Matt and Kristen unbox some new products. Chicken run doors can be a critical part of your set up to protect your flock and make your life easier. We test out some chicken doors to see how they stack up.
We talk to Tony from Chickendoors.com about the Pullet-Shut chicken door. Who doesn't love a good chicken pun? Tony talks about how he and his partner came up with the Pullet-Shut chicken door as Matt demonstrates how it works. It's made in the USA and swings out on hinges. Tony feels that this chicken door has solved the problems that other chicken doors have, and we agree. The doors come in different sizes and can be charged by solar or not.
We also unbox an Omlet chicken door that slides open laterally and a cheap chicken run door that Kristen ordered that turned out to be ....well....cheep, cheap. (see what we did there?)

Live from Creedmoor, NC, Video Chicken Live is a fun and informative show about all things chickens and coops. Matt, Kristen, and Ingrid answer your questions. We specialize in chickens and chicken coop construction.
We discuss the shortage on baby chicks (for those of us who are ordering now!) and how you can get around that. Checking out local resellers and local farms is one option.
Matt gets opinions on our popular rope wrapped roost bars. We started with manila rope which is more coarse, like a tree branch, and changed to jute rope when manila wasn't available. Jute is much softer, but now has availability issues.
Matt talks about new add-ons for the chicken coop winter storm shields, and replacing wooden dowels for the coop windows with stainless steel dowels.
We answer viewer questions, and feathers fly between Matt and Ingrid and the restrictions on hemp.

This first episode of Season 3 talks about the price of eggs and different factors that are affecting the high price of eggs. We then discuss ordering baby chicks online from some of our favorite hatcheries and go through the steps with you. BUT, we discover many hatcheries are already sold out on popular female chicken breeds. Partly due to the avian flu from last year and perhaps from the increased demand due to the rising egg prices.
Disappointed but undeterred, we will try to find out what's going on and where to get our baby chicks this year in time for chick season.
Plus we answer your questions on chicken keeping and coop building.

Matt, Kristen, and Ingrid are back with lots of news and goings on.
Matt shows a local news story about Carolina Coops, that unveiled a new product that will be going into production: a greenhouse.
We also ask the viewers if they think a manual door on the henhouse should be standard, (there was lots of debate within Carolina Coops about it), and we also asked about black and white or color coop manuals. (color won, hands down)
We answered viewer questions and had more conversations about all things chickens and coops.
