CAUTION: As the meat birds do not have a covering of feathers, they still need a heat lamp outside with temps below 70°. They will get wet from dew & rain and not be able to stay warm. They die from the cold or from suffocation as they pack up to get warm. Many new meat bird owners lose their birds because they think the birds are old enough and should be fine. Egg layers, yes. Meat birds, No. They are different animals with different requirements. Their bodies put all energy into growing fast and not into self preservation, hence few feathers. Please be careful or you may have a costly loss.
After being in the 60:s all this week it will be in the high 80's. We have had rain but thankfully not a ton , So many things this year but always have to give it to Go, He has always provided. Wanted this year to be a great garden year and I am not giving up that hope. God's blessing to you and yours
Weve been getting a lot of rain in WV as well. But we didn't get a bunch of snow this year so the water table is low I'm sure. Remember, rain is a good thing. Lol. You guys are so inspiring. You are one of my favorite channels and one that I watch every day. God bless and keep up the great work.
Praying that your family gets that property. My meat birds out grow their brooder after 3 weeks and now outside in tractor. Love your videos, especially watching you teaching your kids about gardening and the animals
Good luck on the offer. We have had rain for days..most our produce has survived due to tenting our raised beds but the green beans and corn have to be replanted. My pumpkins and spaghetti squash are yellow but are trying to come out of it. It went from a rain soaked freezer straight to the high 80's boiling pot. The soil just compacted to the point of being concrete. But all in all it all has survived. We've been struggling with keeping our chicks happy...ready to be in the tractor but due to the wet and cold have needed extra heat in the tractor but they are dry and happy. We put small pallets in the back of the tractor to keep them off the ground and tarped the tractor on the windward side and top to keep the rain out. The struggle is real! Lol. Be safe.
Micah is so lucky that you guys are getting him a T-REX!!! I enjoy watching your videos. I get a good chuckle from your kids actions sometimes. They are characters!
For the extra radishes, have your lovely wife toss them in olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast them in a 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes. They are wonderfully sweet, and the bite is gone.
Please send some of that rain to California! We only had eight inches of rain and our rainy season is over until November. Could have a very bad fire season.
Lol 8 inches 😲 last year 2019 we only had 80.0 mm 3.15 inches for the whole year 😢 in South Australia 🇦🇺 hopefully this winter will be wetter but 8 inches is unheard of xx
@@robyngoern3115 We're supposed to get 15 inches. No doubt the climate is changing. Unfortunate our government doesn't believe in climate change. T says it's a "Chinese plot."
Brian. I was 30 In 1980 in NH. Today we are still farming and it is NOT the same... I could walk in the woods all day back then and not find ONE tick! Now we they are over running us. Our 350 acre farm is missing many species of birds , frogs, snakes and insects.We do not spray. We raise grass fed beef and prime hay. We have lost many types of bumblebees. All of this a sign of global warming and pesticide damage. We also log and are watching trees being stressed. All we can do is be good stewards of what remains and shelter in place...
I really enjoy your videos. Here in Springfield Missouri we set a new all time record rainfall of 4.29 inches in 6 hours. It rained 4 days this week and is supposed to rain for the next 7 days.
I had the dough hook going on the mixer when you were talking about it, but did I hear you say you were getting "Animal" next week? That is one of my favorite Muppets! The kids are going to love that! ;-) Now you will have someone to answer you back when you use your "silly" voice. ~Another helpful and entertaining video Mike. Thanks.
I hope you get that property, that will be so nice for you. I will say a prayer for you about that. Yes those chickens want some dry land.lol Man, we have had so much rain too but i believe you have had much more than we have. Hang in there it will dry up soon. 👍
You looked like Mike the fat farmer in all that rain gear on the thumbnail 🤣. We missed our wet season this year, I just love the sound of rain. Thanks.
I love watching your videos you guys are one of many other homesters inspired me to try something different that hoping no one tryed it yet here in Florida 😀 I love helping people. I will pray that you guys get the land you need to stretch out and grow more!!
Green paper products sells corn plastic! 100% Composttabal! The only drawback to all corn plastic so far is it cannot stand above 105ﾟF. Love what you do thanks for all the Great information and inspiration every video!!!
We got 4 inches overnight last week in Chicago. Lots of flooded basements but everything is beautifully green. If any of your subscribers are thinking of a farm land fund I'm in!
Many have guessed sheep, goats or others like that. I imagine since u are struggling for pasture (for the time being..until u get that property) that it will be something that u can relatively confine for now. My guess would be turkey or some other game bird like guineas or maybe pheasant? Or.. Rabbit(s) for more meat.
Hi guys, For the bags, could you use reusable bags like the mesh kind and get them back when you make a delivery? You are in the position where you are seeing the same customers over and over again. Just something to think about. Please send some of that rain out here. :) Stay safe, be well and all the best from California 💛
Seen allot of biodegradable plastic bags, allot of sizes, but no zip, only open bags. You can find them at Walmart, through the internet. Your cilantro looks lovely, wish I could have some. You do great work. Your neighbors and restaurants are lucky to have you.
Micah is growing up to be a great helper like Selah and Josiah,he is a jolly good fellow.May God help him. The new farm animal might be goats,to help clear the woods.Definately not pigs as you folks don't eat pork.
@@minnesotagal507 I'm with you. I am one of those people who thinks cilantro tastes terrible. I have been told either you love it or hate it. :o) My family is split about 1/2 and 1/2.
I live about 45 miles west of Roanoke, Virginia. We had right at 8" of rain this past week. No rain on Saturday, then another downpour this late afternoon/evening.
Wow I had no idea how close you guys are too where I used to live! Awesome to know. I've recently moved to the catawba area. Away from the big city lol.
Hi Mike Good luck on the growing of corn Your drainage is looking great I hope the 3rd offer is your lucky offer I see success and beautiful gardens I shop Aldis all the time i love that store Wow them chicks are really growing Im thinking next animal is a pig
I never miss watching, 👏👏👏. It’s always something different! 2020 the Cicadas are coming, the Cicadas are coming, soon. Aw, dad, let Micah have a TRex 😂😂. 🙏 for the land.
A small note; most fans not designed explicitly for the purpose(ceiling fans, range hood fans for example) use sleeve bearings which do not work well when oriented vertically and will wear out sooner than intended. You will get more life out of the fan and keep it quiet and low vibration during that life by mounting it such that the fan axle is horizontal and using a deflector to blow the air downwards. You might even find that a single fan would cover enough area with sufficient airflow to dry several bins at once.
Yes, we start hardening the chicks off when they are feathered 2½ to 3 weeks old. We get 6" to 8" annually in a good year, high mountain desert Central Idaho. :(
Mike - my husband is in the print and promo business and may have a lead for you on the biodegradable bags - I'll shoot you an email once he gets some info. As always my fingers are crossed for that new property!
Evening Mike, Lacie and children. Southeastern PA is having crazy rain as well. I started my first for real garden this year, waiting patiently till my peppers and tomatoes are just a bit larger before I put them in the ground We are still getting some low temps @ night. I bought a Cilantro plant, we love Tex-Mex in our home, it died when I repotted it, but again waiting for warmer temps to try again, maybe I will just start from seed this time. Any advice would be helpful with the herbs; Mike and Lacie yours always look so fresh and tasty. Your birds, look great, and I think you are going to add bacon seedlings to the farm. All the best, tell Micah he did a great job in the brooder barn today.
Micah's speech is getting a little easier to understand so it's great to see how he's growing. As for the new animal, it's probably going to be small so I'm thinking rabbits but you might also be getting pigs.
I think most people dont understand todlers. The parents are used to them ans start decifering very fast We the viewers need subtitles but now we have had more time to listen to Micah so we understand him more. Its a weird brain conditioning.
Inconvenient as the current rain may be it is seriously fortuitous in that the recent clearing and contouring is fresh on your mind. I think you need a rain gauge located on your black for business use. I do not live in NC but from what I know most of the CCC they are not fully ready for outside living. They will suffer chills in the rain etc. as their body covering is not full enough to protect them. As they are such voracious feeders I think another feeder is needed to serve this number of birds. I am still stunned at their growth rates.
We are getting rain on central Texas. They are forcasting thiis Sunday until next week,6 more days. It would be nice to stretch over the summer. Weve had alot of rain. Id love to send some rain to California. Sharon
I love Aldi’s. The property you want to purchase is perfect for what you want to do with it. Does it make a difference to use a slo-bolt cilantro? I have purchased this thru Baker Creek. We’ll see how it grows.
we love shopping at Aldi here too - same reason - organic and specialty food at a reasonable price. even grass fed beef and vegan (dairy free) ice cream. yay!!

The light in the yurt is so much better since the windows were installed.
We are in Missouri Ozarks, 41.7 inches so far this year, new here, still trying to get garden in the ground! Few raised beds in, but slow going!
Ooo, I hear ya on that rain! 7.5" in 5 days. Definitely had rivers running through my garden. I need to figure out diverting the water.
After being in the 60:s all this week it will be in the high 80's. We have had rain but thankfully not a ton , So many things this year but always have to give it to Go, He has always provided.

I so hope you get that property! Praying for you guys to be blessed in abundance! 🙏🏻💖
Feeling blue today until I started watching you and your family.Thank you.Your videos are a blessing in this time of uncertainty.🙏💕💕💕
When you let the cilantro bolt, you get the spice coriander and seed for next year.
You did a great job escavating the run offs Rt hope it helps. The homestead looks really great..blooming all over👍
Love all the light in your house with all the new windows

Or they could go to the chickens
That is how I was able to get my husband to eat radishes. Roasting helps bring out the sweetness...yum! 😋
We did this yesterday. It was really good.
I do this and then toss them in a hot pan till they’re kind of brown around the edges and eat them like potato wedges.
It’s delicious.

Maybe everyone could donate $5 so they could get the whole property!
52.7 K viewers...I’m for it ...they are such a great vlog.
Sending prayers your bid makes the deal... can't wait to see what the new animal is going to be💚🌱💚
We've had a lot of rain as well but it always seem to miss my side of town. I still have to water the plants
I love to see how your farm has grown over the years. It’s beautiful! Best of luck on the new land. I will send my prayers 🙏🏼
Praying for you all to get that property. :)
Good luck on the offer Mike...hope ya get that property!
Raining hard in Houston too. We get kind of nervous after the 53 inches we got with hurricane Harvey.
We had days and days of rain in Indiana, and suddenly summer is here, sunshine and yesterday we almost hit 90.
Those overalls looks really good & they’re sturdy for farming work. Excellent Choice.

It’s pouring down rain here now too zone 5b. Had to cover my starts due to 41 degree lows tonight. Happy gardening.
Cilantro matures and the seeds become Coriander Seed. It's often used in pickling spice mix.

Do you have a rain collection system... Because with all that rain you would have a lot of water...
I know right? Even if they just put some totes out to collect water in.
Yes, we start hardening the chicks off when they are feathered 2½ to 3 weeks old.
We get 6" to 8" annually in a good year, high mountain desert Central Idaho. :(
It's so nice to hear the rain. We live in Phoenix. :) :) :)
lol I had 6 brothers. I was the tomboy. The rubber bands always disappearing...look on our little slingshots

Here in NE Texas we have 7 more days of over 80% chance of rain each day. So very wet.
If it is like most times we will gets tons of rain now,then none in the heat of summer.
Please ship some rain. It’s very dry here in Maine.
A river runs through it. Wow that's alot of rain.
I love cilantro, main herb in my salad lol my son says it tastes like soap lol lol
