-------------------------------------------
Hi I'm Brian with Next Level Homestead. If this is your first time here... welcome! I'm glad you're here! If you're a longtime friend, welcome back!!
For most of my life I was a city boy, gardening in the suburbs. I was the first generation in my family to not grow up on a farm and somehow it was still there inside me. So now my wife Emilie, son Noah and I have moved to a small farm (at least it will be) and we're documenting our journey on this channel. Building gardens and chicken coops, buying a dairy cow and who knows what else lies in store. But we can't wait to take you with us!

Bucket training lambs is so easy and simple. You will find it is the only way to move sheep or lambs without a trained dog. Please don't work so hard you make yourself sick. Self care is the first step to making a homestead that is enjoyable and sustainable. Thanks for all your great videos!

@yvonneellefson 4 месяца назад

Hey Brian, that area under the cottage will be an attractive rodent habitat once you have it closed up but with some gaps. I know you are planning on spray foam or similar but that is easily bypassed if they have the will (which rats do!) I couldn't tell if you were putting hardware cloth behind but I would recommend it. Even a quarter inch gap a few inches long, (basically a space you can roll/slide a pencil through) can fit a mouse.

@guntravis9092 4 месяца назад

I tried the wire mesh under the lawn approach a few years ago. I thought I was outsmarting the gophers. Never thought I'd battle wits with a rodent, but that's the life of a farmer. Turns out the gophers still burrow a lot under the wire and eat the roots of the lawn from just under the mesh. Now I'm left with large swaths of lawn that are browned out and struggling since it's nearly impossible for me to remedy the burrows without cutting out the mesh. Luckily wife is now letting me convert the lawn in to a garden.

@davinasquirrel7672 4 месяца назад

Mysterious chicken death - could have been undetected egg-binding (or pasty butt if that is visible). Chickens being prey animals hide illness very well, and it usually only becomes visible right near the end, so hard to detect issues in time. For possible egg-binding, you may have found a mass underneath before the vent. I spend more time with my birds, so I tend to pick up behaviour changes to alert me (unfortunately I have a 6yo hen showing signs that her time is probably coming soon, current alpha, so it will be interesting to see the pecking order change).

@andrewhammill6148 4 месяца назад

Suggestion on Daisy's pen gate: Purchase another latch that matches the one already on there. On the opposite side of the current latch, open the gate all the way and attach the gravity latch. This way, you don't have to use a 2 x 4 to hold the door open. You can either chuck the other half of the latch or save it as a replacement, (But you'll never find it 2 years from now, so chuck it). Sorry about the chicken.

@AlmostaGreenAcre-zs5eu 4 месяца назад

Looking good. I have a suggestion for where you have used spray foam under the eaves. Pick up 1/8 " piece of plywood and that will take whatever shape you'd like. Because rodents can chew through spray foam you may want to do some parging to fill the gaps. Most big box stores sell the premix in bags and you just add water and apply with a trowel.

@lyndiyj1104 4 месяца назад

Thank you for doing this video in addition to the one that came out yesterday. Whenever you’ve had a long absence from RU-vid I start to worry, so it looks like you’re making up for it.

@Feribrat99 4 месяца назад

Bucket works really good for all of the critters you have so use it widely. Just do not try an empty bucket but one time or you will lose their trust that the bucket really has anything in it. They are smart. Good work with the rose too. I have my roses I love. ramblers and climbers are wonderful and the bush ones have the best smell sometimes.

I'm sure the "moos" and "baas" are music to your ears. Also, I really like the challenge from Noah's school. I wish more children (and even some adults 🤭) would be willing to take on that challenge. Go Noah!

Which will take up to a year to recover. I get to take your ideas to a different home and plan next year's garden 😊❤ Your videos are so amazing and helpful, thank you ❤❤
