The Able Farmer
США
Добавлен 28 окт 2012
Me, my wife, and 3 children live in east central Ohio on a small homestead. In February 2019 my son was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome at 3 months old.
This rocked our world and has changed everything. He is such a little inspiration!!! Because of him I gained the courage to start up a RUclips channel.
Having a son with a disability made me want to show everybody that it won't define him or us, so I named our channel "The Able Farmer".
I will try to have new videos out at least ONCE a week!
.You will see us working with CHICKENS, BROILER CHICKENS, RABBITS, TURKEYS, PEACOCKS, DUCKS, GEESE, GARDENING, MAPLE SUGARING, and MORE!!!!!!. I have many future plans as well that I look forward to bringing to you!

Time find a different hatcher
Made me laugh when you went off screen then came back with Frank in a net with his legs poking out 😅
What was the measurements of the chicken coop??
U could also just make a brooder and make the bottom wire so when they poop u can use a water house to wash it away if it on concrete that’s what I do and u can just put a heat lamp or Wtv u use in the brooder for heat
Cool video!
I just put mine on ice for four days two days in the refrigerator then I cook it or put it in the deep freezer makes old roosters tender
💙
Interested in modifying this for laying chickens...4-6 chickens
Well, I'm here with ducks and duck eggs. Now what did I miss? I need to know how to get a duck egg to calm down and taste like a chicken egg. Dear god, duck eggs are S T R O N G. Too much. I think we might be pickling these puppies.
I read that there was a fishy smell. ?
Of stuff that's preventable, selenium is a big one that often doesn't get noticed.
Usually presents as confusion, lethargy, lack of CO ordination, but the time symptoms present it's typically too late to do much about Usually happens to the young, old, old or stressed, or during pregnancy or immediately after. All you can really do is make sure you have the proper choice mineral available.
@theablefarmer Hello, can you share what female did you use to hatch the chick? Was it another Cornish Cross or a different breed? Thanks.
Love your video!
Wow you didn’t soak on ice water or anything
We had issues with mean lavender Orpington roosters too! I currently have 9 peafowl eggs in our incubator and a turkey sitting on 7 peafowl eggs
SOOO.... skip to 6:02 to see Able's idea of 'the best'...too much weight and cost... change wood to pvc pipe, change cattle panel to welded horse fencing, change roof bracing to pvc pipe curved over to hold up horse fencing. use thin pvc corrugated panels for roof and down sides to preven wet chickens, add large bucket to hold chicken water and connect it to auto chicken waterer, add 1/2" pvc pipe over feeder to prevent filth/scratching. Have fun!
<3
You can also soak the meat in a water and baking soda mixture for a little bit before you cook it. Works best. Then you can use it however you like.
Class brilliant Thanks
What ever happened to Frank?
For this size how many chicken can be fit in
Thats awesome brother!!! I was just given a 3 week old cornish hen that is a pet. I knew the challenge I am facing but like you I want to give it the best life possible. People bought it for a pet not realizing what they had gotten.
Unlimited clean water! No more stanky duck scum stank!! Lol 😂 I have had this idea 💡 awesome 👍😎
So cute.Congrats!
What did you breed him with ?
Mine as babies we're always so hungry and I felt so bad for them they would eat until they're cropped was really swollen and I knew something was wrong I didn't know what I had at the time
I've got one 9 months and he's larger than that. Almost 20 lbs. His brother died a while back
That thing looks so heavy. Lois like you used 2x4’s. Either rip down a 2x4 or use 2x3’s
How long did Frank live
Great video. One of the best. Few tips (may have been mentioned already). 1 - It's beast not to sever the head completely since cutting the wind pipe can cause the heart to stop pumping and you lose the blood draining advantage. I used to do cervical dislocation thinking it was more humane, but it really isn't and you end up with blood in the tissue near the bones. 2 - put a few drops of soap into the scalding water to break the surface tension. This allows the water to penetrate the feathers and get closer to the skin. You will need to adjust your dunk time or temp (140-145) according to your preferences.
You need to order some chicken saddle
Great educational video! Thank you so much
Cool
Merry Christmas
She is precious!!
Any day now... became 2 days ago! About time, congrats!
It's been very interesting to watch how you doing, really! You got that something, bro... Regards from Croatia...
What made you decide to go with Dexters? I'm on the fence regarding cows... we have one, an Angus/Milking Shorthorn cross... and honestly, I'm a bit intimidated by her. Wondering if there is a "calmer" and easier to handle breed. Dexters are smaller, right? What are the benefits of them over other breeds?
yes they are the smallest natural breed. the cows are under 500lbs. very docile and resilient against the elements. smaller cattle need less inputs, meaning I can have more animals on small acreage. they do excellent on grass only because the breed has not been commercialized and bred to grow fast and big. The meat is suppose to be excellent. (haven't eaten it yet). also my family eat about 1/2 a beef a year. a whole dexter should be close to 1/2 of a commercial beef.
Good to hear from you .The herd look good and you are becoming a cattle rancher ! Seems much easier over all than raising them goats.We are sticking to chickens for eggs and meat and we just enjoy having a small flock as pets kind of.Merry Christmas from Texas,and yes please let us know how the birthing goes .
Thank you! Actually we now have goats too. Haha!
A video from the Able Farmer! Hell yeah! Calves need to come soon!
Ha!
I’ve heard to soak the older chickens in buttermilk for 24 hrs before cooking (crockpot or pressure cooker) so they are tough.
In the future, when I purchase a house/trailer/bungalow I’m gonna return back to these videos and learn as much as I can because it was super informative!
Hi I bought some Ancona's from a gentleman a couple years ago. He lived in a small town called,Pekin. His water source was like that of yours . The farm looks similar with the wood railing. I was just curious to see if it was that same place. The guy I bought my Anconas was in his 50's and was a veteran. Loved the set up and you are right about small duck ponds becoming filthy in short order. I wish I had a source of water like yours. Thanks for sharing,my friend!
I agree with ALL you said about the Doug and Stacy chicken tractor.
Hundred and fifty degrees celsius?? Or Fahrenheit?
Fahrenheit. if the water is above boiling it will ruin the bird
Thats really sad to hear abt that, thank you for sharing with us this incident, hatchery must be responsible and must respond accordingly. Dont you worry everything will be fine. You are very dedicated and good person and you will manage it easily. Live happily and love to see you working with family. 😊😊😊
