    Love your videos. Keep them coming. We have been homesteading for over 40 years, but always something new to learn. We are now "retired" (hubby was an EMS helicopter pilot for a lot of years) and now we are on a fixed income. Thankfully, we have everything paid for, but still we have to watch our pennies. There was no pension w/my husbands job, but we managed to put a lot of our income away. We are now in a position to do some traveling across this great country. Our son farm sits for us when we are gone. Now is our time after raising 3 kids. We have 16 grands and we are teaching them about becoming the "crazy chicken lady" and the "crazy plant lady". They love it, out kids come help out when needed and our little homestead feeds three families plus hubby and I . Thank you and your family for showing us new and better ways to do things! We always make it a point to learn one new thing a day. At least ONE! We also have made it a point over the years to improve the way we do things at least a little every day. Thanks for being some sunshine in this world where people like us are no longer being seen as "weird or out there". LOL

      That is so awesome! I remember my grandparents on my dad's side had a farm when I was little and I had so much fun when I visited. I would love to homestead eventually and I think my son would love it as well. I would love to get enough land for 2 homes, one for each of us it would be great.

    You should use a wire shelf (with holes like this llllll) as the flooring under the nest boxes. Having long thin holes allows straw to fall through.

    • @neilmoffett9635
      @neilmoffett9635 Před 2 lety +1

    Smart changes. When I built mine I got rid of all the metal L brackets and so many other additional parts you had on the list. Just overlapped the 2x4s instead and modified how to get the mesh sides on. My only complaint was stepping over the handle to get to the door, so this eliminates that. Nice work

  • @mezenman
    @mezenman Před 2 lety

    Great timing. My chickshaw just got a spring bath as well. I took the roof off to make the cleaning easier. I agree on pulling the dust bath plywood and need to do that. It catches poo. I keep a bin outside the coop for baths. I use an extra milk crate for the support to stop it from tipping. Seems to work. I will probably set it up as a 5th nesting box.

    @DIY-Sally Před rokem

    We've got a few chicks coming in April. Definitely considering building the chickshaw in prep for that! You had mentioned in an older video regarding the chickshaw, that the plans would continue to get better as others voluntarily helped (catch typos, etc.). I am a graphic artist who will very willingly share anything I see that could be improved - graphically or textually. Though, I would think by now, the plans are pretty much void of any typos - but certainly will look them over well. God seems to be blessing your family richly in so many ways - thank you for sharing the talent and knowledge He has given you!!! Prayers for your continued success, good health, and prosperity.

  • @donnastevens8832
    @donnastevens8832 Před 2 lety +2

    One test you forgot to give it Justin. How well does it perform when going up the side banking from the lower pastures onto the road? Surely the extra length on the handles will make the angle too steep to get it all going upwards before the backend bottoms out … or am I seeing this all wrong!
    I love the way that you guys put your heads together and makes exceptional designs even better. It’s fascinating watching the thought processes and development as it happens.

  • @ABunchOfLadiesAndADood

    Really love it. Thank you for your info on all you do. I’m hoping to put something together soon for my new chicks, but on a smaller scale as a no farm homesteader. Don’t think my neighbors would be favoring more than 4-6 chickens. Lol… Enjoy watching your videos and love the book!

  • @cherylanderson3340
    @cherylanderson3340 Před 2 lety +1

    I'd like it even better if the coop had upper levels for roosting, made with simple dowels.
    Justin mentioned that the larger coop could house as many as 50 chickens! If all huddled together in cold weather, they might each get some time getting warmed when in the middle of 50 sleeping chickens.
    But, in really hot weather, having more head room with several roosts to spread out on
    might help them survive, with more space & better air circulation.
    I love how the whole family gathered & got involved.

And last I like to say, how kind of you to give away your plans for free to anyone who is interested because I think there’s gonna be a lot of people who love your design and use it with her chickens and what else geese ducks rabbits😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

    Loved the videos this week. Especially loved the bobblehead thumbnail! And the chickshaw filming and results. Randolph is a genius!
    One thing I have always noticed - and maybe it is intentional - is there is rarely an outro. If that isn't intentional, I challenge you to develop a few outros and testing each may provide performance data (maybe responses with requesting the hashtag #outro to identify those easier from otger comments).

Josiah with his engineering mind up to this point, he will increase in his craftsmanship with this project & those to come with Lily & Gideon watching mindfully. And of course us as well!

    Hi Justin! I love to watch your videos! Nothing short of awesome! You have some great little helpers to! I like the idea of the chickshaw but I'm in Alaska and we get 4 to 6 feet of accumulative snow in winter and it isn't all gone until June.. my question is would this be best as a summer thing for me? We also see ermine running around to do you think that the 1 inch wire mesh on the floor will keep them from getting our chickens? Were getting 30 chicks about March 1st this year. I may have bitten off more than I can chew on this one... I really like your chick Shaw though! Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated thank you!
