That chicken house looks fab ! 😎
I need more videos hurry up and come back soon missing you lots 😭😭🥰
We used to get some rats visit our chicken run, but they didn't cause a problem. As long as you keep the sack of food somewhere inaccessible the rats never bothered our birds. It gave the cats something to hunt though.
I thought you were veggies and vegans? why have chickens?
Your chickens house is a fancy hotel, lovely. Great names for the chickens. They should be happy
Looking good. Lovely coop.
Aww the chickens are lovely and they've definitely got 5 star accommodation there 😄 glad to hear you had a good birthday too, Dom xx
Absolutely beautiful! I love seeing people like you, full of love for animals and respectful of nature. Happy birthday!
Exciting about the chickens! Tell Opal, Betty and Sweetpea they're gorgeous! Lovely home they have too (with a cool gate 😎)
Happy belated birthday, Dom!
Look forward to more wafflings 😊. Take care!
It's a lovely chuck house!
By the way your ground is nice n soft for digging I need a pick axe here in Almeria
Chickylicious 🐓
Fantastic. Happy birthday Dom. Another excellent addition to the Wildlands. Some very happy and well cared for chickens 🐓. Like your gate. Battery pack looks a good bit of kit. Stay well. All the very best to you all.
Cheers. 👍🐾🐓🪴😎
Loved this episode .. and the chickens .. what a difference having them on the land makes. Was great to catch up x
A very tidy chicken home for sure. Good work.
Hello, I am Mindy from Missouri in the USA. I LOVE YOUR LITTLE COUPE THE CHICKENS ARE A LUCKY BUNCH!
Good job guys👍👍
Beautys
My daughter had an inside the house chicken . They’re so friendly and loving
Awe…..so cozy and secured, love it! You have turned this wild land into a wonder land. Can't wait to see your first harvest on the fruit trees, veges and eggs 😋. And..and..birds sing in the morning, better than radio music can bring…hmm….so restful and peaceful. All these sound like "your first fruit", labor of love 💗💗💗. Job well done!
Happy Birthday Dom! Awesome chicken residence build! You will have some pretty happy chickies.🙂👍👍👍🍾🐓🐔🍺
Hazel ☘️ …
The run run is out of this world and I’m so glad you took safety precautions by burying the wire … I’ve over killed this in the past by burying an entire floor of mesh in their lock up section !
The chickens are lovely and I’m hopping you’ll enjoy the eggs 🥚 when they start to lay for you !
🙏☘️😘
I love the chooks! ❤🐓🐓🐓 Lovely ladies 😁. You've given them such a wonderful home, so much love and care, they must be the happiest chooks ever 👌. Love your latest rustic gate too Dom 👍
Can you connect your solar pannels on that device too?
A suggestion. Put more wood strip down so that when the chickens walk down they would have better grip. It's up to you 😁😊
Brake a piece of the Aloe Arborescens leave and put it in the water of the chicken. Very healthy and we always did it for our chickens in South Africa that is the same climate as Portugal
It's a very relax hen and must have been handled alot before
Dust bath to get the sand fleas off
I thought that you might like this to add to your music library. Oscuro…… Accepting what is.
Happy birthday mate and may God bless you with many more healthy happy years. Take care buddy and say hi to the family. Are you going to put a cover over that incase of rainy day?
Happy beleated birthday love watching your videos great job
Great work & precision, well done. Just discovered your vlog & love it. Thanks for sharing your family experiences.
B t.w. is there a perch in the chicken house? They love to sleep on them💖👍
Looks like its all coming together very nicely.The Wildlands is starting to look like a homestead now.Well done guys 👍👍👍
Congrats on the Bday …wishing you a blessed year ahead…the chickens are truly awesome amd the coop soooo cool…have an awesome week
Chicken poo is excellent for soil fertility. Perhaps add a layer of wood chips to the floor to absorb the waste, then clear out every few months and add to the compost pile.
🐓🐓🐓❤️❤️❤️‼️
homestead is looking lovely……….and growing……..
Well done again. You can give the chickens all your kitchen scraps except onions, garlic & the like or citrus. They will love it. They are much smarter than people realise. My chickens used to come running up to me when I went out to give them the leftover cat food. I also gave them a scattering of scratch mix seeds & shells and they had a feeder of pellet food in their coop. They will be very rewarding.
Happy Birthday, Dom‼️🎂Your very first birthday on your very own homestead‼️ ❤️
Thanks for your vid i love chickens they're social animals.😇💟💟💟 love you guys.
Happy Birthday Dom! Hope you had a good one. The coop and chickens are so cool! I hope to get some chicks one day. Thanks for sharing. See you next time.

Chickens make wonderful pets. Enjoy. 🐔
😀
Liked your video on the chickens ! I have corrugated iron sheets on my pen it helps when its raining to give the chooks a bit of dry ground to scratch when everything else is soaked !Nothing like fresh organic eggs !
