Bill Roberts got his first chickens when he was very young (in the 1940s), and is sharing his decades of experience to help you reach your goals, and enjoy the lifestyle! He has long been interested in teaching and being helpful (for example, through approximately 200 magazine articles he has written over the past 30 years or so). Anyway, we hope you like these samples from the DVD...
From the longest chapter (which is about breeding) here Bill defines Single-Mating and mentions some of the benefits of this important method.
Not shown here, but elsewhere in the chapter, Bill discusses various breeding methods and strategies, shows several diagrams, mentions mistakes to avoid, and shows & discusses the main traits he considers during his brood fowl SELECTION process. (valuable information) |

Over the years, Bill has come up with several versions of what he calls an "Egg Retriever", which is a VERY helpful tool. Many times in the past, he attached the can with wire, but in recent years he has made better retrievers by using two screws instead. |

With chickens worldwide, every flock is almost certainly infected with the virus that causes Marek's Disease (Range Paralysis), even in flocks where symptoms are rarely seen. This is why vaccinating against it should be done when chicks are one day old.
Here Bill shows how he does it. Naturally, a protective hen will not be too happy if you try to handle her new chicks. But over the years, Bill came up with a method that includes a fishing net (after lengthening the handle), and a bucket. This method is faster, easier, and better for several reasons. |

Of course, each sample above is in a much smaller "window", compared to watching the actual DVD on a TV, etc. Also, if these samples do not play as smoothly here, it could be because of a slow internet connection, or other technical reasons. Also, if you are visiting here using a mobile device (such as a smartphone or a tablet) unfortunately some of them do not play Flash video.
If you order the DVD, you will notice that it plays very smoothly with high quality video (it was shot in high-definition, and rendered for standard-definition DVD at the maximum bit rate). As for the audio, special care was taken with microphone placement, etc., so the audio is also of very good quality and easy to understand. We spent a large amount of time and money in the production and post-production phases, during many of the months of 2008-2009 (writing, filming, editing, etc.). More importantly, the DVD is very valuable because it contains a large amount of accurate information that is USEFUL. In addition to helping with start-up and expansion, it will greatly assist with various daily activities, including seasonal adjustments, as well as help prepare you for many unexpected situations. Also included are lots of Bill's own innovations that can not be found anywhere else. With so many demonstrations in the DVD, it's as if you were standing next to Bill during different times of the day, and different seasons, in a variety of situations. |
