3 to 4 chickens is more than enough for a couple. We started out with 3 for a family of 4; 2 adults and 2 small children... we were still giving eggs to friends during the time our hens were laying at their peak.. I’m really impressed at the stonelayer’s skill.. those walls are going up nice!

My grandfather had a gravel truck business, so I grew up riding along, that's the first time I saw a a bed dump sideways! On the metal mesh ie building fabric, when you unroll it, flip it over and step on it, helps flatten and it won't roll back up.

One tip, put the water in the cement mixer first then add the lime and sand mix. Makes life easier, It stops it all sticking to the drum so much ;-)

@arturjcrebelo3275 4 года назад

I do think they dont using cement. They using in Portuguese (Cal Hidráulica), Secil is a very know brand of cement but they produce everything, Cal hidráulica is a "dust/powder" that come from limestone or magmatic rocks and they burn that dust at 900ºC (a lot lower temperature than cement). At 200 years ago when they build this kind of houses they use only clay/argil/loam(?) and nothing more, but this "Cal" can be a lot better. That's why they prepare the "Cal Hidráulica" different from normal cement. The blue/gray paper bag is the normal cement, that white/orange is "Cal Hidráulica" at 21:47

Artur João Costa Rebelo it’s a small predator. Replace with any indigenous predator. They weigh about ~10# or ~3kg. To much in size. But more than able to take on a chicken or 2.

@andywilliment581 4 года назад

Hi guys, the barn is coming on great. Train your chickens with a rattle can. Put a few stone on an old tin/can. Every time you go to feed/ water them, rattle the can a few times. That way once they are out foraging all you have to do is rattle the can and they’ll come to you.

Heat may be a problem. I spoiled mine with a Ryobi Fan. It was rechargeable and on low ran all day. In addition I had a small solar fan in each nest box, order from Amazon. They were confined during the day with a hour of free ranging while I could supervise. We had many hocks to contend with.
