Nice...they are shaded from the hot sun...protected from preditors...and given fresh clean areas to find food.. .and stay clean by being pulled away from their own droppings each day. Great idea.!!!
I’m 70 I miss my grandpa and grandma. He told me stories about growing up on the farm and Leshara Nebraska. He said we ate good on the farm. Funny when I was a kid I remember seeing the obituaries. Everybody was born in the 1800s wow! I knew my great grandpa briefly he was born in the 1860s, when you think about it this country hasn’t been around that many generations.
@@geraldcroft9020i live in a third world country here in our village our great grandma had a hen under our house, me an my brother didn't knew any better so we cracked them one by ine but my brother wont let me crack the egg so i cried and told my great granndma complaining that my brother wont let me cracked them. Me thinking that she would scold my brother for not letting me crack the eggs, my great grandma was so furious , she said you say what, what have you done, and she run down and check her hen eggs and all of them broken, she whopped our asses that evening lol.... my grandma and mother still used to tell others that stories 😅😅😅 good memories
The best part of chicken raising. Hearing all those happy sounds, watching them work and when they find a big juicy bug 🐛 watching them chase each other. We call it chicken football. 🐔 ❤ The fresh eggs are just a bonus.
we keep ours in the back of the garden where we have fruit trees and raspberries, they keep the bug population down and the grass low and they fertilise the area, eggs are indeed just a bonus
@@Lilman3000 the cat brought a small bird to the house, I wasn't used yet, so I threw it under the hedge, they found it and ate it, I'm not sure if it's a safe thing with diseases and such, for that I guess throwing them a mouse that the cat brought in is less risky?
@@smallfootprint2961 Ending up on a plate isn't so bad after a lifetime of being protected by predators, the weather, free medical, constant food, etc. It's not like the chickens didn't receive care in return.
@@smallfootprint2961circle of life. I'm a vegetarian but when they get old isn't it better they get used? I want bugs and such to eat me when I die...
@@andreybushev3020yes overnight. Coyotes will work quickly and chickens are basically in a coma at night and don’t put up a fight. Predator lights can help though.
You are very right Sur I also loved to listen their voice at my granny's country side. If it so satisfieing the human's psycho and influencing so positively at humans psycho science mode, maybe It seems to me ,that psycho-medicine can get notice it process for more deeper investigating, to make further humans psycho healthness better?

@dogwoodhomestead for a youtuber and farmer, you're kind of dumb, shortsighted, and dismissive, imo. Why not a false floor that is netting which would move up when rolling to new areas and drop down to allow foraging when rested. Hell, I bet you could train the chickens to move into a compartment even when time to move just out of excitement for getting a new feed area. Too bad I may be giving an a-hole youtuber good ideas for a legit business concept, lol.
@@dogwoodhomesteadwhat if you made it extremely close to the ground or heavy so that there is no chance of a chicken getting run over only pushed by the wall??? That could technically work correct????

Ideally, these birds are moved over future garden space. The chicken manure helps produce excellent vegetables. Each season, rotate where to have the chickens forage.
That's just a bonus. The real advantage is you keep the coop moving instead of it being a stationary nasty smelly chicken poop filled chicken coop you've got to maintain. That it fertilizes the land and provides fresh bugs for the birds is the bonus for keeping it moving! win-win
@user-dl7jq1ck1p I love this style of chicken tractor. Much lighter and you can walk in. If you use small 1/2" or 1/4" hardware cloth, weasels will only get in if they can get under the rail. We put boards down on the edge of the ground if it was uneven. If weasles are a big threat, make the bottom row of cloth extend 6" out. You may have to weigh the edge down. Your pasture will greatly improve from their manure. John Suscovich’s Innovative Chicken Tractor
DogwoodHomestead i have a question to ask you about the bird's the chickens 🐔 which land do you have them on and what type of bird's chickens are they hi 👋 from 🇨🇦 much respect back to you i follow you 💯 so i could learn and understand more about Regentive land management.
These are our egg layers, Cinnamon Queen is the breed. We move their tractor everyday to help improve their health and our land. Our birds are never on the same spot more than once a year.
@@dogwoodhomestead this breed is for laying eggs 🥚 and for meat 🍖, Thank you kindly for responding back to me 🇨🇦 much appreciated 🙏 Domenico Monteleone where are your Pigs 🐖 that you also raise !!
@@АннаСмоленская-у1ъ. Ну ладно. У него территория позволяет, простор. А бывает, что участок малый, птиц много. И из-за нехватки корма они до корней дойдут. Результат ? Однажды соседи тоже очень много держали... , около тысячи (+ -). Там не только траву , от малины ничего не осталось. Одни палки торчали. Зрелище такое, как -будто смерч прошел.
Какое чудо!И кушают зелень сами и убирать за ними не надо.Сразу удобрение для почвы! С Новым годом Вас!Всех благ и мирного неба для всех людей на Земле!
@@caseycamachoperez7774 chickens don't eat grass dumbs**. They scratch the grass up by the roots. Update. I was wrong. I raised Banty chickens among others and I never knew they eat grass. I just became informed.
Evil little bastards.. people find some things cute , anthropomorphic traits.. But they'rapist murderers, the lot bullies etc.. what most animals are just mindless predators
They sound so happy at moving time. Something no adult has ever been excited about. As a matter of fact you can find out who your real friends are about how many people show up at your door when you are moving. It's always a far smaller number and you ever imagined.
>It's always a far smaller number and you ever imagined. The amount of friends i have is a far smaller number than you can imagine, the amount of my friends that show up if i ask for help is therefore far greater than you can imagine.

@@Lotusblume.8 I opted to get a new one because the fact that they're going to stop building these very soon. And I wanted an extremely powerful V8 because they are smooth and nearly bulletproof. The same goes for the 6 speed automatic it has.
THERE IS ANOTHER VIDEO WITH ONE OF THESE MOVABLE CHICKEN COOPS BUT HIS HAS RETRACTABLE WHEELS. I WOULD MORE LIKELY TO USE ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE I'M LAZY
I saw the same idea a long time ago with wheels that had a handle up front and possibly the back to tilt it so wheels would touch the ground a bit making it easier to pull. Hope you come across the video on RU-vid.
@@roberthite966 One thing about roaming feee is that hungry falcons, hawks, foxes, coyotes, and bobcats think their delicious.... some folks have other predators.
Homer, you do what you do so well. I'll always be on your team and pray for your success in converting the world into Paradise just as it was intended. Amen.
I think it was Norway, they gave two chickens to every household for free. Every month that cut down on 150 tons of food scraps that went to the dumpsters. It's a sound and sane source of sanity for any society and culture. And walk barefoot on the Earth as often as possible. Amen
@@dogwoodhomestead how many chickens please???? I just ordered 20 grown RI reds. 8x8 tractor big enough???? My Mother is going to kill me. Pray hard for me. Many grand blessings everyone everywhere.
@@MissBetsyLu government standards are 4sq ft per bird. It will work until they get a bit older. I like to have 5.5-6 square ft per bird if I move them daily
@@dogwoodhomestead I did a bad thing!!!! I just ordered 20 full grown RI reds!!!!! Do you think it will work for 8 wks til butchered??? Blessings everyone everywhere
Chickens can quickly clear vegetation and with this number easily in one day. They are eager to get to the bugs. You can tell the grass is not dense so this can definitely be one day's worth of movement and clearing.

@@MissBetsyLu oh shit i see now, Blessing to you from the Most High Source God, maybe a hand powered crank that when you spin the gears it walks the chicken home forwards, but idk i would have to make prototypes lol i think it would need steering, Much Love
All these chicken experts here, obviously NEVER had chickens. They are not just for eating, and producing eggs, but are used as tools around the farm. Bug, and rodent control etc. Keeping them in this cage allows them to exist without predatory danger, and allows the farmer to keep them where he wants.
I've raised over 500 chickens over the last decade. Never had an issue letting them roam free, besides a coyote here and there. 12 gauge fixes that. Sticking them in a damn cage ain't right. Let em pick the corn outta the cowshit, eat the bugs out of the tomatoes, and find their own grubs. You just sound like one of them damned new age farmers with nothing better to do than fuck your fist and grow organic weed
