- We place some poultry netting over our chicken run to keep our chickens safe from aerial predators. We have had a horned owl and a falcon try to attack our rooster and this will keep him and all the chickens safe.
Thanks for watching.

We are building a cabin in southeast Alaska. It’s an off grid cabin on an island near Juneau. We are towards making a homestead out here and becoming more sustainable through frugal living, hunting, fishing and gardening. Alaska homesteading is more than just words is a way of life. So if you are interested in moving to Alaska or the off grid life click the subscribe button and join us here at My Alaska Dream, where we show what it's like homesteading for beginners.
Living in Alaska is great, come with us and enjoy the experience.

I love watching your videos, the care you give your chickens is wonderful. If I were younger out of my mind I would have loved to do what you did, yes even in Alaska. Stay healthy & safe and God bless you.
We do love our chickens😂.
That’s why I retired early, we wanted to make the most of our time.
Your homestead is beautiful!!! How fun!!
Thank you.
So cool you can call that raven in. You not joking on it being windy. Gunner like chicken poop. LOL. Got to love that Chinese made stuff. Good job done on the netting. Fingers crossed it will keep the bad critters out. Stay safe and have a great week my friends!
Oh Gunner m, his farts always stinks. He’s either eating chicken poop or something dead.😆
Hope you guys have a great week too.
Nothing like living with the wildlife.😊 That netting should do the trick. Glad to see rocky doing better. Have a great weekend you two.
Yeah we hope so too. It’s more durable and has larger openings. Should shed the snow a little better. Can’t get enough of the wildlife, better than TV.
Hope you have a great weekend to Ron.
i didn't know you could talk raven. yet another talent...
Multitalented 😂
I missed your last two videos. A lot going on. You guys made that net installation look easy. I thought that was going to be a tough one. Nice work! Good to see Rocky getting back to normal.
Rocky is doing better.
Put two fluid ounces of apple cider per gallon of water for 6 days a week throughout the molting season and watch their feathers come out long beautiful and strong and it helps relieve the pain of their feathers coming out and their new feathers become shiny too.
You guys and your chickens 😂❤️😂 Have any of the jays got caught in the net yet? I know SLA has a lot of good luck with it as far as keeping their chickens safe.
Anything else going on on the homestead? Maybe we can get a mid week update or even a wood stove Wednesday? 👍
Thanks for sharing. Have a great week
Maybe next week we can get two videos going. There is a lot going on but I forgot to film half of it so no video👎.
I get rushed because the sun is setting at three now and doesn’t come up until after 8.
Oh!! Awesome raven calling. I love my crows that way. They are so interesting to watch & listen too. They are warning buddies of mine. A call for humans coming, bear, etc. They do know & recognize the bad guys! Also the good. I love them. Good seeing you both.
It is nice having a relationship with nature. I love it.
Glad to see everything is going well for you. Nice to see Diana with her feather babies. Stay safe.
Oh she’s in her happy place. 😂
You certainly give those chickens top notch care! It was nice seeing that the Mrs is still there. Hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I can only assume things are good with Grandma Jo, as we continue to pray for her full recovery.
Are you just draping the net over the 2x4s or are you attaching them somehow?
Yeah we zip tie the net to the fence. We recently replaced the net but we placed plastic containers over the top of the 2x4s before we put the net on. We are hoping it will cause less fraying.
Wow, I did nit realize the snow melted that fast there...lol...Alaska, don't like the weather wait 15 minutes...it will change hahhahaha
Salute Sean
Yeah it can come and go pretty fast here. Hope all is well with you guys.
We actually have snow.....finally hahahah
Thanks to the two of you for the great idea of lifting the net.
You are more than welcome. Thanks for watching.
very cool hug .
Hi Roger 👋
@@AnAlaskaHomestead Hi Hug You Two :)
Get some metal electrical conduit and run it across the top of your risers to help support your netting , this will help keep the netting from sagging around the edges
Good idea. I was thinking of pvc. That might work.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead PVC has a Tennessee to sag and get brittle due to extreme weather changes and exposure to the sun
You 2 work so great together. Great job for the chick's safety. Hope you had a Great Thanksgiving and stay safe and warm.
Thanks Charles, after 20 plus years we have a good grove going.
Those ravens are dangerous birds, I see what they do to baby cows, good idea with the netting, have a good week guys.
We’ve seen some headless crows laying around. I love em though, very smart birds.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead .The ravens are just watching and learning...get ready for the " I told you so "....lol
Glad Rocky is doing well. We have to protect our chickens from Hawks. There's a lot of them.
Also glad it's warming up to 40?😬🥶😆
Ha yeah 40s is almost tshirt weather. 😂
Chickens look like they’re safe now!! We had an owl try to scoop our baby chihuahua. Amazing how strong and sharp there claws are!!
Yeah that are fast, silent and deadly
Always in awe of your views. Have you notice yet any difference with the bubble foil? Glad Rocky seems to getting around good. Prayers for Grandma Jo. Blessings to all. 🙂🇺🇸🙏
The floors are still cool but not fridged. Once we skirt it and insulate that it should be a lot warmer. All baby steps.
Yes we are so glad Rocky is doing so much better.
Good deed B! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thanks buddy.
how well do your chickens go through alaskan winters
Rocky the roosters comb got frostbite but other than that everyone did great.
Solid netting there, next snowfall it’ll not be that difficult to shovel / brush off the snow. Btw, those chicks got the most wonderful scenery views! Many would pay for it!
They have beachfront property 😂
Watching Now . Wishing you the best . Howie
Thank you
Ravens are coolest "birbs"!
If I ever have the pleasure of visiting you I can teach you how to sound exactly like a raven, but with a Scandinavian accent, since they sound a bit different.
Rockys leg appear to have healed up just fine. Good job!
Ravens are super cool. I love watching that couple play around.
Rocky is doing a lot better.
Love it man👍
Thanks Hank.
Love the netting, will it survive cold snowy icy Alaska winters? You two and your chickens!! Love how you care for them.
I sure hope it survives. I think it will.
We do love our chickens.
That netting should help keep the girls relaxed. Nice work. 👍
Thanks Roger.
When you cut the top extra parts off the 4x4 post of the coop a while back, I was like, Ohhh you are going to wish you had left that extra part on top! I had to put two layers of netting on top of a ring neck pheasant run because owls and red tail hawks would catch them through the netting when the pheasants would freak out and fly into the net. Owls were worst, they would pull and partially eat em then drop em and get another one to spook and catch em so easily too! Three feet or more the better of spread between the nets worked best because they flex so much and the owls were so good at catching em.
Ha yup hind sight is 20/20. We had a hawk problem at the beginning of spring but they seem to have moved on after the temps warmed up. Gunner is a great guard dog for the chickens. If he’s inside and hears something messing with the chickens he lets us no right away. Even though Rocket the rooster is a pain in the butt he’s also saved the entire flock from a bear and other predators.
Awesome Rocky the rooster
Always something to do on a Homestead. I did notice Rocky us doing better with his leg.
There really is. Yeah Rocky is doing a lot better.
You do excellent videos, have you thought about a wind break for the girls?
Not the big area. Just the little inside run has wood up to keep them out of the wind.
I've heard ravens will bring you gifts if you feed them. Don't know if it's true. Chicken coop looks great as it always does. Hope you guys had a fabulous Thanksgiving. :)
I heard the same thing. We haven’t received any gifts yet. Maybe one day. Thanks for watching Susan.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead might be tough for them to find sparkly things around the island. I've heard that's what they like to bring.
Topical Southeast weather the snow is gone but can clear up and the North/Taku wind can start. When I was going back to Juneau and back to Oklahoma seen it raining up there and snowing here. The seine web try Seattle marine the fishing gear supplies in Sitka. I hope your mother in law is doing ok
Ha that’s the truth, here one min gone the next.
I only did netting in the Winter a few times in central Alaska....The snow always weighted it down..and -30 on down if it moved would snap it...good luck...
Getting meat birds 🐦..I just don't see any chicken killing going on in the future at your place..lol....but if you do..try Cornish X's..for 8 -10 weeks...I use to do about 600 a year..raising from 50 to hundred at a time...for a local butcher in North Pole..always go white on meat birds..they are bred for easy butchering...once you eat a chicken you raised..you won't be able to eat store bought chicken again..it is that good.
You should try doing chukars and wild turkeys..they are a lot of fun..and guinea fowl and pheasants...
Really great pets are geese they will follow you around all day...just make sure you get the right breed for your life style.
Also if you don't want to winter birds...you can get flying mallard ducks and Canadian geese..
😂maybe not. We want Buff Orrington chickens. They are dual purpose. We will see has things go. Hope all is good with you Brett.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead lol..dual purpose..is polite way to say heavy stewing hen..yuck.
Cornish X's..eat , drink and shit and are happy with that.....Cornish X's give you the excuse to butcher earily before any one gets feeling for them..because they aren't bred to live long and their weight will give them leg problems the longer you feed them...
If you could butcher one of your hens tomorrow..then your good and don't listen to my advice...but if you want good guilt-free food
...then you might think about it a little more...or not..lol..either way I have my popcorn out..waiting..lol
Much love from POW..tell Grandmother she is in my
prayers..100%.
@@redwood9741 good point. We will discuss it with the Mrs.
I’ll let grandma Jo know.
Awesome !

Living with Peace ❤
Not first today😢
Have a great week
Well done . We lost 7 chickens this year and a larger chicken run is best . Peace out fellow earthlings
Sorry to here that. This should do the trick for us. All the best.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead We had 25 chick 18 made it . The to you and yours
Your chickens have better views to look at than most people. We throw out the eggs that go bad and the crows and ravens carry them away. So we find egg shells all over the place.
Nice 👍
I was just going to go on your channel and binge watch and found "all channels starting from the beginning" but unfortunately, they start at the end...can you please try to fix this? They playlist is not very good if it goes backwards ❤️
No it wouldn’t be good that way. Click on the playlist and go to the sort button. Then you can sort it from oldest to newest. For me to switch it I need to be on a computer and I don’t have enough signal to use my phone as a hot spot. I’ll try to fix it next time we are in town.
Thanks for letting me know.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead the sort button only works from the regular video section. It doest work that way on the playlist
@@AnAlaskaHomestead hmmmmm...maybe I just figured it out 😂😂😂 Sorry...let me see
Yeah. No. It doesn't work that way on the.playlist. The whole reason for the playlist is for the viewer to start on the first video, hit play and they go on and on from the first to the next. When I hit the sort button, it took me to season 1 episode 18...🤷
Sorry it must be frustrating. I’ll try fixing it.
We fed the ravens on the property and now they run hawks and eagles away
👍 nice
Something you might want to do..my chickens also get all my meat and vegetable scraps..
ruclips.net/video/tZQ_jWFrzWk/видео.html
And for your selves are you making any sour dough ?..my pancakes are testing out at around 6.4 - 6.9 percent alcohol..so I wait 2 hours after breakfast to use heavy equipment..lol..safety first..
Because of where we live you can make sour dough starter just by mixing flour with water and leaving in a glass bowl on your kitchen counter..or just throw some yeast in it..
Then just feed it with some sugar...it is just like having a pet but you can eat it..
Like a pet but you can eat it😂
We have an old sour dough start from Lulu’s folks.
Good tip on soaking the feed.
I know where the most expensive chickens on the planet reside...
😂you know it 🤣😆
