Viral video features my 11-month old Buff Orpington, Candy

A prominent YouTuber with 2 million subscribers just visited my homestead, and was struck by the role of my chickens.

Kirsten Dirksen: Left city to build 2-cabin dream homestead, no previous experience

Candy, a very friendly Buff Orpington chicken, had just returned from the vet, best guess is that she may have been laying internally (but maybe not ... she is doing better now, separated from Fred, the rooster).

Candy is mentioned at 1:35 and has a closeup at 2:04. She is shown recuperating at 15:57 and wished goodnight at 53:23.

The discussion of my coop build begins at about 14:10 (link to exact spot).

Hope folks here enjoy this, if so, please like and share, this videographer was very open to discussing the coop and I feel, deserves the love. I encouraged her to do more videos on chicken coops!

You let people just walk in around your birds? That's a massive biosecurity risk, especially if she has poultry.

Do you feel that's also the case when they do not own any chickens? Or visit people with chickens?

Any person can be a risk , but if they own any birds or live where there's a dense population of birds *like around water) more so.

Good point, they live in a city and they came to me through the Eastern Washington desert. I tend to think more about biosecurity when for example selling chicks to people with existing flocks.
