This is so interesting...how many times do you have to a complete clean out

Put a wood stove in the house

Winter cleaning is a good thing. I would think if you did a deep cleaning every winter it would greatly reduce mites and fleas, and other bugs that like to lay eggs or bury themselves to try to survive the winter. Cleaning would disturb that, killing most of them.

I do deep litter method in the winter. I rarely have problems with moisture and I just spot clean the roosts, nesting boxes. Makes for good compost and I am not breaking my back cleaning the coop in the winter. I do one major clean in the spring and then switch to sand in my run, ( this year I'm going to try wood chips) I then scoop it regularly and it stays pretty clean. I see you have ducks in there with the chickens. Ducks can be so dirty! I know it's personal choice and I don't fault you on it but personally I wouldn't keep ducks with chickens if I had the option. This made me understand why you wanted to do a whole scoop out in the winter! 🦆 💩 🤢.

😂😂 most expensive clean out I have ever seen. $25 and $35 for grand total of $60 just for your chickens to poop on it. Oh don't forget the nesting Matt for another $20.

You needs to put a mask on to clean out the coop but u expect the chickens and ducks to live in there something rong there

Please clean the areas, and don't just put new products on top of the old filth. Clean for them as you would for yourself.

We grew up on a very small Farmstead we had chickens and Ducks but they were never in the same Coupe sometimes Ducks bring in something that chickens can't handle and vice versa know that but ducks are a lot dirtier because they're wet and they like the wet and which is fine but chickens can't handle the wet one for chickens and one for ducks and don't put them close together because ducks like to spread their yuck all over the place

Can you not get pine shavings from anywhere(lumber yards etc) they are great for the winter months and make lovely warm bedding for the chickens, ours loved it, it smells so good and makes great mulch for the garden.

Brava to you for your dedication.

Keep ducks and chickens separately .

Try bio char too

Fix the blower deal with the smoke in the face

God Bless YOU

Reuse the soiled bedding as compost for the soil.

I have an old hog house for my chicken and duck coop the ducks trash it lol like they’re dirty stink and everything but we realeased them and they hanging in my naibors pond

*puts rooster fresh in cart*

Yay! Congrats!

I love your wood buck, no dirt in the chain that way. I hate ticks and chiggers. Luckily most of the storm is north of us. Stay warm and safe

Thumbs up - great video. Can a person still buy a new wood boiler WITHOUT any emissions controls??

I came in from deer hunting one winter and found a deer tick crawling on me...... It was 12 degrees that afternoon. 😮

No ticks, no snakes, no sweat. I'm in !

If you cut the wood in nice weather you don't have to do it in the crap weather

Don't sweat either

What is the name of the book? How can i get the book?

Hi Do you have any book on peafowl farming?

Happy New Year Guys!

I got to get to chopping some wood now??? You don't have your 3 years of wood stocked up??? I guess you're not from Wisconsin or Minnesota right? I just found your channel so I have no idea what state you're in. Maybe Canada who knows? And you might be a newbie I guess at homesteading but doesn't look like it from your shop!!!!

You can make a massive increase on your boiler firebox by adding a whole bunch of stainless steel best screen at the bottom to keep your coals up in the fire! I bet it would increase your efficiency by about 50%!!!

Did you get the bag from a local farm and home store or hardware store? I assume 50 lb bag? So what do you think of the weight of that barrel is?

Or you can get a Jack Russell terrier!!! Problem with that is they will likely kill your cats

I hope you have a whole series of videos on how you did this and what you did!!!

Awesome

Are you heating the sand directly with solar?

Thanks for the video - nice storage heater, more pipe coils could be in the central (core) part of the barrel. BTW: SandBat and Polar Night Energy thermal storages also use sand but temperatures 400-500 degrees C (five times water boiling temperature) and huge amount of sand (with insulated walls) so they store more energy for longer period and use hot air probably steel pipes as input (with electric heater) and output. 👍😎

I’m not cutting up your efforts or being a know it all. If that feed is coming to your greenhouse directly from the boiler, you are losing a massive amount of heat. Either way, even if you are heating that greenhouse with the return line from any other buildings on the property, the return going into your stove is way too low. A return temperature at the stove that low will eventually rot out your water, jacket, and backside of the fire box. I used to be a small manufacturer of.Owb’s.
