I am convinced. Jason, you can build anything. So appreciate you and Lorraine AND Penelope! Prayers for continued health and happy homesteading.
I enjoy watching your videos because you make things seem possible. And I love to see a person using up scraps!
I'm never gonna be a homesteader and I don't even eat chicken but I come here to watch the positive stuff you do. Thanks for that!
Your video and editing quality has made a huge jump recently! I love your family and thanks for the sharing with us.
Yes the sounds of the land!!! Like the whistle song! đïžđđžđ€đ„đŠ
Good day from Kamakura, Japan! đŻđ” Yes Jason, the sound of frogs in early spring is wonderful! Good job on the chicken coop! đ€©đđŸđđŸ
Have a nice day! Thanks
Hello Kamakura Japan. I hope you are having an awesome day. đ«đ
Jason, great idea to put the brooders in the smaller building. It would be fun to name the new hatchery and maybe Penelope can paint a sign. How about The Hatchery House or The Hatchery Hut. Your followers would send in a lot of fun name suggestions. đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°
I too love the sound of the frogs in the evening here in Texas â€
Have a wonderful weekend
Always miss seeing your videos! Look for them every day lol đ
So when one comes out everything stops till I watch! Always puts me in a great mood! Y'all are awesome.
I could listen to tree frogs all night, great video
I love your videos!!! You donât constantly repeat yourself you explain while you work ! I need to make a brooder this month so your timing â±ïž was perfect!!!!!!
Jason, you had me from the video where you said it has to look good too!! I appreciate the fact that you and your wife keep things looking nice and neat. Also, that you are confident enough to be silly if you want to be. Blessings to you and your family!!
I love it when the âpeepersâ come out.
Too Funny! Your look when you open and close the hasp! What a ham!
Nice chicken brooder Jason đŠđŠđđ
The more comfortable you get with recording yourself the more goofy you get! I love it!!!!
oh my - ASMR frogs - exaclty why I keep coming back to Jason .. "the Barnyard Bard" - for
his _wonderously made_ content God Bless
Great brooder box Jason- you are a magician. I loved the look on your face when you were testing that new latch- it was like a kid in a Lolly Shop. Cheers Denise -Australia
Man, I just built a brooder VERY similar to yours with the same, drop down wall feature for easy clean out! You did a nice job!
Predators are the reason you don't use a big stall as a brooder. It's way too hard to rat/raccoon/mink proof it. The other issue is mess. Chicks create an enormous amount of dust/dander that gets all over EVERYTHING. Your barn would be covered in the stuff and it gets all over your equipment/wood/tools, etc.
The best solution is a dedicated, outdoor set up for brooding. I haven't gotten there yet because it's a big commitment to do.
Also, I just got one of those milwaukee narrow crown staplers too! I used it to put up insulation in a workshop, but I found it's awesome for hardware cloth like you mentioned. Very happy with it.
Always a great video, and I appreciate your quirky humor. Always smiles.
You always bring a smile to me. Even when working hard, you give a smile. The brooder is great! Enjoy your weekend.
Oh Jason you make me giggle. đ
Wow, I really like the way you designed the brooder for the meat balls! I like that draw latch and how simple it will be to clean it out. Nice job Jason! It was fun to watch you build it. It should work well for you in the shed where you want to raise the meat birds. They will be protected from the rats. I had mice chew through the OSB I had for my chicken brooder so I had to put plywood up to cover the holes they had chewed in it.
Awesome Jason the next installment congratulations to yâallâs.
I need to build a brooder box soon and have eggs in the Incubator and trying to grow my channel you're doing great keep up the good work
I love the sounds of nature...Jason you sure can build stuff it looks awesome...
We love the frogs too. Just after it rains they come out in force.
Your comment section says it all. We all love your family and youâre loving care! You are not challenged by upstaging another because itâs just not important. God blessâŒïž
Thanks for these instructional videos! I canât keep brooding birds in my bathroom! đ
Love your humor.
Great job on the chicken brooder Jason â€
Thanks đ I appreciate it
Great build from your scrap pile.
Nice job Jason
Lovely brooder Jason.
A good job, those chicks will like it. I remember ordering 200 chicks as a 12 year old, I was listening to my crystal radio one night, and heard an ad for baby chicks at a penny each, I miss those days, and those prices.
That really is the beauty of the seasons in nc. Just when you are getting tired of one, it switches. Iâve been here 22 yrs and canât see myself leaving.
Jason, you look the healthiest that Iâve seen you in ages!đ
Great job, there's always something to build on a homestead, especially when getting more animals!
Love your channel Jason. Think I'm going to borrow your ideas and redo the enclosure for my pots. The flimsy hoops and screen did not stand up to the snow. Thanks for the ideas.
Nice
Nice job man!
Love watching you build stuff. Wish I was thst talented. I'm hammer, nails, duck tape and twine girl...lol.
Love watching you build things!
Excellent job! The small part of the top that wasn't screened would have been great for it to be hinged so that when you feed and pull the waterer in and out you wouldn't have to take the entire roof off. Those chicken babies like to jump!
Very cool brooder! Also enjoyed the frogs! Thank you!
Great job as always and love the touches of humor also
You make everything look so easy .
You guys are loved!! All that you do is good!!
Hi..... Jason nice to see you love watching your videos homestead đ bye đ bye đ bye đ đđđđŁđ„đđđđ±đșđčđ»đŒđžđ·đĄđ„đđđ
Love your humor đ
Sound of the life
Thats a beautiful brooder! Good Job!
Great project. I too love the sounds of the land, I actually heard A frog in my front yard in Dec.
I like that broader too đ haha happy chickens đđ€â€
Weasels can come through a knot hole. I used the wire with tiny little squares and enclosed the hole area inside with it. Even the ceiling
Hardware is lovely! God bless
Nice to use flooring that can be easily cleaned! Cog hill put sand on the floor and vinyl walls too. Looks so cute and easy to clean. Yours is going to be so nice!! đđ»
Jason!! I'm gonna try n build one like that! I gotta put my order in... For my chicks!!đ
Have no fear Jason is here
i love my milwaukee tools also haha
Cool project! The wheels arrived today for the laying hen tractor I got plans from you for. Keep up the good work!
Jason, you are a great example to the generations of people who dream of doing what you are doing. Wonderful legacy!
Long way to our season changes up here in Alberta Canada đšđŠ
Jason, love how you build things, great info for a 58 year old homesteader who misses her daddy every day. He could build anything, and I try to remember what he did, but he died in '91. The memory ain't what it used to be baby. And the frogs, oh Lord! No doubt, I had a friend visiting last spring, and as we went into the house they were like, "what is that noise?" I said what noise? Was the frogs, they had never heard it before, cracked me up, I told them they needed a country life.
Looks great Jason đ”đ€
I had my chicks in a stable for a few years with no problems but last year rats found them and took every one of them. I made a temporary brooder to put in the stall for the replacement chicks last year. This year, I'm working on another that I'm building on an old trailer bed. The plan is to use it as a mobile coop for some of my egg layers in the back field after the chicks are out of it. That's the plan anyway...time will tell. đ
Really enjoy watching you allđ
Nice job! You always do a great job on your farm.
I enjoy watching your videos.
Jason sometimes you are such a homesteading nerd. I see why she keeps you around, truly a jack of all trades
I too love the frogs, we still have a couple months.
I love your videos. You have so much information, and some comedy with it. I love the sound of frogs in the Spring!! Makes me feel so happy that Winter is coming to an end.
Cool Jason thanks for sharing.
I was freaked out when I saw my bulbs already popping through the mulch. Iâm in 7b, itâs to early!! But it makes me excited
Jason, are you sure you weren't a carpenter in another life? Nice job on the chicken brooder.
As you know, in SoCal we can not hear the animals or bugs due to Sirens, Gunfire and road noise. I am so happy you got to take you family away to a homestead.
Love you all from the city of constant noise.
:-)
Love all your comedic faces Jason!!! You sure look like your having fun!
He is funny too. đ€©đ€©
It looks great I like that you dont have to bend so much...
thanks for the video and information on the chicken brooder. have a great week end
Those brooders will see good off season use I am sure. Onion drying, work surface, mini greenhouse for herbs by the door...
you r one great carpenter wish i could buy one from you hahaha
Always educational and entertaining.
Awesome vlog & glad to see you are feeling better & have a sense of humor! Blessings to all đ€đđšđŠ
đThanks.
The frogs woke up two nights ago here! NW GA!
We have been hearing the frogs and crickets too. We love it when we start hearing them and the excitement of spring coming. It seems really really early this year.
Amazing work
Heya, that is a nice brooder and that with recycled materials well done
Hi, Jason! You are so creative! You make really nice structures from what some people would regard trash. You are organized and your projects are always finished off nicely. You canât build anything. I enjoy watching your construction videos.
All your videos are so cool, you make it so us newbies have a little more confidence to get into these small projects!
You are always amazing to watch building a project. I admire people that can build anything with little to no training.
Sweet. God bless.
Jason I believe both your short term and long term solutions are spot on. I really like your new brooder. Getting it high off the floor is really going to frustrate the rats. They don't like having open areas like that, no hiding places. AND it's going to be a lot easier on your back,especially as you get older working with the chick's. Well done. I'd love to get those plans if you make them available. đđđŁđ€đ„
Those little frogs are called "spring peepers". Also you might consider a multilayer gravel floor (large stone then fine packable stone on top) with vinyl chicken wire between gravel layers and geotextile underneath. I think gravel is far more rodent proof and cheaper than a concrete slab. Rats tend to make cities under the concrete and it is really hard to get them out once they do.
love it
Your spring peepers are a month or so ahead of us in Western Pennsylvania.
You make me laugh...in a good way. Haha
Love your channel. Iâm anxious to see how the grass grows this spring after the animals have been fertilizing this last year. Best wishes for a great season ahead. đ„â€ïžđ
Cool brooder! Love that.
Thanks đ
Good job!
