The crane would definitely come in handy

Hi Gregg. If I had a bigger towing vehicle I'd probably have a bigger trailer! 😆 🤣 😂

Yes, a big work shop with all the tools hard to beat. When I was told I could use the shed I jumped at the chance.

I say you should make that a ramp door. I made mine that it can be split and made normal

Thanks Gregg. We're Building the dream!

Thanks for the heads up I'll have to keep an eye on them. I used them the other day. They make live a bit handier when working alone. The sheep are less panicked because they have more room

@@LaidBackHomesteader to save hay I used tied up for cow's and heifers etc as what I thought would hold the welds ain't very strong. I think I realised why they couldn't be used to hold in stock.... I wouldn't recommend it for penning pallets are heavy but won't fall apart if ran into they explored the bars when they give up I remember trying string and even welding they blow apart

I'm only using the panels to guide the livestock 🐑 into a pen or trailer. Or to make a temporary pen when screening them.

Your welcome.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the struggle !

Cheap and cheerful Gregg. Works a treat too!

Not enough hours in the day lol. Thanks Jim, glad to here you enjoyed it.

Its added a bit of weight alright but also making the trailer alot stronger. That patch should see me through to retirement lol

I had a great time at the conference and really enjoyed meeting you too! There was so many like-minded people I spoke to that I missed most of the speakers talking 😆

It definitely will and I'll not have to change any more broken boards. Stronger than ever Jim

Sure is. Just need to remember that next time I start filling it so I don't pull the tow ING hitch off the car lol

Lol that was the handy way to remove those boards. It give me room to get the grinder in

I was working on the trailer today. It will be in the next two videos. I think you'll like my detachable sides diy. Ive lessened the incline without lengthening the tail gate. She a tailor made trailer 😆

Is the soumd bad in places? With all the physical work you'll hear me panting lol. I have one I'll look for it and give it a go.

@@LaidBackHomesteader No it’s not bad. I just thought it would be easier for you. You can talk in a normal voice without having to worry about how far you’re away from the camera or phone.

@@gregganderson1454 I use a gopro hero 9. Its old and has alot of hours on the clock but still works good though bring knocked over quite a few times. Im actually on my third camera stand. You know the saying buy cheap buy twice? Took two cheap options before learning that fact lol. Ill bring it out again next ime im working by myself. Thanks for the feedback Gregg. I learning form feedback so much support on this channel thanks again!

Fingers crossed 🤞

It's a gravity feed nipple drinker for poultry. Chickens touch the nipples on the pipe and water stored in a header tank comes out. Animals can't dirty the water supply making it safer to drink

First row Im just trying to work out the spacing. Im going to build the corners next Thanks

Glad you enjoyed it. I was worried about my sheep that morning.

Hi Gregg. I was driving about like a lunatic hoping not to find a sheep vs car crash

Thanks Ian. I'm glad your enjoying g watching it. There's plenty more to follow!

It's because I enjoy making a video and replying to comments lol

There be many a shed full of men today lol

It definitely would be when the chickens are almost ready to harvest. I'm using commercial boilers. I got the eggs from a farmer and hatched them out myself. When it was all said and done from 60 eggs I have 29 in the freezer. I did a video last week of the entire process. Egg to plate. Have a look and let me know what you think. Thanks

Mortar and and weight of the wall will secure it

@@LaidBackHomesteader busca la asesoría de un profesional!

Ok thanks

​@@LaidBackHomesteader Lmbo, no pard. The weight and mortor will not hold it in place.

Aslong as it doesn't retain it shouldn't need anchoring here in the UK and Ireland we build different to other countries. But one thing I would say is set 1 block in each corner and use your line to straighten them out if not making profiles to 3,4,5 and make everything square

Are you enjoying the youtube shorts? I'm trying to keep ye entertained 😅

@@LaidBackHomesteader Sure. Even though I’ve already seen the longer ones. I hope they help your numbers.

@gregganderson1454 It seems to be working so far. I'm actually not doing the short content. I have another guy that does that for me. He wdited a few videos a while back, but it wasn't working out. Did you notice any changes?

@@LaidBackHomesteader Can’t say I have. I know the editing of your recap video was a pain for someone!

@@gregganderson1454 it definitely was. Ive started another project which will take a few days but im going to upload it in stages now that you've reminded me lol. Thanks for the feedback and continued support! 👍

Watch a few more videos to see if your right.

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm going to look into getting some green material at this point it's.kind of stopped composting I think too much carbon. Thanks

@@LaidBackHomesteader no problem good luck I know wood chips are hard to compost. As they are 99% carbon or something like that so plenty of nitrogen is needed 😁

I'm currently building a shed on that concrete slab.it will have a solar roof giving me a better power supply than the genie 😀

Oh I would already have started another batch only for a planned trip the Homesteaders of America Conference this October. The birds thrive on grass. If you were to try it get in touch I'm here to help

The avant is sone machine. I'd love a go in a newer version. If I ever get to the point of needing an all round machine the avant is in the running.

@@LaidBackHomesteader we have a 750 Avant great machine. I'm assuming your not far from coagh give Chris a shout at essener he great fella

@eoinodonnell7885 I already was in his yard looking to hire a 625 then I ended up getting the avant for a lend so couldn'trefuse. I towed it with the car!

Thanks for the advice regarding the rollers. It was my first time driving one They just handed the key lol

@@LaidBackHomesteader I drive roller on tarmac nearly every day just a wee trick the barrels may look strong but are easily damaged

@eoinodonnell7885 I knew the way you give advice you know what your on about. Thanks again

Thanks for the feedback Im glad you enjoyed watching the video. It was a long process documenting it at this end but if it helps someone that's why I did it.

No great insight every day is a school day. Looked like a bit of work but I'm sure it feels great to have gone true the process. Fair play lad you are doing great work, great to see your kids involved 👍

@@theoodonovan1118 We dont have to call them twice when theres chicken for dinner lol

That's the job, keep up the good work lad.

Great job showing us how chucky chick's can be reared. (Hi & lows). My only suggestion for the chicken tractor would be to cover the middle part with wire. I've have saw what 1 fox can do in the middle of the day. That chicken plucker is some job. Remember plucking many a bird back in the day. Are you doing turkey's for Christmas?

Thanks William. It took a while to edit. It was a really good experience watching how the birds react to changes. They really love being out on the grass. Are you enjoying watching my shorter videos more often or do you like the longer videos less often?

It did. I had to keep going back over the footage to see where I was in the video. at the start of the video i had the quality low by mistake only for someone commenting on another video the had watched and notified me otherwise the video would have been very low quality. Glad you enjoyed it

A lot I'm sure. That compost was just to use as a base layer to get something in the ground. When I start adding my own compost on top the earth worms will come. I've planted a green manure there to help with nutrients cycling. You'll see that in an upcoming video lol

Building is slow. 😏 Plenty of content 😁👌👍

Thanks 👍Ill be better planned out next season

Is that compost tea? Ill have a look here shortly. I was planning on spraying microorganisms (good bacteria) over the field but never got round to it. Dr Elaine Ingham. Check her out. Beware, its deep rabbit hole this soil science

@@LaidBackHomesteader it is indeed!! But yes something similar, I’ve had great results with it. The Johnson one I was talking about the use cubes to break the compost down you don’t have to break your back turning it lol!

@@ciaranthompson11 sounds like a good idea. Im going to make biochar at some point after i do a bit of hedging this winter. Plenty of work to be done. Ive a retort boiler sitting ready and the slab was poured for it a month ago.

@@LaidBackHomesteader best of luck love the videos, I’m from Monaghan originally now living in the states. Keep up the good work!

Yeah that compost was still steaming when i put it down. The turnips where planted the same day. Weeds didnt even grow!!
