We recently left behind a twelve year career as an Army Infantry Officer to pursue a simpler lifestyle that prioritizes faith, family and community. We're fighting for ethical land and animal stewardship, restoration of local food integrity and healthy, convenient alternatives to the modern industrial food chain.

omg what a cute family, everybody is working and copying dad, this is super wholesome lol
Hello, is the power supply chain autonomous? Is there a motor with battery?
It should be noted how much safer the debone cone is. Both cutters were cutting into their un-chainmail gloved off hand when using no cone method. That is only a matter of time before they slip and cut themselves. Using debone cone off hand was in a safe position much more often!
Great instructional video! We usually do ours as calves. As long as the mama doesn't try to kill us! LOL!
These are awesome! We definitely need these! First time viewer of one of your videos. We will be subscribing! Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. That table your cutting up on. Where does it come from?
Thank you, we got our tables from the same vendor as these cones, The Bird Nerd. thebirdnerd.biz/
One correction that was brought to my attention, these deboning cones are marketed by "The Bird Nerd," Poultry Man's primary vendor, but these are actually manufactured by Peck Tech, not Poultry Man. Just want to make sure we're giving proper credit!
No worries here! We are just pleased they are making a difference in your production times! Saving time, money and our backs for small farms is essential! Great video!!
Thank you for the awesome review.
Excellent review video, thank you so much for sharing! We will definitely be buying a few of these after this.
Glad it was helpful!
You wan t tell me that you can put 30k chicken s in that brother explain pls can I do it to
outrageous overcrowding, I wish they got some sun. The better feed meant better nutrition, that roles over to better health not only for the chickens but for the consumer. The idea of free range is 1. more movement 2. a natural diet that includes bugs = better nutrition. I don't see this fulfilling either objective. It does decrease cage injury. It is great for the farmer who has less cleaning to do.
Did you build that chicken mobile yourself? if yes, can you please share , costs and materials which you used? i wanna build that one. Greetings from Maryland
We did not, we purchased it from Mobile Chicken House out of Lancaster PA
I'm jealous, I'm too old to do it anymore, God Bless
Sweet setup but 15k is a bit outlandish. Not sure what all the automatic stuff costs but if youre moving it daily the need isnt really there
You aren’t just his son, you look like your dad’s twin! 😅 Just found your channel this morning and am binging. Really digging the content.
250-280 birds in a 240 sqft yeah not a good idea
thanks for sharing. is it 250 birds per tractor?
250-275
These are meat chickens? I don't see laying boxes?
no its not worth it, 30k ill build one over under 1k. lazy mans why out is spending money where he doesnt need to.
I am so sorry for your friends you lost in Afghanistan. It touched me very much that you remembered them so emotionally. I wish God's mercy on your friends. May their place be heaven, may the place where they sleep be bright. We Muslims believe that according to the belief of Islam, those who die in war are martyrs. And according to our belief, martyrs go directly to heaven. This has been given to us as a good news promise by Allah. That's why I want to inform for you that your martyred friends will go directly to heaven.
Your video was very nice, I liked it very much. But you two are much more beautiful than this video. I liked both of you more than the video.
Wow, I'm building the same thing basically for around $500. True it's not as heavy duty but mine will protect my chicks from snakes.
So yours will have auto feeders and on demand water and solar panels?
Sir this is super neat I looked at the site for these I have a question the thing is did you buy two different mobile coops one for egg lays and the other for broilers because if not why did you not just buy the bigger one and have half the labor and more capacity? It is like a commercial systems will usually have two batch of birds like a left and a right so twice as much stuff to look after but if you combine the two labor goes down and so does the entire it in amount and makes it way more efficient along with having the spare money to buy the back up stuff like motors must have because you eliminated more than half of one. Or maybe you just want two different batches at a time so less time between them
There are two reasons we stayed with two smaller coops versus 1 big one. You're right, the large one would be more efficient, but we can't handle processing 600 birds at a time with our current setup/crew. Also, our fields are too small to handle that larger coop, we would have trouble maneuvering it on our ground.
@@rockyridgefarmyou should pencil the numbers on transporting the birds 2 hrs to a processor vs you spending 2+hrs butchering the birds yourself. You specialize in growing these birds and marketing them. Let someone who specializes in turning live bird into product handle that part, plus you can offer customer cut up pieces much easier than doing yourself. You admitting that size was determined by your processing bottleneck. Remove the bottleneck by letting a processor do it. Your bottleneck should be your market. You make more money by being able to sell more birds, not on how many you can butcher.
@@justinallmond3855 Good points, thanks for the input.
Sir am not sure why it was so expensive to be honest
What is the engine power of the car you pulled to move this chicken coop (How many horsepower does the car have)? Is the car a 4X4 or a 4X2 wheel drive?
We use a Polaris Ranger 700 UTV, 4x4. Power is not the issue, it is weight. Anything smaller than that will be too light to pull these range coops.
Классно все сделано, конструкция от теплицы:)?
Very helpful video. Thank you
First off, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!! I have three sons that have and still serving in the Army. One will be coming home in two weeks from Poland!! They all went to Iraq and two Afghanistan!! I am starting an organic regenerative farm. I live in Louisiana, and my question is, when you move your chickens, and there is ant piles, do you need to kill the ants or does your chickens take care of them??
Not a problem we deal with in PA honestly! I would think the chickens would clean them up.
There is alfaalfa , lucerne and moringa इस best green feed for chicken
best. video. on youtube.
what about the winter? Do you raise chickens then? What powers your feed auger?
The feed auger is solar powered, and no we don't raise them through the winter. April to October is the best we can do in PA.
Why would anyone spend $30,000 on a glorified lawn chair with a plastic covering
Why are your birds looking so dirty and so scruffy with lots of pockets of bare skin.
They're young, feathers haven't come in fully in that video.
overcrowding, fighting, look at the soil after they move the shelter - that much shit can be a cause of skin problems. Many have sore back ends too.
What is the size of the coop & and chicken capacity. Thanks
12x24 foot, we run about 275 birds in each one.
How long to get a return on investment? thanks for posting
Based on our current throughput, 4 years just in labor savings. By extending our season with turkeys and the other unexpected savings it will be a little faster
That's some kinky stuff.
And what is the size ?
Which company build this ?
It’s in the description
How did you keep the water tank and lines from freezing in the winter?
We don't run year round, the birds are only on the pasture in the summer months so freezing is not an issue.
The music is so distracted
As bad as it sounds I laughed a couple times with your use of words 😂
ya, hard to keep a straight face sometimes🤣
Who u sell all those chicken too? That's lot of chickens ??? 😂 I got a semi truck if u need help moving them in crates!
Thanks. I Indeed was wondering :) Certainly considering these
I love the proliferation of all of these tools for better livestock management!!! I really do think that we are in the beginning of a revolution in food production.
glad it worked. Looks convenient
Enjoyed this video ❤️passing it on to my home school family and friends ❤️
Love the problem solving! Saving time saves money❤️
Grateful for your mission there. ❤
Could you raise layers in there?
The manufacturer has a model that's designed for layers, but we've used these for our laying hens in the winter, they stay pretty warm.
@@rockyridgefarmI’m very interested in their coops for layers. If you can swing it, they make so much sense.
the little kid at 4:30 is priceless.
Nice tractors, what are they? I've seen the 684 in other videos, and you've talked about the 966 before. What's the story behind them, and what else do you have?
Thank you, not much of a story really, we just appreciate the old red iron! Pretty tough to beat! I have the 684, the 966 and we also have a 574.
