I am 65 years old. Have had chickens and guard geese all of my life. Love my chickens.
If I want to be sold stuff I will go to QVC, this used to be the best channel on youtube, what happened man,
Shut up! Waiter, I'll have whatever he's having!
I thought my chicken coop build was overkill, but your chicken pagoda is like a chicken palace! Yeah when you raise your own you know what the quality of food is, having access to grass free ranging and bugs and quality grains makes for huge yolks high in omegas and great taste!
Agreed! It looks like something a wife would find off of Pintrest! My husband is a 40-yr general contractor and he tells those wives what those special projects will wind up costing, and they are shocked.
When I added flaxseed to my chickens diet the jokes became larger and more orange....tastier to.
They should get their own CZcams channel and share these jokes 😂@@shirley7137
@@shirley7137 jokes, like why did the chicken cross the road? 🙂
You got to put somw isolation for the winter, orher wase the chikens die of cold, no?
*That's great to hear.*
*This is how ketosis worked for me.*
*Since I've been on keto for two years, I no longer have to take my blood pressure pills,*
*I've lost a lot of weight, I don't have insulin resistance, and I have more energy.*
*The appearance of the skin has improved, the hair does not fall out.*
*It's definitely better and I'm happy that I'm on keto.*
Could you elaborate. How often and long do you fast in an average day or week or are you carnivore or both?
@@doctordutchFor ketosis you just need a diet with no carbohydrates, and can eat as much as you want. Check your labels, but for the most part that's meat, cheese, eggs, and a limited number of veggies, just NO carbs. Seriously check your labels, carbs are in everything. Keep in mind on this diet muscle building exercises should be avoided as it can damage your organs. Done properly, you will lose weight FAST. consult a doctor for sure.
That chicken coop is a work of art. You must take a lot of pride in your craftsmanship. Worthy build to say the least.
Well said🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
If chickens could write you would be getting tenant resumes from across Canada to live in that castle, hell, I'd live in there.
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😊
So we have 200 hens on pasture. Over 400 feet from the house in mobile tractors with flexinet moveable solar electric fence. Biggest loss can be from raptors. 2 or 3 roosters with the hens really help. When they see a bird overhead the roosters put out a call and you can see all the hens run to be under the chicken tractors. The rooster guards save us lots of birds. Ditto with the bears and bobcats. Roosters let the hens know when danger is present. There is a purpose for all animals in nature, including the good old rooster.
Wow I haven’t seen that Volcanic Ash bag in years. I used to freelance for them and actually designed that entire bag, artwork and everything else on it. Neat surprise! Good luck Shawn
That is very cool! You did a great job.
That is a chicken castle. What a design!!
Chickens just as a source of fertilizer are a valuable asset.
yes I am harvesting compost now for my garden it is so rich!
That's a fact
In the NC mountains, farmers grow corn for a chicken farm and then use the chicken poop to fertilize. They get the highest yields in NC for their category of corn every year.
I was at the extreme end of Hypertension and a little over a year ago, I switched to a Carnivore diet. I was off my BP meds in just over a week, also wiped out an autoimmune disorder I had suffered with for over 10 years.
I'm 60 and I haven't ever felt this good. The bonus weight loss and muscle tone/growth has to be seen to be believed. Cheers and good health to you and your family, Shawn.
How old were you when you switched to carnivore? What do your meals look like?
@@doctordutch Switched at 59. Been just over a year now.
Mostly beef (steak, stewing beef, ground beef), small amount of pork and chicken.
Redmond's salt, distilled water since 2019.
Most think the daily looks bland and boring and I thought that too, in the beginning.
After a week, all the tasty treats you craved, whether salty or sweet, just disappear. You start craving beef, beef fat, eggs, bacon, butter, salt, all the things your body has been trying to tell you it wants, ever since you were a kid.
I haven't had any carbs, sugars, plants since May 9, 2023 and I don't have to 'try', I just have no urge or craving for any of it. I was a Dorito fanatic, havent had any and don't miss them at all. I feel twenty years younger and I sleep like a baby. So calm, peaceful, no stress, too much energy though.
Life changing stuff. Everyone needs to wake up to this reality and say goodbye to big pharma.
The only thing you'll need a doctor for is trauma.
That is the most beautiful chicken coop that I have ever, ever seen!
Trail cam also picked up the wild, elusive Cali dog 😁
Chicken coop, that is not a chicken coop. That is art work, architecture looks like something from a fairy tale. Great job.
Simple life Alaska has some great suggestions for chicken food! Also to keep egg production optimal they have a heater that burns one gallon a day! Something to think about Shawn
Be sure you put your fencing deep into the ground so that predators cannot dig under the fencing...i had to part with my hens when a weasel set up shop under my coop. they can wipe out your whole flock in a day. Good luck Sean!
One of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much is that it is rare that I don't learn something new. It looks like your chicken coop is going to be a work of art! Can't wait to see the finished building. 🐔
One change you forgot to mention is the change in your physical appearance. You have regained your stellar appearance you had in your earlier videos....Sauna first use video anyone?? Thanks for all the effort you have put into your channel, especially your creativity and technical prowess in your videography, editing and choice of pics of the beauty around you.. I can honestly say that I respect the way you live your life. Your example means more than you know to very many of your "Old" followers.
He did mention it. If you skipped the ad you missed it.
He does talk about his physical appearance - part of the AG1 commercial. Weight loss will lower your BP, regardless of supplements.
I really hope you do a follow-up with your parents and their body's response to ag1 I've been looking at it for a long time couple of years at least but as a senior I've never seen anyone else that's my age take it, so I would be really interested. It sounds like your parents and myself are kind of in a similar situation as far as our food needs and health go. So please do a follow-up with them and let us know.
I think it’s freaking fantastic that you have learned so much about nutrient rich foods, and your new way of eating has helped you so much, more people should do that, and I’m interested in getting AG1, I would also like to eat better. My BP is high, along with my cholesterol. It’s time to make a change. Thanks for very good advice!
Put a fake animal like a snake on top of the coop to scare off predators. Ironically we had a fake owl we used to scare off chicken hawks.
Shawn I looked into AG1 for my family. My concern is the 18mcg per gram of Lead. The FDA states that a small amount of lead isn't necessarily harmful in products such as these. However, I will have to do more research before considering using AG1. Thank you.
More important than ever to have a good diet and supplement well. Your physical change is obvious,looking good. I'm 72 with reasonable diet and supplement well. Even with that it is not enough. Now in summer along with work, I swim close to half a mile every day to keep the respiratory/circulatory system functioning well. I'm lean and have similar complexion as Shawn. The coop design is fantastic! Impressive!
Living soil is what the world needs too quickly head back to because it does many things not just feeds the plants roots. Thanks Shawn.
There are a couple of channels I watch that are getting carried away with the product endorsements - AG1 and Bluetti. 😍🇨🇦
I've seen lot's of other groups swear by A G 1. It's a shame that it costs so much. Shawn it's good to hear that you're feeling better and improving in your health daily. It's definitely something to check into.
Aroha from New Zealand🐥 As an avid bantam-aunty, so glad to see chickens “gracing” your self-resilience🐣 I have just started making bio-char in simple metal can retorts, in my woodburner - it works! When activated, this is charcoal-gold, keeps on delivering micro organisms back to gardens for years. And you are sitting on a goldmine of wood for bio-char making (in your idle moments🤣). Gratitude for your channels, they got me and my vagus nerve through the tough NZ lock-downs and go freedom convoys/protests! 🤞🌹🙏
Awesome chicken coop! I just used the compost from my chickens in my garden today, you will love what it does for your vegetables. Great work!❤
Can't wait to see the coop done! Love all the videos
I am in the bush with plenty of barred owls...no issues with my hens. Primarily sharp-shinned hawks when migrating and fishers! Good luck!
There's no substitute for your own chickens. We have 15 chickens and a rooster, and we are getting a dozen eggs a day.
Rhode island red chickens are the best they lay lovely brown eggs theres nothing lije 2 soft boiled eggs and hot buttered toast with a pot of tea and maybe some sausages for breakfast yum they taste so good compared to white eggs to me they taste like an egg should taste you look wonderful fit and healthy thats important as you get older best regards to you and your family loved the pics of the owls my late husband raised an orphan baby owl my husband didn't know you have to feed them crickets to give them calcium in thier wings so they can fly he never did learn to fly he was a great horned owl
Very good info Shawn. Thanks for telling us the why factor in your reasoning to better understand the choices you're making for your entire family.
Thanks for sharing Shawn...interesting information about the food quality in general today. Glad you are able to have such a healthy garden there.
I really enjoy watching just about every video you put up! Adapting is how everyone ended up being here.. imagine what our families in the last 200 or 300 years had to do to make it possible for all of us!! Adapting is huge!!! Thank you..🌸
I have chickens and rabbits . Under the chicken roost I put leaves and straw and the chickens will scratch through it all year long so that it turns to some really good fertilizer for my garden . I mix the rabbits droppings with it . I’ve done that for two years now . My garden is getting most of the organic stuff it needs . I have a mulch bed where everything that’s scraps goes into it . I mix some of that in my garden as well . All the chopped up corn stalks , pea vines , potato vines and stuff like that goes in my mulch bed all year to be put in the garden in the early spring . That’s all I put in my garden for fertilizer .
Looks like Cali is healing up very well! ❤🙏
I’ve had chickens for a few years now and just one of the great things about having them is the poop is fantastic on my garden! Another boon to having them is that they’re always ready to help me by eating the leftovers when I clean the refrigerator out, lol. They love scraps!
For mites etc… I use First Saturday Lime in my coop and run. None of the dozens of chickens I’ve ever had have had varmints on them. I swear by the Lime and it’s safe for my cats and dogs too, though I don’t use it one them.
I tried AG1 but the taste was just awful even with Stevia in it. Couldn’t do i myself
1/2 the video was about 😊AG1
We have been using AG1 for 3 years and love the taste.
Dieses AG 1 wurde in Deutschland von einem unabhängigen Institut untersucht. Und das Ergebniss war niederschlagen. Es enthält nichts was auch eine normale Ernährung dem Körper geben kann. Diese ganzen webessprüche sind reine Werbung.... Das Zeug ist reine Abzocke...
Yea I lost interest after listening about AG1 for several minutes straight. Other videos as well. It’s too bad.
General rule for me: if lots of CZcamsrs promote a product, it's probably crap
66 yrs old and just ordered AG1 perhaps when it kicks in I will feel like riding bike again. The pedal type. I work full time in a paper warehouse so I get a lot of lifting but no energy when I get home. Thanks for your review I trust you and I bet I'm not alone on that. That's the fanciest looking chicken coop I have ever seen. Thanks again for all the videos
That’s a beautiful owl feeder you are building! 😀 Kidding. Congrats on your new diet. And seriously, the coop is really nice. Seems to have a Japanese feel to the roof lines.
Right there with you on the quality of our food. We got a gift certificate for a steakhouse, and I really do not want to use it. I started using volcanic dust on my garden as well. Composted leaves also add minerals to the soil. Had to refill my raised beds this spring. Put in a layer of composted leaves with composted herbicide free horse manure over the top. You should see how well my strawberries are making a come back.
Went keto this spring and my blood pressure dropped down to normal as well.
I tried AG1 but the taste was just awful even with Stevia in it. Couldn’t do i myself.
I purchased the expensive AG1 and couldn't handle the taste at all.
AG 1 ist ein völlig nutzlose zuzats Nahrungsmittel, getestet von der Universität Mainz, Deutschland, manche Inhaltsstoffe sind dazu noch gefährlich für Magen und Darm flora, auch ist der Bestell Vorgang auf der Website undurchsichtig, schnell hat man ein Jahresabo gestellt, d H 109 Euro im Monat....also Vorsicht und nicht kaufen das Zeug taugt nichts....
Thanks for sharing your time n talents with us today!! Lots to know...
👍🦊🧙♂️🐺🤙
Dam brother you look 10 years younger than the last time I watched you. I've been on a keto diet for a few months and havnt had those kind of results.
Hey Shawn my parents taught me that if someone changes their mind about anything, then you best better believe that they have a reason and that’s why I don’t question or judge. Great video! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Best of success with the chickens, 🐓
Good to see your progress.
Hi Shawn, first off I'd like to say awesome chicken coop. Looks like a entrance to a church, awesome work. Now on your diet. Your seeing benefits because you already work hard and eat very lean meat. The AG1 is not the reason, you are. Everyone can't or won't work at your extreme level of endurance day in and day out. You have the ability to, do to your lifestyle. I applaud you for this. Anyway Take Care Now
When you travel in a camper for a long period of time just being off your schedule can take the life out of you. Getting back home and having a nice tan makes a difference in you appearance too.
Thanks for the post as always very informative and enjoyable. God bless you and all of yours.
I really enjoy your videos.
So peaceful and knowledgeable.
Your videos bring a calming grounded feel to my day.
@shawnjames. Glad to hear you are focusing on nutrient density, vs. just caloric intake. Am interested in what ever happened to the logs you seeded with mushroom spore? Are they fruiting yet? They would be classed as a superfood. And you know how to forage, but many of us don't. Secondly, I live in the USA zone 7B. I have the advantage of being able to grow green veg almost all winter long (spinach, kale, peas, broccoli, celery, lettuce, kohlrabi, parsley, etc.)...but when summer rolls around, that all goes to seed. I'd like fresh (because once you get spoiled growing your own, everything from the grocery store looks almost inedible). I have thought about growing things hydroponically inside during the searing summer heat. And leaving my outside garden to those foods I can preserve (in moderation as, except for sweet potatoes, they are NOT the A-1 veg.) Do you think the AG1 is a replacement for all those winter crops, considering hydroponics are artifically fed (unless you raise the fish whose waste fuels that system-- a major chore)?
Started the carnivore diet 2 months ago and it's been an eye opener, all health problems gone and the visceral fat , i'm now the size I was in my twenties.
We heard about the AG1 from you over a month ago. Been using it since! Sure helps with getting rid of cravings! Thanks for sharing! You look great!
Awesome job Shawn! Stay healthy and fit!
*Good on you Shawn! Daily healthy diet plus exercise are on your side, and should you want to go further, try the intermittent fasting as well with a small window for consumption within a 24-hr period. Take it from a former diabetic2 with high blood pressure and cholesterol, you would feel much younger and energetic with that integrated approach! Love your channel, so inspirational!*
Wonderful news, Shawn, wonderful news!
Come to my house and I’ll show you a backyard garden that I keep adding too every week. Hoping to have a big harvest before I plant the winter vegetables. I have mint in various places of the yard to combat rats, which has been working. Propagating as I go also.
Then in my front yard, this will be medicinal plants like chamomile, ginger, garlic for now. Researching other things I can plant in my climate, which is zone 10b. We would love to get chickens, but zoning in my urban area is not too fond of that.
Aloha Shawn ⛱️ I really enjoyed this segment you shared about the quality of our intake that most people these days are lacking of true nutrients! The garbage sold in most grocery stores is like plain ruffage ! I can tell the difference especially in quality eggs by the taste and how they look ! Have fun this weekend and hope you find some great layers ,Bard Rock ,Rhode Island reds ,Australorps are my favorites! 🐔 🐥 🥚 HI Calli 🐕 ❤
I'm 75 this year and I'm doing AG1 also since February. Let it replace my coffee. Blood pressure is down but not to the point I can quit the meds yet. Like the taste and the ease of using it. Really like the travel packs and the convenience of that. Feel a lot better as the main benefit. My joints don't hurt as much as they used to. Keep going Shawn. Love ur channel.
Chickens can be a little extra work but eggs are always a good thing, chickens eat most of the food/garden garbage, they provide fertilizer and can potentially help fighting pest in the garden. All in all they will probably be a nice addition!
Dude, congrats to you and you wife for changing your diet and getting healthy! Its so great to be a human and to be able to change our minds.
Good luck with the chicks!
Always wondered about nutritional values of food. They measured them in the 70's originally. And it's not like they measure the value every year and all over the nation. And I doubt farmers do soil nutrient tests either. I've assumed the data was off for a long time...
Awesome barred owl footage and nice to healthy two healthy chicks. Hopefully they don't get too invested in your chickens to warrant going after them and potentially injuring themselves in the process. I have a friend who also lives up north in the woods who did the same thing actually. He said he got great eggs but for the predators that live there, it's like putting the holy grail of good eatin' for everyone to notice haha
Same thing has happened to us. We used to buy lovely free-range eggs, Lately, however, the egg quality has gone down and down. Sadly we can't keep chickens as we live in an apartment. Think the neighbours would complain if chickens were running round in our communal hallways! Chicken coop is looking GREAT, Shawn!
We have a backyard flock for eggs and meat for the same reasons. Only use organic feed and free range on our property, with 10 hens and one rooster our feed cost is about $4/ dozen but they are a large breed with quite large eggs. Is it worth it? Yes, we know what they eat and they are excellent gardening tools and fertilizers. I use deep wood chip bedding in the greenhouse for the winter which gives us great mulch for garden pathways and compost base.
eggshells are super productive for gardens as well and the chickens will also benefit
I live in Texas, we were at a place lot of trees , a table .so we stoped to eat. It was late ,I can't walk good so my son drove his truck up close .when we were getting ready to leave. I guess our truck made some noise there was a huge owl he took off flying just over my head. His wings spand looked like a 747 . It took off scared the heck out off us. It was a white owl. I have never seen such a big one. Beautiful bird I wish I had taken a picture. I was too shocked to think about it.
You’re looking very fit and healthy, Shawn- kudos to you and your wife as you continue this journey to better health - My husband and I do try and take supplements but will try the AG-1- but as with anything we put into our bodies and/or add supplements like this, it’s always wise to check with one’s Doc or NP, PA prior as it may intercere with any current meds one is taking-- I’m a semi-retired cardiac nurse that has our own channel up coming- We Always watch your vlogs, Shawn-
All the best, brother
That is beautifully made!
That AG1 tasted good and gave me energy, but 4 days later I was constipated for several days. I had to stop using it.
Shawn, you look fantastic. I think I'm going to try that AG1. I used to drink something just like it when I was younger and it worked great. I forget why I stopped.
$100/mth - not sure if that covers taxes and shipping!
Inspiring video shawn! I'd love to get some chickens on my land to add to the garden I'm building this year. Thanks for the content!
Would you please share the change in diet, how you got lean, what you stopped eating, and dropped 17 lbs. and what you supplemented into your diet ? Would really appreciate it. I do drink Ag1 + the D3 ~
Thank you 😊
Shawn, I ordered AG1 and received it yesterday. I started it today. Wow, energy! I fractured my back 10 years ago. Low bone density. Im anxious to see how this goes.
My name is June
Getting off of blood pressure medication is so good. It has so many side affects. 💕
Like weight gain! I had a heart attack in 2017 and within a month of being on their meds, I became this incedible hulk. It is awful. The doctors will tell you that blood pressure meds will not do this to you, but that is BS. I was thin all my life.
A few years back I "roofed" my chicken-run + Vegetable garden over with fine chicken-wire after I lost chickens daily to our Gymnogene's (African Harrier Hawk) and Owls.
I even dug the wire one foot deep into the ground to keep the snakes out which before squeezed themselves under the wire into the garden and killed my chickens.
Years ago I lived near a place that had top soil and compost in big piles .you could gig your own.
.I took two big trash cans filled them up with mushroom compost.
Then tryed to lift them on to the truck.
My two sons helped .thay were 10 and 12.
It was a struggle but we did it.
I dug up the side yard got rid of grass tilled the ground with compost.
Planted the whole yard with flowers all purple and yellow and white. It looked so beautiful. There was a big planter by the entry to house with a covered walk way all the plants looked sorry one bush dead, I pulled it out. There was a big hole ,so I filled it up with compost. You wouldent belive how the plants reacted creeping charlie, leaves size of a nickel were now size of a baseball. Spider plant was wild. I pulled out a big one I thought, ,but the baby's had baby's. Ibplanted it in a pot on a iron stand the baby's covered the outside of the pot , about 3 or 4 feet it was gorges. Unfortunately someone stole it and some others one in a wheelbarrow full of flowers. There was mor , but it makes me angry . So I will stop thinking about my loss.
go for it Shawn !!!
We just lost two of our laying hens to nesting hawks this past week. Part of the trade off with having birds free range. Free range birds eat less feed and
you’ll never have a tick problem with birds gobbling them all! You just have to be prepared to replace the few unfortunates that the predators get :(
We live in central Maryland and predators are generally worse when they are nesting.
I like the powdered greens and reds from LiveGood company, they are same good quality but way lower priced.
merci JAMES
Thanks for the hints
You have accomplished SO MUCH since the last I watched your vids. Everything looks fantastic! WOW You guys have a beautiful home!😊
AG1 sounds great. I need something like this, and might just have to break down and purchase some….thanks for the tip!
Love LOVE your home you did yourself proud,
thanks for sharing shawn ngood day to you sir
Yep I remember you saying that...but looking forward to why you changed your mind
So Beautiful Nature, , You Have. Have a Good Time.
I heard the wood thrush singing in the background. My absolute favorite song bird.
You are allowed to change your mind Shaun, like the rest of us. Good luck with the diet, you look fantastic & very toned.
Love seeing the owls.
The chicken coop is cute and curvy. So the coop is for food and eggs. I hope you raise plenty of roosters. My guess is that you won't free range the chickens for safety. The martins and other small predators it will be tough. Make sure you put any wire more than a foot deep in the ground so predators can't get to you stock. You will need heating and colling fan for them. I hope the best for the familys indevor.
You really should get a soil analysis of your raised beds before and after adding supplements and see what the differences are related to productivity.
you become expert in carving wood! wow so beautiful created
I started I.F. 14 months ago....dropped a bunch of weight I had packed around for 30+ years. Reduced blood pressure med by 88% and may eventually do away with it completely. 62 years old.
You look awesome..and inquiring into AG1...take your vest off!!
Just cover run with metal or opaque roofing. Snow weight on chicken wire would be silly.
And bolt lock on chicken door.
Thank you , Shawn .
🐺Loupis Canis .
Shawn, if you could list a few meat-based meals you guys typically have, what are they? My wife and I prodominately eat venison and chicken. Here in MI we can harvest quite a few and I do each year because it is much cheaper than purchasing beef usually. I'm basically trying to broaden ways to prepare red meat because it does get "meh" from time to time. If you had any popular suggestions I would love to hear them.
I need Guinea hens on my property, the ticks are completely out of control this year.
I’ve heard that they can eat their weight in ticks.
Not sure where you are, but they are vicious on snakes too.
Just wondering if chicken wire will stand up to something like a bear or will you add another layer like page wire or something to make it a little tougher for predators? I know my Dad buried chicken wire under our run for our rabbits so they couldn't dig out, I wonder if that might help to stop predators that might want to dig their way into the chicken run?
Hi Shawn and Cali, it's been a while since I've commented. What a fancy chicken coop! Maybe name it the Eggceptional Marriott. You are looking healthier and younger these days. As always, God bless you and your family from your very long-time California subscriber 🙏 🤲
