One thing I learned is to always make the doors smaller than they need to be. There's no need for them to be a tight fit, they can leave even a half inch all the way around, that way you're not fighting with opening and closing or wood expanding or contracting, easier to install too
Oh my goodness, that’s exactly what I needed. I’m on the downside part of the hill lets’ say and I don’t like bending over. I have a rabbit cage I put on wooden horses which helps but this is exactly what I’m needing. By the way, glad you’re back, you always have great ideas. I’m saving this one and hoping I can find someone to come over and build me one. 😊 Will be getting my chicks in Mar/Apr. Love you kids, you do such great work and always have such great ideas. Miss the cooking parts too. 😊 The puppy is no longer a puppy I see. God bless, won’t miss a video! Really really missed you kids. If only you could see the smile on my face right now to finally see you back.
First of all, welcome back! Missed ya'll bunches... Secondly, a shallow Rubbermaid tote mounted in a wooden track makes an excellent "catch all" underneath, used them on our farm. Thirdly, a PVC system for a feeder works great too. A bucket above, like the waterer, with a toilet flange in the bottom, hooked up to a 3 or 4" pipe stopped 1/2" above a tray on the floor of the brooder will gravity feed when needed. I know, clear as mud, but you're a smart man, you get it. Love ya'll ❤
@@donnameacham4426 Which setup are you referring to, if to me? I personally moved from the farm a while ago, I live in Florida now, but I'd be happy to talk you through it if interested
That is awesome and will save on your backs from bending over as well. You sure do have a lot of chicks right now. So happy you guys are back, I have missed you both.
So happy to see you guys back on RUclips... Missed watching your channel. Judah sure has grown into a pretty good looking fella. Hope Moses is still doing well also.
O my goodness, I was soooo surprised when I got your notice, I have missed your videos so much. I missed seeing you, Alex, and the dogs. Welcome back. I can't wait to see more of your family. Just to let you know I am 71 years old and I consider the two of you part of my family, love you so much. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Happy holidays and GOD bless you.
I love the Living tradition homestead channel. Been subscribed and watching them for a while. They do have some neat and awesome things they do and build. Still so glad y’all are back on. Thanks for sharing your video even though it’s trial and error that’s how you learn. 😁😁. And a good way for us to learn too. Looking forward to more about the chicks and how they’re doing and growing. ❤️🐥🐥. Take care and God bless.
Nice to have it elevated off the ground so you don’t have to bend over so much & tweak your backs .. although Alex doesn’t have to bend over quite that far, lol. I didn’t realize you guys got a horse … oh wait, that’s your dog, lol. He sure has grown from the puppy we last saw.
Welcome Back. You have been missed. I have seen the living traditions version of the brooder and I like how you converted their quail box into a brooder. Great Idea. I will keep it in mind once my husband lets me get some chicks.
Glad to see yall back, really missed you two. On your trays, look into oil trays like you put under a car. A quail channel I watch uses those for his quail pens. If you want to know the channel let me know, don't want to put it here unless you want me too. Once again, welcome back. Love you guys.
I love this! I would definitely use some pine shavings in there for warmth and comfort. Should be super easy to clean with the fold down doors. God bless!
BTW Jacob. We are going to Foam our Skid Steer Tires. Cant keep them inflated… constant flats. Our on-site tire guy tells us that foaming them adds weight and stability to the unit - aside from eliminating flats. Will keep you advised on this as to cost and outcome.
I enjoy watching you build stuff. Those are some cute little chicks. Yes they might want something other than screen to stand on. Great idea and work. Truly enjoyed and thank you.
I used the cups with the yellow tabs for grown chickens and I had to work on them and adjust them to keep the cups from leaking. They did not last long. I think that the ones you ended up with should be better. I'm glad that you did this video because I will be getting back into raising show chickens again and I will be getting a cabinet incubator and hatching. Lots of good information, thank you.
Great idea, and great job on the build Jacob! I think adding some hay or shavings in one area is also a good idea. BTW, Judah is so big and beautiful. Love you guys, and so very happy you are back! Looking forward to see how your chicks settle in to their new digs. 👍🐥🐤❤
Great seeing you back on! You’ve been missed! This brooder looks really great! I love Living Traditions Homestead channel as well; such good hearted people that share their knowledge! God Bless!
Glad to see you're back making videos. Missed seeing you guys. A great video. My daughter raises chickens. You gave me some good ideas. Keep up the good work. Be waiting on your next video.
There a young woman who lives near me that has the same dog. Made me think about you all and how you were training your dog. Glad you back building hope cooking too.😊🙏
One of the many reasons I enjoy y'all's channel, you explain things when you're building or doing something. So happy y'all are putting out videos again.
So glad you are back and sharing awesome dyi videos. God will continue to bless you both and your channel as you continue sharing with a Christian attitude. Look forward not backward.
Good stuff! Couple suggestions for anyone using your template. 1) make the dimensions the same size as your hardware cloth so you don't have to cut and trim. 2) face your barrel bolt latches down, in case they unlatch they won't open accidentally 3) i have tried many watering cups but also found the ones you used and they have lasted for years with no problems. IMO they are the best.
Great to see you guys! Judah is a beautiful boy,grew up fast. I like your brooder but it sure looks like one of the quail cages from my barn,lol. Hopeing the new yr brings ya'll countless blessings! Much love,stay safe
Those chickadees are going to be happy. I don’t live your lifestyle but for me this is so interesting. All your videos are. I don’t know if you or Alex is doing the photography and music but it is so good. Jacob your poise and the way you talk is like a teacher is a great way.
Thank you so much! Jacob does a great job of explaining things in detail. Lol He’s the face of the video, and I do the videography and editing. We work good as a team in that aspect. 😊
So nice to see the both of you back on. For the coup, if the bolts are not latched correctly, they may fall down out of the upper clip. If they are turned around, the bolt may be more likely to fall into the clip and keep the door from falling open. That kind of coup will save your backs for sure.
Hi from northern Australia, great to see you guys. Love that massive big pooch that I’ve seen grown . He gleams. Farming is a great life , I grew up on a farm , loved it and still miss it in my Seventies . God bless you guys
Very nice job Alex and Jacob! I love the doors on it! Every time I get by my old rabbit cage I rip my hands and arms open on it. It's so great to see you both again. Welcome back! X's &
So nice to see you back!! Been missing you! Great video, thanks for sharing your great ideas and plans with us. Haven't missed a video yet, looking forward to the next one. Happy new year!🎉
I am glad that you are back to making videos. I hope you all had a Blessed and Merry Christmas. May the New Year be filled with love, laughter, and happiness. May God be with you always. Love from Dadeville, Alabama
Hi. It's good to see you guys again. 🥰 The brooder looks good. I was thinking the chicks would get cold but it's an indoor setup. Cool. So....be well. God bless you. 🙏☝️
I have used the rent a coop cup for the last two years for my flock. I still have my original cups in use. I have not had any leaks out of them, but they can get clogged easily because the area that closes off is only about 1/8" wide. I would certain buy them again. Nice design for the brooder. Thanks for sharing.
I love this build! It can be adapted for so many different kinds of livestock. The only change I would make is flipping the latches around, so the center stem goes down and not up to lock it into place. Great job on the video. So glad to have you back. Hugs to Y'all Ü
Love the intro! Best DYI I've seen in a long time! So glad your back. Just like to say......I always thought about y'all. Still wear your 👕 shirt. I figured something happened, none of my business. But, I'm so sorry you were hurt. I wish I could have kept it from ya. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸👍⛵⚓
I AM SO GLAD TO SEE SOOO MANY OF US OLDTIMERS TO YOUR CHANEL, AND YOU 2 HAVE A LOT OF READING OF ADMIRING COMMENTS AHEAD OF YOU. I LOVE HOW YOU 2 TELL US WHAT WORKS AND WHAT TO DO DIFFERENTLY. THANK YOU, SOOO MUCH FOR BEING YOU, AND GOD'S BLESSINGS ALWAYS.
Glad to see you both back, boy has Judah grown he is beautiful Thank you for sharing Check out sow the land he made a pull out drawer for his chick pen he built
Always love seeing Y'all and the animals and his coat is so beautiful Judah not Jacbo well I guess his is nice too ha ha. Y'all work so hard or your animal it show you care love you both and God Bless.. I'm soo glad your back an I to have watch living tradition homestead for a long time it is so good to watch people that have Faith in their soul and heart.
Thanks for sharing. This is a great design that can potentially start a lot of chicks from it. The water cups could be a bit higher or even make it adjustable according to the height of the chicks. Usually we want them to be the same height as chick's back to avoid poop in the water. I tried all of the water device available, the one worked best for me was the horizontal chicken nipples. You never need to clean it. And it can save a lot of water compared with other chicken nipples.
One thing I learned is to always make the doors smaller than they need to be. There's no need for them to be a tight fit, they can leave even a half inch all the way around, that way you're not fighting with opening and closing or wood expanding or contracting, easier to install too

Well presented!
This is want I need
Welcome back! I like stealing ideas from everyone's builds & incorporating it with my own ideas. Thank you for the ideas.
I need this on my homestead for this spring

Those are good ideas
@@SawyerRidgeFarm I think you'll find them inexpensive and useful. Good luck!
Do you have any pictures of this set up, I would like to see it?
@@donnameacham4426 Which setup are you referring to, if to me? I personally moved from the farm a while ago, I live in Florida now, but I'd be happy to talk you through it if interested
@@russellwatters5891 I was inquiring about the automatic feeder system you spoke of.
So happy y’all are back and doing well!
Work is satisfying with years end, your presence on you tube has been a long missed channel, May many years shower you both with abundance.
I use my office chair also in my garage to move around and build things!! But I'm 70 years old and it makes things much easier for me.
That is awesome and will save on your backs from bending over as well. You sure do have a lot of chicks right now. So happy you guys are back, I have missed you both.
Yes! We’re trying to raise up a new flock.
How are y'all guys I missed y'all. I'm glad you made it. I know alot of us miss y'all.
We’re doing great! Thanks!
Nice brooder, that would work well for quails also
Glad to see you guys back. The chickens look comfortable in there. Nice job Jacob.
So love seeing you guys back. You are both such good instructors and truly have faith in what you are doing.
Jacob, it's nice to see you and Alex again.
So happy to see you guys back on RUclips... Missed watching your channel. Judah sure has grown into a pretty good looking fella. Hope Moses is still doing well also.
Thank you, and Moses is doing good as well.
So very glad to see you 2 Beautiful folks again,Was sure missing you!!!!!!💕wholesome n humble,just love you so so much.

Welcome back, I often wondered why people didn't have their chicks in cages like doves. Good job!
Judah you have gotten big boy!! Beautiful dog!! So happy to see him.

Thank you! We love Living Traditions also!
GLAD YOUR BACK!! We used the 4" pvc and it worked great for us
A much needed how to video…..thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Nice to have it elevated off the ground so you don’t have to bend over so much & tweak your backs .. although Alex doesn’t have to bend over quite that far, lol.
I didn’t realize you guys got a horse … oh wait, that’s your dog, lol. He sure has grown from the puppy we last saw.
Those baby chicks are so cute, hope this type of set up makes it easier for you both. Have a wonderful evening ~peace
Thank you!

Thank you for the idea. We just recently bought some trays that are going to work!
Glad your back it's been a long time
I am glad that your channel is back.
Judah is beautiful and has gotten so big. So happy y'all are putting out videos again.
Wow that's an awesome setup! 👍.. it will be even better with the trays to catch the mess 👊.. Great job ❤️
Yes!! Thanks Auntie Ann!
I love this! I would definitely use some pine shavings in there for warmth and comfort. Should be super easy to clean with the fold down doors. God bless!
NOW you are officially back! This is the kind of stuff that I like to see. If it works for you, it will work for all of us.
BTW Jacob. We are going to Foam our Skid Steer Tires. Cant keep them inflated… constant flats. Our on-site tire guy tells us that foaming them adds weight and stability to the unit - aside from eliminating flats. Will keep you advised on this as to cost and outcome.
Thanks! And yes, I can see the foam being beneficial. The tires we have on ours are solid rubber. So very helpful in some rough terrain.
@@SawyerRidgeFarm do you have problems with thrm pulling off the Rims?
Oh my gosh Your dog has grown and is very handsome! The chicks will be very happy in that set up!
I enjoy watching you build stuff. Those are some cute little chicks. Yes they might want something other than screen to stand on. Great idea and work. Truly enjoyed and thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Oh I forgot to tell Alex hello. Your hair is just beautiful. You look happy and healthy as ever!🙂
Thank you so much! 😊
I used the cups with the yellow tabs for grown chickens and I had to work on them and adjust them to keep the cups from leaking. They did not last long. I think that the ones you ended up with should be better.
I'm glad that you did this video because I will be getting back into raising show chickens again and I will be getting a cabinet incubator and hatching.

The automatic cups worked perfectly! So glad we went with them instead of the others.
Great idea, and great job on the build Jacob! I think adding some hay or shavings in one area is also a good idea. BTW, Judah is so big and beautiful. Love you guys, and so very happy you are back! Looking forward to see how your chicks settle in to their new digs. 👍🐥🐤❤

Very nice job Alex and Jacob! I love the doors on it! Every time I get by my old rabbit cage I rip my hands and arms open on it. It's so great to see you both again. Welcome back! X's &
Thank you for making this "honey do" video on how to make a chick broder. Just what we needed.
God bless
Pne
So glad to see you two again. It's been too long. From the UK x
I like the way you use that office chair to sit while you work. I do the same thing.
Saves the ol back.
Make your own trays with sheet metal and rivets. Great idea on the brooder.
Glad to see you back. 💖🐱👤
Welcome back!!! I love this chicken coop. Can’t wait for more. God bless and stay safe
So nice to see you back!!
Been missing you! Great video, thanks for sharing your great ideas and plans with us.
Haven't missed a video yet, looking forward to the next one.
Happy new year!🎉
This looks to be a good idea, I watch that channel, I know Kevin was excited about those cages.
Yes, it has worked out great for us!
That design would be great for raising quail as well
thumbs up because i like your channel
So great to see u guys back on ur channel. Keep them coming.God bless be safe and may the new year bring greatness..

Hi. It's good to see you guys again. 🥰
The brooder looks good. I was thinking the chicks would get cold but it's an indoor setup. Cool. So....be well. God bless you. 🙏☝️
Yes! As long as it’s cold outside we’ll keep this inside the shop and under heat lamps!
It’s good to see you back.
Good to be back!

Yes, we’re going to have to do that. We already experienced a shop full of loose chickies cause the latch came undone. 😬
Love the intro! Best DYI I've seen in a long time! So glad your back. Just like to say......I always thought about y'all. Still wear your 👕 shirt. I figured something happened, none of my business. But, I'm so sorry you were hurt. I wish I could have kept it from ya.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸👍⛵⚓
