Radio Chicken

Coming to you live from Creedmoor, NC is Video Chicken Live where we discuss and answer your questions about everything chickens and coops. Ask any question you want and Matt, Kristen and Ingrid will answer for you. We specialize in chickens and chicken coop construction.

This week's discussion is on homesteading and sustainability. Many people are calling to order chicken coops because they realize that now is the best time to have chickens.

With store shelves repeatedly empty, supply chain issues, inflation, and diesel gas prices, many have discovered it's best to grow your own food, have access to fresh eggs, and live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Matt, Kristen, and Ingrid discuss water glassing eggs to preserve them for over a year, growing food on your property, preserving seeds, preserving your harvests, and doing all you can to be more sustainable.

Plus Matt unboxes his gift that was sent anonymously from a customer and reads the letter to him.

And we answer viewer questions.

Location, location, location. Today we tackle coop placement and prep. How to determine the best place for your new chicken (or duck) coop. Some considerations are using an underutilized space, or having it close to the house so you can see it, should it be in the sun or the shade? The ground has to be level for our coops to be assembled, but there are different ways to level, or you can build a base. Should it be pressure treated wood base or concrete? Matt and Kristen give all the reasons for different considerations in coop placement and prep.

AND, Matt rings the golden bell and someone got a T-shirt. Find out why.

Matt and Kristen (and the gang) are live in Franklinton, NC at the home of our customer Jimmy. It's been over two years since Jimmy got his 6'x18' American Coop and he is finally cleaning it out.

Matt and Kristen show how easy it is to clean out one of our coops, with the drop down clean out gate and the 12" deep litter beds that is lined with food safe high density polyethelene. After about 15 minutes, the coop is cleaned out, and we leave some of the litter in there to kick start the new hemp we put in.

After two years and 9 chickens, there is no smell from the deep litter bed.

Then the question of what to do with all that good chicken poop. If you are going to use it in the garden, do you wait or use it right away. Till or no till.

We explain the benefits of the no till method of gardening for a more healthy ecosystem for your plants.

And we answer your questions live.
