Basic introduction to using chicken droppings as a veggie growing resource. NOT straight, but mixed with dry pine shavings. Go green, go organic, for your good health.



@HTCSWEOD Absolutely it’s always the best to do what’s right. The s-510 bill needs to be taken down. People need to look into it and begin demanding the removal of the fascist system they are putting us under.
Thanks again for sharing ~ it’s so important for everyone to learn? as much as possible.
@deec269 It’s not going to be over for me anytime soon… I will? continue to do what’s right and healthy no matter who is running the system. People at the grass roots will ultimately do what’s right… Ron Paul definitely has some of the right answers…
We are all being scamed . Tired yet? vote Ron Paul and lets get rid of this coup we are in. That’s if the voting still counts!
Thanks for this vid but it looks like? it may be over for us soon.
Thanks for sharing this video clip.? this is so useful.
thanks i really like this video.? great one man.
@aityadeen123 You? are absolutely correct… that’s a food safety bill that has gone wrong… the point was to establish a definite paper trail between producer and consumer… there is no need for registration IF you are purchasing directly from the grower/producer. The ideal is to buy local and produce local. The Bill is a result of food contamination in the past with no fast ability to trace the products back to the seller which has often been out of the country. Ron Paul A++
it’s a shame ,that after the 2012 elections , the s-510 bill will be reinforced and fully implemented across USA , this makes it illegal to grow, share with friends, sell any vegetables, or live stock, not even seeds, PLEASE PEOPLE ,JOIN AND VOTE FOR RON PAUL TO ABOLISH THIS BILL BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, please guys speed the? word ,
Please feel free to? join Fred’s Fine Fowl on Facebook… hope to see YOU there!
@vidaripollen Yes,? I do indeed vermicompost, but not on a large enough scale to amend this garden… my worm bins contribute to my rose gardens :}
plants look very happy. you dont do vermicompost??
@HTCSWEOD Thanks man, I? really appreciate that.
@madjimms I? hope that one day things work out so you can have some (”>
Chickens are so beautiful, I? wish I owned a house & had some.
@kvvful? – I would also recommend silkies and orpingtons, I have had both for years. The one thing I would advise against with silkies is black roosters, if you want a mellow chicken. I’ve never had a black silkie hen, but all three roosters I have are all pretty nuts. They’re very entertaining as pets, but by no means are they easy-going. I would highly recommend white or buff if you plan on getting silkies; in my experience, all of these Ive ever had have been super mellow, very tame.
@elliemay1229 Hi, it’s not pine straw, it’s? pine shavings.. no problems with acidity…. the pine shavings serve as a carbon binder for the nitrogen rich chicken droppings….
If you live in the area of Portland, OR or Seattle WA, why not just order one from us?
at: the chicken tractor company dot com We deliver! Check us out! We are all about green living and love to promote it by having the tractors available for those who do not have the time? to build them.
@HTCSWEOD Yes, I? have used Silkies, they are very docile and easy on the fences. They don’t do deep scratching and I turn them into my garden when mature to get the bugs and snails. I switch my chichen patch with my garden patch every year.
You don’t find that the pine straw increases the? acidity in your soil?
Great video! I just started my first year with my first flock and plan on using their droppings and the pine shaving’s? in my compost bin to use around my garden.
thank you for suggesting me those breeds but currently i am having a rooster chick the breed is broiler i think. he is just about 3 months? old and he poops every were so is it possible to podytrain a chicken and what are all the things that i can give him to eat
yes, I have heard or Aseels, as for a good pet chicken, consider the Silkies… also, Orpingtons are? very friendly… best of luck to you
I love to have chickens around my home but being in a town i only have some budgerigars and some cocktail? but i had a rooster he was good untill he pecked every one so i have to give him away what are good breeds of chicken can i have in home and have you heard the famous Indian breed Giriraja and aseel
thanks? Ruth!
Awesome.I love it. Working and living in? harmony with the chickens.
Thank you for this comment… you? are absolutely correct! We are messing with our food chemically world wide and facing disaster. People are trading sustainability for immediate wealth and GREED POLLUTES… work with, rather than against nature. I hope you can make a difference in India and that there is a true backyard revolution from an educated American public. Be well!
