I would love to see the fox and family walking away after a hard night of digging for nothing!! It would be a great entertainment to install night vision camera to watch them at work!
That chicken coop is safer than Fort Knox😊
Best channel on RUclips!!! You and Nancy make my life enjoyable. I cant hardly wait for the chickens to debut.
Hollis you are a hard worker! Keep going and sharing! Christ is Lord!
Hollis... jack of all trades "Master of All" you are amazing...👍
Wow, thanks
This looks very secure. Once we laid 3 ft high chain link fence flat on the ground around our coop. The grass grew up through it and couldn't be seen. Made a great barrier. Looking forward to more videos.
I see Bing Bing was playing Foreman...barking out his orders. Such a cutie...chicken coop looks great !!
Good plan. It's great viewing the design and description on paper and the final results 👏👏👏🐔🚫🦊
Have I been saying golden eggs? Your flock will lay platinum eggs! LOL The flock will have no worries for sure!! Those chickens, once they arrive, will want for nothing!!! Great video! Bing Bing was keeping things in order out there 😊
You got that right!
Wanted you guys to know how important this video is. I know many people who have lost birds to predators digging in. I will be doing this immediately. Thanks for the great content.
Our pleasure!
Broke my back when I was insulating my house. Fell off ...would like so much to be able to do that. Great job!
You and Nancy do everything to the best . Well planned out and do awesome work. Bing Bing wanted to play with you while you were digging. Silly Bing Bing. God Bless you and stay safe with the hurricane off Florida.
Thanks so much
I just found this channel, I'm not a religious person. However, I get good energy and vibes from you and your wife. I learned so much from the potato diagram that you did. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. :).
Nancy you are doing a magnificent and wonderful job with that camera showing HOLLIE how to dance
Just gotta say....that Florida two-step is quite fancy, Hollis. LOL Looking good! And the chicken coop isn't half bad either. xoxo
You are a one man construction crew. Congratulations well done.
It has caught up with me this year. I am feeling my age and in much pain😔
Hopefully you find a way to heal to alleviate some of the pain. Maybe a good chiropractor might help?
Hollis, I like that 2 step shuffle there at the end!
The exit ramp might be vulnerable, if you didn't bury any wire under it. The corners of the building, also, unless you extended out the 2' on the front and back. I really like your way of dealing with diggers. Where we live, we have foxes, raccoons, coyotes, skunks, you name it. Your chickens are going to be safe! I like the look of your chicken house -- very clean and neat. You two are doing an amazing job of building a homestead. You are an inspiration to those of us who are "not young" that this can be possible, even as we grow older. God bless you.
I watched your Chicken Setup #9, and saw how you made and installed the exit ramp. If you didn't put the wire mesh under that, maybe a fox or coon *could* dig underneath. Maybe just lifting up the ramp and then driving a few pieces of rebar into the ground, under the ramp and in the corners, would harden up those gaps. You did a great job with the post & wire method, and I can't wait to see everything up and running (especially the quail)! I'm just thinking like a fox, LOL.
Great job!I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good presentations on the process of bringing your Florida homestead to life.
Thanks so much!
Hollis, I just love your "chicken dance" along the side of the building.
Great idea. 5 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bing Bing is so cute. He doesn't like that rascally shovel lol
Good bless you, Hollis, Nancy and Bing Bing. Don't forget to take care of yourselves, please. The amount of work that you've been doing especially since moving to the FL homestead needs recoperation time.
Yes indeed. Very tired lately. It has been a long journey
Also they also were attacking people of any faith so when we share the Lord in Scripture I guess they're going after it this is what I have heard from other channels that I listen to God's still on the throne guys we are where we are but I will do everything I can do and I just love your channel because you guys are the sweetest people and I'll share this with everybody else I know and have the hook onto your channel don't go away we love you out here❤
We have also heard that too but really didn’t want to believe it. However after seeing what Twitter was doing to people it would not surprise me. Praying for God to protect us from our haters.
Definitely like your way more then mine. More cost effective and quicker for sure. I poured a concrete footer all the way around our coop😂👍🙏🇺🇸
I used reclaimed broken concrete pieces lining the inside and outside of chicken wire over chainlink, but would prefer the solid concrete footer. We've had it for several years and now it's probably time to pour post hole cement into the gaps to seal it better.
@@lsieu you should be ok i think, I live not to far from rodman reservoir, north on 19 about 45mins. Great fishery. You guys look like you are settling in just fine at your new homestead here in the sunshine state
Job well done! Now you'll only have to keep Bing-Bing from the chickens. ;D
You're all working really, really hard, and everything looks so great, BLESS you both
Thank you so much!
Inspector Bing Bing on the job. Well done.
Chicken coop is looking super great thats going to keep them safe for sure!
That's the plan!
Great job Hollis and Nancy and the guard dog BING BING!!👍👍. You did a great job and video as usual. It’s getting closer and closer to being finished then take a break time. You all need a break. Fred.
So close!
I can't wait until you get your chickens.
Thank you Margaret👍. We will be releasing a mini-series starting in January on Raising Chickens. I think you will get a kick out of them. Thanks for watching ❤️
Nice moves for the Charlie Chaplin dance there Hollis lol, was funny in the faster mode! Thanks for sharing with us.
😂😂👍
Good move on planning ahead with the predators. That will definitely save y'all some heartache. 👍
You got that right!
I don't think there's a chicken farmer in the world thought of that
This looks like a big spread from your other back yard growing areas. Hope you didn't have too much rain from that hurricane Hollis and Nancy! Love all your videos and excellent diagrams! and patience teaching us all !!
No problems from the storm. It was well East of us. Prayers for the folks up north in way of the storm🙏
@@HollisNancysHomestead , I'm catching up on your new homestead videos. I've watched so many of the backyard homestead in Virginia, I didn't know you relocated! I'll be catching up soon, staying awake nearly all night just too learn more from you both, Thank You for sharing!! :)
Yeah, we have been in Florida since November 2017. Lots of new videos have been released on our journey here on the new homestead. Enjoy the videos👍
You are both awesome!!
Great job. You must have to do that around the whole perimeter? Maybe even their yard? Such a lovable and loyal puppy too🐶
Yes, around the entire perimeter of their building.
Snow in Florida? That jacked come off quick!!
💚loved the background music 💚
Always your video’s the very best.
Glad you think so!
I sure wish I had thought of burying wire fencing around, and a layer of it underneath, my shed before I placed it. There's been a huge groundhog living under it for years. I was surprised to see the fencing attached to logs; won't that become a termite haven? I'll bet it's treated wood, but will that stop termites? I sure hope so. Great idea, great job. Your future chickens will be living in chicken Shangri-La. Protected and pampered. Can't wait to see!
Yes about building before the flock
Very Nice thinks
Amazing as usual
Thank you so much 😀
Missed you guys
I LOVE YOUR CURIO CABINET AND YOUR NICK FIGURINES , PROBABLY YOU WERE STATION OVERSEAS
Thank you.
Welcome!
The biggest threat to my chicken coop is my two year old. Needless to say she's winning :)
I'll never forget that Florida loamy soil! Way differnet than the gumbo we have to dig through in S.E. Texas!
My soil is sandy.
Hard packed clay here in central Indianapolis.
Great job! 👏
Thank you! 😄
Looks good
I watch your videos alot. I have a question in regards to the chicken coop. Do you have a run to protect your chickens? I see a huge fence behind and on the side but could not see if you have them seperated from your garden area, because if not...they will eat all of your veggies.
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching ❤️
You are a hard working man Hollis. May jesus bless you always!❤
I appreciate that
❤❤
Mr Racoon can slip benief the walffle steel roofing , I've seen it happen, Very strong little bears they are.
Do like the plan if need shoot em .
Thanks for building "Your Wall" sir and trying to protect her chickens
Nice job, and so much love for your girls..I hope they laid some giant eggs for you.
I hope so too!
Hi. Are going to bottom fence the sides n front also? I would use a simple strand of hot wire all around the bottom n sides, run thru PVC at front door n chicken door. Maybe run hot wire along the bottom of fenced garden to keep bunnies n critters out of garden also. My dog is a bigger version of Bing Bing n color. He also follows me about when I am using the stick vacuum trying to protect me.. Great work Hollis !! Peace to you and yours
Thnx!!!
It has been a long, long Journey my Friends,,,,, But the END is in sight❗❗❗❗
TYFS Stay Safe and Well
Mark and Rosa
I can actually see light at the end of the tunnel now. Still have a couple of more big jobs but definitely getting there👍. I am so tired!
I love you guys! You should look into buying a mini excavator
Who needs a tamping tool when you have a Hollis to shimmy the ground ? ! We had a bear break down 2 sections of our 6 foot fence that surrounds our huge garden 2 nights ago during the night . Our chicken lot & house is on the other side of the garden, but thank THE LORD, it didn't bother them - yet . I guess the bear will be back when the watermelons get ripe !
My what a big honey do list
Can’t wait to meet the chickens. Is that soil good for planting? Looks almost like beach sand.
I swear the secret to the crabby paddy is in that note book.....
Hello Hollis and Nancy. I have a question on this particular video. Looks awesome just curious does the automatic chicken door have a feature that sense is if the chicken is standing in the way will it stop or retract so it does not injure the chicken? Thanks!!
My dog barks at my yard tools also!!
❤❤❤🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am more scared of snakes coming for eggs😳
😀😀can you dance?😂😂
You are working with Mr. Shovel while I'm working hard with Mr. La-z-boy. Bing-Bing is trying to tell you to come and work with me for a while. I have lemonade and dog biscuits.
Oh no, not the dreaded shovel. My stenosing spine said no to Mr Shovel a long time ago!
Not my favorite tool in the shed
@@HollisNancysHomestead Shovels rank right up there with Paint Brushes, Splitting Mauls, Taxes, and Politicians. ALL, "Uncouth Agonies"
🤣🤣🤣
Oh what I'd give for that sand, my dirt is gumbo, the type you have to have a pick ax to start the digging.
I still think you need a subcompact tractor with a loader, backhoe and a blade at least. It would sure save your back and speed up your process. With your viewership, surely one of the tractor manufacturers would let you test one for a few years or cut you a deal. It's worked for other RUclipsrs!
We are saving up for it. Thanks
Hope you all are doing well! Got a question, when I cut the stems of the POTATO plants, how long before I can harvest the potatoes?
I cut off the tops and harvest on the same day
It doesn't it doesn't say to me that I'm unsubscribed I'll go in and check it again
It doesn’t get everyone. It appears an algorithm is purging subscribers that have not viewed any of the channel videos in 3 months or so. It’s heartbreaking.
For me that intro was a touch Slingblade for some reason
Can you all, put some of the wire on the inside around the floor so they can not get inside, BLESS you all are DURING a magnificent job God bless,
Hi! can I ask you something about farm land? Since I want to have my own farm land-- can you explain in video how start grown with basic ?
That chicken coop costs more than my house
Did you get your chickens yet?
R u going to do it all way round
Yes I did
please check the wire on the windows--I use to have chickens and coons broke the wire to the sturdy fence and kill all my chickens and they are strong and will break wire to windows..people don,t realize how mean coons are and how strong. God bless. PS==even a tiny hole a rat or mink can come through.
Great mind think alike. :-)
Hello Nancy 😉
Hello 😊
