your family all right alright guys if this is your first time to the Stoney Ridge farm channel welcome to the farm please jump in pound that like button consider subscribing to the channel you got all kinds of fun stuff including fun chickens so let's talk a little bit about the chickens that we have and why we have those chickens we're doing a bit of an experiment for you guys here on YouTube with these chickens so we went to Mary McMurray hatchery we ordered 25 production red chickens and 25 white leghorn chickens they're all hens hopefully everybody's a hint and we probably lost three of those chickens in the first couple weeks and that's a fairly normal thing so if you're raising chickens guys you buy 50 chickens you're gonna lose a few chickens you buy a hundred you're gonna lose a few more you buy 15 or five you're gonna lose some chickens and it's just part of it they're just very fragile animals very beautiful creatures I tell you what birds birds just fascinate me they really do so we live amongst our chickens we have laying hens that are permanent laying hens in our garden spot over here will probably take you over there later in the video but what we're gonna do is move this coop so this is a PVC mobile coop that we've been moving piece by piece by piece square by square by square throughout the yard I'm gonna set this little guide down this is a white leg and a little tip here if you want to know what color egg a chicken lays this little spot right here is the ear of the chicken that ear is white so this will be a white egg layer there you go pretty cool so we love this mobile coop throughout the yard until the birds get to a size that they're a little bit too big for the coop right now I've sold off a few of these birds probably ten of them so we have somewhere in the neighborhood of 38 to 40 Birds in this mobile coop if you think about it we're moving a 120 square feet every single day here on the farm and you can see right here the results in the yard I'll walk you around here see that green stripe and see how it's not as green right there that is where the mobile coop came through here went all the way down edge of the driveway and has come back up and you see it's a little bit dead the grass is a little bit dead as we get closer and closer but once the manure sets in we are doing two fold and operation in other words
