It is phenomenal how much you have improved your farm since moving in. The difference in your pastures is proof your land management is working. Awesome family and you're building a very productive farm. Thanks to Mike for being a good man and a good neighbor. 🤗❣️
Jason, Lorraine might be the planner and organizer, but you are the inventor and builder. Everyone has different gifts!
And that's the Team 👍
I love how you include Lorraine and Miss P, in your videos, showing their cooking. Ben does the same..love that the channels are about family not just farm stuff.
Jason, don't beat yourself up because you didn't meet the dead line you set...look how many rainy days you had, where you couldn't do the fencing project. It was a wet winter in NC. Thanks again to Mike for his help and knowledge of the newer insulators. This is sure to save time over the life of the fence. Thanks for sharing. Y'all have a Blessed day.
enjoy your videos, i’ll be 80 years old in July & still garden in raised beds from zone 7 (East Tennessee) you have a great family. God’s blessings on your family and homestead.
It is truly amazing the amount that you have accomplished this winter. I admire your ability to persevere.
That sound does something to me, too. We went downtown for something, maybe a movie, and on the way home, my daddy had to stop by Acme Farm Supply that night, to buy something for our yard: probably grass seed or fertilizer. I was two or maybe three. We went in the store, and my mama and I walked around in the front, while my dad went to the back of the store, to find what he was looking for. In the middle of the floor, I saw a short table, as stores tend to have, about the size of a card table, but not as tall. It had short sides, like a little fence above the table top, and a bright light hanging over it. As I got closer, the light got brighter, and I heard the peeps, and when I got to the edge...a whole bunch of adorable, yellow baby chickens, brightly-lit, running around, having fun! Whenever I hear that beautiful sound, or see some, I remember that night, and I'd love to have some to raise, at least once!
God is so good to send you the help you need. Thanks Mike for helping out!
Bless friends like “Mike” indeed‼️
We're big fans, but I have to tell you what just happened. Woke up to a low water pressure shower. Then I remembered your video, replaced the filter and I was back in business.
Thanks for your entertaining and informative content.
I just saved you weeks of confusion and $$ 😅 right on!!
You did an amazing amount of work. When you set the goal you did not have the experience to judge how much time it really takes. Doing it right saves time going forward. Very nice video thank you.
I love watching your videos! You guys are good people. I like having Mike on the videos, he's got wisdom and is a good friend to help you out✌👍👍
Too bad about the couple of wood posts you forgot to put in when you had Ben's tractor. Those H braces look great. It's so fun to watch you get your chicks and set-up for them. It is nice that you have enough brooders now that you don't have to build anymore Jason. They sound so fun chirping all the time. I always love that. They look very healthy. It was great to see Lorraine counting them and helping get them set-up. Thanks Mike for coming back to help Jason with the fence! Yum, dinner of meatloaf with bacon and mashed potatoes! That looks delicious Lorraine! Thanks for this video Contreras family!
What wonderful neighbours you have.
Fantastic progress & thanks, Mike, for lending a hand & your knowledge! We all learn from these. Sweet chicks that look so cuddly! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
you are so fortunate to deal with great neighbours friends like your California buddy and his tractor lol and great father in law and true friend like Mike to short cut your learning and offer a great help and 4xtra set of hands.
We are now up to 72 birds and are looking to move to 100 this year and I’m glad to see we aren’t the only ones getting excited with new chicks each time!
Jason's, there are so many openings below your feet ground, on the top of the, inside that predators skunk eat 😮your chickens coop
Hopefully they come out all 👍 ❤❤❤
Wow! Mike is awesome Jason! What a good friend he is.
So glad you have Mike to help with the tedious fence work. Meatloaf and potatoes . Where are the green and yellow vegetables for a balanced meal.?
This may be a dumb question but here goes. You know within a couple of days when the chicks are coming, why not have brooder all prepped, food water ECT. so as soon as the boxes arrive they can be put into a warmer safer place.??
Not a dumb question at all. Seems like the logical thing to do BUT it's because I film and I wanted to show it in this video rather than a video from last week. Filming yourself isn't very practical sometimes. Lol 🙃
Jason thanks for giving us Mikes site-what a great friend
Using the marked stick as a pattern is a great idea...71 and still I'm learning!
I love seeing the baby chicks. Looking forward to seeing the new little piggies!
6 years is pretty good for plastic, the extreme weather changes from really hot to really cold does a number on them, they become brittle and then they break. Love the videos!
I love seeing our California corporate couple now after all this time. Bravo to you three!!God Bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
I enjoy watching you all thank you for sharing 😊
From the Bruder to the freezer. I like the way you’re doing the fence. God bless.
Tell Mike "hello for us.
In woodworking, we call that "measurement stick" a "story stick." I've used one a ton of times and they can really be helpful, particularly for repetitive actions. Everything is looking good there, Jason!
You can also track when you found each dead chick, if you can identify why you felt the chick died, etc.... so you need a notes section with that chart for the chicks, or maybe you already do.
I think it's helpful though to track the birds from arrival or hatching to when it was butchered/died so you can identify any trends.
The more money you put into a homestead the more it's like a business and the more you need to track data. Just one of those things.
It is a lot of work and you did a tremendous amount of work! You will et it done! Blessings!
Love seeing those little fluffy yellow chicks 💛
There’s just something relaxing about your videos it’s just great American homesteading life
thank ya kindly
I always look forward to your teaching, family vlogs.
Chicks are look so soft and cuddly. Thank you MIKE, you're a TRUE
BLESSING & A GOOD FRIEND.
JASON & LORRAINE YOU'RE A FABULOUS TEAM. BOTH HAVE MANY GREAT TALENTS & BLEND SO WELL TOGETHER. YOU ACCOMPLISHE
MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU .
SE MICHIGAN
I laught so much on FRIDAY SHOPTALK.
Each one gets better!!!
Fantastic! More fence! And chicks are sure sign of full freezer! Thanks for sharing!
I can feel the excitement. Thanks for sharing the juggling and love seeing the process of stringing the wire even though I will never use the system for my personality I enjoy understanding what I am seeing when passing farms, etc. Kudos to you and Thanks Mike for your help ;-)
Congratulations on the addition. Cornish Cross grows fast, but there are few eggs, around 150 a year. A meat breed. Today I have also a novelty on the farm, a rare breed of layer hen, the Croatian gooseberry Kukmica.
raising cornish is cruel due to the miserable life they live.
@@ardenpeters4386 everything in the world is relative, the cruelty here is very conditional
Um next time please give warning labels!!!! My kitten went crazy hearing all the lil chicks!!! 😂 😆 thanks carry on!
Great neighbor. You're doing fantastic on the fence Jason. Before you know it, you'll be done with that major job, and herding cows/steer/sheep? Looking forward to following your progress. God bless you all.
Another amazing episode. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you Mike for helping. Thanks for sharing
So much to learn again just doing fencing , Nice job guys, Chicks look good,
Chicks are so adorable! 💜🦋
What are ya carrying on about Jason - Mike is driving in the RIGHT side.......... for a lot of the world!! eg here in Australia.........
LOL
If you don’t run into issues you aren’t doing it right!! Great work!!
Those chicks are the cutest!
Fence is looking mighty good. Hard to believe we are back to Spring already...Thanks for sharing.
Hoping to get some new layer chicks this Friday Yippy! I will be cleaning my little brooder box, feeder, light etc. tomorrow. The little cheepers live in our living room till time to go outside. With my housecat who is always interested in them.
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 May The Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your friend Mike for his help!!!😊
So exciting to see the ongoing developments !
I'd come work for Lorraine's cooking too!
Your friend Mike seems like he knows his stuff AND he's a hottie. :)
those babies were cold at the end, huddled to close together
Really enjoy your videos and actually picked a few tips along the way ,, every day is a school day
Keep up the good work ❤
Good work and it does go faster with Mike. 😊
Yay! Chicks!
when the chicks huddle close together under the heat means the heat should be lowered to give them room to move to get water or food . good video
Love the new babies!
Behind every man is a smart woman
i was going to mention a story board ..so im glad Mike thought of it for you ...
😂 Jason, i thought of your lil truck today❤ I work in insurance and a fellow called for a quote for a vehicle he had shipped from Japan.
Hi Lorraine waters for young chickens I put rocks in the bottom of the troths one to keep water level up and keep chicks from getting in and not being able to get out.
The larger the gate is the more it will want to drag and sag. Just a thought.
That fence is great!
very active little things!
That stick you marked the wire height with would be called a story pole.
22:00 minutes of the video: chickens, fence, high tunnel, bigger animals coming, and don't forget gutters on the big barn.
This coming winter, you're going to need to look over all your scrap to see what types of chicken tractors, hog huts, garden tee-pees, and the like you can build to barter for some fence building help.
BTW- A simple garden tee pee begins with 3 or 5 tall 1"×2"'s. Line them up on top of each other and drill a hole through all of them at once about 1" from one end. Slip a bolt through the hole and all the 1"x2" and secure with a nut; wing nuts have an advantage. Spread the legs out and tighten the nut. For winter storage lunevup all the 1"×2"'s and tighten the nut enough to keep them lined up. Optionally, put angles on the on the loose ends of the 1"x2"'s to dig into the dirt a bit. Optionally stake the legs into the ground as needed in high wind areas. Optiinally, use ztraight-ish branches instead of 1"×2"'s. Use light weight fencing or chicken wire and zip ties around the outside edge for things like peas and beans to climb. Or, string around the outside edge (do a full wrap around each 1"×2") of the tee pee every 4"-6" of vertical height. Optionally run some vertical lines of string; wrap tje vertical string fully around the horizontal string at each intersection. For us here, I like 5 1"×2"'s, leave an opening between two 1"x2"'s, then plant peas on the inside edge of the tee-pee about 2" apart. When its time to plant. Eans, plant beans inbetween each pea on the outside. In the space under the tee pee, scatter sow a salad mix that can be cut with scissors. The beans can add some time to the peas. The beans and dying peas can often provide enough shade and cooler temps for salad all summer long; or at least long into the summer.
My son works for Delta and we will come home and tell me chickens, and other animals came off the plane
🤩
as your plastic ones break, maybe consider upgrading to the tin water font’s they’ll last a lifetime and not to expensive of an upgrade
Chicken tenders😅 love it
Think the chicks were a bit cold 🥶🐥
i love seeing baby chicks hugsssss
Hi Jason, found your podcast channel and really enjoy the discussion with Ben from the Hollers, All from lumner Acres (?) and yourself. I would thoroughly recommend.
I've been watching it from day one! I love it. I had been subscribed to the Hollars already but after watching the first podcast I also subscribed to Al's
New Chicks !!!! Yeah !!!
It’s life and fun guys 😊❤
Love seeing those baby chicks!! Keep up the hard work Jason! You are doing great! Looks like you will be juggling but that’s what homesteading is all about isn’t it? Yup Juggle juggle juggle! Bacon bacon bacon!!!! Do you feed errr pay Mike in Bacon? 😂🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦
I hear that tell tale squeak that says you need some Vaseline on the gasket on the waterer.
Have always called a pre-marked measuring stick a "rod". Can't remember why. T'is a good idea whatever ye call it. 🙂
8:00 but you do have years of video to look back on to get the stats going back a while. A fun little job for those cold winter nights at the end of the year. 😀
Easter chicks 🐥 🐥 cute . Safe travels to Iowa. 🕊
No No bigger gates are always better than to small.
Oh my so loud but cute
We call your "stick" the "story pole"
It would be cool if you guys tried meat rabbits. See what the yield and cost deference is between the two. Funny enough, I saw an article that said that the best animal to raise for meat is actually a python snake. Apparently they don't take a lot to feed them and they just drink the water condensation from their scales. That is crazy to start a snake farm, lol.
Hi Jason Loraine
Awe babies are so adorable
Thank you Mike for helping Jason out
Fence is looking great guys
Mike's measuring stick is called a "story pole" by the pros :)
All i hear with the chicks is me me me me me🎉
Good luck with your chickens. ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I think they call those sticks. Story sticks
When you opened the box of chicken tenders I said "holy cow they are huge for new chicks" then you said they're Cornish Cross and it made sense. Good luck with the newest youngins!
It's called making the farm/ business pay. Applying basic business principles, which means looking at how you organise your time. Don't put off cleaning up after the chickens migrate to a bigger holding pen so that you can grab clean and functional drinker and feeding containers without having scratch around cleaning and discovering negative associated things 'after the event.' It's great to get that fencing done.
It looks so good all the fencing and all you can see all the work you have done !
Chicken tenders 😂. Thanks, Mike, for helping. I bet dinner was delicious.
Don't think tedium; think joy, joy, joy. Working happy, you work quicker.
I learned recently not to judge by my achievement, but by my effort. You have put in consistent effort, and accomplished much. Yes, you still have boxes to tick, but consistent continued effort will get it done. Good job.
lighting tractors take the abuse a whole lot better than that little truck and does a whole lot more!!
So many forgotten spots! Oh no! I love how you guys pick up chicks from the POST OFFICE! Woah! Are they very hungry when you get them (I know you said they are fine overnight, but I still wonder since they have teeny bodies)??
I appreciate you sharing the reality of the progress. Wishing you all the best!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
omg, they are so cute and so healthy looking. Have bought chicks from McMurray years ago and will do so again once our chicken house has been upgraded.
