Raising Chickens: Everything You Need To Know!

- Let's see what kinda money I've got in here today.

$100, $200, 3, 4.

I got 500 bucks here.

All jokes aside, my friends,

it is a good year to get into the world of keeping chickens.

I've got my little treats here.

I've got my hens.

They're a little scared.

I think they think that I'm some sort of great giant

coming down from above to tackle them,

but once they get into it, they get into it.

So in today's video,

I'm gonna run you through a complete starter guide

to getting started with chickens.

Everything you need to know, dispelling some myths,

correcting some beliefs,

and also getting into a little bit of a discussion

about cost and regulations.

So join me and the epic thickies.

Let's get into it.

First I wanna dispel a few chicken-keeping myths.

The first and probably most pervasive is that

if you keep chickens,

you're gonna have a really stinky, sloppy yard.

And that's really just not the case.

If you keep chickens well, have the right coop set up,

the right litter set up,

and the right sort of outdoor run

and you don't really mess around too much

with giving them too much food at once, for example,

they really aren't a dirty animal.

Yeah, they kick some dust up here and there,

but it's not that big of a deal

and they bring a whole lotta joy

to your house as well.

Monsters! (chickens clucking)

The next thing is that you don't need a rooster to get eggs.

In fact, this is probably something

that a lot of us as kids,
