I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

Good morning. I just wanted to let you know there is a wooden product to set under the edge of your rippled plastic. It is also ribbed put it is filled in. You just tuck it under the ends and no critters can sneak in. It also blocks cold air. Looks like this ~~~~~~~~~~. and comes in strips. I've used in in my greenhouse roof. Looking awesome. I'd still put a chain on the door so it doesn't hit someone shorter. Great work you two.
That's what I used for the roof of my over hang . Top , bottom and the middle of the sheet . Helps to keep the plastic sheet more ridged .
MARLENE Kutcher : I have seen that too, now that I think about it.. good catch!👍
Do yourself a favor and add a sheet of cheap linoleum to the floor. It makes for easy and fast cleanup! I did it for mine 8 years ago and boy what a time and work saver!
I've never seen a more beautiful chicken coop! Wow!
Al,... what do you mean you're in a good mood this morning?... you're ALWAYS in a good mood! Great build on the boxes... girls will really enjoy!
Hi Lumnah Family.I don't know anything about anything when it comes to homesteading or building anything lol all I know is I enjoy watching everything you do.
I know alot about homesteading... but. Nothing at the same time... only what can be learned online cause I'm going to be buying my land in a few years, but dont have any actual experience.... and I also love watching the Lumnahs
Awesome! You have to start somewhere.
Amen from this place.
I enjoy reading your comments, people really interact with your family and your projects. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you.
Yours is my go to video in the morning. Love watching the projects that you and Gina create. Thanks for sharing with us. Bless you all.
All that snow will be gone soon... spring is just around the corner..! Chicken coop is amazing!!!🐓🐓🐓
Everything you build, is beautiful Al, Gina is learning excellent skill set by your finishing the project to a T. Looking forward to seeing the remaining of Rusty's hens in their new digs. 💜🤠
Don't forget to put a chain on the nesting box door to keep it from swinging all the way down!
12:43 and magically, Al grows 2 more hands! I think the goats didn't like the last batch of hay so that is why is was strewn everywhere. This batch they seem to love. Those will be some cozy eggs in that new nest box! This coop is gorgeous! Blessings to all.
Part of the enjoyment of your vlogs (aside from the sharing of daily chores & the projects)
is the great taste in Music & the editing to make it all work. Just as much effort goes on behind the camera prior to upload as the filming itself. I have really enjoyed the music all along & just wanted to say how well it all works together. Kudos & Well Done!
❣❣❣ 🎶💖
Hi Al and Gina, your doing a fantastic job of raising your livestock. All the animals 💘 your family. Your reliable, as you feed them and water them at the same time each day. You acknowledge them by name. Touch each one, so they feel special, connected and loved. You keep there environment clean. And you protect and keep them safe from predators and even other animals on the farm. YOUR A # 1 in my book. Much Love, G-D Bless.
Angels Arrived - *Gina*
Tony Grimes. Thank You, didn't catch the miss print. LOL
@@angelsarrived2642 We are human, therefore fallible!
I kept a lightbulb in the coop on a timer in the winter for egg production. An extra 4-5 hours of light will definitely increase egg production.Today, solar lights would work fantastic.
Debby Most - Lumnah Acres explained in a video why they do not use lights in the coop.
@@tonygrimes13 I wasn't suggesting Al install lights, just putting info out there for anyone who's interested.
But as an FYI , people should know that doing so shortens the chickens’ laying life.
@@cathiwim I've heard people comment that artificial light will decrease the hen's lifespan, or decrease the number of eggs she lays during her lifetime. There is no evidence of supplemental lighting decreasing longevity, provided you supply adequate nutrition and allow the birds to molt every 12-18 months.
Supplemental LIGHT in the Chicken Coop - The Chicken Chick
I researched it.
The insulated nesting boxes are really nice Al. You should have good luck with them, at least no frozen eggs anymore. The goats are looking good. I can't wait til spring when there are more critters on the homestead.
Awesome nesting box, looks great on the side of the coop. Cannot wait till it is finished and the chickens are in it.
Oh, BTW, you make building anything look easy! Just amazing!
That's great that you are insulating the nesting boxes. I often wondered why more people don't do it. Great job as usual. Have a great day!
The new coop is really looking good. I can't wait till it's finished.
I love how you guys work together on these building projects. You make it look so easy lol
I love how the white roof looks on the coop and nesting boxes, they are going to be spoilt in there. You will need to cover those end boxes inside or they will peck your insulation out
Yeah, don't want chickens eating that lol!
Yes, chickens love to peck foam!!
I would say the goats eat more in the winter to give more body weight so they can produce more heat to stay warm, and by the way thats an awsome coop
glenda carpenter you are half right- its because the DIGESTION of the hay is what causes more heat to keep them warm.
@@cathiwim Exactly!
@@cathiwim Exactly!
Yes, that is what's going on. Back when I worked on my employers farm ( Now I work at his industrial business), we knew when it was going to be really cold because for a week or so before the cold snap, the cows would EAT crazy amounts of hay! Lots of it!
Just a quick suggestion. Perhaps suspend the green road sweeping brush horizontally between two vert poles and at a height that the goats can get under and really scratch their backs. Just walk under and get instant back rubs and itch relief.
REALLY enjoy watching all of your videos from start to finish. Thanks for sharing!
Love all your videos and that coop is a great idea. 5 boxes and they will use 2 of them.
The precision with which you construct everything is a joy to watch -- and I've learned some additional techniques along the way....so, Thank you! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 2/17/2020.
Glad you got the coop out, close quarters. I would have thought you would have opted for a 10 foot door. In my pole building and new garage I specified 10 foot wide doors, I would personally want 10 foot wide doors in all buildings and 4 foot people doors, much easier to get things in and out. Like you rain catching devices, great idea, I used a 300 gallon oval stock tank plus barrels. Our nesting boxes were always on the inside of the coop, yours seem to be easier to get the eggs. Your work shop is fantastic, like how your saws compliment each other.
I went out to Tim Horton's for coffee and blueberry muffins this morning, just to watch your videos by. Don't often do that.
Are you from good old Canada :)
I love Tim Horton's coffee. It's my first stop whenever in Canada
Try McDonalds coffee when in Canada . It's tastes much better . I kid you not . Stopped buying Tim's years ago unless there is no McDonalds around .
Soooo jealous GKevin!!!❤️😊
Ya know, Al, I watch a fair number of Maker channels on RUclips. _Yours is the _*_very best_** Homestead Maker/Creator channel.*_ You have something to teach other RUclips homestead channels.
go with a french cleat system so you ca n expand and adapt your storage as needed
Capt. Sharky great suggestion!
The chicken coop is looking like a real flashy 5 star hotel for your chickens. Definitely fit for royalty! You got quite the palace for your chickens ;) very snazzy nesting boxes too.
Grubblies are potato chips for the Ferengi. Yum!
Wow you wonderful people have a lot of snow, here in Ontario Oregon. None at all.
When you pull out the new coop in was holding my breath until. You were out.
I hope you amazing people stay warm.
Well built last for long time good job
Al you and Gina made a fantastic chicken nesting box. I enjoy watching you build so many things for your homestead. Love your channel.
Sandy Norlock - Plastic panels, then insulation & plywood.
Great nesting box
Suggestions for your next projects, maybe do some insulation upgrades to New Yolk City and then in the spring, do an upgrade on your house by adding a large covered deck where the sliding patio doors are.
All you make things look so easy when you build something. Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
All is looking good.
Thanks for sharing
really nice job on the coop; looking forward to the piggies, we keep Australorpes very good egg layers, good utility bird too
Really great chicken coop.
Makes me want to go build stuff... you make it look easy 😏. Nice job 👏👏👏👏😃👊
Loving the new coop! Quick Question though, are you going to get the vet out to Ultrasound the girls this year? Willow sure is looking large!
Are there any surprises anymore? We as humans dont know the ultimate end of ultrasounds! Why are we going to subject our animals to that? Whats the problem with simply waiting to see what she has?
Baby Catcher An ultrasound should determine if the goats are pregnant, right?
I was asking for the purpose of confirming pregnancy, not how many they have each... the blood test is another option.
Hello,Al,Gina, and Olivia! Love watching your you tube channel
I think your all amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, I always wait for the next video adventure with great anticipation . All the pets and animals are wonderfully entertaining. Enjoying ya’ll so much
New Yolk City is a great chicken coop!!
This spring you should dam up the crick into a duck pond
A warmer chicken coup might make happier chickens lay more eggs!
Trains & Things - It's a coop, a coup is a completely different thing. The perils of Auto Complete!
Lol right
Thanks for Sharing now I got an idea how to expand my coop
don't forget to put the inside door on for the nesting boxes
I am continuously amazed by the two if you!! Can’t wait to see the next project you do!!
Solar panel and heat lamps set on a timer, best solution. Keeps the chickens and the eggs warm.
I love the Chick Palace! I could live in that myself, but I don't need nesting boxes! lol
Fay Baldwin I’ve lived in places that weren’t built this well!
You seem to never make mistakes with your building. The new chicken coop is awesome!
RE: Tool Holders: Suggest you look into the French Cleat system. Would look great on the walls behind your work benches. Advantage: easy to move the individual tool holders when you want to.
Just a quick question 🤔 what happened to " A guide to modern homesteading, self-sufficiency, and freedom"?
Those chickens better reward you guys with tons of eggs for all of your hard work. Great build!
You folks are great!! Can't wait for the spring and see what you all do. Good job.
Question for you? What is your plan to keep your chickens from eating the foam.
For Olivia:
I am full blooded American who also learned Spanish in school. I began learning in grade K. Here is a trick for you that is not really a trick, but should help you be able to never forget 1-100 again.
1-9 are your base numbers. Memorize those.
10-19 never again are repeated. Memorize those. Notice the first letter of each number between diez and vente match the 1-9 numbers.
20-99 repeat. Memorize by 10's. Learn 20,30,40,50 etc.
1-9 repeats on every ten. If you know trenta for 30 then you know 31-39 for example. trenta y uno, trenta y dos, trenta y tres, etc. (later you will learn a few have a convenient change in how it can be said and written, but for now just learn the basics.)
So, 14 is catorce. C matches 4 Cuatro. Setenta 16 S matches seis 6. 'ten' in the middle matches 10. 10 and 6 is the old English way of saying and writing 16. Setenta (sixteen) is the new way of saying the same thing.
Remember this and you'll never ever forget at least on up to 100. After that is all up to how much you use the language. 😉
Edit: Figured it probably be wise to come back and explain 15. Cinco matches quince, if you see 'C' in place of 'qu.' Both have the hard 'C' sound. Plus, just think about when you have heard someone is having a Quinciera. That is the 15th birthday which is celebrated as we celebrate Sweet Sixteen.
You placed insulation under the base floor and nesting boxes, are you going to line the whole building then cover with plywood? As this would keep all the heat in during the winter and cooler during the summer.
Family, Looking Good Cant wait to see the Birds living in their new home !! might have to use Heat Tape or heat the Coop... Stay Warm !!
Al & Gina that's a lot of hard work put into the coop. Rusty's girls better pick up egg production in it. Olivia is such a blessing. How did the repair on the countertop come out. Much love from OHIO ❤️❣️❣️❤️
Insulate the whole coop
Hi al just wanted to tell you that you might need to put plywood to cover anywhere theirs foam visible inside the coop so that the chickens wnt wat it
Your new project is looking super 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing🤗
You are always in a good mood!
I guessed right again on the eggs. I don't blame you Olivia, I wouldn't eat the grubblies yuck. I hope you and your family have a great day.
Try using the factory corrugated edge as your straight edge for marking straight cuts. . Only one mark needed and its more accurate. Just a sugestion. Love your videos!
One light bulb will up your eggs . Puts warmth in the coop and the light fools the hens to produce more
The nesting box looks Great
If you add to much weight to this you may not be able to move it where you ultimately want it.
Even if you try moving it with your truck or a bigger tractor.
Hey folks! Love your show and watch EVERY MORNING! Me and the wife are currently in Louisiana but we are moving to East Tennessee very to do what you guys are doing. I love y’all’s goats, chickens, dogs and who can forget...Figerro. Can you tell me the acoustic guitar music on the laying box building during? Keep on doing what y’all are doing...living for health, being human beings than being human doers!
Ryan Guilbeau - I don't know the music but there are Apps you can download that identify music/songs.
Good morning! You can try the peg board method on your wall, so you don't take up room on your work bench area.
To increase production in the Winter, they need a light on a timer that will extend the short days. Since this is a portable building like the original house, maybe a solar light could be installed on a timer. What are the plans for the original house? Do you plan on keeping them both? Maybe the new one for the dark egg layers you want to hatch out? The babies are going to need a heat lamp. How will you get the electricity to run the heat lamps? Also, do you plan on gutters and a rain barrel like on the original?
Joyce t - Lumnah Acres explained in a video why they do not use lights in the coop.
@@tonygrimes13 I never saw that video. Do you remember why?
Joyce, using lighting shortens a chicken’s laying life. It puts more stress on the chicken’s pituitary gland. Without lights, thechickens get a rest in the winter. My chickens will lay successfully for 5 years, with no lights. With lights, you are doing pretty well to get 3 years of eggs. Then the chicken is only good for the stewpot.
@@madampolo Lumnah Acres did not want to upset the natural cycle of egg laying.
@@cathiwim I didn't know that. I know how old my chickens are and will track how long they lay. They have lights and produce about 15 eggs a day for 19 hens all through the winter. Google says it depends on the breed.
Looks like someone cleaned the shop!
The old chicken coop has the barrel for rain water. What or how are you going to get water or rain water to the new chicken coop brooder?
I was going to ask that too! lol
Laurel Scheck - Probably something similiar.
Given time, Al will likely add a rain barrel to the new coops, too.
Where is the hen door???
Awesome Hen House!
Goats look so cute trotting in the snow trail to the hayfeeder. Looking forward to you having more baby goats. Will you be buying another goat from Hopes bloodline?? She is the sweetest goat.😀😀
There is not a chicken in the world that would not be proud to lay their eggs in that nesting box. Great job, guys, keep having fun on the homestead.
u should french cleate the nesting boxes on
Very nice coop, it's a Cadillac Coop! Are you going to put the same type of night time nesting block on the new coop as you have on New Yolk City? Also need a chain on the nesting box door outside so it will form a platform for you instead of swinging all the way down.
Carrying a hammer at your hip would perhaps prevent you from damaging your hand when you use that appendage as a hammer. I really like the chicken coop.
Great job. You build the coops better than some houses....lol.
I'm pretty new here and have already found that you and your family have some of the best videos, with excellent filming, content and editing. Kudos to all of you. I'm curious about the 'license plates' RIP CWC on the New Yolk chicken coop.
Coop looks great..
Have a good day ☃️☃️☃️
Name for new coop/Rowdy Rusty's Roost

I’m unable to get to the community page. I don’t have a desk top computer or a newer phone, iPad. It says I need an update
Nice job on the Chicken Coop -- the purists will be having a kaniption -- no plans !!!!!!! WHAT ?!!!!!!!!! --- people who can build on the fly are NUMBER 1 in my books. LOVE YOUR STYLE.
Winter water for chickens: would solar powered heating elements mounted to bottom of metal roof, melt snow thus providing water for chickens ?
The egg box is certainly upgraded with some insulation. Will any predators be able to get on top of the new coop roof and break through the fiberglass panels?
I wouldn't be able to build much of what you've envisioned and built, so I'm not going to tell you how to do all that hard work you and Gina do on the Homestead.
Why not using the little bins that you made up for on the fence?
LOL weathermen... It's eni meni mini moe pick your weather today. Dobt feel bad we have the same weather here snow ❄️ 3 to 5... Love the last video Gina is so funny! 😂
Here in Wisc it's the same way with this weather.
You should pick up your eggs at noon.Theres always a certain amount of hens that lay their eggs early in the morning.
Al what did you think about the pegboard on wall behind work bench to hold tools etc? Have a good day!
Did you decide a name for the new chicken coupe? I thought Brood and Breakfast was appropriate.
Pamela Keller - There is a poll on their Community page with 5 names, use this link to find ruclips.net/channel/UC_1nZUpPS6jFv5Pn3f85CaAcommunity
I discovered with my chickens that they prefer hay/straw in the nesting box's over shavings. I have given both of my chicken coops the option. They go for the hay/straw just about every time
Yeah my chickens really like their straw. I think they enjoy rearranging the straw while they wait to lay their egg.
Gonna take a sauna! Lolol!!
- I think you'll need to put an upper filler piece on those inside ends. For some reason my chickens see rigid insulation and shred it immediately. You may even need something to keep them from attacking the bottom on the outside though it may be high enough that they won't go for it. I hope this works but without added heat in the coop it will likely be the same temp inside and out.
- Are you going to put the roosts higher than the nest boxes so you don't need to make and operate a chicken excluder on the inside like you have in NYC?
- siete plus siete = catorce
Good morning Lumnah Acres. I’m in a good mood myself. Today is going to be about 5-12 degrees warmer so I will take it. I think two of the girls are mothers to be, I’m not quite sure about one.
