Thanks for sharing! We loved raising our own pork and meat birds for the first time last year! There was a big learning curve but I feel like we are way more prepared this year!
You’re telling me! We learned so many things.....from ALL of our mistakes! 🤣🤣
Hi.... Thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
This is so much easier then when we were trying to do this in our bathroom.🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE IT!! You both are great. Those turkeys are beautiful in the picture. I'm excited for when you get you cow!! Your farm is doing amazing for when you first pulled your home in. Major progress! Love it! Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen
We took that first step last year, it was definitely the most nerve-racking but rewarding! It inspired us so much that we’re planning on moving to a bigger property this summer
Yay!!!!! Congrats!!
We got our layers from Ideal as well! And LOVED them.
We'd definitely buy chickens from you(for meat). Always watching from North Texas
I've never had rabbit, but I've watched how to butcher, seen the joel salatin rabbit tractors, even if I didn't wanna eat in the end, I don't think I'd ever need a lawn mower, would be awesome to see you guys demonstrate your rabbit tractors for ppl and use them to help build your soil around your property
This was an amazing video! Truly incredible! We started out with 4 ducks, and now currently have 15 ducks, 13 chickens, 13 rabbits (+3 pregnant does)
3 lambs, 3 pigs, a calf, 2 goslings, and a Turkey 🦃
Oh my goodness! How awesome is that?! And thanks for being cool and staying to chat in the comments. We sooooo appreciate this growing community of folks who encourage each other! Way to go on that growth!!
@@BetterTogetherLife Of course! I love talking to you all and showing support 🥰 it's cool watching you guys achieve your goals and watching dreams come true! Stay awesome ❤️😎
I am really excited to see how your homestead progress, keep up the great work 👍
How EXCITING!!! I love following your journey!
Truly a dream unfolding. Thanks for sharing. And the tips. One day I'll have a homestead.
It is so true, a dream coming to life. THANK YOU!!!!
Write down your dreams on paper and tape them to your bathroom mirror, and with the power of God watch the dreams come true!!!
You very welcome
Oh, I'd be SO happy to bring you a nice doe (or 3 or 4 and/or a nice buck) baby and a thousand Mulberry cuttings! Mine did great in the freeze and I'm hearing from a lot of people that they all came back fine. :) Moringa seedlings might be in order as well... of course. I'm not even sure mine survived, but that's okay. This almost never happens, right?? :D We will rebuild!
Good idea and nice job 👏👏😊
Our first batch of Cornish cross are coming May 17th! 🎉
Also, I love your Gray flock! It’s so pretty!
I'm so glad you let me know I'm not the only one to have chickens in my bathroom (at night). The hubby didn't realize they grow so fast. He thought he had more time to build the coop etc. 😆😆😘
I’ve never raised my own turkeys but I did help a friend on processing day and I will say it’s basically like a giant chicken, nothing to be nervous of if you’ve already processed chickens
Ok good, we will see NEXT WEEK!!!! 😬
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any help you can give me
@Preston Ledger Instablaster ;)
@Luke Beckham Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Luke Beckham it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
VERY helpful info. I'm just a few months from making MY move from a cabin on 1/4 ac with restrictive HOA to 20 ac parcel with well and no HOA. This is the stuff I'm trying to learn before I make the move.
I tried turkeys last year. I’m not in a rush to do it again. The 3 turkeys I had ate (or dumped on the ground) twice as much feed as my 12 laying hens. They were tasty but I figured I could have bought a couple dozen frozen turkeys for the money invested.
Oh man! I hope this goes a little better. Thanks for sharing that!
Hooray for surprises. Great job y'all.
Oh yea!!!!!! Hahaha, so glad you saw this! “The surprise” is doing GRRRRRRRREAT!
We are in the process of trying to start our own SUBURBAN homestead! We have backyard chickens and are in the process of buying an acre of land to move a mobile home to! Once we do that we will be able to start raising more animals and farming! Our city limits don’t allow for multiple types of farm animals so once we get out of the limits we can be more sustainable!
Congratulations! That’s so exciting 🎉
Love your videos something good in this screwed up world
Well thank you so much Brent, that means a lot to us!
Later in my life I will be home steadying and having a cricket farm is really nice for fried crickets and other delicacies, doesn't require as much feed and room.
Wow that is awesome!
@Jayme Janelle I mean not my favorite/Top 10 choices. But makes a good snack.
@Jayme Janelle Yeah! It's definitely worth while.
Love you guys
It's a giant leap for folks that are not used to or wont suffer inconvenience. I find that inconvenience is the biggest hold up for people.
Know that Turkeys make a huge mess and I wouldn't house them in the same coop as your chickens. I raised them and lost more than I did chicks. Some breeds do better than others. We used diatomaceous earth and apple cider vinegar to keep our turkeys healthy.
Check out turkey blankets or clocks from native indains
Get a bee hive , so you can have honey they can collect honey all around the property 🐝 🐝 🐝
10’year plan... we think. I’m so thankful we have met a bunch of bee keepers here and have learned just how much care goes in tj bees. So maybe!
That baby turkey was like "uhmmm excuse me...s-sir... s-sir.... I would like down ple.......oooooh pets!" 😹😹😹
Hmm, there were no turkeys in this video
Ah I see...oops🙃..is that Gray bird she was holding a breed of chicken? I guess I got confused because she had shown a picture of the blue slate turkey and I thought that was a baby blue slate...what breed is it? Such a beautiful bird😸
This will be (I think) our 4th year raising turkeys and they really aren't that different from chicknes. When we were first researching people said the chicks were super fradgile and you loose lotsa and need to do all these special things, but all the turkey chicks we've had were no different that chicken babies.
Where did you get your table for processing with the drains? NEED! Looks soooooo useful!
Honestly, I would recommend just a plain ole stainless steel table. We borrowed this one and it was too complicated for its own good.
Good luck
Where can I get those wheels? (The ones used to move the chicken tractor)
Chicklifts.com 😁
Please tell them Better Together Life sent you!
I wanna see u raise fishes sir. Any fish would be great to watch
Where did you get the wheels for the chickens tractors?

Please tell them Better Together Life sent you!
Thanks I searched earlier videos and went looking..
What’s the Facebook group called? There are a few groups and I’d like this one . Thanks!

Raising franken chicks by the batch is fine but keeps us 100% reliant on the machine for each batch of chicks and all the industrial food they gobble up. For real food security we need to be raising heritage meat breeds or real dual purpose heritage birds that can forage and reproduce. Then we have the genetics we control and food that comes from the land and not a bag.
You are NOT wrong! Just taking those baby steps. 😁👍🏻
@@BetterTogetherLife That's the way to go, you guys are great.
Check out the book the naturalists notebook by Nathaniel t. Wheelwright and Brenda heinrich
You could also breed them
The meat birds would be tough to do. But the egg layers... absolutely!
I was talking about the turkeys I raise that breed of turkeys
Can you give me the hatchery link please and Thank You I live in northeastern Arizona
Of course! www.idealpoultry.com/

Turkey do not breed like other feather birds because of the weight of the bird blessing to you guys and good breading on the 🦃
Lots of blessings will come to you guys because you are true at ❤️
@Wilbur Gold thank you for the info 🦃☺️

Do y’all slaughter your chickens yourself. Also, seen ya started to get some piggies. Is it your intent to slaughter them as well? My family has chickens but we haven’t gone all the way yet. And we were thinking about maybe pigs. I’m a little squirly when it comes to harvesting meat and my wife is a vegetarian... so that’s a no for her. But, I thought maybe a butcher would do it for us. Thanks and god bless
We with chickens, but haven’t yet with pigs. We took our last 3 to the butcher. Mainly because it is so hot here in Texas, butchering outside is better in colder weather.
Otherwise you need a cooler room.
Better Together Life awesome, thanks for the info!
Cow farm ?
I am confused?
Lmaoff 🥰👍
You should never buy ANYTHING from COSTCO again!
Why?
@@mannaforlife829 They cancel suppliers that aren't socialist and don't support the Fascist program. They are being boycotted right now.
Makes a good video. However, the chickens you raise are not “more nutrient dense” and they will cost you more money to get on your plate. The lowest cost, most nutritious food that you can produce is vegetables. Look at the ground in your videos, it’s mostly dead bare dirt because your doing incredibly intensive agriculture on a tiny piece of land.
No sorry you’re mistaken. Feel free to go back and look at our older videos of our property.....it was degraded land when we bought it. So us rotationally grazing our animals is actually helping the property.
Now, if you are talking about the pigs then yes you are correct. We got caught behind and will be running new electric lines so that we can open up the pigs into the main forest.
But watch some of our older videos and you will see all of the progress we have made!
