✂️🐓 Things to know before you trim your chicken’s wings👇🏼 Wing trimming isn’t something I do routinely for every chicken. Flying is natural, but when it puts one of my chickens in an unsafe situation, I will trim the primary flight feathers to keep her from flying too far. In Blueberry’s case, she had started flying over the coop to roost in the trees at night… just as I caught a raccoon climbing up the side of the coop 😳 If you’re in a similar situation and need to trim your chickens wing feathers, here are a few important things to know: 🪶 Never cut a growing feather. New feathers contain a blood supply and are called blood feathers, so always make sure the feathers you’re trimming are fully mature. I don’t recommend trimming chicks or young birds that are still growing and learning to fly. 🪶 Trim only the long primary flight feathers. Leave the shorter secondary feathers intact. 🪶 Trim both wings evenly so she stays balanced when flying short distances and heights (like roosting in the coop). 🪶 Don’t cut too close to the wing. I use the shorter feathers (coverts) above the primaries as a guide. 🪶 Keep her calm. You can gently cover her head with a towel if she’s anxious. 🪶 The flight feathers will grow back after molting and may need to be trimmed again. Trimming her wings will not make her completely flightless. It simply reduces the lift so she can’t get herself into unsafe places. Now, Blueberry is safely roosting inside the coop. 🥰 #backyardchickens #feathertrim #chickenkeeping #chickencare #petchickens

Slow introductions are important when it comes to your chickens’ health and safety. In this video, I’m focusing on flock dynamics since Cloudy is an adult Silkie rooster, and he’s quite a bit smaller than the standard breeds in my existing flock. Chickens are territorial and can seriously injure other chickens, especially when there’s a significant size difference. Taking your time is important. The more opportunities your flock has to see and hear the new chicken before direct contact, the more familiar they become with each other, which can help make introductions easier. Since filming this introduction, my flock has almost completely accepted Cloudy. And I say “almost” because it can actually take months for a new chicken to become fully integrated into an established flock. The goal is to get everyone to coexist peacefully. 🤍🐓 #cloudythesilkierooster #backyardchickens #petchickens #chickencare #introducingnewchickens

🏠🐓 Here is the video you all have been asking for! It’s finally time for an official COOP TOUR. As a busy mom with multiple careers, our coop has always been a work in progress. It’s taken 2 years to finish all the little details in the coop (like the wallpaper!) which is why it’s taken so long for me to put this together! All good things come with time. Now, here we are! I’m highlighting all the cool features in our coop, accessories that make chicken-keeping easier, and touring the outdoor fenced setup as well. This coop is where our Bee Jeweled Coop journey started. Sharing this journey of mine, connecting with all of you, and my desire to help people made me realize that we could support so many people in their own chicken-keeping journey. 🏠 You asked for building plans, and we created them for you! 🎤 Your questions in my comments are making more how-to videos 💙 Your request for tools to clean your coops led me to design our new Coop Scoop™ Thank you for being here on this journey with me! If this inspires you to create your own coop, or if you spotted something in this video that could make your life easier, I want to help. 👉🏼 I curated a list of all the accessories, bedding, and tools I use in my coop + the coop building plans to help you build it! ✨ I have the list saved in my profile for you! ✨ #cooptour #diychickencoop #chickencoop #buildingplans #chickenkeeping #backyardchickens #chickenkeeper #coopessentials #chickencoopplans #chickencoopideas #petchickens #beejeweledcoop #chickencoopsoftiktok

There was a time in my life where chicken keeping felt like a big chore 😔 I did it the way it’s always been done. Followed generational chicken keeping advice and trusted farmers. I’ve used all the things: Pine shavings, straw, mulch, pine pellets, large hemp bedding, coffee.. you name it. These substrates were not easy to clean and the maintenance was not pleasant. Some methods don’t always work well when you’re keeping chickens on a smaller lot in the suburbs either. When you build a routine that is simple and you start working with the right materials, it transforms the whole experience. If you’re wanting to get chickens soon or you’re just looking for inspiration, follow along for more chicken keeping tips ❤️🐓 #backyardchickens #chickenkeeping #coopcleaning #petchickens diychickencoop

We built a safe outdoor space for our chickens! In the process, we needed to figure out how to tighten up this welded wire chicken fence. This is how we did it: My husband built a come along with two 2x4s. He drilled holes in the 2x4s and threaded bolts through. We also used some clamps to make sure the wood was on the fence really tight. We tied some ratchet straps to the come along on one end and to a nearby tree on the other and ratcheted it tight. Then we secured the fence to each post with washers and screws. Thats it! Super simple. We did this for every section of the fence. When we let the tension off, there was still a bit of slack on the top. This is unavoidable unless you have a top board to secure the fence to. Since this is a fence to hold the chickens in, I dont want to give them a bar that they can fly up to. So we’re doing without the top rail for now. 🤞🏼 If you’re looking to build your own chicken enclosure for the first time, I hope this helps! ##chickencoop##chickenenclosure##happychickens##diychickencoop##chickenrun##diychickencoopproject##chickensoftiktok##chickenfence
