Video Chicken Live
Welcome to the Carolina Coops Video Chicken Live Podcast, our live show on YouTube where we talk all things backyard chickens—coops, care, seasonal setup, flock health, predator-proofing, DIY upgrades, and the real-world stuff you only learn by doing.
Whether you’re brand new to chickens or you’ve been keeping a flock for years, you’ll leave with practical takeaways—and probably a few laughs.
We're thrilled to welcome back Dr. Rocio Crespo, head of NC State College of Veterinary Medicine's poultry mobile service, to answer all your winter chicken care questions (and anything else poultry-related you're curious about).
What We Cover on Video Chicken Live
Every live episode is focused on helping you build a safer, cleaner, and easier-to-manage chicken setup—without the guesswork.
Topics you’ll hear often:
- Coop design that actually works (ventilation, space, layout)
- Seasonal prep (winter watering, summer heat, storm readiness)
- Predator-proofing tips and common weak points
- The Deep Litter Method (how to start, maintain, and troubleshoot)
- Watering systems, feed strategy, and flock routines
- Common questions: “Is this normal?” “Why are they doing that?” “What should I fix first?”
