Man, yours is a life of give and take. First too much rain, then too much dry. First Hooray Black snakes, they eat other snakes, then booo black snakes, they eat eggs. The life on the farm
I almost had to stop watching there at the end. I do not like snakes. Creepy isn’t even the word for them. Love the vlog...still catching up on all the videos you guys have posted. They remind me of spending summers with my grandparents on their farm. They had a huge garden, fruit trees everywhere- nothing like a peach fresh off the tree, and my grandfather raised hogs every so often...they were huge! Those were some long, hot days in those garden rows, but so worth it when my grandmother would put the food from the land on the table for dinner. Continue to bring us the great content!
Im a new yorker who works in a supermarket and i wish i owned a farm for my family. im binging all your videos cause “farm life is best life” (in my opinion) love your family !! .Blessings to the farm ,your amazing kids and wife. #supermarketsaregross #greattransitions #watchingnow
Your land is looking wonderful. I am glad you left the snakes, as creepy as they are. I loved how you described catching that last one - I'm going to grab it and it will wrap itself. You lucked out on that!! I truly enjoy watching your videos when I get the chance, there is always something to learn. Thanks.
Thanks for realizing that black snakes are actually beneficial to us and just releasing them elsewhere. That was a HUGE snake, too!!! How do you plan to keep them out in the future?
May I suggest you all try watching Emily on her Snake Discovery RUclips channel. Her programs are very interesting and might help some of your disgust of snakes get calmed. Love what you do and watching your family work together. Your children are terrific!
When you bury a hose, or pipe or other kind of underground/undersurface infrastructure (I realize this is just a few inches down, but still) it's sometimes prudent to bury a locating wire along with it as a part of the infrastructure. That way, if in the future, you're planning an excavation, you can hook a radio transmitter to the wire and use a metal detector to locate your infrastructures - in order to avoid hitting them while you're digging. Using a device like this one (only an example) that buried wire will help you find your pipe or hose or whatever you've got down there: www.amazon.com/Armada-Technologies-Pro871C-Underground-Inductive/dp/B00WSPK4QU You have to leave one end of the wire sticking out of the ground in an obvious location for future use, that is where you will clamp the transmitter (of the locater) to. It turns the wire into an antenna, so that the detector/locator can "see" the wire under the ground. If you should happen to drive a location post into the ground where that wire sticks out, and paint it orange or yellow and wrap the free end of the wire around it, that might do the trick. Many of these detectors will work even when the wire is several feet underground (and with water or gas lines you should keep them a lot deeper than that hose). We used to use similar devices to locate gas lines and water lines, in the old days. Some of the pipes were five feet down. Hope this helps. Thanks for the content, keep up the good work. בס״ד
Crazy. They were full and moving slow. We had black snakes and king snakes. We made a snake stick. Using 7 ft shoemold and then put staples all the down but not flush against the wood. Then thread 12 foot (or more I can't remember) of coated wire (like electrical wire) and made a noose. Easy catch. My 12 year old son would catch one in backyard and then call me at work, "mama, I caught a snake what do I do with it?" I would say, "well we have 3 acres of woods..take it out to the woods somewhere." LOL.
Rather you than me. My husband said, just chop it's head off. He hates snakes. Nice length for a black, the one with eggs going down was funny. That's what you call "hoist by his own petard!". LOL I do hope you get your water lines sorted. I think you would enjoy a watering system. You would have to do it in zones, however, you could make each zone be on for specific times of the day. Ah well, it does get expensive when you first do it, but at least the way you are thinking of doing it should make it easier for you. Rosie swimming in the creek! LOL! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Wow getting water way out in the pasture will bring the heavy lifting of water to a halt. Those snakes were beautiful. Yeah they eat eggs and protect their territory from venomous snakes.
Perhaps you can get rid of the legs that keep it level and put in swivel legs. Then you can hitch from the rear and when parked swivel the legs down. You can probably even make it so the legs swivel together with a wood dowel or metal rod.
I had a long skinny black snake on my porch that wouldn't leave! Finally able to sweep it out with a broom after I had tired it out enough where it just coiled up into a ball and let me push it. It was snapping at the broom so I didn't dare pick it up! Use a trailer hitch and bumper receiver that you mount to a truck bumper, where you can remove the tongue after you move it.
I got you man thats what a Y stick is for. You place the Forked end over the neck at the base of the skull and press down and hold it then you place your thumb on the snakes head and wrap your fingers around its head. And you have them yep. Its called a Jerry stick
If you get another drain pipe, get the corrugated one with foam peanuts. You may not need gravel at all. That Yt guy from Apple Drains shows a lot easier ways of doing things☺️ And less expensive.
Watering is a challenge. 1st there is the "hardness" of water, even well water can test "hard" which makes deep soil penetration impossibly time consuming. The permaculture moto for water catchment: Slow, Sink, and Spread, either in a holding pond after a down-power or rain water catchment tank. You all are doing so many wonderful permaculture techniques; wouldn't want to add yet another project to your ever changing list of "Honey-Do's"
I know you have it already built but why dont you just put smaller guide wheels in place of the legs on your coops that way legs wont drag on the ground you can do it on both sides and it will be like the carts from Lowes where it teeters on the middle wheel but will push easily no matter which side you push from. Also would suggest making your ramp/door detachable by using hinges with long carter pins so if you happen to do any modifications later you can easily remove the door/ramp for whatever task you have and would be easy for the kids to detach it if needed
I subscribe to Living Traditions and they have rather large gardens they use a woven garden fabric on their rows and the drip tape on top of that and love it. no weeds and healthy plants. My neighbors up the street are being overrun with black snakes this year. They did kill them and got 6 so far.
Such beautiful cornsnakes! I'm a bit upset seeing them handled so improperly (And that's nowhere near a 7ft snake XD) but I'm relieved you don't kill them even if they do occasionally go after eggs. Their worth in pest control is so much worth the times they might get harvest
The Dirtpatcheaven lady says you don’t water anything you are not going to eat you will figure it out thank king snakes also eat other snakes and are immune to rattlesnake venom if. You can please relocate far far away❤️😻😻
Jonah’s face just glows when he gets Justin’s approval. 💚💙
"His long snakey body" 🤣🤣🤣 you Sir are very brave!
"Papa that's insane!" Haha, love it!
Man, yours is a life of give and take. First too much rain, then too much dry. First Hooray Black snakes, they eat other snakes, then booo black snakes, they eat eggs.
The life on the farm
Wow! I don't usually watch scary movies. That was some tension inducing music you found. Great editing.
Thank you so much!

Snakes have their place... away from me... LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I want a lifestyle just like this. I dream of this
Your puppy is just the cutest little guy. It was hilarious watching him getting in on all you did.
Oh now you gotta take that goose to the pretty place every so often as a treat.
Ohhh your goose loves the water,she also has found safety from something!
Im a new yorker who works in a supermarket and i wish i owned a farm for my family. im binging all your videos cause “farm life is best life” (in my opinion) love your family !! .Blessings to the farm ,your amazing kids and wife.

Time for a snake hook or tongs? And well done on the manual extraction! I guess the eggs were your rent payment to the snakes for recent pest control?
Whoa!! That snake was HUGE!!!! Love the reactions! Brave guys!!
Your land is looking wonderful. I am glad you left the snakes, as creepy as they are. I loved how you described catching that last one - I'm going to grab it and it will wrap itself. You lucked out on that!! I truly enjoy watching your videos when I get the chance, there is always something to learn. Thanks.
LOL. Unfortunately I spoke from experience.
Thanks for realizing that black snakes are actually beneficial to us and just releasing them elsewhere. That was a HUGE snake, too!!! How do you plan to keep them out in the future?
A better coop.
May I suggest you all try watching Emily on her Snake Discovery RUclips channel. Her programs are very interesting and might help some of your disgust of snakes get calmed. Love what you do and watching your family work together. Your children are terrific!
Such a beautiful snake. I've got a pet one but she's only half the size of that one. Well done for moving them and not hurting them 😄
For sure. They certainly have a great role to play on the farm.
I’ve hauled 5 snakes from the coup so far this year. 3 in one week. At least they are easy to relocate when they are full of eggs. 🙄

you should make a snake stick just nail a dole on one end and loop over the nail
Wow getting water way out in the pasture will bring the heavy lifting of water to a halt.

Yeah they eat eggs and protect their territory from venomous snakes.
Father n son snake extractions ..... Bonding
Good Camera work too....
Perhaps you can get rid of the legs that keep it level and put in swivel legs. Then you can hitch from the rear and when parked swivel the legs down. You can probably even make it so the legs swivel together with a wood dowel or metal rod.

It was snapping at the broom so I didn't dare pick it up! Use a trailer hitch and bumper receiver that you mount to a truck bumper, where you can remove the tongue after you move it.
Creepy yes. But they will eat all your mice and rats!
I love your homestead
I would move my wheels to the front and move the single bar out the back for your hitch.
Oh those snakes freaked me out! You're so brave! 😰
I got you man thats what a Y stick is for. You place the Forked end over the neck at the base of the skull and press down and hold it then you place your thumb on the snakes head and wrap your fingers around its head. And you have them yep. Its called a Jerry stick
Projects never end, maybe when you retire, then the kids could maintain everything for mom and dad.
Eeeeeeek, those snakes were too much!!! Don't know what I will ever do if I see one with my chickens. Touching snakes isn't am option for me!
That's nuts! Glad you got it resolved safely.
Thanks for the warning about the snakes! I just can’t handle anything about snakes.
Justin, I love your sandals. Where did you get them?
Earthrunners. Thanks.
If you get another drain pipe, get the corrugated one with foam peanuts. You may not need gravel at all. That Yt guy from Apple Drains shows a lot easier ways of doing things☺️ And less expensive.
Nope, I would not catch that! Great job.
Good job family. Yes working together.
How about putting the door/ramp in the back. Or better, pull it from behind. Thank you for you videos.
With the hitch idea make a removable hitch with using two pins through the boards
Hey Justin, put your tow bar on the opposite side of the pull bar or handle bar.
That won't work the legs would drag.
Those rat snakes are good to have around the farm. They eat lots of mice and other snakes. Too bad they have a taste for your eggs.
“His snakie body” 😂😂😂
Whoooooeee! Whatta day on the farm! Way to keep your cool as best you could with the snakes. They like farm fresh C-Monster eggs, too.
Yes, we lost 9 chicks once to a single snake!
Woo cool... it's the end of mating season right now for the snakes... probably have 6 to 30 babies come end of August...
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Nice.
Mr. what happen to those black snake ?
did you let them just go ?
where that place could be ?
Yes, we let them go.
What kinda snake is that? I love your videos! I might be starting my own farm and I look up to you guys a lot!
Black snake.
Watering is a challenge. 1st there is the "hardness" of water, even well water can test "hard" which makes deep soil penetration impossibly time consuming. The permaculture moto for water catchment: Slow, Sink, and Spread, either in a holding pond after a down-power or rain water catchment tank.
You all are doing so many wonderful permaculture techniques; wouldn't want to add yet another project to your ever changing list of "Honey-Do's"
Sounds like you might need a flat trailer to haul the chickens, wood chips, etc around the farm with Sally.
19:50 when snakes appear
that type of snake is known to travel in pairs
You guys are brave I would not do that lol
It's 4:30am in India n I'm watching your video.
I know you have it already built but why dont you just put smaller guide wheels in place of the legs on your coops that way legs wont drag on the ground you can do it on both sides and it will be like the carts from Lowes where it teeters on the middle wheel but will push easily no matter which side you push from.

Creepy is right. I hate snakes. But I am glad you were brave enough to deal with it.
19:30 snakes
Sprinkler better for the microbes. They need water too
Didn't know that, thanks.
Someone had been eating our eggs too. We haven’t caught any rats.... makes me think... 🐍🐍🐍? Yikes that thing is huge 😦😱😫
Did the snake maybe killed the turkey ?
do you sell the turkey feeder you are using in this episode? the black one?
Gah!! The snake was so cool! Way to go getting it out of the coop!
Love your videos
anyone know what type of snakes these are?
We just found out something ate all of our duck eggs! We think it might be a snake.
Want he just return to the eggs. My wife wudda had a heart attack if she knew it was still somewhere on the property. 😭
So what do you do about the snake problem?
what kind of snakes were they? are they venomous?
i hope they don't eat any thing else on the farm, stay safe
I subscribe to Living Traditions and they have rather large gardens they use a woven garden fabric on their rows and the drip tape on top of that and love it. no weeds and healthy plants. My neighbors up the street are being overrun with black snakes this year. They did kill them and got 6 so far.
Good for them.
Aw heck Justin l couldn’t watch it, but l’m worried about the kids. I know you got this! 👍👍😎😎💯💯
Raise the wheels?
Such beautiful cornsnakes! I'm a bit upset seeing them handled so improperly (And that's nowhere near a 7ft snake XD) but I'm relieved you don't kill them even if they do occasionally go after eggs. Their worth in pest control is so much worth the times they might get harvest
Just getting stuff done over here. Won't do everything perfect but I can tell you this... "Everyday in every way, we're getting better."
Scary ! 😳
I would be terrified😬
That snake was the creepiest thing ever.
Think of how a drop hitch for a car works might work to get it around the ramp
No. I might need to do the opposite. Raise the ball.
OH... that snake. *shivers* I had to chase off an Eastern Kingsnake last week.
Hey guys
You could try snake repellents
No, we like snake. They're good for eating mice
Danger noodle!!!!
Eeeek!
love the vlogs
Try putting 4 wheels with 2 brakes
Oh the snake is just going to make babies and they all are going to come back.🐉
We'll soon have a better coop.
Now you need a higher bathtub to wash Ted. Maybe outdoors. ☺️
First!! And thank you for the upload. ❤😘I love your channel and learn so much. Were those snakes poisonous?
Wow that’s crazy that there are snakes
Hi
The Dirtpatcheaven lady says you don’t water anything you are not going to eat you will figure it out thank king snakes also eat other snakes and are immune to rattlesnake venom if. You can please relocate far far away❤️😻😻
Question, why keep the white goose inside? And why can’t the white goose roam free? No criticism just need to learn. Is that maybe a swan?
It's a guard goose.
Good eating
I cannot do snakes , no way, uh uh eeeeeek
Gross! And yes SCARY!
awesome! :)
That snake actually inst venomous
Oh you are so brave!! I am terrified of snakes. Definitely would have needed gloves and that after I had knocked it unconscious with a shovel.
Hey first as is how you doing guys are you going to get donkeys

I know every creature has a purpose, but man do I hate snakes. King snakes get a pass because they eat the worst ones.
