    I think your answer of when are you going to have babies……. Answer…when we are ready. It’s a safe answer to no one else’s business. That’s just my opinion. We had that question for so long that I got tired of it. For us it was 10 years. By the way, you guys are great.

    On another channel I watch, their chickens peck at the foam board insulation around the bottom of their house & ripped it all up. I hope your chickens are better behaved for you all, you did such a nice job. Congratulations again, your wedding & honeymoon videos were fun. Glad you all are back, you were missed. Maybe on the really, really cold nights you could convince Salem to come in, he'd probably get used to it the more he realizes how nice it feels. He's such a cutie. I love seeing him pop into your videos, got to have those Salem sightings now & then. We have a black cat too & I swear black cats always have the best personalities & usually are pretty vocal. Have a great week. 💜🐈‍⬛🤗

    Might want to consider covering that foam insulation with something. The chickens love to tear it apart :) We took ours out and we often go a week at a time well below zero and the chickens dont seem to mind at all. Theyre tougher than you think but also probably appreciate the added warmth. Congratulation on your marriage!

    ❤ Babies are very expensive, and everything that goes along with them. But the joy they bring to a house is the greatest feeling ever. But not everyone feels that way. Because right now we have a very crappy world we live in. To bring a baby into the world on purpose right now is very scary. You'll know when the time is right. ❤ 😊

    Chickens have survived for hundreds of years without heat that's why they roost together to stay warm. You need to have a source of water for them that wont freeze. I have chickens up here in Iowa and that tip saved me a lot of money and time. PS: don't use foam inside the chickens will eat it and that's not good for them. All they need is a dry and draft free coop with a little vent for fresh air.

You both are young and you still have a lot of work and projects to finish before anything else. You have your priorities very clear at this point. I've been watching your videos ever since you brought the shipping containers and all the pros and cons as well. I'm 68 years old and i admire you both for been such hard workers and never giving up.

    Cody, if your batteries are like most lithium batteries, they put out heat when they are charging or running anything like your inverter. If you keep them insulated well they will probably provide enough heat to keep themselves from freezing. Congratulations on your marriage. It was a very enjoyable one to watch.

    Congratulations on your wedding, we all had a wonderful time 😂. Your honeymoon was amazing,so glad you had a great trip❤. As for Salem, do you and Cody have a couple of old shirts/ tee shirts ready for the rag bag? Don’t wash them, leave your scent on them and lay them in the cat house. That may help as it probably smells too ‘new’. As for babies, a) that’s your business and b) get the things you want to do done on the property and enjoy yourselves, as you said you are only 25, there’s plenty of time to have to have kids. And of course you want them to be perfect so that takes a lot of practice 😉

Also feed y'all's chickens corn in the winter the corn will help the chickens to maintain their body temperature because corn generates heat. Then when the weather next spring starts staying warmer then stop feeding them corn.

    Chickens will be fine cuddled on there perch in the winter, as long as they stay dry. Now we just make sure snow and rain cant get inside the run. Just leave tge cat house for tge cold winter, your cats thick with a nice coat, right niw it coud be to warm for him

    @tonyshipman257 Год назад +1

    Hi Cody & Summer, Congratulations! I've found that our cats want to be the one who comes up with the idea of where to sleep. From time to time I would put them where I think they would be most comfortable and I pet them to keep them there for a little while, so their scent gets on the material. At times, I've also put a t-shirt that I have recently wore on the bedding. Over time, our cats now use all the places I've shown them. When they want they will go there. And when it is too cold for them they will find your heated area. Just don't move it around and change things. Keep it in the place you think is best and leave it there. They don't like change. Or at least our cats don't. Hope you get the things needed to be done before winter. I've been doing the same for weeks now. The list is long.
