Shoutout to big Kat!!🙌🙌 she helped us out a ton with our sweet baby chicks. We are beyond grateful to have such an awesome community of people who are interested in our channel. Thank you to everyone who comments and helps with our farming education every week ❤❤ y'all the real heroes
Here in Trinidad, there is something called pip, which is a bump on the tip of the tongue, using a nail clipper or small scissors and cut it off. Much love from the Caribbean
once let a bunch of eggs hatch and ended up with a BUNCH of roosters...when they got of age, they started picking at my main guy, pictured (in the email sent)...could not bring myself to kill them off, so gradually, they got left outside at night and the predators of the sky got them. Saved a hen once from that hawk. With too many roosters, they compete and hens will stop laying. Just saying.
Matt , check out two wheel electric wheel barrows , it comes as a kit that you install , they can move hundreds of pounds up steep grades, your future body will thank you and you will be much more productive
Not many "content providers" are able to come up with two different and compelling stories but you have. More importantly you are no doubt teaching people to step out of their comfort zone and take a chance in life to do something completely different. Wishing you many years of health and happiness in your new jungle paradise.
With babies you really just have to keep them warm, dry, and check that poop hole. ( they get stopped up easily) and really need to feed Medicated chick food for first month.
The bamboo roof on the chicken coop is beautiful. I'm so happy your feathered baby is doing better you two are going to make amazing parents proud of you two God Bless you 💕
That ain't a chicken coop, that is a love pad villa in the middle of the jungle. Any bird would love to go back there for some midnight magic. I love watching your videos kids. And I learn something new each time
As a TH-cam Spanish student, I would recommend "The Language Tutor Spanish", although I use a variety of channels. This guy has a great approach to teaching in a logical order. I have been going through it pretty fast and forget some of it. It's good to follow his advice and really get each lesson down before getting too ahead of yourself. You can practice while you're working and enjoy learning together and with your neighbours. Your lives will be enriched very much after a year or 2 of studying and becoming bilingual. Thanks for the video.
I hope your chicken person told you that you need to keep new ones cooped up for a couple of weeks before you let them free range. When you do let them out oyster shells are good for their craw and spread what feed you give them out over a large area to encourage them to seek out other sources of feed. Y'all have a long way to go but you'll get there. Your eggs will be almost orange and full of protein. It is refreshing to see young people on a good journey.
When you were picking up that bamboo I could just picture a T-rex poking its head around trees to see what the ruckus was. You guys are living a dream. Soo cool. Much respect. Roof gives special ambiance to the chickies. Works, and its a crafting marvel, good job. I cut oriental bamboo back in early 80's, On an abandoned nursery gone wild near Orlando. we cut 30 footers, just wanted the lower 3 feet. At base we laid a hatchet on angle, drove in with hammer. Filled a van with stocks to craft. Daytona boardwalk store. ***A bamboo crafting tip: get a fire going, and take 16 penny nail on some handle, and get it red hot. then push thru for no split nail holes! Works on big holes, too. Red hot sharpened pipe. Same with cutting, easy to burn thru it with an angle grinder with 6" cut-off wheel. No splintering! Make any design on it. And you can deburr/chamfer with the same tool. It's" Naught," not "knot;" or "not." Frank the tank, It is what it is. Best of luck, Adventure onward!
Guys be careful with that heat lamp. We get temps in the minus numbers and i only use a regular light bulb for the worst nights for heat. Chickens are hearty. As long as they have a draft free/dry coop, they are usually good. You live in a jungle, man, it cant be that cold there! Wondering if you can move that new coop enclosure close to the other one so you can kinda triple the little yard areas? That bamboo roof looks cool as hell. You are so sweet to your animals. ❤
Great to see you two again! Beautiful area that you picked. Terrific that you are making progress and treating the young chick. You are especially talented and hard workers with great ideas and the two of you make a terrific couple. BRAVO
Matty the inner peice of the bamboo is calllleeeddddd , wait for itttttt , the ( INNER RIB ) . ya ninni. P.S. just love you guys and whet yer doing ...
I like the color Kristin!!!!!! The roof is Very Gilligan's Islandish.....COOL!!!!!! The paint is very Mash 4077ish as well!!!! So they work together well!!!!!!
I have had the same problems when I had chickens,mites and baby's under a heat lamp. Baby's born natural too, it's all a adventure and learning. 500 to 1000 meter block of land , vegetable patch, herbs and fruits grown too.
Color is great! Painting wood, even treated wood, will make the wood last years longer. Matt, look into a Kreg joiner jig for this butt joints. It will make them way stronger for any size wood and is super quick. Add a cable with a turnbuckle to you door and it will stay square longer. You guys are killing it down there! Can’t wait to see the next episode.
Congratulations!!! 🎈🎈I just noticed you hit 200K Subscribers. That is quite an accomplishment. GBU has become a weekly event for my wife and I for quite a while now. Great production and always a storyline that draws you in. Thanks for taking us along.
😀👍👍👍❤ Hello again from Seattle, WA. (Northwest USA) Wow 200K subscribers and a lot of useful comments from them as well. This all speaks very highly of the both of you! I always knew Bear had good parents! You both take care and thank you for the great video.
ปีที่แล้ว +3
Same level of excitement as me watching myself mow the lawn on the ring doorbell
You two are killing it in the engineering, design and execution of building the chicken coop! Kristen, the color looks great! It blends with the jungle and the bamboo roof. I love you two and your back and forth banter. Yall both are made for tv. I'm so glad I found your channel. Best of luck for next week!!
Hey Kat N Matt. Try Diatomaceous earth. Put it in their food, spread in on the ground in the coop and run. It keeps mites, ticks, and internal worms off your pets..
Propane torch and a nice char finish before you painted or roofed.....Makes it more weather proof and last considerably longer. Boiled linseed oil also helps preserve and protect wood from bugs and rot. Environmentally friendly as well.
Your patience with all that is going on in your lives is something that you can be proud of. Hope you're off camera lives are as good as what you post in your video's.
You Guys sure don't have to worry about going to the Gym , very motivating , 71 yrs old living in the country on a somewhat ov a Homestead , reminds of my Youth Love you Guys
Your love and care for your little chicken really inspires me! Love is what really matters in our life here on earth, and ya all are showing the world a good example! ❤❤❤
Matt, just don't forget, bamboo is desert for termites, they go after it like kids want icecream. Roofing is ok, but if it gets near the ground the termites get at it pronto.
2 pieces of tin roof and 20 minutes up and done,also light weight and waterproof. You can use tin ridge cap to fix issue trying to use bamboo for it,also water proof all lumber that touches ground,Henry’s or spar polyurethane🤙🏽Or perhaps on cement blocks
Matt, can I suggest that you spend the time making a workbench for sawing, it will save you a lot of time over the long run, be a lot safer than sawing wood on the ground, and save you from back/knee pain.
Hello guys saw your chicken coop build, suggestion any place on the end of your bamboo place some screening over every opening on the bottom, this will stop bird infiltration or bees from building a home in there and you getting stung. FYI
Your resourcefulness, your respect for nature & critters and your vision of a special homestead, all make for a compelling story. Good Puertorriqueños!
The henhouse bamboo roof sounds fantastic! Collecting rain water is genius. Can also use a channel with a tube designated to run directly into water trough, low-laying for the free rangers. Or onto a small Man-made shallow Pond for your ducks and other fowl to Bathe and Drink …nearest the homestead. Find some polywogs (tree frogs) and others goodies for the pond. Soon it will create its own eco system. It does. Have to a large pond. But it’s so beneficial and lovely Theo sit around enjoying the sound of trickling water and at night the frogs will lull you to sleep. I love mine. Oh, and you could add gold fish, but the birds would eat them unless you made hiding places under heavy rocks. The Racoons and Blue Heron keep eating fish… but we don’t have enough Hiding safe-house in there for them, yet, still. Note, best if can, add a pump (even a small one is better than none) to circulate the still water in a pond so that it does not allow for mosquitoes to breed. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant still water, but not if moving/flowing. As I’m watching your process, hoping you add a bamboo-gutter for the inside pen with bamboo opening facing downward. I’m so confused, can’t tell what’s up or down,😂😂😂. Smaller diameter bamboo over the open faces be best. Oh well, it’s done by tie. We watch anyways. Hahaha, bird-doo colored henhouse. 😂😂😂Kristen is funny
Great the way you care about animals in general. You just dont see that so much these days. The color looks good on the coup. Love the idea of a bamboo roof. High five to a great innovative idea.🎉
Hey Guys, keep in mind Hurricane’s when you’re building. I grew up in Puerto Rico and was there for Maria. Wooden structure need to be reenforced and have good foundation. 80% of homes in the island are cement for this reason. Love your channel, best of luck!

shout out to big Kat and all your subs. Such a great community
~ Get Him a tool belt for Christmas!
Oh girlfriend...primer...primer....usually done before the paint is put on...also helps with degradation of the wood 🙂
Put some mesh windows in that coop. Chickens need good ventilation.
Looking great so far!
WHATEVER U KIDS DO IS AWESOME, DON'T EVER CHANGE WHO U R. LUV U BOTH.
Matt , check out two wheel electric wheel barrows , it comes as a kit that you install , they can move hundreds of pounds up steep grades, your future body will thank you and you will be much more productive
Shout-out to gbu for being my #1 fans and biggest supporter. Thanks U2.🎉
I loved the chicken coop/chicken poop 💩 comment. Starts my Sunday morning with a good laugh 😆
You're like the modern day Tarzan and Jane..Another great video, thanks for taking us on your journey.

Thanks for always starting off the week with smiles and laughter! So glad Frank the Tank is doing better!!
🐥
I Love how the bamboo roof turned out it looks great!!
That ain't a chicken coop,
that is a love pad villa in the middle of the jungle.
Any bird would love to go back there for some midnight magic.
I love watching your videos kids.
And I learn something new each time
bacon, eggs, coffee, popcorn....I'm set for another episode of Puerto Rico Green Acres 😄
Quality content! Why you guys aren't at a million plus subscribers yet is beyond me. Such a chill beautiful show for a Sunday. Thanks!
I'm sorry....but I have to say....Big strong Matt....is the biggest softy ever....and to me that's endearing. Love what you guys are doing now.
We spray the hole-coop with paraffin , it kills all mites and eggs, is not harmful to you and your birds, and it really does work ❤

What about making a trough/gutter off the roof to a bucket to supplement water for the birds?

these 2 are very rare indeed
You both are great, I love the fact that you care so much about your animals…the way it should be!
That bamboo made me think of Gilligan's island
Groovy, brilliant, amazing, beautiful and very trippy baby doll. You guys are rocking it like Swiss Family Robinson. What a cool adventure.
When you were picking up that bamboo I could just picture
a T-rex poking its head around trees to see what the ruckus was.
You guys are living a dream. Soo cool. Much respect.
Roof gives special ambiance to the chickies.
Works, and its a crafting marvel, good job.
I cut oriental bamboo back in early 80's,

A fan here, admirer... lets raise funds for four track.. you need one... Totally enjoying the process. Bests for both

Thank you David 🙌
The footage is just spectacular!!!!
Matt, you’re ingenious!
Both of you guys are just soOoo fun to watch…just love you guys both!!!
You guys are hard working good folks!❤
That bamboo roof is awesome! Natural resources ❤
Matty the inner peice of the bamboo is calllleeeddddd , wait for itttttt , the ( INNER RIB ) . ya ninni. P.S. just love you guys and whet yer doing ...
I like the color Kristin!!!!!! The roof is Very Gilligan's Islandish.....COOL!!!!!! The paint is very Mash 4077ish as well!!!!
So they work together well!!!!!!
All life is precious. It’s obvious you both love your babies very much. That’s why so many love watching your channel.. keep up the great work..
Chicks do die sometimes. I’m glad you got help. 🎉❤Sending healing vibes.
We're all with you Kristen and Matt, don't chicken out now😂❤❤❤
I have had the same problems when I had chickens,mites and baby's under a heat lamp. Baby's born natural too, it's all a adventure and learning. 500 to 1000 meter block of land , vegetable patch, herbs and fruits grown too.
It's a frigging masterpiece. It deserves a chicken coup design award. Well done guys!!🎖🏆🙌
You should use another bamboo to put a gutter off the inside. Keep up the good videos!
Definitely planning the bamboo gutter system
Color is great! Painting wood, even treated wood, will make the wood last years longer. Matt, look into a Kreg joiner jig for this butt joints. It will make them way stronger for any size wood and is super quick. Add a cable with a turnbuckle to you door and it will stay square longer. You guys are killing it down there! Can’t wait to see the next episode.
Let me be the first to congradulate you on getting your 200k subs! (you're so close... it's going to happen this week!)
Congratulations!!! 🎈🎈I just noticed you hit 200K Subscribers. That is quite an accomplishment. GBU has become a weekly event for my wife and I for quite a while now. Great production and always a storyline that draws you in. Thanks for taking us along.
10/29/23 - You guys are amazing! Chicken coup looks Great! Love following y'all every week!
The color blends nicely with the cool bamboo roof.
Watching you two colonize Puerto Rico is the best part of my day.
Thanks Kat, you saved "Frank the Tank"! Great work guys, the Coop looks awesome.
Matt. You are a bulldozer and an engineer combined. Great problem solver!
I miss your adventures at sea, but am more impressed with this new journey... Cant wait until completed.
These couples work really hard for their lifes. Keep it up with the good work. We will always support you.
😀👍👍👍❤ Hello again from Seattle, WA. (Northwest USA) Wow 200K subscribers and a lot of useful comments from them as well. This all speaks very highly of the both of you! I always knew Bear had good parents! You both take care and thank you for the great video.

😂😅
Congratulations🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 to both you guys 👏 👏 👏 👏 from 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
I love the color Kristen it matches the landscape. Antibiotuics are usually the answer You just need te one an animal can tolerate. 24hours is fast.
You two are killing it in the engineering, design and execution of building the chicken coop! Kristen, the color looks great! It blends with the jungle and the bamboo roof.

You two always do nice work! Love watching.
Great color! Keep inspiring us. We are glued.
Also Matt is killing it in bushcraft chicken coops🐤
"Come for the sailing videos, stay for the DIY home building and animals rescues....🐱🐱🐱⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
nice job on the roof, think about a water catch system since the water travels down the bamboo. down drain into a catch barrel for free water.
That bamboo roof was a lot of work but man it looks awesome! Way cooler than ply and ecologically positive.
Good morning g b u family,all is good with the day now.
You Guys sure don't have to worry about going to the Gym , very motivating , 71 yrs old living in the country on a somewhat ov a Homestead , reminds of my Youth Love you Guys
What a beautiful peace of property...
Your love and care for your little chicken really inspires me! Love is what really matters in our life here on earth, and ya all are showing the world a good example! ❤❤❤
Matt, just don't forget, bamboo is desert for termites, they go after it like kids want icecream. Roofing is ok, but if it gets near the ground the termites get at it pronto.
Excellet video. Great shots, editing and sound. Impressive!
2 pieces of tin roof and 20 minutes up and done,also light weight and waterproof. You can use tin ridge cap to fix issue trying to use bamboo for it,also water proof all lumber that touches ground,Henry’s or spar polyurethane🤙🏽Or perhaps on cement blocks
I started watching your sailing adventures, which Re awesome, but I find jungle green acres more enjoyable 💙
Thank you, alot of people miss the boat but we're really enjoying land life
So glad you guys don't have a bunch of jailhouse tattoos! 😊
Coop is looking really good guys! Glad Frenk/Frankie is on the mend and I hope the rest are healthy too.
Matt, can I suggest that you spend the time making a workbench for sawing, it will save you a lot of time over the long run, be a lot safer than sawing wood on the ground, and save you from back/knee pain.
Nice tight job on that door!!!
Maybe a diagonal board from bottom hinge corner to top outside corner? It could keep it strong and tight.
A wire would also work run as suggested.
@@mikefi3257 Oh! That is clever...it is tension though...so maybe that should run from top hinge to bottom outside?
@@BreakingBarriers2DIY Yes, I did mine that way. Used a turnbuckle to adjust it. Worked well on a much bigger gate.
👏👏👏👏
Because of you guys now I am thinking on buying my own parcel of land. Thank you for the inspiration you give me.
I’m loving the music! Your “scoring” of your videos make me feel like a movie ❤
Hello guys saw your chicken coop build, suggestion any place on the end of your bamboo place some screening over every opening on the bottom, this will stop bird infiltration or bees from building a home in there and you getting stung. FYI
By the way, I like the chicken coop color you chose
Your resourcefulness, your respect for nature & critters and your vision of a special homestead, all make for a compelling story. Good Puertorriqueños!
Tip for bamboo roof... do the first layer facing up then a second layer facing down sat into the first row. Rain will run off 99.99% water proof.
Gilligan and The Professor would be proud of you guys!
The henhouse bamboo roof sounds fantastic! Collecting rain water is genius. Can also use a channel with a tube designated to run directly into water trough, low-laying for the free rangers. Or onto a small Man-made shallow Pond for your ducks and other fowl to Bathe and Drink …nearest the homestead. Find some polywogs (tree frogs) and others goodies for the pond.

Really like you guys. We enjoy every minute of your broadcasts, we have been following since you guys started.
Again what can I say you guys are unbelievable!!!!!! Love to watching you guys on the boat love watching this what a job with that coop
Nice coop, you will find joy in your extra efforts
Always here for support.
Stay safe.
Great the way you care about animals in general. You just dont see that so much these days. The color looks good on the coup. Love the idea of a bamboo roof. High five to a great innovative idea.🎉
I can imagine working with Matt on a construction site. With his comments it would totally lighten the mood .😅
Loving the bamboo
Hey Guys, keep in mind Hurricane’s when you’re building. I grew up in Puerto Rico and was there for Maria. Wooden structure need to be reenforced and have good foundation. 80% of homes in the island are cement for this reason. Love your channel, best of luck!
Love you guy's never give up. Rock stars.
Die Farbe für den Stall ist voll in Ordnung. Sieht in der Umgebung gut aus.
Here’s an idea! Take some palm fronds and other interesting plants, put them against the coop and spray paint stencils.
Love the bamboo solution for the roof! Talk about repurposing! The chickens will be happy with their new home.
Good job Mathew & "Kristian"!
🙏🦉
I love sundays... Best day ever imo. For Obvious reasons.
Great job on the roof using natures bounty and saving money.
Really miss the welcome back to sailing gbu at the start can we have welcome to building gbu love the channel keep up the good work
Love the problem solving both when sailing and your crazy new project in the tropics of PR.
Most beautiful photography...
