Pam here…. Save your time and money building these little limited use chicshaws. Put a perimeter electric netting around all your boxes and a nice large rolling chicken house and let them do your boxes in the spring. Consider your garden box zone to be one of your rotational pastures for them. They can come back in the fall as well, to clean up when stuff is done producing and harvested.
Wow I don't know many adults that would be observant enough to say "You shouldn't be there when he's doing that" amazing children!
I am Moroccan, I like your videos, I like how the children help you on the farm,, Good luck
I love that Lilly is so confident in her ideas. And how you affirm her. I am not doing chickens, but then again, I believe information is never wasted, so it may come to good use some day.
I sure hope all the kiddoes decide to go into agriculture their lil brains are pushed and expanded every wich way its so fun to watch❤
You really make me think even us old people can do some of your projects and live to tell about it..ty..xoxo 🥰🖐👍🤟✌🤪
Lol Your kids are starting to tell YOU how to do things. What great kids!
If you travel along roadways keep a lookout for stuff people lose, lumber totes, mud flaps. Could be used for chicken tractor!
I used a 10x10 dog kennel with a roof (that part I built) to clear off a section of land where I wanted to expand my garden, but didn't want to spend the time removing the grass. 100% recommend that method!
Love watching you and your kids working. I am not a fan of the chaotic filming. It's difficult to watch all the stress and time restraints put on yourselves. Farming doesn't have to be measured by time stamps but by slowing down and enjoying the chores. Take out your time management so the kids and enjoy too!
Love you guys!
We are moving States so we'll be starting completely over. So I'll be matching my raised beds to the coops 😍
where are you heading and why? I am looking as well and love hearing why people choose certain states. I'm lookin at Missouri btw :)
@@bdb1052 from Pa to North Carolina near Raleigh. My husband had a better job opportunity so we are making to move! Longer growing season is already a huge perk!
@@MandaRae1 oh awesome! Good luck in your journey and yes longer growing season and mild(er) winters!
I cant wait to see what the boys achive in life with the manners, respect, knowledge, willpower, grit and determination y'all instilled in them, They take the lead on most projects and you just step back and trust they can do it you allow them to push the "boundries" on certain projects but not too far and it makes them believe in themselves you never shoot down an idea they have or ignore them you either attempt it or explain to them how it would not work, it must make you smile knowing they are going to be very strong indiviudals both mentally and physically
That's true, it's allways nice to see, how they are binding their kids into everything that's going on.
You are a great father.😅
Your kids are hard workers.
Yup. Lily was right about the butter. Always after bacon or it STICKS! She is amazing.
Wow, I like that decking on the bottom of the chicken tractor to help it slide easier! Nice, that chicken tractor fits really nice on the raised bed! I sure like your garden/chicken run permaculture design. I'm looking forward to your homestead builds book Justin! Your breakfast looks great! It's fun to watch Lily cook with you. She knows how to cook! Thanks for this video Rhodes family!
We made as you call (chicken tractors) 20 years ago. We called them rabbit tractors. Love the plastic at the bottom. Easy to move around.
History repeats it self ..I Love how the children have learned by doing .. 🥚 🥚
Thanks for sharing your progress & family life & for the back track to the older version. The lambs likely missed their herd & shelter. Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
Don't pull cats by the tail, you can easily damage their spine!
I wish the sheep had worked out in the raised bed xD
Came here to say that. As a lover of cats, that hurt me to watch.
I love cats but the damn cat is fine
this time maybe, did you not hear him yell in pain? I'm just trying to tell justin that isn't the correct way to handle a cat as nicely as possible. you obviously do not love cats if you can advocate for that sort of behavior.
Great video Justin! Mr Brown so excited to help! 👏👏👏 Farmer Henry getting cuter by the hour and Lily, just a confident young lady. The older boys as well growing up to fast, I already feel separation anxiety!😅❤ 🤗❤️
Bravo for showing children can also cook eveb young, and they mâle connection between their work at your side, and what feeds them.
I love your family and your vidéos, you give soooo much !
God bless all your family !!!
Love this revised chicken tractor idea you made, Justin. Always love your videos and family.
Love how lilly just gets in to help. She is the animal whisperer. 😍
Good day from Kamakura, Japan 🇯🇵! 🤩🐶👍🏾
Justin this is a Godsend. I was literally trying to figure something like this for my new chicks
I’m so excited for this new book! I built my first chick-shaw! All the new plans are so exciting and i’m so grateful you are willing to share what you know!
Justin: What tractor hit you in the face? LOL. Nice build. Love the multiple uses for the chicken tractor based on size.
Lily is sure getting ❤❤ more delightful and turning into a real beauty.😊😊
Dad, she's right would have been better with butter, lol. But seriously your kids voice their opinions all the time, in a respectful way. I think irs because you are respectful of their opinions and aren't afraid to say when they might have been right.
She wasn't wrong! Bacon grease is sticky, butter keeps eggs from sticking.
Hoping things settle down after the move so we can get back to the VLOGs we love and come for. These types of video are wonderful, but as supplements or like when life is crazy and filming is taking a backseat. It was wonderful when you switched back to the longer more informal VLOGs last year, and the 100 days of building the new homestead was wonderful content. But it sure does feel like things have changed (and not for the better) since returning from your vacation. The daily VLOGs are what many/most of us come for, and it doesn't matter if there is repetition, you do a great job narrating and story telling, and when you release vlogs daily or 3-4 times a week, its the first thing I tune in to watch. These videos... I'll just sum it up as meh in terms of replacing the VLOGs, but for supplements in addition to the VLOG they would be nice. A little more subject oriented following a project or theme over a longer period of time is nice.
Well i dislike vlogs and prefer videos edited arojnd a single subject. Different strokes for different folks
Very cool, love chickens and sheep.
Lillie is right. Everything is better with butter.
I like the L brackets addition. Will use when I build another one of your chicken tractora
Hello America on yt has a great chicken tractor design in a play list
This is one hard-working family ❤
I love how the children de-age mid video. Or how facial injuries come and go. Or the house changes from scene to scene.
Yea, The retro vision was a nice addition.😀
The entire point is he's showing start to finish how the chickens till so you can see how the whole system works. That's why the captions say 2 weeks later, 3 weeks later, etc. And he's used a similar system with a chicken tractor since 2016 he said so maybe he used clips from previous uses too.
All those beautiful egg! I can imagine all the wonderful pastries I could make! 🥰
As we don't see kids for a while there's that moment when you hear their voice and say "I know that voice. Only it came from somebody that was shorter, less hair." Yes, it was Jonah on the camera.
Lilly was spot on and didn't get ornery when she was right. She worked with it and you gave her the props she deserved.
That chicken tractor compared to those of the past seems to be a real coup of a Cadillac Coop. Something to ruminate on my friend would be a freeze dryer. Powdered eggs according to those dirt busters to the south of you at Cog Hill is pretty good, not too bad. Freeze dried veggies last for years. I love spinach, beet greens and more. Canning destroys some of the nutrients and you can rehydrate using chicken or beef stock.
I'm currently building one for quail and for chickens. I have the same white roofing 🫢😂
Justin, that is brilliant
I think your revised chicken tractor can be used for rabbits too.
And guinea pugs in warm weather❤
And their poo is readily available to plants.. no burn
Great how do DIY chicken project video.
I think for the sheep if you put a net around all the beds they would be more comfortable and jump in to eat the cover crop
Good job dad and kids!
Oh dear the things that folks are going to be saying when they see you grabbing and pulling that kitty out by her tail.
God bless the Rhodes family!💒🙏🥰❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🐑🐮🐣🐈⬛🐕🐐
Your production values are above the mean.
Just wondering, are you below 25?
I find this channel's content unwatchable now due to the new editing style (the 0.5 to 3-second clips jumbled together). I am very curious to find out who considers this style of video enjoyable to watch. I am assuming its an age thing.
I’m 22 and I can watch videos like these but it’s not my favorite. I prefer at least 10-15 seconds per clip.
Happy to see the perches.
Poor Ga~toe. Cool video thank you very helpful and full of living tree stuffs 👍
I like to tell people (from my experiences) don't put meat scraps in your compost if you don't want skunks coming round.. or bears etc...
Great revision 👍🤗
"add butter, ADD BUTTER" 😂
love your channel l just wish we could see more. I started out with 30 in 2020 I'm down to 5 in 2022 we got 4 sheep 🐑 now have 7 girls and 1 boy 🙂🙃🙂🙃
we need that Chickshaw 3.0 video, Justin!
Helpful reminder, pulling cats by tail can cause nerve damage.
Love this idea. Impatiently waiting for our town to change and let us have chickens in city limits. How do you store your eggs?
Our house loves your videos. You helped us want to get a homestead and we are working on getting land. We have a list of channels that we approved our kids to watch any videos because the channels are wholesome. You are a true inspiration however it bugs me that while my daughter is watching your video I look up at the moment you grab and pick the cat up by the tail. Sure the cat is probably fine but it saddens me that a channel that is approved for being family friendly in our home could risk spinal injury on a pet in front of viewers.
I was wanting to do this but I need to level my yard. I got some improvements to suggest.
I had to cut it short today. Many have complained about all the cuts. I’ve tried to hang in. Sorry, but if it’s going to be this way, I will have to delete. I wish your family well.
I unsubscribed a couple of years ago when he culled sheep for needing birth assistance. I guess he's never heard of a shepherd. Somehow I got sucked back in a couple of weeks ago. Now he's pulling cats by their tail. I bet it peed in his boots for that. 😂 anyway. I'm moving on. I can't take it.
Dude. You are living my dream
I want to do this!!!
We've been watching Justing Rhodes for years now and he inspired us to make our own little homestead here on our property in Hawaii. We are a small channel and would appreciate any support, love, and new subscribers to our community. Whether Justin knows it or not, he has made some crazy chicken ladies out of us haha:)
I think you should build a fish farm as well.
You just gave my husband something to build for his chicken to move them around the yard
Dad. They needed butter. Go Lily
Add butter. So cute. Lol🤗🇨🇦 I would also add butter.🧈
Probably the only genuine moment in the whole video.
I think that's a cool idea. Sure, there are easier ways to do this job, but there is nothing wrong with letting the chickens do the work for you.
Pam here….just put electric netting around the whole patch of the garden boxes. Let the chickens free range and have large rolling chick-Shaw at one end for about 20 of them. A lot less work and monkeying around. Easier to get the eggs and chickens got more space. Just treat the garden space as one of the rotational grazing spaces for them to do. Why waste all the money and time building those little things for a 4x8 box??
@@KeithandPamBilyeu he built those just for the raised bed.
That poor cat, why would you grab it by the tail? that's so mean :(
No animal husbandry whatsoever in this farm.
$700 IS JUST OT MUCH I will build one for about $200 native cut (ruff cut) not stopre bought but right form Amish saw mill. The wire and roofing is about $125.
So kids go look for the Amish for lumber and if u want it finished buy a planner It will pay for itself in just a few uses A grand will get u a good one Blades not that much and if u use only soft wood they will last a long time
add butter ADD BUTTER!!! lol
Have you thought about planting catnip to keep the cats going to one garden area rather than exploring your food garden areas?
Sorry I am late to the party on this. Would it make sense to do several of these squares together with the chickens, and after that creating a temporary enclosure and adding sheep or goats to till up the soil even more?
Just a curious guy that is fascinated by all of this, so any guidance would be very much appreciated.
Quite expensive especially as it’s American currency,but like you said find ole scrap online etc.🇨🇦
You need a shepherd hook wire to catch chickens....a piece of coat hanger a couple of feet long with a long slinder hook to catch the legs extremely handy duct tape on a broom handle you can reach out and hook them they don't see it coming
At night put a blue light bulb in their light and they will sit right down. My husband was raised on a chicken ranch and when the semi pulled in...blue light bulbs...you can pick them right up
Like the new tractor...how is the house going...What did you do to your face?
#ahorseforlily 🦄
😊
👍
ADD BUTTER!! 😂
Do you plan to include the building plans on Abundance+?
Add the butter!
Justin how long are you comfortable with leave fresh eggs out on the counter?
But how do you shift from one raised bed to the next? Do you have to catch and crate the chickens for the transition?
@Bogglemaster this is actual a million times better then tilling. Tilling damages your delicate soil balance, kill’s beneficial nematodes and works and creates a hard pan underneath your till. Chickens mix your garden bed without damaging the soil balance and leave behind beneficial fertilizer!
Vertigo warning..
Justin and family, Why not try to hatch the chicken eggs for more meat or sell chicks?
Please can someone tell me what deckers are? I looked it up but couldn't find anything.
$700 that’s crazy!
❤
You probably won't find this question, and I've looked in your past videos but what has happened to Teddy. Maybe I missed it, don't think so. Found videos on Laurel leaving and Winnie & Teddy arriving but not on Teddy leaving. Miss him! 😥
Just add butter 🧈 😂❤❤❤
I don't understand what he puts under the chicken tractor to make it slide easily. Does anyone know?
Plastic decking boards.
@@fionagregory-wisdom4wellne235 Thank you ! 🙏
@justin
What type of chickens do you have?
My chickens can hope like 6 ft. How do I confine these crazy birds
You could add rabbits if you didn't have chickens, and rabbit manure doesn't have to compost first
They are not good with rabbits. They got four a couple of years ago I think one is left .
I loved the videos but can’t handle the two second screen changes, what happened?
Do the chickens make it through the winter in the coop? I’m around the zone 6a area.
you okay man you got a cut on your face hope you're okay i love your videos
🙏🏻❤️👍🏻😃
We have issues with predators digging under our chicken tractor
2 people on the nest😂🤣
This is a dumb question, but why do cover crops on the beds? It looks like just some type of grass? Then putting chickens on it to till it up and remove the cover crop over the course of 2 weeks per bed. Why not just leave it covered with the plastic tarp so it's ready or just not plant any cover crop so it's just empty or a few weeds the chickens can take care of in a few days?
The cover crop adds nutrients to the soil.
