    I just got 30 meat chickens and 15 turkeys. It’s what we must do! Our food supply is so overtaxed and broken. ❤❤❤. Great job you guys!!!!🤙🤙🤙

    I really appreciated all you effort and work you were putting into the bus "for the new owners". Not taking shortcuts and replacing things that didn't actually require it speaks volumes about your character as people and a couple. You guys are awesome!!

    Omgggggg ! !
    Those juvenile chicks are completely ADORABLE !
    We're in Stagecoach Tx (near Houston ) and a whole cooked rotisserie chicken is [US]$4.98 @ Sam's Club , but a whole fryer(raw) @ the local grocery store is more pricey $7.33 ( avrge wt. 4.21 lbs )
    So basically , YEAH , yardbird has gotten CRAZY EXPENSIVE ! Thanks for sharing y'alls progress ..MEGA Thumbs Up !

    It will be so nice for you to have the bus parking spot to use for something else. It will change the look of everything! I have to hand it to you, raising those chickens. I couldn’t do it because I couldn’t “dispatch” them. They are so darn cute.

    I admire the attention you give your animals, even the ones you'll harvest. And fixing the bus up to an even better condition, says alot about ya'll. You're correct about us Americans, we have little area to grow food, our lives are one of convenience, and electronics. We'll, most of us...lol 😂😅 There's a reason why I indulge in CZcams off grid channels, to learn. Love ya'll ❤

    Oh and by the way, just throw the chips on top of that straw. It will start to compost under the chips and generate heat. The chickens will turn and scratch at the chips and help it stay aerated for the composting process. When you move the birds out, you have amazing soil for your garden. In nature birds always follow ruminant animals so don’t worry about the chicks being on the chips with goat manure.

    Most of my shopping in Michigan USA at the Mennonites Farm Markets or I go directly to the Amish Stores (they for 1 make their own cheese) In most cases are cheaper than Meijer's or Walmart or Krogers Or Aldi's. (Aldi's have cheaper canned vegetables if that is what you are looking for) I can my own tomatoes (you can not find a better canned tomato or green peppers or corn on the cob) so easy....cut up celery-green peppers-carrots-throw in a ziplock bag & throw in the freezer, throw your corn on the cob in a freezer bag (do not blanch) throw in freezer. You have to pressure can green beans.

    A cooked organic chicken is 9.99 so I can live without the grain cost, poop and the time spent on them.. I grew up on a farm and those days are way behind me. We made our drain field deep and put the garden over it. Smarter not harder so add septic tank and drain field for easy life hack but there maybe a cost factor for you.

    One thing I do like about what I had in my bus was the old style propane furnace that ran off a pilot light no forest air best furnace ever for RV now that electronic **** and two small fridges born on top of each other one I used for a freezer and one I used for a fridge and the bus had a bathroom toilet with a corner sink and across from that I built a shower stall and then the bed was at the back two tables one on each side that folded down to beds would stove on the passenger side right by the door two big propane tanks one saddle tank off an old Chevy truck and 13 bottle tank at the very back held a lot of propane for a long time propane tanks are still in it wood stove's still in it kitchen sink is still in it the rest is out

    It is a mystery to me why these 4-wheeler manufacturers and riding lawn mower builders don't put a receiver hitch, or some means for a trailer ball on the front of the equipment. It sure would make moving the little trailers around a lot easier. And, what in hell do I have to do to get you kids to wear gloves when you're working? You're killin me!
