- It all works together, but having bees has definitely helped our pastures grow so our livestock can eat! White clover is full of protein and fiber for our feathered friends, but it also provides a great source of pollen and nectar for our pollinators!

Your videos give me a sense of Peace and Serenity. Thank you for Sharing! 🙂
Three generations of wonderful women. Lovely to see all that knowledge and love being passed down. Thanks again!
Great Video 😊🤩💖🍂
You are living the life. Get you some goats & cattle too they can help your clover field to
I would very much love to have the land you have. Oh well. I was blessed with a nice property in suburb Ohio and I make the best of it. 2 colonies, 6 chickens, a big garden and a few blueberry and raspberry bushes. I love it
When we did our meat birds last year. Though I thoroughly enjoyed doing it ourselves. I was glad when it was over with. So we didn’t have to move the tractors every day. But some of the best tasting birds we’ve ever had.
I only have 3 hens, but I use poultry nipples for water. A sealed 5 gal bucket lasts weeks longer than a general 5 gal drinker. A huge bonus is the water never fouls.
You may already be aware of them, but... There are several different types; compression types that attach to the bottom of a suspended bucket and a slip style for PVC.
In tight places, like your tractor, the PVC version is great!
In a walk-in coop the compression type on the suspended bucket is a little more ideal.
I was lucky enough to teach students about poultry, health and behaviour was my subject. Lots of pluses to keeping birds on grass. In the UK one of the best crosses you can get as a homesteader is a Cornish bird with a breed called a Dorking. Dorking's have the best flavour of any poultry and are believed to be one of the oldest. Caesar wrote about a bird resembling the Dorking when he took over the UK for a while.
I can tell you really enjoy your farm ..
She always brings the heat on her videos 🥰🥰🥰
Awwww shucks 🌽
I really love that chicken tractor! What an awesome idea! I need to do that for my layers!
You’d want to incorporate some room to roost and layer boxes. Meat birds are babies, don’t need much room.
Agreed! 💛
If I was your mom or dad I would be so proud.
Love your MOM!
Love those chickentractors!

Have you considered taking an IBC tote and securing it with ratchet straps to a trailer. The put a hose bib on it if it doesn't already have one, cut some of the wire away with a grinder, and open the top up so you can fill it at least half-way with water. That way you can pull it out to the pasture and park it, putting a tarp over it all so the sun doesn't allow algae to grow. With a hose attached to the hose big, you can fill your meat chickens water without having to tote jugs back and for. When the chicken tractor gets far enough down the pasture, just hook on to the water wagon and move it up. Makes it easy to refill the IBC as well.
Yes!!! We were actually just planning this.
@@TheHoneystead I saw Al at Lumnah Acres do that a few weeks ago. It was brilliant! Work smarter, not harder.
@@TheHoneystead We do this -- highly recommended. Try to find one of the metal coated IBCs (they block the sun far better) with integrated valve and camlock fitting. We paint them and use a camlock coupler + inline stainless mesh filter before plumbing out the water line to the little waterer spigots
I am jealous of you. Everything is perfect.
She is always on point
Yep! Our dear Honeygirl is so cute, and smart and perfect that it's almost impossible to believe it's possible! The only regret I have is that I didn't meet her (or someone even close) about 20 years ago! My life would have been completely different, have I had a woman like her by my side. I'm not complaining, but still, I would have been much happier. So, I'm not ashamed to admit that I love this Honeygirl! 😊♥️♥️

@@LadysFarm , your videos are kinda nice too. Do you have bees?😊
😘😘😘
I would keep bee's on the property but this isn't my property for one & two my roommates husband is severely allergic one sting could kill him within 30 seconds. But when the Lord Jesus blesses me with my own homestead I'll definitely get into bee keeping ❤.
Love MMcM hatchery!! That is where i order all mine. 🤗😘😍🤩😉😉
That's a nice setup. I have raised the CornishX in the past, but they are kind of freaks, so I vowed not to do that again. They are just lazy, dirty and want to eat all the time. They will just lay on the ground with their head in the feeder eating. Full blood Cornish are a better meat bird to raise for me. They take longer to mature, and are somewhat bullyish to other chickens, but I actually prefer the more darkish meat.
I have ordered chicks from McMurray several times and will continue to do so. One problem though. I ordered 16 straight run Rhode Island Reds, and received 12 cockerels and 4 pullets. That's not a straight run. I would not recommend ordering a "straight run".
God bless you
Good 😁🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Do y’all do any supplemental feeding to them at all once you put them in that trailer or just grass alone?? I am able to do that exact same thing and was just curious at what the total cost would kinda be per pound of meat once it’s all done? Thanks a lot and I really enjoyed the video.
And I totally agree about keeping a few hives! We just harvested our honey this weekend and it’s awesome seeing what all they can help with.
love the dog

Grate video hun keep up the good work‼️‼️💜💜

@@TheHoneystead your very welcome hun!! I keep up with your videos an I’m so happy too see how far you an your family came!!!!
We use a similar tractor design, but I really like your wheel lift/lock. Where did you get it?
I guess you can call these free range chickens even if they don’t actually run free. Yes? No?
Actually keeping them alive and safe from predators…
Yes, I understand that part of it. But, when grocers advertise “free range” it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve been out running around freely. Not meant as criticism. Just for a understanding. .
I had the same question. This is the most humane set up I have ever seen. The question still remains.
How do you keep a fox, skunk or raccoon from digging under the tt frame at night? Shouldn’t you put 2x4 welded wire at the bottom?
🙌🏽🙌🏽
New to the channel. But the area your in, is that field owned by the power company who owns the power poles/lines?
Do the chickens get feed along with the greens and bugs?

What was the link to your chicken tractor build
Where did you get the wheel setup for your tractor?
ᴮᵉᵃᵘᵗⁱᶠᵘˡ
Do you Seed anything after moving? Clover?
earlyish ❤️
So I'm very curious, how many chickens did you have in that tractor? With the amount of pasture they were consuming I feel like you perhaps should have been moving them twice a day. Don't get me wrong, I love what you do on your homestead. But I believe that you were allowing to much time in a spot with that many birds. This is the reason I really like Justin Roads chickshaw and meatshaw. You can have lots of birds in the fenced in area with them spread out over a greater area thus lower impact in concentrated spaces. So really, please, how many birds did you have in the tractor. It would be a great help. Have a great day.
Call me stupid but I get it the bees love the clover but what the chickens chow on?
Simple one word answer, " EVERYTHING ". Didn't you notice all the grass and clover that had been eaten where the tractor had been.
When/how do you decide when to harvest the chickens?
Mainly by size! I prefer 5-6 lb chickens:)
Don't be get hands dirty
