    I enjoy how much you interact with your animals. It makes great videos and a big smile to my face. We used to have chickens come over to our property from our friend's house and my late wife named them all and always talked to them and made sure to have something to feed them.

    @ 27:25 lesser known thing is if you tie a string to that hole in top of latch and drill hole in post the sting goes through the hole and you tie to a washer and the gate can be opened from the inside by pulling the washer that is tied to the string that is knotted to latch

    When we had chickens growing up the same problem happen. So Mom only clipped one side of the wings. It makes them a little off balanced and they can't fly over fences. It doesn't hurt the chickens but makes them unable to fly very high.

    Greg and Katie I couldn't help but notice the creek with the waterfall, that would be a fantastic place for a turbine for Electric power to keep batteries, charged or other functions you can purchase a turbine for anywhere from 100/ 500 bucks and have an emergency back-up power if that small fall doesn't freeze during the winter you will always have to the Homestead

      Thank you for the nice reply, as I'm always watching your video and what your doing on the Homestead, I am trying to think of things I would do there, One being putting a Turbin in that creek, I think only 3 wires are required a ground common and neutral to make it work I THINK LOL

    What do you do with a spanged ankle? You binge watch This off grid life with Katie and Gregg of course. Started watching from 3 yrs ago. My goodness how far you have come. What an accomplishment. You built your own home with your own two hands. From nothing to a beautiful home. I especially loved when Gregg left to go rock climbing and Katie realized that life/work just doesn't have balance without one another. I was fearful about you being all alone. Lions, Tigers 🐅 and Bears🐻! It warmed my heart seeing you hug on Gregg and you said "I got my man back". That's right girlfriend hang on to that amazing man! Roofer, electrician,, home builder, plumer, Break dancer to boot! I LOVED the episodes when you two reveal how much you two really complete one another. How much you mean to one another. Its something I miss. Being single for 20 yrs i miss having a partner...Thank you for sharing...note please no more butt hole t-shirts that was gross😅

    Hi Katie and Greg. I absolutely loved the opening 3+ minues with all the crew out for a relaxing walk. The sight and sounds of the rushing water was so very enjoyable! That must be close by so why can't you get the water from that source, rather that the other setup? The fencing / gate project came out great - well done Katie and Greg!! Watching you both is an absolute joy. Over time, it has been a pleasure to watch you both change and grow. Greg, you are very skilled and a master homesteader IMO and since you were able to quit your job, you have gotten much more relaxed and outgoing and provide a lot of narrative on the videos which is nice. Katie, I have said many times, how impressive you are and how very proud I feel watching you do what you do and this video was no exception. You have come so far and grown into a true pioneer woman who is skilled and self sufficient in every sense. Greg, you are a luck man; you two seem to bring out the best in each other Have a great week. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

  • @bucklanders5946
    @bucklanders5946 5 месяцев назад +10

    On your chickens, clip just one wing instead of both when you're trimming the feathers. They will attempt to fly but that throws them off balance to where they can't fly.

    • @davidbennett7190
      @davidbennett7190 5 месяцев назад

      Another thing to consider is choosing breeds of chickens that don't fly so well. The old boring heavy breeds like White Rock, Buffs, etc were the standard for a reason, they like to stick close to home and sleep in the house. I've raised many flighty birds that would give wild jungle fowl a run for their money and it is fun, they sleep in the trees if given half a chance and don't grow old, they are no competition for the birds of prey, foxes, dogs, etc.

    When you clip chicken wings, only clip one wing. They will soon figure out that they can't fly in a straight line and stop trying,,,,,,,mostly.

    What you do for your animals is great, but it's not so easy to make everyting so close because the animals always find something where they can escape from your property. You have done everything to make it like a Fort Knox, it's fun for them to escape. Have a nice weekend and greets from The Netherlands.

    I always used to have problems with my chicken getting in my garden all the time until I put up stuff that the chickens can't see the garden and haven't had problems anymore Seems like if they can see anything green that tried to get to it no matter what I've caught wings I usually end up cutting both of the wings but they can still jump 3 or 4 feet high
