I've found that a really good racoon bait is a snickers bar. And an Alum tan is how I preserve fur on hides.

One of the best presentations I have seen on the subject. Brief, honest, to the point. The mesh under the roosting bar is brilliant.

What a beautiful family! Wow!!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video - well done *Dad points too!

idk why he's making it sound so serious... >.> dog, build a better house, pewpew ...

Dog...traps...firearm

Get a dog 🐕 🙄

Dig the chicken wire in two feet deep so it can’t dig in or pull it up!

everything loves chicken.

I thought I was watching Clint Eastwood

awesome work, but a more permanent way of protecting your birds of course would be an electric fence, but another layer of defence would be giving your birds access to a higher up more fortified roost, as racoons, opossums and such cant jump as high as chickens can. it seems to be working good, we've had the system for a little more than a year now with 0 casualties.

EXCELLENT points @10:00. Good philosophy. The man who can fail small, and learn from it, is waaaaay ahead of most of the human race. ;D

Heck yes!! Love these videos.

How to ruin a reciprocating saw

They’re crowded and bored. What do you expect? They live in a torture device. Shame on you. That’s not even minimally humane! May as well Live at Foster Farms. 😢😢😢

You need to adopt a Jack Russel or very aggressive cats. What's with the bear feet?

Oh dude. He’s goin down.

Electric fence on at night off during day

Intresting if you process your chickens Islamic way “,Halal “ you will have more customer base for your chicken, they test Better I would say.

Is this generation this freaking soft!!! Come on you P**$y

😂

Good video - I've processed some quail before but a few days I ran a "test run" and processed three roosters. My setup was a bit different and I skinned vs plucked because of what I have available to me, but there is that moment leading up to it where it's like "ehhh do I really have to do it?" I told my wife, it makes us appreciate the food we eat much more versus going to the store and buying it off a shelf without thinking twice about it. Told each fella thank you as we processed them. Plan to do more this weekend. They will give us meat in our freezer (plus cut down on the crowing haha - we got 10 roosters from a straight run of 10 we got...talk about BAD LUCK)

For all the nonsense.. every once in a while the YT algorithm does work. I'm glad it brought me here. Great video. You have a new subscriber. Looking forward to more from you.

Well said. No matter what you do, it's usually just the starting that's hard. And usually not as bad as you expected it to be.

Hello Mr. McConaughey…

Yeah I personally pet for 11 bro if you’re petting for 10 you’re no better than the animal

You forgot the last step where you take her to freezer camp 😅

Please don’t eat them 😢

I fed mine in the morning and in the evening, they free ranged for the rest, in the tropics we feed them coconut and banana leaves to help fatten them up.

This is why most people feed them on a 12 hour timeframe, 12 on, 12 off. Then they eat more during their 12 hours on. They put on weight a lot quicker and can be harvested a lot sooner.

My Thoughts. If they are getting continuous feed, is that they are using more energy than they are eating - common reasons can be cold I doubt it in your case since you are in the northern hemisphere, or eating other lower fat and protein food - grass. Moving them daily keeps them clean, but if they are eating grass they may not be eating enough feed to keep up the nutrition for weight gain. Of course, other reasons can be worms or vitamin deficiency from low quality cheap feed .

Probably could just add wooden blocks instead of the bolts to prevent it from digging into the lower frame, also music at the beginning is a bit much.

Don't tip trees over with equipment. Obviously the roots and stumps are a real problem. Cut the trees down, then cut the stumps as close to the ground as possible. Use a stump grinder to cut the top off of stump. Or use a chain saw to cut the edges of the stump down so that they won't snag equipment passing over them. Drill some large diameter holes in the stump to promote rot. Cover the stump with a bit of dirt. Work around the stumps whete you can, remove only the you need to.

Your children will benefit from their lifetime working with you!

Where can I start my comments? I guess kudos to you for involving 3 (and sometimes 4) of your young children in this project. This is exactly how children learn AND gain confidence in accomplishing a task. Secondly, and just as importantly, what a novel idea to build your compost sifter. I am sure your idea will be replicated by others. Using the Saw-zall was certainly thinking outside the box, but you realized the negative affect on the power tool using it to move the sifter. With 3 little big helpers to operate the sifter, the job should get done manually in a short time. I really like your idea!

I agree about the premier 1 fencing helping with hawks. We have a mobile coop on pasture with the fencing and haven’t had a single attack in two years. We have tons of hawks and owls on our property. Best of luck!

New subscriber. Looking forward to seeing where your journey takes you. I know you didn't ask but highly suggest following Jess at Roots and Refuge Farm and Morgan at Gold Shaw farm. Not sure where you are located?

Wow.... you are a new one! I'm looking forward to your future! What established homesteader channels to do watch without fail?

I am a brand new subscriber, with the bell rung, also. I wish you well in your journey. I'll go back and watch from the beginning of your RUclips channel's videos. I thought you had very recently visited the Rhodes homestead, but your video doesn't reflect the current condition of the remodeling of the main barn/home. I have an abundance of questions about you and your family.

I probably would have gone the other way and asked if you could sign a lease for the land, which would be immediately revocable by his heirs on death or if he decided to develop it, also give you first right of refusal on future transfers. That way, you're not a squatter, you're a renter with a solid document. Of course I wasn't there.

Cool set-up and good lookin birds

Nice too see a fresh "new" (to RUclips) face. Good to hear the receiving side of what Justin Rhodes is trying to build within the homesteading community. I'll subscribe to your channel and see where you're going. Good luck on your journey!

Nice video and channel. Subbed. Good takeway. Look forward to more videos.

Hey, that's my man! 🔥

That Ryan guy needs to know the difference between self sufficient and self sustaining. What a moron.
