Looks like Lola wants to name the chicken's Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert!
You can train them. I have a farm. One of my hens got eaten by a hawk or owl leaving behind a three week old chick. I brought it in the house until I trusted it to go outside. I found bugs every day, pointed to them and yelled here's one and he learned how to find bugs. He followed me around like a puppy. I was his mom. He would come to the storm door and holler. I opened the door and he came in. He ate, pooped on news papers, slept on his back in my lap with his wings spread way out, his head cocked to the side he snored up a storm. Very cute.
Seeing the Guaymi family walk down the road brought all the feels to my heart. I used to live about an hour north of the Panama-Costa Rica border and seeing the women in their dresses was so special! It takes me right back to those days. Oh how I miss being there!!!
Puppy kisses for the baby chicks has to be the cutest thing I have ever seen 🐶🐥
They each have their own personalities, they're so sweet!
My Grandma raised day old chickens in the early 1900's before electricity. She cut strips of old flannelette and stapled it to the inside of a timber box which was tipped on its side so the strips hung from the "roof". They were packed fairly tightly together and almost touched the floor. She put straw on the floor and the chickens could come and go through the top of the box which had become the side when it was tipped over. (I'm not explaining myself very well at all :D) She raised many chickens this way and never lost very many at all. They used the flannel like mother's body to snuggle amongst and keep warm when they needed to but had the freedom to move away from that if they were getting too hot. No power necessary and they regulated their own temperature. It might be worth a try. xx
They def shouldnt be outside for the first 6 weeks until they have their feathers unless the temp is consistently above 75f
They will also be jumping out of that red bin within days lol. Make a top out of chicken wire.
Yes I am a crazy chicken lady.
ty for not sounding like a know it all and the tone in which you share info instead of "you need to do this this and this!" like the rest..
I raised 6 chic from babies in the Mohave desert region. If you dont keep chic warm and dry you loose them. Once they grow up and you build them a nice protective coup!!!! They can keep themselves pretty warm. They will give you eggs every day of their 1st two years. Try a heating pad! That light will take a lot.
don't put them in the green house, unless you want baked chicken. they will cook in there.
Actually they will not. At this age they like heat. With the rainy season upon them the chickens will be fine.
Perfect! Chicken's can be stressful if you let them but they are actually very easy, I now have over 100 hens, sell the organic eggs too. The only thing that I would suggest is don't skimp on shelter. Put a floor in it. Take it from me, after losing chicks to raccoon getting in and then soured straw from the rain, yep I only build with floor. My channel I think has two different builds. Check them out.
For 3 years I waited to get chickens. I was living in a condo. Now God has blessed me with a little half acre homestead in September 2019. Now I just got my chickens a week ago! I was too scared to get baby chicks though. I got 12 pullets almost ready to lay this month... brown leghorn breed. 🇨🇦😆🐣🐓 love you guys! Many blessings to you!
Congratulations! That's so cool!!
@@kimberlyearly8918 thx Kimberly!🙂
@MAD GRUMPYMAN you are just jealous, honey.😎
Oh Kailee and Jordan melting my heart with those little chickies🐤🐥. And Lola inquisitive l9oks. You both just lifted my spirits . Bless you both and be safe. Also, I'm blown away how clever you are with your building, etc.💙💚💛
Hope you are making a solid plan of how to protect your cute chickens from wind, rain, sun and other animals. Good luck guys!
I’ve been planning out my future and wanting to buy some land and build out a van. Then I found your channel and watched nearly every single video! Your channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Cool! Sounds like an awesome plan. We're traveling in a van ourselves fulltime and can really recommend it 🙂
Me too :-)
i've been watching my share of van life and thinking the most important part is having a partner to share the experience.
david guy This applies to life in general, not just vanlife. 👍🏻
@@princesslavidia3287 sure thing, and my husband is going to have his own van too :-) Many vandwellers talk about making friends and cara-vanning.
You need to build a chicken coop and I mean quick
My wife in Honduras also had the grand idea of buying the hen (mama) with 11 chicks she tried to build a chicken coop but couldn't finished it well the 11 chicks died
Now you can imagine I was pissed off because I'm in Los Angeles and I couldn't be there to build that chicken coop to make sure the chicks would have a chance to grow up safely but nope my wife just couldn't wait
So please build the chicken coop and do it quick
Those chicks are the cutest *EVER* but I swear the *best* part is how Lola is being with them!!! OMG Lola is something else. I swear, her maturity is so noticeable. I've been here with you all for a long time now and Lola was just a "baby" for so long. Over the past -ohhh- few weeks maybe I have been especially noticing how much more mature she looks and acts but this... holy moly ... she is truly _mothering_ something. She's completely precious. The next cutest is Kaylee. Kaylee, you are *darling* with the babies. They are going to be so loved and bring you so much joy all while beautifully contributing to the farm.
Congratulations on all your new family members...such a blessing to see you two create your shared vision and homestead. God Bless and Happy Building
Isa Browns are great egg layers! We've had chickens for several years and our Ideas are by far the best layers. Chickens are so much fun!
Love you guys. But I wish you would have built a place to put the chicks before you got them.
You can try a heating pad for heat that will mimic a mother hen they can go in and out from under, just got 7 babies ouseleves while we finish our bus build 🙌
I love van life video's. So now I watch related video's like solar hook ups and Lots of them say that placing the solar panels at a 35 degree angle helps the panels work alot more efficiently. Maybe you should try to putting yours on a hinging system so you can prop them up during the day. Love your video's and everything your doing,Lola's awesome with the chic's she's ganna be a great mom for them.Take care and GB.
I just hope you really do your research about raising chickens before jumping in. The whole “aren’t we so boho and kooky” and “let’s just fly by the seat of our pants” vibe is cute and all, but these are living things and if you have a “gee, who knew they need supplemental heat until they’re fully feathered” moment, birds die. Please, please do your homework. Try www.hencam.com. And get them a heat lamp ASAP. Why do I feel like this is not going to end well....
Tracy because they’re plants where a living thing too and they let those die and they just say “oh well” and goes and gets more... they’ll probably do the same thing with the chicks and it makes me really sad to think of that! I hope all 4 live and have a beautiful life. Lately it seems like they have been very spontaneous on the things they want to do rather then indulging into the internet and learning the ins and outs of certain things. They said it themselves they only where up last night researching how to raise chickens... one day won’t teach you everything! Seems like now that they have money their lack of care has gone down.
Chickens are a gateway drug for farmers! Trust me. 😂❤️
🤣
Kaylee's face was priceless! Congratulations on the new additions!
As a farmer here in Ireland i can say that no matter how long i have been doing it, new life every spring never gets old :) It never loses it's magic, watching new calves take their first breath and first steps, young foals jumping around, the birds singing and building nests, magical!
It’s so calming to see the animals. The hawks, cows, chicks and of course, Ms. Lola. ❤️
Lola was putting her paw on the tote, then on the chick. She was trying to tell you to put the chick back in the box.
Loved the timelapse of the clouds !! Too cool !!
I second the wind turbine idea, Ive used one now for a couple years. Works in the clouds and rain, at night, any time theres a breeze. If you have wind at all its a no brainer!
During this quarantine I truly enjoy watching your daily adventure. Greetings from Austin Texas
Heating pad is less electricity. Use one of those on low under the container! Those chicks are spoiled! You both are so positive! Thank you for the great videos! 🐤🐤🐤🐤🌞🌱 Nina in Colorado!
Enjoy your birds! We have had dozens over the years, and when they are that size, you will really need them protected. Don't put them out. Start building a bombproof coop, and once they start really driving you nuts, they may be big enough to stay there. And don't worry too much about them being cold. It is the heat that stresses birds. Obviously, they can't freeze, but they can take 45-50 degrees. They will huddle. If this all works out for you guys, you will have 5x that many by next year! And thank you guys for being the last of the "van life" crew to stay the course and developing your channel. Everyone else seems to have beat feet to the states, and they will regret it.
Robert Hildreth can u tell me where are they , ?
I think the Matneys are staying put, bless their hearts.
There's several overlanders still out there with their vans/rigs and uploading videos. They're just staying put.
You had me (Tonja) at chickens! When Jordan showed you (Kaylee) the chickens, I started crying seeing your eyes light up. My heart is full with this video. You two are legit parents now of 4 chickens ! Btw, Matt calls me "Lady".Sorry I believe the baby chics are the stars of the video right now. haha
I run a chicken and duck laying operation, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need any help. Chicks are great but nothing beats ducklings, when they hatch and look at you and then follow you around. We have a 20lb Muscovy that thinks he’s a dog and follows my wife around. Jonathan@hapa.farm . Our German Shepherd and Formosan Mountain Dog (and tortie cat) are very protective of our flock, our GSD will break into one of our flocks and sleep with the ducks :)
For the heat lamp, we just use a 60 watt bulb for our chicks.
You have to watch about putting the chickens inside the green house because they may get to hot and that could kill the chickens. Just like someone going to town and leave their dog in the car to long and the dog get to hot and dies. The same can happen to the chickens.
Love the time-lapse Jordan, also I just want to say that you never cease to amaze me with your resourcefulness.
The chicks are named original recipe, extra crispy, and grilled. LOL
I am pretty sure those were tastes, not kisses. Yes Lola, tastes just like chicken. Please make sure to give Lola some extra love. It is hard being a new big sister especially when the new babies are edible.
Is Lola crying, she say, "smells like chicken, taste like chicken?"
Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch right now. I’m invested in all these van lifers in quarantine, and it’s very interesting, but because you’re settled and have things you can keep working on, it’s such a different feel! I’m working from home these days, and your videos are so great to watch during downtime between tasks.
Lola is probably thinking all I have to do is play it cool intill mom and dad go's to bed and then I can eat them chicken's for my dinner. Hahaha 😂 😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈🙈
This is better than watching TV! The best reality show on RUclips. My wife is from Panama and we love seeing her country thru your eyes. Love the chickadees! Not the poop! Lol. Stay safe.
When dogs do that lip licking and chomping they are exhibiting signs of anxiety. She's even blocking your behavior. Lola is trying real hard to be a good dog while you are pressing this no no item into her space. Good girl Lola. Real good girl.
whatever they did worked very well. Lola is now the proud mother of 4 soon to be chickens. i think she will protect them from grasshoppers, for now.
I also thought Lola looked anxious.
@@princesslavidia3287 My comment was not intended to be critical. It's obvious that they didn't know this dog behavior sign. So, like them, I was educational.
@Nancy Henricksen You sure crave the spotlight don't you? How dense are you to just make up a scenario about someone and then not only believe it, but comment on it to? You seriously need some help. Of-course Kaylee knew Lola was anxious, duh, she had chicken on her back. Why do think she had her arm on Lola for, because she needed an armrest?
@@nightdan7096 Dude, got your boxers in a twist ? I don't need you to chastise me for posting. I'll post where and when I so desire. Seems that there might be *some* in agreement with me given thumbs and all. j/s.
So cute! We had bantam chickens here in Costa Rica for awhile and we hatched some eggs under a light as well as let the mommas hatch quite a few and it was always AMAZING to see the little chicks hatch. But definitely keep them inside for now and build a really secure coop for them. Ours all got taken by night creatures over the years, even right out of their coop. :(
The res tof the world is bored locked down and lookin at you guys for inspiration .. i think its time you guys posted a live stream 24/7.. so we xan just come on here and share your giggles.. whos with me ? Lol
Heads up Jordan, your trade off is water versus power. If you aim the panels at the sun, it will increase your power hugely.
You need to fence them in and cover the top with some type of netting. My family has raised chickens. The little green house will not protect them! Love Lola.
Yep. UNLESS these folks get on this ASAP, these chicks won't make it one month.
Vansion Living - They need to build a chicken tractor for weather and predator protection. The nests inside should be built for convenient extraction of eggs.
@@wendyweaver8749 I Unfollowed their channel ... I hope not, but I predict this will be a train wreck.
Hi guys! I’m also along my baby chick journey. Your set up is awesome! However I would recommend getting grit of some kind and also cutting off the dividers of the feeder. The dividers can strangle the little babies if they are pecking for food or toward one another :( just what I was told can be a life saver and wanting to share!
This is awesome. I hope you guys are undercover potheads. Thanks for sharing guys!
haha!
Highly illegal to smoke pot in Panama.
Super cool night shot!!! Stars plus cloud movement - wow! 🙌
I think it is good to have them inside at night for now, they need warmth and lots of it while they are still little. Plus, until you have a secure place to keep them, night predators can be a real problem. Good luck.
Love your little chickies. I remember when I was a little girl how much we loved the new chicks each year. My Nana raised chickens and sold the eggs, so there were a lot of new checks each spring. Miss living on a farm so love your videos. Take care and love to the chickies. 🐥🐤🐥
You guys get so much wind... I watched an awesome video yesterday of a guy who built a predator 3kw wind turbine... not that you don’t already have enough on your plates
Best 3Kw windmol is called Windspire!!!
MAD GRUMPYMAN They’ve only been there a short while, they’re still green... give em a break man
💝 the video! Made me smile. All the best with your chicks. If you don't have netting for a protective roof, you could use long lengths of wire spaced apart at a distance so that predator birds can't land in the "fenced" chicken area. I know folks that do that & it works keeping hawks & giant owls out.
They are so cute! I can't stand it! You two look like you are weathering the coronavirus storm well. Stay happy, healthy, and safe. Sending you love from Kansas 💗💗💗💗
Great work guys! You have to angle the panels towards the sun for the best performance. Its going to work when the "bus" is not moving any more.
You two are living the dream! Cool WI Badgers shirt....I’m in WI and have about 24 chickens. You will love them!
You are producing cool and various videos showing and involving the people in the creation of a modern rural community. Way to go!
I raised chicks from eggs at 10 yrs. old and they glow on your face reminds me of me. I love every living thing on this earth.
Great video oh, thanks for being real expressing your concerns. I had a lot of problems in the past with layoffs, getting fired, injuries and of course alcohol drugs and homelessness. Have adjusted to what you're doing several times and a common denominator is that every single vehicle I would buy wouldn't have adequate tire changing tools. When you rise to the level of depending on a vehicle like you are, not that you did anything wrong but sticking with stock is wrong for you. Now that I'm preparing for the van life again on purpose this time, I have two lists, goals and incidentals. When you notice an issue you don't resolve it, you get a quick fix like getting help with a jack and then you go on driving with the same tools that you had before. Beep! That's not doing anything wrong, that's not knowing how important the incidental list is. For example, now you're current list for the near future should read, bottle or floor hydraulic jack for the truck, T handle instead of tire iron. Straps to hold down the water tank when it's empty, cuz that will happen again before the plants grow tall enough to be a Wind Block. When you're in a house and the air conditioning didn't work, didn't you call the guy or did you just open the windows and fan yourself a little and say well it won't be that hot during the summer anymore? No, you called the guy! People that have jobs and run into a dead end on the job, don't they report the problem (writing it down on an incidental list) in hopes of resolving it for the future. Well you reported the problem but a Jack and T iron isn't going to fall from the sky oh, well maybe for you guys it will but you understand where I'm coming from. Your parents were spot-on but over critical so they missed the mark. It's not called doing it wrong unless you don't write it on your incidental list, what you are doing is learning things the hard way and there's a way to combat the stress from that by starting an incidental list, a what? Yeah, I'm getting a little bitter with you two today because I have a low tolerance when people make a mistake and just move on. Pretty soon youl have too many things to complain about to make any decisions right. Please don't let the world stack up on you, I don't want to watch that. How do we do it differently or how can we do it better to get it right the first time, it's probably a question you guys have a lot, you're very thorough and meticulous, but it's common human behavior, we can't help ourselves to fix a problem and move on instead of a long-term change. Here's something else we deal with, if you do realize how important it is to buy a new strap and Jack, you may say all right, we'll get that soon. You guys know as well as I do that soon or what you put off for tomorrow is probably gone. I have two weeks before I'm on four wheels again and already have a new Jack from AutoZone and that t-bar thing behind my seat. I'm polish, I shouldn't be smart enough to know I need that but it doesn't come from smarts, it's experience. A tip you may already know about, but I'm going to tell you anyway just because I'm bitter. Don't forget to retorque those lugs in one week. what wait what did you say? You did retorque them after the tire was set on the ground, good. Just take my word for it torque them again in a week. I guess I'm being a hard-ass about this, it's because you guys might be guiding my future in 2027 when I leave the country!
The cold will kill them and they should be under lamp till baby feathers all fall off and they get big bird feathers. Also make sure that is fresh straw and hasn’t been sitting around because straw will kill them from mold dust. You have to be careful what they breathe in. Build a chicken coop
I've been keeping about 200 pastured hens for a decade in Los Angeles. I provide eggs for a farm-to-table bakery/café (which I hope makes it through this pandemic) -- as well as providing eggs to my neighbors. Anyway, if you have any poultry questions I might be able help with, please let me know.
If you buy a low wattage energy saver bulb, wrap it in a piece of fire-proof fabric, and lay it in the container, the chicks will feel the warmth and huddle around it. I just mention it because I fear that keeping them under constant lighting may not be good for them.
Also, it's the plastic container that will get cold during the night, if you use an old towel or sheet to line the bottom and sides container it'll be heaps nicer for them.
I've actually got two isa-brown chicks at the moment too. Also I've got 3 adult hens. They're prolific layers.. 1 egg a day per hen for around 1000 days or 3 years. They're amazing creatures and nice pets with their own personalities!
You need 3 or 4 deep cell batteries, you can probably use the one that's on the bus. An automotive alternator, you probably have one on the bus, a washing machine motor, and a fan belt, you probably have one on the bus motor. Connect the batteries in line with the alternator, use the washing machine motor, with a ⏲️ timer, to turn the alternator and keep the batteries fully charged. Connect an electrical outlet to the batteries for electricity. It's a very quiet source of energy, and the washing machine motor will run off the batteries once they're fully charged.
Love your Wisconsin badgers tshirt. That's where I'm from. Stay safe and healthy!!
I'm also from WI, but now live in Oregon. GO PACK GO BADGERS!
Love it. While other vanlifers are posting sad thumbnails and trying to make the viewer feel sorry for them you guys are building stuff and living life. Congrats.
Agreed!✌
I don’t know much about raising chickens. I do know that a dog ate ours the first time we tried. Also, look into a plate heater instead of a heat lamp. It’s much more efficient. Checkout wild wonderful off grid.
Awwwwwww! I cried when I saw those babies!! May they supply you well with all the eggs you will need! Looks like they have several loving guardians......including the cows! What a beautiful paradise!! I so look forward to all of your videos! 🙏🏻💕❤️🙏🏻
you can plant in hay straw bales .. cool tecnique!! google it .. they can be used as wind break when stacked etc
Suggestion, I see what you are trying to do with tilting your panels, but you should consider tilting them the other way. (i.e. make an "A" frame rather than a "V" frame. This will work the same way, it will just be less of a wind sail and it wont direct/channel leaves and sticks into the middle.
Great video. Wife and I have been impatiently waiting. We live in Milwaukee and our middle son “graduates” in a couple weeks from UW Madison. So great to see you both sporting some Badger gear! Be safe and thanks for sharing your story with us.
You guys should look into "Fog harvesting technology" it will harness the fog & turn into usable water
Shout out to Renogy!.... I use their panels, inverter/charger etc. An hones to goodness, GOOD company with great support. Enjoy
I have had chickens before and they are so cute and fun and fuzzy! You'll hopefully see eggs within 2-4 months, depending. If any end up being roosters that could be helpful if you want an alarm clock, or more babies. Sometimes sexing the little pufflings can be difficult. Also be very careful against Hawks and wild cats (a roof is important). Also once they get big enough make sure their nesting boxes are warm and dark. One last piece of advice: my dog was never good with chickens but he only was exposed to adult hens, maybe Lola will be better. One last thing: chickens love scraps of food, I always fed mine pieces of vegetables, like tops of peppers and sometimes chips or lettuce. Also calcium is good to mix in every once in a while. Good luck!
I saw your next one before this one talking about how only having the two screws in the panels in the wind storm was making you nervous, lol.
OMG - Lola is hilarious!! "Get that thing away from me!" First night - first week - they need to be inside. Where they are safe. I think Lola is starting to love them... natural mothering instinct has kicked in!
compost with chicken poop is excellent. Don't use it straight because it is very "hot" and will kill plants. A fact is chickens can recognize up to 75 different people's faces. Keep them inside for a while because you don't have protection against predators is the main reason. Most chicks are kept in a very safe area inside a barn or a secure chicken coop with adult chicken to protect them. Wait a few weeks, they grow fast then build a chicken coop for them. Are you going to be putting up the rain collecting panels again now that the rainy season is coming?
I had a baby rooster his name was birdie he followed me all over the house. He would jam out to rock music. He slept with me . If you keep showing them love they will follow you. Can't wait to see what you do next. I wish i was living that life. Be safe and healthy love Sara
also, since your bus is stationary, you might want to consider a rack to hold your solar panels that you can tilt to maximize collection of energy. Even if it was set on a timer to move close to tracking the sun position it would help.
Enjoy ur new chicks. Very envious. Had chickens years ago. Handling helps.
Y’all have really peaceful videos. Especially for what’s going on everywhere else in the world and y’all are still living your lives continuing to build up and i love y’all for that. And i can already see Lola playing mom to the chicks. They will follow her EVERYWHERE
OMG such cute and teeny tiny chicks! Congrats on your new babies, Kaylee 😍
Also, use your chicken waste on your garden, its great fertilizer. Check out tractor trailers for your peeps
In Central America those are called Pollitos, (baby chickens), once fed they’ll follow you around thinking you’re mama, I grew up on a small farm, Lola will have a blast with them
As time passes you will always remember your first set of chickens.
Chicks also need grit to help with digestion. They need to be kept in 90 deg until they feather.You might be able to keep them warm enough with a heat pad that would use less electricity.
You should be prepping for the long haul ! By growing lots of food ! Instead of making sure the little chickens are all comfy ! If they can't stay warm on there own in a box inside the van. You should of never purchased them till they could stay outside on there own ! Your in the tropic's, not Alaska !
Chicks have to have a heat lamp and stay in a box no matter where you live. It's not just to keep them comfortable, as in spoiling them. So chill out!
You two always bring a smile to me face. Thank you for everything!
a reg. 100watt light bulb is all you need for 4 peps with the outdoor temps you have, mainly keep them dry
An incandescent bulb is hard to find now a days. With no heat from a LED, what I had to settle for was a halogen 100w. Heated the outside cat house rather well.
You can always just add a big jar of hot water and then cover it with a blanket for insulation to keep those chicks warm without an electrical draw. Peace, Love and All That Hippie Jazz
Hi u guys, when I first moved on some property in California, I was excited to go buy a few baby chicks. I was told there was a shipment coming in and to come at such time. I got there and the shipment of 200 chicks came in at the same time. I couldn’t make up my mind, so I bought all of them! 🤪 when my hubby came home from work could only say...* What did you do Lucy??? I ended up with a successful egg business for a few years...*Chicken Lips Egg Inc*, lol...Enjoy! 😘❤️❤️❤️
Too cool ..Thank you for the smiles Doedoe, Paco, Lady and Cutie ....
Ohh yeah you too as well..Both of you be safe...:)
Much Love from Northeast USA..
Staying home and trying to keep the numbers down !!!
Wash you Hands !!!
I didn't think this video could get any better, first the chicks and then Jordan's Wisconsin Badgers tee....wooo hooo!! I live in WI!! Go Badgers!!
Build a secure lid for that box, made out of screen or chicken wire, to keep Lola and other predators out!! Losing a chick to a hungry hawk or animal can happen so fast...before you can react or save the chick. A screened lid will prevent anything like that from happening.
I agree about building a chicken coop ASAP. Include an outdoor "run" that is wired in (like a screened porch) for them to get sunlight.
The chicks will grow up very fast, you'll see. If you have a rooster, are you ready for early morning "Cock-A-Doodle-Doo's" EVERY SINGLE MORNING?? Love your videos!
You can never have to many chicks 😂👍
🙌😂
My daughter just got 8!! One of them will have the crazy fluffy head and it looks pretty funny right now lol! Kaylee and Jordan will have to build them a coop though, for sure.
A high maintenance chick would be one too many for me. :)
ILGuy2012 LOL 👍
Maybe some wind generation would help as well,and build a box to put over the generator, some chicken wire over the chicks when they are outside as well,small steps.
You two are so stinkin' cute!

Check out videos on The Holler Homestead and Kris Harbour Natural Building for examples of chicken tractors. The Holler Homestead also has videos explaining and showing how chickens can have other jobs besides laying eggs - reducing grass clippings to near compost and getting rid of grass/vegetation where you want to plant a garden.
300 watts uses .3 kwh, about 7.2 kwh per day or half that for night only.
Love your new additions to your family they're so cute and Lola so cute! ✌️💕🚐🐾
