll have little peckers back on the land (probably no more than a dozen) later this summer.
Snow is a situation in PA.what kind is best for winter and what keeping them warm enough in their home?
@@kimtrent3514 barred rocks are good for cold, as for keeping them warm they do it themselves as long as their coop is windproof and dry. Then you can either make a wired run or free range them.
I had a tool shed on the property I bought and we modified it for my chickens. Used some old pallets and chicken wire for the outside enclosure. Didn't cost much at all. I like to let them out but we have predators. Raccoons, foxes, skunks.
Love your video and your sense of humor lol
I grew up in the 1960's and spent many days playing in the chicken coup with my "friends". Being an only child and living in a rural area, I had no other children to play with and the chickens were like family to me. We raised chickens, turkeys, ducks, and even some game birds. All the chickens were named and one followed me all around the yard and even into the house on occasion. All of my adult life I have missed the gentle calming song of my chickens and would love to have a small flock again. Unfortunately I live alone and once in a while need to spend a few days away from home and have nobody to provide care for the birds. Maybe someday I will find a life partner who will live with me and at that point I will have chickens again as well as a few other animals.
Where you live John
yea John where u live lol I need a partner to live that independent life every guy I say does well till I talk about homesteading and conspiracies lol
I’m sorry but that was funny cleaning the rear
@@nolanat504 Go for it, Natalie! I'm with you - I introduce myself right up front as the biggest conspiracy theorist there is!
You can definitely leave chickens alone for a few days. You just make sure they got plenty of food and water.
Here in Toronto, a few areas were allowed to have backyard chickens, but now they are shutting that down due to 'bird flu' risks! Infuriating - just so sick of all the fear mongering and stupidity of bureaucrats
The hole Virus narrative has been debunked many times, read Virus Mania, got over 1000 backed up sources.
Toronto is lost.
Always remember that most people who flock to that type of work wish to rule.Speaking of bureaucrats,politicians,officials etc...
Bird flu actually was a problem(where i get my chickens had to close for a bit) but its pretty much controlled now
Bird flu is a real problem for a number of cities. My brother in Connecticut just had to kill all of his birds because one came back positive. What the hell are u talking about? It's not infuriating, its a reality of the situation that you choose to not believe. Thats just called ignorance.
this was hilarious and informing... I love it
I just subbed because of your humor and presentation. Looking forward to more of your videos.
A few years ago a family moved in a couple houses away (we live outside the city proper), set up a chicken coop and added 4 free range chickens. They were down at our house every day and were a great source of enjoyment, even the dogs enjoyed them. Dogs didn't chase them, they just seemed fascinated with their noise and movement. Our cats are indoor cats and just couldn't figure out the large birds in their yard. Well someone complained and after a few months the chickens left and shortly thereafter so did the family, bought a small farm a couple miles away.
That is sad. But, glad the family moved to keep the chickens.
Sounds like someone had a problem with a neighbor annoying them. They complained and the people who want to live on a farm, now do. Great for all involved. So glad it worked out the way it's supposed to!
@@johngill5175 gosh… you really sound like you’re the life of the party Johnny
I don't blame them
@@Trees100Better for the family anyway ♥️
We just got our 12 pullets a few weeks ago and love having them. They just started laying a week or so ago and we enjoy collecting eggs and watching them scratch around the yard. Very relaxing.
What age were they when they began to lay plz?
Ours took 4 months from chick to layer
I find here in Louisiana is very different about them laying eggs! We have had a very few species of different kinds of Chickens but during the Summer months they don't lay the eggs as well it's too HOT, but the moment it starts cooling off here they lay eggs they crazy! The heat here is absolutely bad! They have feathers and we have to cool them off by watering the grounds around them and put extra water( baby swimming pool) in their pins! Buy we have only lost a few one due to leaving her out at night a hawk / owl got her and the heat killed our other one! JS TY 😊
I love the facts provided, the presentation and of course, the Humor!!! Keep it up
I raise chickens in my backyard and this is one of the best decisions I ever make. I purchased the quietest days old breed, fresh eggs every morning, help with stress and I give fresh eggs from time to time to the neighbors around me so no one complain about the noise 🤷🏽♀️
Please reply to say what breed those chickens are/were. Thanks so much

I have been putting apple cider vinegar in my chickens water since they were peeps. I also make a concoction of the corn meal from the cracked corn we grind, I add dried oregano I grow, crushed cloves of garlic, apple cider vinegar, pepper flakes and a little spring water to make a mush. I have very healthy happy chickens. My rooster had a wound on his comb I prepared this for him and in no time he was all better. My rooster also lost his luster in his feathers he just appeared to be un well, gave him his mix and he is shining like a diamond. He is a very large Rhode Island red. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the reality of chicken keeping, I too had to clean up my EE from pasty butt YUCK!!
I kept 4 chix's a few years ago. You reminded me how much I enjoyed it. Had to give them to friends, but even after 3 years they still remember me and come to me if I visit. Very fun having them. Thks again for reminding me
Speaking of intelligence shortage, remember when people had food going bad in their refrigerators and freezers because the power was out during the big FREEZE in Texas. If only there was a way keep your food cold during that time.... like throwing some snow in a cooler and then putting the cooler outside and burying it in the snow.
My sister had gas heat during the same freeze here in central Louisiana. We had snow and power outage too. All her food spoiled inside too! So did my nephew`s food. And they HAD coolers and a storage shed there! But both call me "dumb" for prepping and having solar power in my camper for air conditioning and fridge and freezer in case another two hurricanes hit like 2020.
Man if only we had a metal container designed for storing food in cold climates too bad humanity never made anything like that right? or you know our fucking basements!
We have a lot of hawks in our area so I used fishing line and glued 3 inch round mirrors together at different heights on the line. I hung them from the trees and now our yard looks like a huge disco when the sun reflects off them. They spin around day and night and ever since I have not had any hawks attack my free range chickens.
Charming and helpful video! Thanks!
I absolutely love your philosophy on keeping chickens, which is exactly my experience as well. Thank-you and God bless.
Chicken keeper/gardener here…eggs and poop are pure gold! I bought more chicks when the bird flu was starting to get real, and I got extra. I supply all my people with eggs. I’ve been trading extra eggs for avocados and sourdough bread on a regular basis. We have some extra to gift the neighbors and friends on occasion. And I add an egg to our dog’s food every now and again. “With chickens and a garden you’ll never starve.”- comments section quote I love to share.
What do you do with the chicken poop?
@@KillerofGods Fertilizer
Without food for the chickens, you pretty much would starve lol unless they don't mind eating grass and the occasional bug on a daily basis, but then what about winter ❄️
@@ghostboogie Chickens are omnivores, and their eggs are a high value, high priority food source for us. If I didn’t have proper chicken feed, and could not find seed, I would not let them starve. I would get them food from my pantry, and they’d get plenty from from the garden while I started farming black soldier fly larvae and meal worm. Cat food is high in protein and a good food for chickens. What about Winter? Winter isn’t really an issue with chickens, and definitely not an issue in zone 9.

Best Wishes and stay away from chicken butts 😊
Just discovered your videos! I'm hooked! Thanks for the great info!
All of my chickens molt, whether they free-ranging or penned up. They take turns. As far as keeping a hen who doesn't lay eggs anymore, not only do they contribute to the creation of compost, but they huddle next to each other at night to help each other stay warm AND they help to service the rooster(s) if you have any. We let our hens live out their lives in peace.💓
Oh, that rich!! Just like Moses talking to the Pharo... LET MY CHICKENS MOLT!! AND LET THEM BE... LET THEM LIVE IN PEACE!!! Good going with them Chicks... Thank You...
They keep.theyard free from Bugs ! Love them
The only issue I am noticing here in Australia is the local Councils are imposing limits on the numbers of chickens you can have dependant on the size of your property. I believe that number will be reduced as a means of being controlled as the world is forced into the dystopian world the WEF, the UN and the WHO want to happen. God forbid you try to feed yourself.
Yes in Australia they stopped backyard chickens. We’re in rural sth QLD and on 5 acres we can have up to 276.
Just more American Democrat Party Bull CRAP! the American Goverment Speaks with Fork TONGUE! The Better the Lie you tell, the higher in the Joe Biden Administration you go.
I live in Australia and I have any thing from ten to 100 no one has ever told me or have I heard of this
Do quail, no restrictions because it’s such a random bird. Egg poppers are yummy and using 2 eggs for one in recipes is not that difficult.
Hilarious! This video was so fun and done so well: full of good information.
That is true. Can’t control you!
Someone probably already wrote this , but just in case, if you have plenty of space , you can build yourself a mobile chicken pen, every couple of days you move the pen to a different place in your yard , this creates many benefits to your yard or field as well as keeping the chickens happy on fresh ground always. The only con I can think of is you probably will need help to move the pen unless you only have a few birds and a really small pen. The main reason I tried it was to keep the birds safer as their are tons of coyote and fox around here. I hate killing anything, so I avoid it whenever possible, it was start shooting them or figure out a way to keep the chickens safe. Your roost area for them doesn’t have to be attached , they will go to roost when released in the evening from the mobile pen. I enjoyed your video very much, I subbed your channel, more and more the stuff that’s within your content is going to be important to know, probably sooner than most everyone thinks, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Edit; I’m that guy that will keep the old hens when their laying drops off, I also feed as a treat for the most part, moving them to fresh ground everyday keeps them fed in the warm weather anyway. I believe they are of value to your younger birds, chickens seem to learn things just watching other chickens, or maybe it’s just it’s dang hard to kill and eat something you cared for since it was a tiny little thing, don’t laugh everyone will find as you age something like that becomes harder and harder to do, or maybe it’s just me, lol.
Yeah my grandmother never ate her chickens too when they died. She always burried them in her garden.

If you put a heat light or a bright light light into there coop in the evening time during the fall and winter they will still keep laying eggs they need 12 hours of light. Also if you give them raw beef fat while they are molting they will also keep right on laying eggs. I hope that you find this information usefull.
I've heard of adding extra protein in their diet for molting, adding fats sounds good, too. Thanks.

Message received and well said. Always good to know the next thing we don't want. Interesting side note: My daughter has a flock of 15 ish hens with a rooster. And planning a second flock with a different rooster. We have an issue with hawks vs free range and by accident found an answer. My granddaughters were told to leave any cracked eggs on a tree stump on the way back to the house. Doing this put the chickens in the good graces of a murder of crows. Sitting on the porch having morning coffee and a hawk shows up only to have the trees, we live in woods, explode in a black attack cloud. The hawk is hustled right out of the local air space. An amazing way to start the day. Love your videos.
That's amazing! We have a couple of crows (possibly ravens?) that sometimes pop up. Mostly a horde of pigeons though. Would much rather have crows. Unfortunately, also have the rare raccoon and abandoned cats (which have adopted me, so keeping chickens again would require a run rather than free range. Free range would have been nice to keep bugs and weeds down.
I heard the crows would do that if you leave a bit of cracked corn or whatever for them. idk what else it might attract, though. At least the crows won't get in trouble for it.

I live in a town that won’t allow poultry/birds of any kind. It’s horrible and I’m very frustrated. Moving is very difficult for us as we have 2 families living together, we’re looking however. Anyhow I envy those of you that have chickens or “chick kings”. Praying we can find our dream.

I can no longer imagine my life without a flock. I don’t mind cleaning up after them because they brighten my day & always make me laugh.
Older hens are wonderful. I bought 6 chick's this spring and kept them separate from the flock until they had all their feathers and then put them in the coop in a large cage so they could get to know the ladies. Well ONE lady had a different idea. She wanted to be mommy hen. I opened the door and she took wonderful care of the babies! All six are laying now, with about 4 feet of snow outside....I'm in Alaska.
Omg. How about wearing an apron next time??
Great video. Damn hilarious and informative. Subd
