The energized Archy. What a dog. I like how the other two just watch him. Those chicks are so cute. A coop built by Mike will be predator proof for sure. Good luck with the chickens. Slope is coming together very well. It would take a lot of force to break a tooth off the thumb. Hope Hunter and Eva are doing well. Stay safe.

@johnsadler8637 2 года назад

Good morning all! Another great morning on the screened porch watching OWTM. I guess it didn’t occur to me that breaking all the small limbs off was quicker than cutting them. Probably is only because the operator was a lot better than I am! That shot of the woodyard from up at Melissa’s post hole filling project was impressive. The drone shot showing a nearly empty firewood bin was a surprise! You must have an acre (probably not actually, but figuratively anyway) of IBC totes full of split wood! Levi’s been busy!

It’s great to see you don’t need your coats and it looked like a beautiful day, I am in love with your chicks, they are so cute, It looks like your confident on the tractor now, filling your holes, it’s great how you can do them kinda jobs while Mike doing other jobs, have a good day, love and hugs from UK Kath xxx ❤️

Mike, as part of your Bed and Breakfast project, for an extra fee offer a session running the excavator, tractors, etc. There are businesses that just offer that that are doing quite well. Just a thought.

@kerryjohnson2512 2 года назад

Hello Morgan's from Oregon. Raising chickens is fun and they grow so fast. Fresh eggs are always awesome! A couple of tidbits for raising chicks, if they aren't eating or drinking good, put shiney marbles in the water and food dish. They will peck at the marbles and end up getting water and food for their effort. They will need a heat lamp on the cold nights. Have fun, with your incredible operation there.

@keithburch5506 2 года назад

I can understand how that bothered you enough to go look at 9:00 at night, and the more i thought about it, yes they thought a finger on the thumb was missing because of the angle or something blocking their view. As you put your hand on the finger, the size and girth of that steel, man, for that to break off, surely you would feel that! How could you not? I honestly can't even think of a way to break one of those fingers. Anyway, glad that was a fluke. I really enjoyed watching you take the chestnut tree down. How nice that must feel, knowing the effort and aggravation of cutting a tree down and delimbing it w a saw, sitting on the comfortable seat in the cab of the excavator. Sweet! It was nice watching Melissa playing w Archie and filling the fence post holes. I think Archie is such a fun filled dog, he was just daring ya'll to try and take that stick from him! A very nice video today, thank you very much.👌🚜❤

@Gwalker0220 2 года назад

LOVE you got chickens back... We raise and sell, locally, what I consider to be the four best breeds. Bard rock, New Hampshire Red, Rhode Island Red, and black Australorps... Plus eight breeds of ducks.... Now you need Australorps... Black chickens keep birds of pray away. Motion lights work, and these red light things that look like eyes.... Im in Alaska we have everything fox, bears, wolves, and many others... so far we havent had any losses....

@keithbeynon3878 2 года назад

Maybe a nice weekend in western Pa? I have been watching your videos for years and I must say you have certainly come a far way in a short time, a true testament to hard work and dedication.

@damogranheart5521 2 года назад

A friend and I worked with her chickens. She had White Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds. The Reds were the sweetest things. And Mike is right about the Leghorns. Nastiest chickens that I Ever Saw! We had no problem sending those birds to freezer camp! The Reds were keepers!

@shawnfaith7701 2 года назад

Mike and Melissa. I have a huge outside run as well. I buried heavy 1/2” wire 12” down below ground and 12” outward so that any predators can’t dig under. And besides my big 20x16 metal roof cover, some netting overtop has deterred hawks as well. I haven’t lost any chickens to predators

@amishbuilt 2 года назад

Everything you own in the garage is going to be covered in magical chick dust!!! We just finished where you are now. I am about 5-weeks ahead of you. It took me & my wife 5hrs to clean and wipe down everything. We did 15 Rhode Island Reds chicks.

@jimmyg4057 2 года назад

Man.... Those Kubotas make short work of some otherwise lengthy clean up. Great video, thanks Mike & Melissa.

@tomolson6521 2 года назад

you mentioned in your discussion about the foxes and the Hawks, that last night you heard of Fox making a lot of racket outside your home. I'm sure you already know this but maybe have forgotten, this is the season for foxes to be making little foxes if you know what I mean and they make a tremendous amount of screeching and howling sounds when that is occurring. I'm not saying I know that is a fact that was what occurring at your home, but in our part of the country, middle Kansas, we hear that quite often during this season.

@LongBinh70 2 года назад

We are starting our 4th year with mixed-breed chickens. The wife's favorites are the Easter-eggers (blue eggs), and mine are the Marans, a giant tank of a chicken that lays dark chocolate colored eggs. I'm not a carpenter, so I way overbuilt the coop. Good thing, because two weeks after we put the 12-week pullets inside we had a cat1 tornado go right over the property. Despite $62K damage to the house, the coop escaped with no damage at all! Their run is made from 6' tall panels from three Tractor Supply dog kennels, and the run roof is galvanized steel. An 8000-volt electric fence surrounds everything. We have not lost a single chicken to a predator in the four years. That said, we have a terrible problem with tunnelling rats that are after the small bits of spilled feed. The buried hardware cloth around the perimeter of the run wasn't deep enough, and the rats tunnel right under it. They are smart, too. Traps only work for one or two, the rest learn and avoid the traps. War is hell...

@willieberry8030 2 года назад

Mike, have you thought about putting in yard lights down at the lumber yard? So when you get on Melissa's nerves, no matter the hour you can go down and have some fun. Blessings

Hey mike! A couple plastic owls will help keep hawks away. Or they are supposed to. Chickens are definitely easy prey for them. Have had chickens taken while I was only few yards away.

That row of holes may be an indication of an underground spring. Keep an eye in that area. My daughter had a similar incident in one of the 1st places she lived in as an adult. Only the spring started under her house.

The foxes will dig underneath the chicken fence. 1. Bury the fence, not a good option since the fence will corrode in the ground. 2. Run a strand of electrified wire around the fence close to the ground. 3. Lay wire mesh inside the fence.

We had twelve chickens several years ago. One would follow me around like a dog. A friend of mine was helping me put a new roof on the house. That hen wanted his lunch. He took his lunch up on the roof to get away from her. He ended up finishing his lunch sitting in his truck. We named her Penny after my wife's sister. John Harkness from Medina

Nice to see Melissa back on the channel. Much prettier than Mike. Be sure to bury hardware cloth from the wall to about 18 inches all the way around the perimeter to prevent those pesky foxes from digging under the run.

The cap wasn't secured and I almost broke my leg. So all the rocks and sandy dirt I had extra I dumped into that tank.
