I have been watching a few of your videos. Good stuff! Honestly, if i was you I would get meat rabbits. I have some myself in northern Quebec (think like Alaska weather). 2 does and a buck(a trio) would get you about 180lbs of meat yearly. In addition to this, The waste after processing is about 12 to 15lbs x 5 times a year. That can all be fed to chickens. Thats what I do. The other thing is that Btw this is 5 litters a year with a 6 week break during summer hot weather. A hanging hutch caged system would be perfect. No constant cleaning. No smell, no noise. Kids love them. Your cold weather isnt a problem. You can sell kits and the 💩 can be sold. Its by far the best menure and it doesn't need a menure pile. Fresh can go straight into your garde. I sell a 5 gallon pail 10 to 15$. With your garden, the scrap cuttings that chicken dont eat... well they love them. Feed would be 6 to 8 - 50lbs bags yearly. 25$ a bag at harbour freight. If you feed them only pellets. I cut that by half with stuff from garden. So yearly cost of meat is less then a buck per lbs. If you are interested. I can help with good YT ressources and breeds to choose.

Smart

Many have mentioned, really only good for 2-3 hens. Can be issues of quality of materials, and longevity. The issue I point out is additional predator proofing is needed. The board at the base of the nesting box needs screwing down, foxes etc, will get under and push it up. Also digging predators from the sides needs protection. Ultimately, convert a shed or maybe large playhouse to your needs. These little coops are expensive in the longer term (you will want more chickens), so do your research, and put that money into bigger and better.

Good Job. Kudos for being frugal.

why did you zoom in on your partner like that as you mentioned cougar lmao

I also recommend buying wire mesh bags to prevent predations from invaders like squirrels

Getting baby chicks for the first time in 10 years. It was so nice to have such a comprehensive refresher! One of the best put together videos I've seen! Thanks a lot!

I tried subscribing but was not allowed to.bummer

THERE IS NO AIR VENTILATION IN THATH THING GUY ... NO BUENO

How do you prevent the worms from escaping?

Wish my birds pooped twice as much. Coffee grounds for bedding in the coop. Scoop the poop often and take some grounds with it. Soak it well for a few minutes and straight into the soldier fly bin. Couple of weeks and its ready to use anywhere you want along with about 22 lbs of larva to feed the chickens. Circle of life brother. Don't waste it....

Thanks for sharing your chicken wisdom!

Hey Brandon, not sure if you remember me. Just wanted to say congrats on the channel growth! It's clear you've put a lot of work into things!!

how many chicken you have, and for how long since you saw expert?.

I've been watching your videos and wanting to know what your raised beds were made of/where you got them. So happy to have found this video! Thank you!

What do i do when I’ve finally got the pH dialed in but my ppm is way over what I need

My little pens love peppers. I also am my gardener. So I have had to pick off all the small peppers on my pepper plants before I put them in the ground because I need them to focus on vertical growth versus focusing the energy on the fruit. I have had to take them in and chop them up in the food processor just to make them small enough to keep them interested and they destroy it.. I also make homemade applesauce and I have so much that's going to go bad so I gave them the applesauce and they devoured that also..

Trash product. Not even a year in, and it's absolutely falling apart.

We Fed our chickens every thing and they know what to eat and leave. Simple as that .They naturally know!

Raised beds are horrible in a lot of ways. They don’t have advantages over ground planting, so why build a raised bed and spend all that extra money?

Thank you. Even the most well known "advance" type of youtube growers tend to skip over how in what quantities is needed to start off and im literally trying to plant my first basil plant in a hydroponic style. I was going to get the "dry nutrients" but honestly this stuff is wayy more cheaper. So I wanted to understand the ratio needed to begin growing them.

Bro on a scale to how white are you, calling bell peppers like actual peppers is crazy, they're "Sweet Peppers" which is also considered a berry. They also contain no capsaicin, which is why they're they're sweet peppers which is totally different than peppers with capsaicin. Calling them Peppers is like calling peppercorn peppers.

Awesome video !

I just realized I haven't gotten a notification from your channel in quite some time. I am not happy. RU-vid hijinx ( word substitution to be nice). Arrrrgggg. RU-vid sometimes gets under my skin.

Good video I think the commercial soil you could get that would be similar would be The blue Lambert seedling mix

Why don`t you talk a bit faster, useless.

I wash thinking they would prefer a 2x4 since they can rest more than just feet maybe some breast and full coverage over feet.

How soon can you add the deep litter method manure to the garden?

I prepare the fertilizer according to your recommendations and mix them in the same order, I do it in two gallon containers and therefore I have a question, after two days it becomes slightly cloudy, is this normal and will it not harm my plants?

So once you have created the solution. How do we know how much solution to give out plants? and how often?

Make sure to have proper ventilation the nitrogen in the chicken poo can build up and suffocate the chickens

Hi! I live in Utah and we just got baby chicks for the first time in mid April. Neither my husband or I have ever had chickens before, so we don’t have a clue to say the least! Your RU-vid videos have been so helpful! I’m wondering if you have information on mites and lice prevention? We haven’t had any yet, but I’d rather avoid it than treat it! 😆 Thanks in advance!

too expensive, i want to make free run veggie fed eggs as cheap as possible.

My chickens LOVE Bell Peppers in a veggie smoothie. They also go crazy for broccoli (calcium source), Tomatoes, Corn, Sesame Seeds. They go crazy for Spaghetti, but i don't believe flour is good for the chicken gut imo. So i give it to them as a rare treat because they think it's worms.

So a vivosun promo..

Yeah these have horrible reviews

So no fruit with seeds/pits, salty food, chocolate, dry or uncooked beans, processed foods, and bread, citrus food and meats in moderation.

I though this video, and the previous one, was going to make a coop out of a shed for cheap. You just got lucky and got a $1500 shed for $100. I can't find anything close to that, so this whole cheap coop thing won't work for 99% of the people.

Have you checked out the Gro-Rite raised bed system? It is basically equivalent but requires no tools to assemble!

Great video. Thanks!

So if you find a free and cheap $1000 shed. Because that's what that Suncoast costs. I have 3.

Thanks man, this is the idea for a door I had in my head for my diy coop I’m making with a run attached to the coop, to replace our other ones that are sadly getting old and rotting away and rats are getting in. You explained it perfectly and the pivot point makes it open perfectly now! I just used a really big fence staple instead of the eyelet and also used your idea of a screw to stop the door from falling out the top of your frame. Kudos to you brother such a simple but great idea.

There is this Chicken list I found, "The Ultimate list of what Chickens CAN and CANNOT eat", anybody can look this up if they want

I am terrified that they can eat their own eggs and that they can eat scrambled eggs never knew that I’m scared

Your audio is so over compressed and limited that it makes you sound like an angry bee trying to escape from a tin can inside a tin can. Go natural. Allow your voice to commune with nature. 🌳

When do I cut the Scapes?

Going around restaurants?

I have some pine boughs in a pile. was wondering if you can use those at the bottom? ive had neighbors remove a dead pine tree from their yard & nothing would grow for a long long time where they removed it & they told me b/c it was from pine...wasnt sure why. But wanted to check if pine boughs ok.

In my limited experience, it seems like you can skip putting them in the jar and just directly plant them in the ground. You don’t save any time either way, except for the plant will be more established in the garden this way.

So do you run this for like 30 minutes a day with the injector until it empties? I guess that would take a little bit of time to empty
