Great ideas in here. Love the trailer instead of using crates. We've had some birds get injured in those if they have to stay in for much time at all, even if we don't put many in there. Appreciate your work and farming methods. Lots of similarities in what we are doing. Keep up the good work! Chuck from Sheraton Park Farms.
I'm a new viewer who is thrilled with your videos. Question about the DIY projects (such as the dolly for the broiler shed), does a small farm need a small welding machine to make/fix your tools or do you use brazing mostly?
You should be ashamed , Your Employee 🤔😲,She work all the time ,She's Amazing," Hey Hillary 😍Make Him Take You Out, Something You'd Really Like To Do 😊💖, Like Watching You ,2 Together 😇🇮🇱🎶💖
I truly enjoy all your video's. This one in particular. Thank you. I live in a area of Michigan with weather very similar to yours. Although you do get more snow, ha ha. A 68 acre farm is in my future next spring if all goes well. So you are all the more appreciated to me.
Thanks for the quality information Pete! We raise 100 broilers a year and would like to do more. We live in BC Canada so we can get some chilly weather and we would like to find a way to raise them earlier than June, these tips might help thanks!
HOle in corner of pasture cages with a gate on it, hole in corner of trailer, ramp with sides on it leading into trailer... voila, hands free chicken moving of the butcher sized chickens.
Hey guys is there anyway you can elaborate on the gutters you use for your broiler feeders I can't seem to find a commercial gutter that looks like yours Thanks Ryan
Very much appreciated AS ALWAYS Your Videos R The UPPER Knowledge Thanks Pete and All involved With Your Life I can't believe what I been missing in Life
What size of plywood do you use when rounding up the chickens in your salatin pens ( the big and small pieces)? That was brilliant, and your sizing seemed perfect! Was hoping maybe you could take some of the guess work out! Thank you!!
Love the idea of the 1x3s instead of the 2x4s. We made one similar to Justin Rhodes' meat shaw, but it's a little bulky to maneuver and difficult when all the birds are under it. Thanks for the tips!
Would a small door in the stake side and a box tunnel/ramp on your chicken wagon make unloading the chickens into their pen, instead of pulling them out one by one?
Hey Pete really appreciate all your videos. Keep the Dad jokes coming! Question about predators: I had a fox get into my chicken tractor the first night. So I surrounded the chicken tractor with electric poultry netting from premiere 1. I've been doing this for 2 weeks now and its killing me to move the tractor and re do the fence every day. Any suggestions? I couldn't imagine doing this with 5 tractors going...
grandad used to use something similar to your chicken pasture houses when we keep meat chickens for the family and a few of the local farms he just had an old 70s lawn mower tractor with custom, tin metal over the engine to keep the rain (He never put it away from spring to fall) out that he hooked to the chicken house which he built it with a 2x8 board bottom to make a sled to pull the house. it worked great other than having to use brake cleaner to start the mower but that was age and neglect
This question is about your Dexter cows, do they produce prime meat? How would you grade them for taste and tenderness. I know you raise them because they are small and manageable but what about got eating?

Thanks Chuck!
thank you! extremely informative.
I love all the heating fittings you don't keep it up big environment I haven't been the hens myself 😃👍🚜
Hello pete, can you show the butcher shed? I would like to see your setup. Thanks
love watching this

Good info thanks
Take care of them chickens get them peepers happy
Have you ever experienced your birds having red in their manure. Not sure if it’s blood or what it is. Otherwise all seem healthy and active.
You should be ashamed , Your Employee 🤔😲,She work all the time ,She's Amazing," Hey Hillary 😍Make Him Take You Out, Something You'd Really Like To Do 😊💖, Like Watching You ,2 Together 😇🇮🇱🎶💖
Atta boy, make the wife do the heavy lifting
Hope you're paying your employee enough.
Ha ha!
You are such a creative person Pete. Loved the wagon so clever
Hi Pete. I added skis near the handle to mine. Reduces drag and keep the handle much cleaner. I’ll send you a photo on instagram.
Hi Pete do you have any chicken butchering videos thanks
why don't you use water nipples I would like your take on it, thanks Bert
You have a good hard working employee. 😊
Hello Peter! Have you ever had any respiratory issues with your broilers or layers?
I’ve got chickens coming In a few weeks. I will be studying this video. Thanks for the information.
Give employee a raise
some praise
and a couple of days OFF
You guys are great
she isn't YOUR employee she is your BOSS lol

Good, common sense ideas! Thank you
I hope at the end of your days that you give each other a big hug. Use dryer sheets to keep mice and squirrels out of the 656.
Thanks for the quality information Pete! We raise 100 broilers a year and would like to do more. We live in BC Canada so we can get some chilly weather and we would like to find a way to raise them earlier than June, these tips might help thanks!
Could use an old trampoline frame welded or bolted together. Remove the cover and springs. Cover with mesh and tin.
👍
This was very helpful! We are just getting started.
Quick question why can’t the meat chickens just go in a fenced area like the layer hens? Love the videos 👍🏻
Nice to see your wife! Thanks for the great information Indiana
HOle in corner of pasture cages with a gate on it, hole in corner of trailer, ramp with sides on it leading into trailer... voila, hands free chicken moving of the butcher sized chickens.
Thank you! I'm saving this as well. Just got chicks for eggs, but may do meat chickens in the future. : )
QUESTION keeping your bruder in that greenhouse what is the outside temperature and or date you put them out there and do you use heat lamps?
Can you tell me what gutter you buy for your feed troughs, where to source it, and how big 5'? Thanks
Hey guys is there anyway you can elaborate on the gutters you use for your broiler feeders I can't seem to find a commercial gutter that looks like yours
Thanks
Ryan
Where did you get your chicken drinkers from and what make love the videos they inspirer me
Why did the farmer chase his chickens across the road?
He wanted to see poultry in motion.
Very much appreciated AS ALWAYS Your Videos R The UPPER Knowledge Thanks Pete and All involved With Your Life I can't believe what I been missing in Life
I am curious as to why you use the bins for the broilers instead of the trailer coup you use for the layers
Pasture poultry profit! Another tongue twister.
It looks like you have it down to a science to handle the birds.
That Chick moving wagon though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smart thinking
Make them taller..more sun light available
Excellent video - thanks!
excellent ideas. I am downloading this video for future references. Good to see your beautiful wife in the video also.
Thanks Bernie!
How many week does ur broiler take mature?
What kind of drinkers did you say you use?
To have known this years ago
amazing video, thank you
How much do you sell theme for?
Walk to see your process shed
very nice vlog.😀
👍

I’m sure you make our Heavenly Father proud!!!..there not much left to say after that !!!may God continue to bless!!!
Thank you
Pete
Your videos are awesome as always!
Awesome information!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Also, im so excited! I got your book in the mail today! Cant wait to read it!
Love your inventions Mr. Pete! "Employee"...that's the best joke you've ever told!😂🤣
Love it
Idol
Pete and Hillary, you both are awesome. I watch and enjoy you daily. Joe Johnson Concord Nh
👍
Y'all are just awesome! Thanks for all the great info!
Would a small door in the stake side and a box tunnel/ramp on your chicken wagon make unloading the chickens into their pen, instead of pulling them out one by one?
Great tips, pity I didn't watch this 3 months ago. I will certainly employ many of your ideas. Thanks for sharing!

I was curious about those boxes and the lever design.. Thanks for explaining and sharing!
Great detailed video, the methods you use really minimizes the amount of work. I'm on 3.5 acres, i would love to raise meat chickens on a small scale.
Thank you! It's not hard to get started with them and 3.5 acres is plenty of space.
Hi Pete!
How many acres total you have pasture&woods .you doing great job with your farming
From Pete Westchester ny
This is a good substitute for those in your age group or with 'Structural' problems (lol) and those who don't have a lot of cash.
Awesome! Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome Paul!

I love your channel! I hope our little homestead can inspire folks like yours does.
Love the channel, im watching all your videos. Thank you for taking the time
Love your videos. I have just recently found this channel and all your information is great!
Very informative! It’s a joy to watch your videos!
Good stuff! Keep these videos rolling bro!
Great ideas buddy....so envious of your farm.
I just want to let you know your videos are great keep them coming!!
Very awesome, Pete. Thank you!
We called the plunger a false endgate.Neighbor had one for ear corn.
Great simple ingenious ideas! The designer in you is shinning through. 😊 Thanks for sharing.
How many meat birds do you produce a year doing this ?
Great ideas. Thank you so much ❣️
To lighten the cage, cross-wire bracing?
So yall do your own butchering as well?
Great stuff thanks for showing us around
Love your "chicken scraper!"
Great tips for better birds Pete.🧡👍🐓
i like the humor in your vidios
Why not turn it into a sled? So you can ditch the trolley. 2x3s flat with 45 degree edges probably work.
A sled is awful tough to drag through tall grass.
Very helpful.
Your channel is fantastic... I'm in Australia and have used heaps of your ideas. Keep up the great work...
Hi Wayne, thanks so much!
This question is about your Dexter cows, do they produce prime meat? How would you grade them for taste and tenderness. I know you raise them because they are small and manageable but what about got eating?
Hi Darren, check out this video ruclips.net/video/PtVE68-24iU/видео.html. I've never tasted beef better than Dexter beef.
very cool.
Plunger is great
The board on top of the feeder should be screwed on loose so when the chicken jumps on it it rolls over and the chicken falls off
We tried that when I built the first feeders. We called it “the chicken flipper.” It doesn’t stop them from roosting on it.
Thanks, this definitely helps!
Nice set-up!
