We also say no to any product collabs that we don't feel benefit our viewers. Nice integrity to fess up on your part. Thanks for keeping it real. Cheers 🍻
It's so interesting to me that your chickens don't like the feed your talking about. Everything we have gotten from them has been high quality and our chickens dominate it. I absolutely love that you are sharing the behind the scenes of stuff like this. I have gotten so many offers for random products and I've only chose the things we actually would use or need for the homestead. You guys do a great job!
I was the lucky recipient of the roll away nesting box. It is the most amazing thing I have ever won in my life. We haven't been able to use it yet because we will be incorporating it in our new coop that we build in the spring but I appreciate the company sending it to me even tho I live in Canada. They certainly took a loss sending it that far and I hope you and they know it was very much appreciated. Can't wait till it is installed in the new coop and I can take some pictures for them.
It is wonderful for a "RUclipsr" who has his audience in mind. I cannot raise chickens because of where I live, but I love growing what vegetables I can. So, it really is good to hear if you recommend something, it is because you believe in it. I just stumbled across your channel and because of this video, am now a subscriber. So, thank you, for being real. And, scratch a chicken on the head for me (cause I can't do it myself. LOL)
I appreciate your honesty and openness about everything. Just because you share something doesn’t force me to buy it or have it. What it does do is give me options I may not have had or known I could have. Ultimately you are not responsible for decisions we make. You are sharing your journey and all that goes with it and as a result there will be highs and lows. I appreciate yearning about your journey and have never felt misled or lied to.
We have the Chickozy door and love it. It works pretty well. The only time it failed was when it got around or below zero. I don’t think there’s any door that wouldn’t be sluggish in those temps. I looked at that hemp bedding and Yikes, it is pricey, even with a discount. I’m sure it’s great, but my husband would have a fit and I want to stay married! 😉
Don't beat yourself up!! It was what you said it was..."an experiment ". Thank you for being honest enough to tell us that it didn't work out, and you even apologized several times. Keep up the good job of giving us information!! God Bless!!!!!
I struggled with the different automatic chicken doors and on your recommendation I purchased the chic Cozy door and it is the best door ever. I tried two other doors before Chic Cozy, so thanks. And I watch your RUclips channel because I feel your an honest hard working person and this video is an example, you inform us of the good and bad.
Integrity or lack of always reveals itself. Your subscribers know you are genuine and care about doing the right thing. Represent quality products that bless you and will bless us. I love learning about something useful or helpful in the garden - like my Falco snips. Also organic fertilizers and seeds, I learned about from a trusted You Tuber. Done right, representing products can bless others. You will figure out what works for you.
I actually bought the automatic door from watching your video. The first one we got had factory defect and I sent them a video showing how it would not close all the way and they sent us a new one. Good company to work with and I love the door.
I haven’t put mine in yet. But I got some boots from his ads that I love so I went for the door too. I was going to buy a door anyway but I had been researching for hours and hours about the best one and whether the cheap ones actually work and so forth. I literally got exhausted, and would not get anything. so when he showed me how easy that door was, I just pulled the trigger on it. I can’t wait to finally get some time to install it.
I really appreciate your honesty on this! Another RUclipsr that I follow looking at being frugal recently said that they were going to accept every sponsorship they were offered for the money. So even if it’s not good quality they will give it a plug, which really goes against the ethos they promote and have completely turned me off watching them. Stay true to yourself and you will gain more followers than being fake.😊
I use Kalmbach Non GMO and I have a feeling you might be referring to this brand. Not every brand is going to be for every chicken and that's fine. When we first got our chickens they were malnourished and living off cheap chain store feed, and the people we rescued them from had no water in their waterer, you could just tell they weren't in the best condition. I switched them to the Kalmbach and they've been doing really well.
I love your videos and look forward to them, just like MANY many others here. Never accept shame in trying to make money for your family. I wish you guys could make millions doing this, honestly. Everyone who doesn't do youtube has no idea how hard it is to make it on here. Especially using homesteading content lol keep up the amazing work and awesome videos. Thank you for what you do for the community!
My chickens are much happier by watching his videos that’s for sure. I was just kind of “winging it” pun intended. But several times he pointed out things I was doing wrong and I course corrected and now they are giving me a lot of eggs this winter.. I haven’t seen a slowdown whatsoever. I didn’t add lights. I just cut back some tree branches to make sure they had more natural light and I’m leaving their big coop door open during the day. I definitely got the rollaway separate plastic nests that install with four little screws because of his videos. Now they’re finally beginning to train to go in the nest. My chickens are very young, so they’re learning. But none of that would’ve been happening if I hadn’t watched his videos. Not to mention, I think it’s cool that his wife’s name is Chelsea and my name is Chelsea… so that means he has good taste. 😂 but seriously, though I watch his videos because they help me on what to do and what not to do. I’m thinking of getting goats as well, and to be honest, the whole goat thing ticked me off because they are babies and he didn’t put heat out there. But it’s his decision and it’s his livestock and he’s going to learn. I can’t throw stones in my glass house where I’ve accidentally killed nine chickens because of two German shepherds, all because I didn’t get the reinforcement stuff for my fence. But that’s why I watch him because he’s honest and he shows everything and so far the improvements to my homestead have been well worth my time spent watching.
You navigated the subject well. We have a small channel and have been getting random free product offers and such. We’ve turned them down, but have been reaching out to brands that we do like. It seems a lot of brands out there aren’t familiar working with content creators so it’s been a lot of education. Hopefully something will pan out but just wanted to say great job and appreciate you sharing how you guys deal with and approach companies wanting you to market their products. Much appreciated! 🙏
For me that you take the time out of your busy schedule to make these videos and share the good the bad and the ugly things that happen on your homestead that’s GOLD for me sure there’s a lot of things I personally can’t afford I do my best with what I can afford for my girls I just enjoy your honesty and transparency about what really happens on your homestead so keep up the hard work may God bless you and keep you ❤
The number of emails that come through is out of control, I don't read most of them. I have a small list of companies I work with but only the ones that I truly think are quality products. It's definitely a weird thing to navigate, that's for sure! My two biggest companies I work with I actually bought the product on my own dime first, loved it, and contacted them for a partnership. Those are the types of deals I like to make!
If its something you love or are trying it out I dont see an issue. It tacky whenever a channel is trying to sell stuff on behalf of a company or is selling "classes." Sharing an experience with an honest review, I'm always down for that😍
I bought that hemp bedding after seeing your video. The price was a shock!!!! 😬😬😬😬😬 but it is awesome stuff. I have decided to mix with pine pellets for the poo shelves, the two products work well together to absorb smell and moisture plus it helps me use less of the hemp bedding to stretch my dollar.
Useful products with decent cost. Not every Homesteader can fork out $,$$$.$$. For instance the " chick lift" I for one can't see the cost being justified, most items can be replicated far cheaper
I have that chicken coop door! It's great other than the fact that I have to clean out the track everyday for it to close. The next one I purchase, I will try one that raises & lowers vs one that opens from the sides. I always enjoy watching your videos & love what you all are doing!
I wonder if you can install it sideways so that it does go up and down? I bought the door too but I haven’t installed it. I am so glad I read your comment. ❤
Hey man! Just an FYI. Your video was exported as left audio only. If you need assistance on how to fix this in the future, let me know! Happy to help. Love the content you share!
I did a temporary switch to the Kalmbach feed, simply becuase the feed I normally feed my chickens was out of stock. And my chickens didnt want to eat it! I feel like they ate just enough to stay alive. Luckily I was able to get my regualr feed after just 2 weeks. I also noticed a dr in egg production during those 2 weeks they were eating the Kalmbach feed.....I wasnt happy.
Hemp bedding realy is the best I've ever seen. horrible high cost, but without a doubt the best. great thermal regulation, absorbant with liquids and smells, and a texture I just cant describe.
I'm in Canada so I wanted to supplement my chickens feed with something higher in calories. When I introduced corn they snubbed their noses at their grain. But, when I introduced sunflower seeds they snubbed their noses at the corn. When I clean the straw out of our chicken coop the chicks go absolutely crazy for the grain that spills on the ground which has been sitting inside for weeks. I will never understand chickens
Products that are given and you sponsor are hard to decide to do or not… I do the same, I will not promote anything we won’t use and don’t trust. No shame I taking deals/ promotional items to help you/farm/family as long as you feel it’s right! Keep up the awesome work!
I am looking for a good place to rehome my Lavender Orpington roosters. I have 6 I need to rehome. Hand raised. 6 months old. Any forums or sites. Need some help. First-time chicken owner.
So what made you notice anything off with the hen house reserve ive had my girls on it about a year so far i haven't seen anything can you name me something specific??
Hey so I have 2 Nigerian dwarf goats does that I need to re-home due to township issues. I am in south east Michigan so let me know if you are interested
I would really like to see you guys get back into the goats because I am thinking about goats, but I’m only a one person senior half acre homestead. This time put heat out there for them! Complications from being too cold are more than just freezing to death. Day, after day of that same stress can lead to death without being frozen to death. But we all make mistakes. What’s important is that you correct them. You seem to do that so I’m a fan. Good luck on the does.
You are misleading your subscribers with Grub terra cause the chickens dont need it and you get something for free if you push it. yes most of your money comes from subs you get monthly payments from. Nothing wrong with making money.
