Not a rancher, not a farmer....what you are Dex is an intelligent self motivated achiever !! Your success won't be limited to simple titles, but rather by your many accomplishments and by the many people you help throughout your life's journey :) Keep up the great work brother !
I only started following you a few days ago but I've been watching one episode after another. I am so impressed by your drive and ambition. You also planned for your future. I can not imagine how one man has accomplished so much in only 50 years. I so appreciate your faith and your love for The Lord is so evident. I retired from the United States Air Force over twenty years ago and was fortunate to be able to visit your wonderful country several times between 1986-1990. I am also very concerned about our food system and just since the virus, I've started a backyard garden. In the near future, I want to start raising chickens and rabbits. I'm learning so much from watching your channel. I would love to visit you in person and learn more about the day to day operation of your farm. I have shared your channel with all of my homesteading friends here on RUclips. Keep up the good work, I will never miss one of your videos from this day forward. LaDonna Woodley
Dexter we love watching your videos, and the definition of a farmer is someone who grows animals or plants for consumption, so you are a farmer. My grandfather was a very wise man and he told me that there are no failures, only lessons. and I think it is very commendable that you share your lessons with us, even though sometimes they are hard lessons. Keep up the good work your farm is looking fabulous. Best wishes, Jimmy
I’m always inspired every time I watch Dexter’s videos. A real motivator indeed. May God bless you with more wisdom as you continue to embark on more Agricultural / farming projects . I’m checking in from Windhoek, Namibia 🇳🇦. Much love to Dexter’s World 🌍.👏👏👏
Hi Dexter. I had the same experience with chicken pox on my turkeys. I solved it with a good and save spray for horses to avoid flies and mosquitoes. I use this for all my animals (chickens, turkeys, dogs and cats). You can also spray the coops and hens with it to avoid feather mites. The product name is "Bronco" and sold for horses. It will keep your animals free from mosquitoes.
Awesome property and you are absolutely a Farmer! Great job with building your beautiful farm Dexter! You are a very smart man. Much love from Louisiana USA!!
Hi Dexter, I started following you just about four months ago......I am a small farmer in Kenya.... i have about 1000 chickens in various stages (chicks to ready for meat)....I have always grown mine for meat. Though from your channels I am happy to let you know that you have truly encouraged me to try out mixed farming...... and I also want to copy you on your free range, and selective breeding....Thank you so much for the lessons you are teaching us.
I believe you have inspired millions of people with the work that you are doing Mr. Dexter... Thank you so much for the videos that you share for us on youtbe... You are succeeding little by little and I believe your future ahead is much more prepared. Thanks once again. I love all your videos. i AM FROM BELIZE....
As a wise man once told me 'You have livestock, you have deadstock (I was breeding parrots at the time) - you just do the best that you can and learn from mistakes. Your farm is doing very well - your workers are hardworking :) You Are a Farmer!
I've farmed livestock my entire life. 50 years. If you're going to have livestock, you're absolutely going to lose livestock. Trick is to limit the casualties. You never eliminate the risks altogether.
Hi Dexter. You and your nice smile impress me. Being between innocent creatures ...plants. animals ..and children (respectively) is the best meditation and make a great soul.
Lots of love and respect from Canada to one of the most pleasant and good hearted person. We enjoy watching your informative and interesting videos my friend. Keep them coming.🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thanks!!!
Probably it would be better to place those cut off banana leaves on the GI roof. or pulled tall grasses as well.. it can ease down the heat effect coming from that metal roof.
Hello i just watch only one video bcs it was recomemded. I find it amazing me and my mom cant stop watching it rn 😂 More chickens and eggs to come! God bless you!
Sir Dexter we are very sad in what happened to your breeder Rir but your videos really serves as stress reliever for me and my wife in this pandemic season. I am an OFW in Oman and my wife is an Filipina Italian citizen. You are a great influence to us and I hope that you will allow us to to visit your farm when we decide for good in the Philippines.
You are a natural farmer no doubt about that. In future you need to have some place to stay for visitors. Because I think a lot of people wants to visit your farm.
You're really right Roy. One teacher asked me If he could bring his students to the farm and i said soon if i can finished all what is needed to be done. What i have in mind was the place where to entertain them.
Hi Dexter thank you for sharing and teaching. I used to raise chickens. I think the galvanized sidings and roof contributed to the heat. But you are right it's more durable. You can put insulation on the roof and open the back part and put wire mesh.
Nice to see the veggies part of your farm sir dex. Promoting sustainability to our kababayans. Like the shirt! Subscriber since your betta fish days! Proud of you!!!
🚨 Hello 👋🏽 from Texas. Don’t be concerned with those who are giving negative comments. Most likely they are not doing anything theirselves to produce their own food or to help their community. You have taken tremendous strides and have done very well. Starting from scratch with no real experience or guidance is not a easy thing to do and yet you have done just that and made a great success. 🎊🎉🎊🎉 To help your fruit trees grow better and to make it easier to maintain your property I would suggest putting a thick layer of mulch/wood chips around the base of the trees. Also using a mulching lawnmower to cut the grass/weeds around the property will return the nutrients back to the soil enriching the soil even further than it may already be. One more thing to consider. I would spread clover seed around the parts of the property where the animals are kept. The clover will give nitrogen to the other plants in the area and will be a valuable food source for the goats and foul you keep. I would also grow a lot of Comfrey, clover, Malabar spinach and grasses to feed to the rabbits. You will notice a difference in quality of the meat and overall health of the rabbits. The Comfrey plant 🌱 also makes great natural fertilizer for your vegetable gardens. I wish you well in you business endeavors.
Hellow sir Dexter, it is a Nice Farm!!! May comments lng po ako, The longest side of the structure/building should be facing north and south to lessen the heat coming from the sun, and your solution is to plant bananas to act as a shading and it is brilliant idea... At napansin ko po sir Dexter wala po kayo nilagay na steel bars in the walkway of breeding pen, its only a concrete, kpag tumagal po yan sir magkakaroon ng mga cracks. Thank you
Dexter. In your chicken breeding pens the 'Hot, Humid, Air' needs somewhere to escape to, heat rises as you know. You need to remove some of the corrugated iron on the 'back wall' of the enclosure at roof level. At least 24 inch/60cm of the iron wall, along its entire length, at roof level should be removed and replaced with screening. You require 'AIRFLOW' through the coup and not just ventilation from the front and ends only. You need some cheap battery powered Hygrometers (Temperature and Humidity) in all your enclosed animal rearing areas to monitor these parameters. Great video. Cheers.
I wish you all the best. The farm is looking great and your property is beautiful. The banana trees will provide you with a income to help you maintain your farm.
Hi Sir Dexter!! Because of your success in farming, I'm really happily encouraged to take on the challenge in farming.. I've been watching your videos since then and so nice to learn a lot from you about organic farming..
Suggestion if I may, paint the galvanized steel white, will reflect much heat rather than be like an oven roasting chickens. No pun intended. Could add reflective foil as well, radiant heat could be part of problem. Thank you for sharing so much!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I enjoy watching you're videos they are informative and encouraging. Abundant blessings to you and your family.
Sir dexter suggestion lang po in my experience po regarding sa breeding pen po nag bebreed din po ako ng manok ung breeding pen po nila nilalagyan ko po ng dahon ng niyog po ung ceiling nila para hindi po mainit ung ventilation nila. Na experience ko din po ung na heat stroke ung mga manok namin sobrang init ng ventilation nila.thanks po👍😊😊
Hi Dexter, I also have some chicken in my backyack. Before bring the chicken I already have plantain and banana in there. The chicken pecked through the plantain and banana plants and also ate their leaves. So to provide shade I planted mango and coconut trees for them. And I had to fence off the plantain and banana to save them. By the way my breed of chicken is Rhode Island Red.
Hi from Guyana I am always inspired by your videos especially the videos on the Bettas I have so many sucess in breading and selling of my Bettas to my friends thank you so much you truly inspire me
Dexter, do you ever get fruit fly stinging the fruit of your tomatoes? I live in Singapore and I have to place nets around the plants while the fruit are still very small, or else I lose almost everything. The fruit fly (oriental or Malaysian varieties,) sting the plant to lay their eggs inside the fruit. The eggs hatch and the maggots munch their way through the fruit, so it begins to rot and falls off the plant before it even ripens, properly. Nets with holes small enough keep the fly away while the fruit ripens, but that also means no more flowers get pollinated, as the nets also keep out pollinators. I then have to pollinate by hand to get anymore fruit. When a fruit has been stung, there is a black dot left behind on the surface of the fruit.
Thank u dexter I am enjoying to view your upload for about farming to educate and study some of your tips it may be soon when I go back in the phils I want to continue to subscribe and view u and I have to learn more a lot from u thank u so much god bless u
To minimize mosquitoes and other insects, plant lots of Malunggay/moringa and lemon grass all around at 2.5 to 3 meters apart. Some farmers say snakes hate Lemon Grass, too. Cassava at boundaries are to keep rats busy only at boundaries.
You need a lot of air flow. The metal wall is blocking the air flow into the coop. Install ceiling fans....sit in the stall for awhile and see if it's comfortable for you. If it's too hot for you, it will be too hot for them.
Sir Dexter, magtanim po kayo Madre de Agua saka mga Madre de Cacao sa boundary ng lupa niyo. Tapos mag-alaga na din po kayo ng African Night Crawler for vermicomposting. Mag-alaga na din kayo ng mga baka at native pigs, para kumpleto na.
In Jamaica to help prevent heat you can place a slim stick near to net section horizontally, so the hen can stand and cool off .The zinc caused alot of heat
Hey Dexter, all those galvanize will turn your coops into an oven. Maybe something like BRC wire will be better because you will have better air flow through it. Take Care.
Hi Mr. Dex. I am amaze to see the banana trees were relocated, "the rooster is very liucky becuase he has 5 wives " 😁😁😁😁 You got me all eyes on this video. God bless.
I find with turkys they are best in pens with half the run covered rpof half open so they dont get wet when it rains. Plus keeping them moved onto good ground and never on the same ground too long and rotate them through a series of pens until the first pen has recovered its grasses. 😁
ok on the chicken house the small part of the roof should have a gap between it and the big sheets. that allows the heat to roll out. if not you have turn this design into a great oven. use a large hole chicken wire to cover the gap so the heat moves out easy, and keep it clean and dust free to keep the air free to move out even with a small breeze. if not it will continue to cook those birds. i live in Thailand and we use that design all the time. the bananas will help but not stop it.
That would be a very informative video. There are lots of separate videos out there to explain, but a comprehensive, complete guide could bring it all together.
you're an inspiration to us aspiring farmer, keep up the good work sir. well done. my only criticism though is that those chicken breeders that you have doesn't look like a Rhode Island Red as you claimed but rather a chicken from Sasso or Hubbard company. mabuhay po kayo...
I really love your channel..Thanks for sharing, exactly what I've been looking for all these while.. I'm an upcoming farmer watching from Nigeria.Thank you once again.
Thanks for sharing your farm journey with us Dexter ..I hope once the travel restrictions are lifted my wife and I can return to our own farm in Isabela and we can start to work on our own projects, raising chickens goats pigs and Talapia ..
Suggestion make the roof a light plastic or bamboo roof. bigger net like old fishing net helps also instead of the green. Let also 20cm under the roof all around open, u can make some bamboo sticks in between. That helps with the air flow. also make some sitting sticks in one lenght where there can sleep. The ammonia is heavier then air and sits on the ground. The sitting sticks help them better to brief. Maby u can use some of my tipps. I really like ur videos!
I love the way you and your staff, take care of all the animals. I'm from Texas and we love Turkey meat. At our state fair, Turkey Legs, are a best seller.
Yes, a ventilation fan pushing the heat out of the building should be placed at the top of the building, (where hot air rises to). One can also be placed near the floor, pushing cool air into the building. Both can be run by power from solar panels on the roof, where they will get sunlight the full day, if placed to catch the sunlight correctly.
You are great. God continue to keep you strong and going from success to success. I like farming. You really motivated me to go back into farming. God bless your farm, you and your household 🙏🙏🙏
I think, ang space sir sa imung breeding pen.. I think for that size ug ang iyahang habit anang mga manoka "burara nga manok" ug droppings can cause amonia poisoning.. heat and moist come together and ang imuha pang salog rice hull.. 1:3 murag mao nay nindot ana
Great to see your progress to date. You have achieved more in practice than myself but I do have a good background in animal science/husbandry. Your video showing blocking the evening sun with a drop-down tarp made me think immediately that the pen was aligned wrongly. As you are no saying it should be east to West in the length. That's good. However, planting trees in front will also block necessary ventilation. All pens in the tropics should be aligned east-West. And the zinc plates at the back is definitely not helping. That pen is better to dry fodder to feed later to your animals so all is not lost. Previously, I also suggested that the front of the nest boxes should be lower but I still see the high walls all around the front of the laying boxes, so maybe you have not seen that post. I am here to help if you find it in Your heart to hear. As always, Respect to you.
hi sir dexter i have suggestion maybe you can re modify your breeding pen you can remove this galvanize gi sheet inside and replace it with some plastic nets or bamboo sticks because this gi shet will emit more heat during sunny days and it is also one factor why you got stroke birds
Sir may napanood po ako na seminar sa youtube ni Dr. Beltran. Yung housing daw dapat east to west yung orientation para maiwasan mababad ang buong area sa sinag nang araw. Thanks for sharing your inspiring videos sir.😊
in my own opinion, maybe the problem for the breeding pen is the walling at the backside. corrugated thin sheet once it is hit by the sun, it is very hot. to observe the status of the area, try to stay at the breeding pen 1-4 pm you can not stay for long. another is the airflow. it should be flowing continuously. since the back portion is fully close, the air will bounce back and now there is opposing airflow, the tendency for the situation is that the air will be stock on the area or no fresh air can enter plus the temperature of the area. these may the for the head strike of the chicken.
Wow I’m so impressed with the progress of your farm🤩! I’m so happy to see your animals thriving and was so sad when you shared about the death of your RIR chickens due to heat exhaustion. I’m very glad to see you rectified the matter immediately by planting banana trees and ensuring it doesn’t happen again. I was also very impressed to see you planting vegetables and look forward to further harvests in the future. I cannot wait for when you integrate the fish once the water system is installed. You don’t look a day over 40 so I was surprised when you said you will retire in another 5 years! I love watching your videos and seeing the care and attention you give to your animals and fish 😍🙃😊🥰💕❤️💜💖
Great job Dexter, we are in the same boat the farmers. I always watch your video. Keep it up bro, you are inspiring others. Go go.. future retirement will be so bright
Hope that you apply pure organic both in annimal ang plants. Im thicking to put a farm like yours, but pure organic,so we can share ideas, i like this very much, good luck of us.see you to vlog always! Your an inspiration.
Salamat sa pagshare sir, mao diay namatay akung mga pabo, maghimu kog cage para sa gagmay, salute to sir dexter, from bukidnon. Certified farmer dexter's world.
Sir dexter, good morning.. Watching here from Taiwan.. Sir dex, I see that you have used the galvanized walling for your breeding pen, that's why your chicken got heat stroke.it can only covered them from direct sunlight, but not from tremendous heat..and there's no more air to flow in n out.. Try to see again your chicken coop...tc n godbless you sir..
Hi sir dexter I’m your new fans it’s regards to free range chicken farming our farm located @ paniqui tarlac we just started FRC 2 years plus but unfortunately for this year we will concentrate FRC .we got a lot of ideas on your channel of Dexter Word tnx, more power ...
Not a rancher, not a farmer....what you are Dex is an intelligent self motivated achiever !! Your success won't be limited to simple titles, but rather by your many accomplishments and by the many people you help throughout your life's journey :) Keep up the great work brother !

Dear teacher we need one Compelete video from Day old chicks untill layer about feeds and medications .
Thank you and best regards.
That would be a very informative video. There are lots of separate videos out there to explain, but a comprehensive, complete guide could bring it all together.
you're an inspiration to us aspiring farmer, keep up the good work sir. well done.
my only criticism though is that those chicken breeders that you have doesn't look like a Rhode Island Red as you claimed but rather a chicken from Sasso or Hubbard company.
mabuhay po kayo...
I really love your channel..Thanks for sharing, exactly what I've been looking for all these while.. I'm an upcoming farmer watching from Nigeria.Thank you once again.
Great job Sir Dexter. I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. Very helpful and informative.
Thanks for sharing your farm journey with us Dexter ..I hope once the travel restrictions are lifted my wife and I can return to our own farm in Isabela and we can start to work on our own projects, raising chickens goats pigs and Talapia ..
Suggestion make the roof a light plastic or bamboo roof. bigger net like old fishing net helps also instead of the green. Let also 20cm under the roof all around open, u can make some bamboo sticks in between. That helps with the air flow. also make some sitting sticks in one lenght where there can sleep. The ammonia is heavier then air and sits on the ground. The sitting sticks help them better to brief. Maby u can use some of my tipps. I really like ur videos!
Change the metal sheets into bamboos to minimize the tempetature.
I love the way you and your staff, take care of all the animals.
I'm from Texas and we love Turkey meat. At our state fair, Turkey Legs, are a best seller.
your amazing sir dexter like all your vedeo & learn lots of it. can you share the feeding guide & the name of feeda ypur using. tnx & God bless...
You have inspired me so much.your passion and love of pet is what I share.jeep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Today I spent full day watching your video, very excellent , you are the best ever .I am Lucky, thanks U tube also, and thanks Googles
If you can install a fan for cooling and air circulation.
They use this method in the States.
Yes, a ventilation fan pushing the heat out of the building should be placed at the top of the building, (where hot air rises to). One can also be placed near the floor, pushing cool air into the building. Both can be run by power from solar panels on the roof, where they will get sunlight the full day, if placed to catch the sunlight correctly.
You are great. God continue to keep you strong and going from success to success. I like farming. You really motivated me to go back into farming.
God bless your farm, you and your household 🙏🙏🙏
I think, ang space sir sa imung breeding pen.. I think for that size ug ang iyahang habit anang mga manoka "burara nga manok" ug droppings can cause amonia poisoning.. heat and moist come together and ang imuha pang salog rice hull.. 1:3 murag mao nay nindot ana
Multipurpose farmer. Thank you for the great training and work
Hi Dexter...im very interested to know how you can protect all your turkeys etc from the mosquitoes ??
Great to see your progress to date. You have achieved more in practice than myself but I do have a good background in animal science/husbandry. Your video showing blocking the evening sun with a drop-down tarp made me think immediately that the pen was aligned wrongly. As you are no saying it should be east to West in the length. That's good. However, planting trees in front will also block necessary ventilation. All pens in the tropics should be aligned east-West. And the zinc plates at the back is definitely not helping. That pen is better to dry fodder to feed later to your animals so all is not lost.
Previously, I also suggested that the front of the nest boxes should be lower but I still see the high walls all around the front of the laying boxes, so maybe you have not seen that post.
I am here to help if you find it in Your heart to hear.
As always,
Respect to you.
i really appreciate ur ef forts. and u speaks very nicely... stay blessed .
You are doing great Dexter!! I'm watching in the Caribbean 😁
Thanks for your honesty
Yung upper half ng likod ng breeding pen gawin na lang screen para may airflow. Atsaka conductor ng heat ang yero. Baked chicken ang kakalabasan nila.
watching from kenya... i am preparing for this too.. inspirational
Hi Dexter, keep it up , you are very hard working and energetic person, if I ever visit phillipines I will love to meet you and visit your farm
hi sir dexter i have suggestion maybe you can re modify your breeding pen you can remove this galvanize gi sheet inside and replace it with some plastic nets or bamboo sticks because this gi shet will emit more heat during sunny days and it is also one factor why you got stroke birds
Sir may napanood po ako na seminar sa youtube ni Dr. Beltran. Yung housing daw dapat east to west yung orientation para maiwasan mababad ang buong area sa sinag nang araw. Thanks for sharing your inspiring videos sir.😊
in my own opinion, maybe the problem for the breeding pen is the walling at the backside. corrugated thin sheet once it is hit by the sun, it is very hot. to observe the status of the area, try to stay at the breeding pen 1-4 pm you can not stay for long. another is the airflow. it should be flowing continuously. since the back portion is fully close, the air will bounce back and now there is opposing airflow, the tendency for the situation is that the air will be stock on the area or no fresh air can enter plus the temperature of the area. these may the for the head strike of the chicken.
Wow I’m so impressed with the progress of your farm🤩! I’m so happy to see your animals thriving and was so sad when you shared about the death of your RIR chickens due to heat exhaustion. I’m very glad to see you rectified the matter immediately by planting banana trees and ensuring it doesn’t happen again. I was also very impressed to see you planting vegetables and look forward to further harvests in the future. I cannot wait for when you integrate the fish once the water system is installed. You don’t look a day over 40 so I was surprised when you said you will retire in another 5 years! I love watching your videos and seeing the care and attention you give to your animals and fish 😍🙃😊🥰💕❤️💜💖
Great job Dexter, we are in the same boat the farmers. I always watch your video. Keep it up bro, you are inspiring others. Go go.. future retirement will be so bright
The heatstroke could probably be the effect of GI roofing and walls sir....
KD Construction true! Intense Heat radiates from those iron sheets!
Literally an oven...
Yes agree
well done Dexter, just exactly what I would love to do, once I move into my new home.
Hope that you apply pure organic both in annimal ang plants. Im thicking to put a farm like yours, but pure organic,so we can share ideas, i like this very much, good luck of us.see you to vlog always! Your an inspiration.

Salamat sa pagshare sir, mao diay namatay akung mga pabo, maghimu kog cage para sa gagmay, salute to sir dexter, from bukidnon. Certified farmer dexter's world.
Sir dexter, good morning.. Watching here from Taiwan.. Sir dex, I see that you have used the galvanized walling for your breeding pen, that's why your chicken got heat stroke.it can only covered them from direct sunlight, but not from tremendous heat..and there's no more air to flow in n out.. Try to see again your chicken coop...tc n godbless you sir..
Hi sir dexter I’m your new fans it’s regards to free range chicken farming our farm located @ paniqui tarlac we just started FRC 2 years plus but unfortunately for this year we will concentrate FRC .we got a lot of ideas on your channel of Dexter Word tnx, more power ...
