Chicken Breeding Plans: Contingency Planning

Hatching chickens or buying young chicks is incredibly rewarding however it's best to be prepared. It's possible that some problems can arise when you're dealing with something so small. Knowing about the possibilities before hand and planning how you might deal with them will reduce the risk of making a decision out of panic. In Episode 21 of the brilliant podcast from Coffee With the Chicken Ladies we talk about our contingency plans. This video accompanies that Episode and I'll take you through some of the possibilities and the equipment that we recommend so that you can decide what you need and how you may deal with the situations I describe. We are collaborating with the brilliant podcasters Coffee With the Chicken Ladies. Through this chicken breeding season we'll be discussing various aspects of breeding in their podcasts including following one of our Orpington broody hens all the way through until the chicks become independent.
