Awesome job , can’t wait to see it being used in the winter with the pigs . Not only are you a marine farmer guy but a Gadget inventor marine guy ! Love it! 🤪
Awsome job! Thanks for sharing this will all of us!!! Thank you for your service to our country and for helping veterans get started with farming!!! I am not a military vet but I am a firefighter/emt in our small community!
The nice thing about the small structures is modularity and portability. I move chickens all over 3 counties. But I had to go bigger scale like you, so I just find an area in the field to stick them when not in use and built more structures. Kind of the same deal, but hoop houses on skis. I have a bunch of old hoop houses.
Fantastic. I have moved away for the Joel S syrup chicken Tractors as well. They are fine if you have young employees to harvest your children out of. But at 44 I am not bending and getting on my knees chasing them birds.
Jordan, hello. I'm watching you from Türkiye. Your new dual purpose coops are beautiful. Congratulations, you made a great choice. Their size allows them to do great work, reducing human labor. I want to ask something. Where do you keep the chickens and turkeys when you move the pigs into these coops in the winter?
I was a DoD teacher on a base overseas for 5 years. Prior to that at Ft Stewart for 1.5 years. Reintegration was tough for many. Being able to be their own boss, plus working outside doing physical labor would be just the ticket. Sure beats being stuck inside without someone looking over their shoulder all day. Thanks for your service and for offering your knowledge to your brothers in arms. God bless you.
Definitely an improvement of the old 2' tall structures.What did you use for the 'skids'? I notice they were curved up at the ends and obviously metal - 6"? I'll be building some chicken and turkey tractors and trying to decide whether to order some Schooners, build my own or modify a pre-fab structure like you did. Thanks for sharing. Dennis
Looks great! Never been a fan of the low tractors because of heat. Look forward to see how they perform for the dual purpose as well as during high heat weather.
Great. I like the torque feature of your design. You had 10 years of observation of what works for you...6 grand is a good price. No slavery to the bank is important!🍄🌈😃🤙
I know in our area you may not have to worry about it but once a year or even three, but was the fact that snow will not slide off the horizontal ribbed roof a factor for how you constructed?
Hey that looks GREAT. I live on the plains of Kansas and we can get gusts up to 60 MPH, how do you think that would do in that kind of wind? Thanks for the great video and idea 😁
Question. Please. Regarding piglet housing. Perhaps 40 weaner piglets per unit. This unit is 2- x 24" 48- square feet. 12 square feet each. I can imagine up to 46 or 48. Depending on litter sizes. For what average length of time will piglets be housed in these units? Up to about what carcass live weight?

Please make a video of your construction of your building your next shelter

Do you have any experience containing animals on uneven ground with your mobile pens? I appreciate your vids…

Old conveyer belting from a quarry might be good to reduce cost of the mats-- great video and design of the structure!
Very well done Jordan.
Any cost-effective practical application have two votes from me.
Thanks for sharing.

4" galvanized pipe. We fabbed the base ourselves.
Looks great!

Very cool Jordan. We built our own MRC for this season. We love it, but my shins are jealous of your clear span design.
Yeah that was another thing I didn't want to deal with. Those cross bars look quite "trippy"
This is great, thanks for sharing Jordan.
Why do you go with Cornish chickens over other breeds such as red rangers?
That’s really cool using mats around the bottom.
I was thinking about something like this as well. Glad to see more mobile structures that can have multi use.
Interested in this. Looking forward to your pig production videos,,,,,,,,,, “ASH” ……ALL SEASON HOUSES
Mega świetne rozwiązanie!!! 😉🖖
I did the Simpson style tractors this year, next year I’m doing something like what you have there. 👍✌️🇨🇦❤️
Could something like this be moved with a side by side ranger or would it need a tractor?
Tractor or pickup. Our gator spins out trying to pull it.
And its much easier to catch and load birds come processing time
Indeed!
Great. I like the torque feature of your design. You had 10 years of observation of what works for you...6 grand is a good price. No slavery to the bank is important!🍄🌈😃🤙
How well did this work for pigs?
Add a solar powered winch programmed to move the building an inch per hour or so and you wont have to move them by tractor any more.
Good idea if you have a massive anchor to connect to.
do u benefit from manure left behind in any form? Grazing bailing?
For sure, we graze the pastures with both cows and pigs.
Looking forward to see it transform for winter! Great build!
Same here! First piglets should be mid September..
Very smart design Jordan! I would say this new design is much more predator proof. Any issues with moving the birds and running them over?
Nice idea. That's why I keep looking for videos from you.
What was the temperature 🌡 degree when you recorded this and what was the date please?
Where do they sleep?
Personally I would put them on rails, then they are more stable and lighter to move
I know in our area you may not have to worry about it but once a year or even three, but was the fact that snow will not slide off the horizontal ribbed roof a factor for how you constructed?
Outstanding!!!
well done
Love the channel do you have any plans for your dprc
not yet.
Solid idea, how can these be 6k$?
Great design. is it possible for grazing goats.
Great idea, I'm wondering how many pigs that could provide shade for? I'm in FL so less concerned with winter than the extreme heat of summer.
About 25
Hey that looks GREAT. I live on the plains of Kansas and we can get gusts up to 60 MPH, how do you think that would do in that kind of wind?
Thanks for the great video and idea 😁
We had 60-70 mph storm and it moved it about 2 inches.

A lot of thought and great design. Thanks for sharing
puth wood slaps under the structer so the metalen dosen where out
Do you butcher your own chickens?
The DPRC looks very efficient!!
Yes, we do process our birds on farm.
Can u send a link to the items needs to build this?
Hi there, did you make a follow up video with the piglets using this structure?
Not yet.
I built something very similar how did you do the sled part or find the products for that
We custom fabricated the bottom.

Up to about what carcass live weight?
Just for weaning. Probably a month or 6 weeks.
@@FarmBuilder Thanks Jordan.
Give gas!
Damn. You are just an engineering genius.
جميل جدا💚💚💚
John, why do you not have broilers in the Winter?? Thanks
Birds don't do well out on pasture in the winter weather here.
Special Utility Pullet Residence and Dual Purpose Pig'Rator (SUPR DPPR aka the SUPER DUPER)
😆 impressive!!
@@FarmBuilder I had 25 minutes to spare today while eating lunch - this was the most my brain could muster on a Sunday - lol.
You nailed it, really
Very nice. Well though out
Justin Rhodes sent me!
Pretty darn innovative!
👍👍💵
I like ...
Looks really good! Nice work!
Leave it to a veteran to create an acronym for everything 😂
🥰🥰
I think a hoophouse on these skids would work, too.
Yes, pretty much anything would bolt up.
Where buy the skids?
We manufactured them ourselves.
@@FarmBuilder What is the diameter of the skid pipe?
4" galvanized.
