Wow, I am so happy to hear none of the birds were injured with all that upheaval. Good reminder to plan for the worst and hope for the best!

@k.p.1139 10 месяцев назад

Morning! Right idea with the paracord, but there is a better way to anchor the coops. We have done this here in Florida and it works! You want to tie your cord at the base of the anchor, and then cross it over to the opposite side, making an X across the coop. So far, outs has made it though 2 hurricanes, and we only got 1 tear in the plastic and that was from a tree branch, not the wind. It's actually neat and yikes to watch the wind lift up the plastic, but the X holds it in place during the gusts. Ours is much bigger, so we have 3-X's across ours.

@mynutshellmail 10 месяцев назад

I copied his plan for the hoop coop some time back and anchored it with 4 T-posts. Using heavy duty cord, I tied it down across both ends adding the X pattern on top. Using the A(left) and B(right) for the front posts then C(l) and D(r) for the back posts, the tying pattern is A-B-C-D-A. So far, no problems, even though we have high winds often. 😊

Helpful tip. If you collect eggs in the evening, use a black light. They glow a bright redish pink color and are super easy to find.

@BooneeXCdad 10 месяцев назад

Consider using eye bolts at the base next to post. Attach the two with heavy gauge wire. The goal is to restrict all movement. Paracord has enough elasticity that it could allow for more potential energy effects.

Happy that none of the animals or birds were injured when their homes got destroyed. At least you were able to salvage some of the materials. I know you are going to be sad to see Tex move on to greener pastures, he has left you with some lovely calves. I hope his new owners realize what a prize he is.

About two months ago, here in Oklahoma, a quick freak storm picked up my hoop coop and sent it airborn into my neighbors yard and slammed it down flat. It happened at night and all of my 15 hens and 1 rooster was inside roosting. We only lost the rooster. We rebuilt the coop and tied down with ties we ordered from Amazon that are used to tie down trampolines. So far it has worked! Love watching ya'lls videos for several years now!

Surprised the animals weren’t blown away with the winds. Great hooking the hoop coups to the ground. Keep your fowl safe. The cows look great.

@dayneholt4149 10 месяцев назад

Kevin you may want to put Tex up for sale earlier rather than later. Once Tex finds a new home you can purchase a new Sire / bull. If any of the cows are open the new bull will figure that out, the heifers can be put back in with the herd to be serviced by the new bull. Also if Tex can see and smell the heifers he may push thru the barbed wire fence to try to service them. That male hormone drive is pretty strong. Best wishes. Blessings. 😊

@livingintoday06 10 месяцев назад

You know that same storm ripped through our property too. We are in the midlands of SC. My children were outside getting their afternoon chores done when that wind picked up. My 14 yr old daughter came in the house because she was afraid. I told her she could wait till the wind died down but she would probably get rained on. She decided to endure the wind instead of the rain. While she was out there she said a prayer to God asking him to help her with her fear. As soon as she ended her prayer she looked up and seen her slightly younger brother running to help her finish her chores❤ What a wonderful testimony. The storm did just come out of nowhere though. I am so thankful that I had prepared my animal shelters for the hurricane the prior week. I too was going to buy those ground anchors but I was afraid that my soil is too sandy and they would hold. So I put tpost in as well and then zip tied them to the coops. That wind didn't move them coops😊

Hi Sarah and Kevin! Happy to here that your place didn't take to much of a beating during that storm. The bottom in your quail hut must have kept it on the ground.

He looks about three times the size of your Jersey but she's still walking around unbroken! She looks great, too. I can't wait to see what that cross looks like. Whatever kind of grass you have surely agrees with bovines. Thank you for caring about the quality of life for your quail. They used to run from you and now it doesn't bother them when you're in the cage. Maybe you should change your name to Peaceful Valley Homestead. 😉
