KNOX URBAN HOMESTEAD
США
Добавлен 30 ноя 2011
Just a urban homesteader who loves God. Come with us as we learn to grow our own meat in our 1/4 acre property in the outskirts of town in the lower desert of Arizona. I share some gardening and cooking videos as well.

My plants can't take the high winds so I have to protect them with this thing I put together.

CHICKEN PROCESSING DAY! (OUR FIRST TIME)
This is very cool. As a teacher, I made butter with my class many times. We took turns shaking it in a small plastic container and then the children got to eat it with some crackers. I've never done this before but I definitely will give it a try!
15 dollars in wood 300 dollars in buckets
Nice idea. I like that
That isn’t food grade plastic. Scary.
I know but that's all I can afford
@@knoxurbanhomestead The hardware barn/liquor store and deli around the corner buys dill pickles in 5 gallon buckets and they sell the used (food grade) buckets with lids for 2 bucks.
@@nunyabusiness5075 Do you happen to know the cross streets?
@@knoxurbanhomestead It's around the corner for me, from Arizona it's about 2500 miles. I mentioned it because there might be a similar situation near you with a restaurant or deli that gets rid of used buckets (cheap) they get food delivered in.
@@nunyabusiness5075 oh got cha! Yea, I'll ask around
You spend all the money on buckets you could have just got the dirt what a waste of money
A lot of these buckets I already had laying around the backyard and it would have taken a lot more dirt to fill the whole bed, I only used 2 and a half bags of dirt so no, it was actually cheaper done my way.
If it works it works.
If you fill the bottom with wood, like logs, it eats up a lot of that extra space so the dirt costs less
Very true, I've done that before in the past but I also like the idea of being able to move the plants around. I might do that on the little plot next to it next time.
Nice i like this❤
It’s called water glassing. And your pickling lime didn’t even dissolve.. it’s supposed to be kept dark covered up..
Actually no, you're wrong, the pickling lime does not have to be completely dissolved. It was stirred for 5 mins in the water before introducing the eggs and even after that the lime does not have to be fully dissolved. Also this room is pitch dark all the time, nobody goes in this room so the light is never turned on. Do more research pls.
Your rooster is gorgeous 😍
I'll be subscribed to both 😍 love your channel and personality 💖
I love her!!! That’s exactly me!!! My husband has to take over !!! But I’m a great helper!! AND supervisor!! I bring him beer and he is happy!!! Btw I’m in Vail AZ high neighbor!!
I had similar problems I had to change there food to a better more nutrient dense food just to let you know and reversed in in like 2 weeks but read the back of the chick feed your giving them it cost a little more but your chicks will be in better health when they start laying or ready for harvest
The rooster stressing her out lol women
Hi Dear, I saw your RUclips channel video and understood that Very nice video. You have 353 subscribers but videos are not more watched and subscribers because your video is not SEO. I have analyzed and realized that your RUclips channel is not progressing and improving. It is responsible for: 1. Channel videos are not properly SEO 2. Videos are not reaching the people 2. There is no rank tag in the Video 3. Video SEO score is 25 out of 100 but SEO score should be 90+ to rank video 5. Channels tags not good quality 6. No video tag and other technical problems Do you want all the problems solved? I can help you.

I know by now they are eating but my baby seramas when I hatched them i tapped the food dish with my finger nail to mimic eating and they took to it right away its how i get them to try something new even now after 17 weeks.
pekins are way better for meat
Very nice run. I'm eventually going to do one similar as a secondary so I can switch back and fourth as each run recovers (grows vegetation), but like you said, time and money. Regarding hardware cloth, you only need to use that on the lower 3.5 feet - 6 inches buried to prevent digging and the 3 feet height to prevent breaches by raccoons, bobcats, possums and the like, as they can tear up chicken wire like its not there. The primary and extension my chickens have now are a $200 Amazon 9x13 and a 17x17 I made out of deer posts, hardware cloth, chicken wire, 2x4 headers to stop the wind from folding it in and 40% shade cloth for the roof; (I'm in FL). It's held up great against the winds so far. Feed Tip: All my birds get the same base food; 21% crude protein grind and I restrict them to roughly 4.2 ounces per bird, per day. Calcium is free choice so the pullets don't really bother with it until they start laying. There are plenty of normal pebbles around. I have meat birds as layers so have to be more strict with food. It's a little more upkeep but I should end up with a fast growing, meaty heritage breed over time.
I go with screws that take Torx bits. They are amazing.
I was going to say the same thing. Phillips is just so testy to work with when using a drill. It be nice if we could get some reasonable priced hardened steel bits, but since almost every box comes with a bit it's not so bad. It's near wrecked by the end though, sometimes just before.
She’s so good and calm while you’re working with her. Question. Now that you have spent so much time with her, is it going to make harvesting her harder? We would like to do meat chickens, but I become so attached to our chickens, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to go through with the processing part. I wish I could be stronger, because it’s obviously better to eat your own meat chickens rather than Walmart meat. It’s also how God intended. I do believe God has been trying to prepare me for such a time. I fall head over heals for every one of my chickens. It rips my heart out when they die. 💔😔
That is a legitimate question, we dispatched her the next day and I did feel a tiny bit sad but not enough to stop me from doing it or broke my heart either. I think you should definitely raise your own meat, total difference from Walmart meat, for this, you definitely must grow a thick skin if you know you are the kind of person that would get attached and be able to separate your emotions to the fact that you are providing clean food for your family, besides, having a great amount of meat in the freezer saved up would help if the economy goes down the pooper because of what is going on in the Middle East. Be prepared.
@@knoxurbanhomestead That is very good advice. Thank you.
What about a antibiotic cream?
There is no real antibiotic cream over the counter unless prescribed by a vet, there is a lot of antimicrobial and multipurpose cream fir helping woulds and the spray that I used was exactly that. The natural antibiotic I made for her to eat and the foot treatment seemed to work. She healed 100%
Use betadine as a soak and use the cotton pads. cant see what the name of the cream is.
Epsom salt is usually what we use but was thinking of betadine too.
Oh yes I forgot, the name of the cream is Itchthammol Ointment and we bought it at Walgreens
Meat bird or pet. Life matters❣

Please show me how to slaughter chicken beautiful madam
I love your channel I'm over in west Pheonix. I got 5 chicks about 6 weeks ago they were supposed to be all girls but one is a rooster
Well now you can hatch out more chicks🐣🐤🐥🥺
@@daniellanning115 just worried about neighbors complaining about the noise.
@@judithmiller6289 Understandable
Thank you! We used to live in Surprise, AZ before moving to the east valley!👋
@@judithmiller6289eat it
My buddy in Tuscon has a skunk. tearing up his garden.
Very helpful video thank you, I pretty much do the same thing plus I add misters underneath they're shade tree, I think it's helpful because another way chickens naturally cool off beside they're legs and feet is thru they're comb and waddels and I can tell my girls enjoy it too.
very blyat interesting
Creative use of pallets. Lots of them wasted every day. I dismantled a bunch of eight footers and used them to create a ceiling for my garage.
Wouldn’t lizards be good for your compost? They eat some of the organic material but leave behind their scat which is full of microbes and attract additional insects; both break down organic matter into basic nutrients.
Although they do eat plants mostly, they also eat insects like roaches and ants so I wouldn't want their poop in my compost but what bothers me the most is that they dig holes and throw the straw out of the pile.
Lol!!!! You guys are hilarious 😂
The first little cute eggs are so exciting. Your sons reaction 😅
With fertilizers and stuff 😂
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. These are great suggestions. Arizona has had a rough go of it this summer. You guys hang in there!
where did you get your chicks?
I got them at Inspire Farms in Mesa, AZ
thank you@@knoxurbanhomestead
If you’re thinking of getting chickens I can’t stress it enough do research on the birds heat tolerance and I would only recommend heritage breeds they are in my experience just so much hardier when it comes to cold or heat. My heritage breeds are barely fazed by the 90+ and 100 degree humid heat in South Georgia. I have never lost a single bird to heat or cold because I only keep heritage breeds.
Thanks now go wash your hands
I like it. I think it's super important to have a prayer board as a reminder. I like to keep a gratitude expo board.
His reaction was hilarious
❤
I wish I could get mine to wade in on their own. I have to lift mine in.
Yew. U eat ur babies????
I use 2 fans in their run (outside of fencing); we buy bags of ice and keep in a good cooler on the porch that keeps for about 3 days and I add pitchers of ice to their water trough a few times a day (they love ice cubes!) I also wet down their coop and run when it’s really hot. I give them cold fruits (melons).
Yes! They love ice, they wait til they get small size and they start eating them, so funny to watch
Love the video. I live in the desert and added misters after we had done all the above and still lost a hen. Believe it or not, my chickens love the misters in the heat of the day.
Ginger is cooling
Awesome score! And project
I sow herb seeds in those little domed planters too. They’re the trick to great germination 😊
Oh wow! I can’t imagine that heat. Good information
