I have to tell you out of all the homesteaders I watch and who spend time with their you are absolutely the only one that your chickens jump right on you and are never afraid of you. I DUB YOU THE CHICKEN WHISPERER! Be proud they really love you. As I think you do too. You and Roxanne have done do great on your homestead. It just keeps coming together a little at a time. Congratulations 💗 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Greetings from Northeast Ohio. I have to laugh. As you were building the chicken coop, Roxanne was the most excited. Who knew, Anthony, that you would become king of the coop? Lol

Anthony you are the Pied Piper of the Chickens

I LOVE MY WISTERIA GROWING UP ON PERGOLA'S

People think chickens are dumb but they really are not they are very smart

You 3 are remarkable folks. I love watching your channel. You're a blessing, like family. You are hard working, determined people.❤❤❤

Placement of the camper would be a neat idea. Building a carport over it will protect the roof tho

Beautiful chickens and super friendly. Never go hungry as long as you have chicken and eggs.

Chicken and goats is all you need

Anthony you are the pied piper of chickens! They love you! I don’t remember or know of anyone on KZfaq that has chickens that the chickens love to just hang out. Your home is coming together and looking so new ce. ❤️❤️❤️

Another Chicken whisperer # 1 is Jeff Bobblehead and now # 2 is Anthony. Congrats 🐥🐥🐓🐓

Anthony looks like the Pied Piper of the flock.

Anthony is like a male Snow White with those chickens!

Before you plant next, i would add in some mulch the dirt you're using is just dirt not soil so much, it needs nutrients in it, but you're done a great job for the first time. If you're going to move you're camper to a permanent spot, I would put a roof over the top of it so the sun doesn't ruin it over the years also

Anthony & Roxane Y’all have definitely done so many improvements to Y’alls property in 1 1/2 yrs. The bathroom is coming along nicely & I Love the idea of placing Y’alls camper over there in front of that area on Y’alls property line!”Chef Ant” I’m gonna have to get one of my kids or grandkids to make us some meatballs using Ur recipe!That sounds DELICIOUS! Also sounds like Wyatt had an AWESOME Birthday!🥰 I had my surgery 7/26/22 & it was successful,my stomach & my colon was up in my esophagus,my Surgeon was able to pull it down & she tacked my stomach to the side to prevent it from reoccurring.I came home the next day & I’m HAPPY to finish recovering here at home!MUCH Love & Respect!!!💙❤️💙

Yes, you really do have some beautiful Chickens 🐔 and Rooster!!! 🐓 ❤ 😍

My contractor taught me how to sand drywall with a damp sponge rather than sandpaper and it's such a more pleasant experience

The Pied Piper has won over the chickens! I believe they would climb on " the platter" for you! 🍗🐓🐓

I'm Tickled Wyatt HD such a great Birthday 🎂 🥳 Happy Birthday Wyatt 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊

Ant, the pied pipper of chickens.

Keep the water to the tomatoes. Soak them good. Check under the mulch to make sure it’s getting through. The garden is doing good, you are doing awesome!

Looks like Wyatt had a great time and lots of fun. I think the idea of making the trailer a guest cottage is a great idea. I have heard of poke, but never really knew how it should be processed. Nice knowing you have some natural food growing that you didn't plant. I so enjoy your videos and look forward to more. Many blessings to you all!!

5th? Dayum I'm late! Watching now 👀 😂🤗

You could probably save space in your garden if you took one of those fence panels (or a portion of a rolled fence) and staple it to the sides and made like a Hoop over the raised bed (or on the two edges near an isle and made like a trellis) and weaved the cucumber, squash, and zucchini plants up the trellis then you could use the middle or other sides for other plants. I've also seen tomatoes grown upside down. Oh and I saw something else about tomatoes where they either picked the leaves or stems from below or above the tomato growth and it supposed grow more or ripen faster. I can't remember. But it'll give you some reading or watching material for the winter. I think the channel about the trellises I saw them on was roots and refuge (about a year ago when they still lived in Arkansas) she's really knowledgeable about plants (when she's not just sitting and talking to the camera) The tomato thing was on either head family farm (just a few videos ago -within the month) or just dig it farms - Traci is a garden designer and very knowledgeable too.

So sweet how the chickens jump on your shoulder.

The Pied Piper of the Chicken Dome 😉

I bet the chickens would love those yellow cucumbers you don't want.

Pied Piper of chickens! Chickens are really pretty.

Dawns here ☀️hard work has it’s Rewards! Dance is good for the Soul! The chicken Whisperer

Anthony is the chicken whisperer 🤟🤟🤟🐥🐤

Very cool to see how Anthony has become a Chicken Whisperer :D P.S Ben Hollar - of Hollar Homestead YT channel - seems like he does a great job of giving them compost, grass clippings, etc. to feast on as a natural diet, as well as occupying their mind - less boredom, happy chickens :D Once you are ready to clear out a garden bed, you can put a handful of chickens on the bed for a day or two to scratch/break down the greens/vines - just need simple cover that fits the entire bed - and the added benefit is that they will also eat alot of bugs.

You do have a tremendous amount to do, but please own what you've done!!! I hear you say, you know you have done a ton, but just keep reminding yourselves.

Anthony the chicken pied Piper 🐣🐤🐥🐓🐓🐓.... Very cool.

Roxanne And Anthony you Guys Are Amazing ❤️❤️

Chickens can learn up to 30 words!

Sunflowers, marigolds and chamomile are great for the garden. I planted right in the vegetable garden right beside plants and my garden was a success.

Birds love the POKE berries.. And it will reseed where ever the birds dropping land..

Love you channel! Those chickens are something you can tell they love Anthony. We can call you the bird man. LOL 😆 Amazing what you guys have accomplished! Together you guys are going to have an awesome for yourselves and your son! He’s a cutie!

With cucumbers I’ve always had better luck with them growing in a trellis or 4x4 square fencing. They grow in a vine style. Hoop house might help with the heat and direct sun exposure. Good luck, thanks for great content, and happy gardening.

Wyatt's birthday party sounds like it was better than my last 20 birthdays. Great job Gram. I mean, he even had music and dancing. How many chicks showed up? LOL Glad it was a great one Wyatt. Happy birthday !!! Garden looking great consider drought conditions but yeah a bit more watering like you mentioned in the mornings or evenings will do wonders.

I have lots of poke, a big nuisance! Cannot keep it under control. Roxanne you need to water, water your tomatoes. Check to make sure the water is getting through the mulch. Yes, the camper would be a nice addition for quests. With a roof and porch it would be very inviting. Anthony is a chicken whisperer……lol. God’s blessings always.

The trailer would look cute in that spot with a little fence. Very cozy. Good thing gas prices are coming down so y’all can keep it movin’. Happy Bday to your sweet boy. 41.36 is looking great!

Hi Roxanne- remember most veggies are 90% water- tomatoes, squash, cukes, watermelon etc- so dont skimp on water!!! Water plenty each time so roots grow down/deep- if you water too little roots come toward surface then Get damaged with the heat. Water, water, water!!!!!👍😁😁💕😁💕😁

Like the idea for the camper. Glad Wyatt had a great Birthday.

Love you little piece of heaven and lifestyle

I'm telling you the portable ac is the way to go. The one I have has an exhaust vent that would fit in the small window, it pushes all the hot air AND the condensation out the exhaust tube, I ran it in my room for 3 months straight and never had to drain it. When I finally moved it to my truck it had maybe 3 oz of water in it. runs on 110v, cools an entire room with 8000 btu. And can be easily moved, room to room while building and in the future when you may need a bit of extra cooling power in a room. Its on rollers so you can roll it side to side to get it out of the way of construction in the room you are working on. Its the perfect solution. The ac in the tub was a good try, but you forgot about the hot air. it might work if you vented the hot air to the other room, and ran it in the door way with a drape on the door and the ac over a bucket. but you would have to step around it to get into the room every time.

Roxanne you did just great with your garden 😀 😊 👍 😍

I love how your chickens love you.

I always pick my poke salad when there tiny they will come up early spring. One good thing about it you know that there so close you can see them!

Hi guys , it is so nice to watch good family fun with GREAT parents. love watching the chicken Guru.. You guys have gotten so far on your own. STRENGTH Health and Happiness to carry on. BLESSINGS FROM PUERTO RICO...👀U🙏

I love you doing 2 videos a week. It's good to see you and catch up with everything.

I love watching you with your chickens Anthony.

I think it's really cool that someone's going to teach you how to make Poke Salad. I've only had it a few times in my life and my mom and my grandmother made it. I've always heard that if you didn't know how to make it right, it would make you sick. But I think it would be a really cool video. It tastes sort of like spinach. The only way I've ever found to get rid of it was to pick the berries before they fell to the ground. Roundup won't kill it.

Have you considered setting up a compost bin to begin prepare for next years garden? An easy way to begin is to dump loads of leaves from the forest around your house and yard into the chicken run. The chickens will benefit by getting to find bugs in the leaves and they will deposit poo on the leaves and turn the leaves over and over so they will breakdown. Then as they break the leaves down you can rake it up and put it aside to continue to breakdown. Then repeat the process over and over again. Next spring you can add your compost into your beds and till it into the soil already in your raised beds. Another way I like to improve my soil in my raised beds is to cover the soil with flattened cardboard boxes (remove any tape) and cover that with straw and leave it until you get ready to plant in the spring. Earthworms love cardboard and earthworms are so good for you raised beds.

I’m so glad to hear that Wyatt had a great time at his birthday party. I am doing Roxanne, I would definitely get a book on the local plants that are edible. The way things are going in this country you might be able to survive on a lot of those things that grow around you.

Most people leave a couple of roosters with the hens so the eggs will be fertile and let the hens hatch out babies! Also, butcher your extra roosters and can or freeze the meat, yum!

Chickens love that poke weed.

El Ninõ is kicking our butts this year. I make those meatballs, lol, also the ones with grape jelly. Glad Wyatt had an awesome birthday.

Maybe fertilizer for your tomatoes and cucumbers? I have been using miracle grow on mine weekly, for now, and they are looking great. Miracle grow 20-20-20 right after regular watering. First year of trying this and very impressed. Gardening is frustrating but so much fun and rewarding. I love your enthusiasm Roxanne. Love your videos!

The camper might make a really cute garden shed with the white picket fence and flowers growing

That plant looks like a pepper plant Happy birthday to the little one he is so cute

So much polk salad--I'm jealous! lol Have cooked it for YEARS. But don't count on it being "here to stay". You see it in random places, but it's often on ground months after having been newly scraped. Don't pull it up by the roots--you want it to berry out so there'll be more next year. Clip only leaves, not the main stalk, and the plant will thrive a while. (Never clip or pull the berries.) I've had it come up "volunteer" in the yard or garden, and stay 2-4 years. Then, it's gone. NEVER eat it raw. I know someone who ended up in the emergency for room for doing that. Also, I've heard that you can strip the stalks & fry like okra?? Maybe another subscriber can shed some light on that. As for the leaves, I wash mine twice, leaf by leaf, pare boil for 1-2 minutes, only one time, then drain that water, and freeze in plastic bowls. I add water just to barely cover it & press Saran wrap down on the surface before putting the lid on, so as to avoid freezer burn. When preparing for a meal, I defrost it in the microwave, then put in a large pot, bring to a boil, then cover and cook slowly for 30-40 minutes, seasoned with plenty of bacon grease and salt. (Some like to stir in eggs when it's done, but I don't care for that. To each his own.) All that's left is buttered cornbread, a sweet onion, some fried pork chops or bacon, and a glass of tea! Enjoy!

lol. Anthony, the chicken whisperer

Hey. Great job on bath room. Appreciate y'all showing your work instead of just talking about it.

Cucumbers really should have something to climb on. If they lay on the ground, you stand a chance of them getting covered in the shade of the plants, leaving them yellow due to lack of airflow and sunlight.

I really enjoy the way you guys capture your journey. Keep up the great work!!

I love 🐔 🐔. And yours are beautiful and growing like weeds I especially love the ray rooster he his beautiful.

Hi Guys...enjoyed the video!... A lot of different things to watch!....Take care!

I use a little 'Mouse' sander. It makes sanding so much easier. It does not cost a lot. Just use a light hand so you don't take too much off. My son-in-law used a circular hand-held sander that had a collection bag, even better. You will not be sorry, trust me!

You should get the chickens some mealworms

Amazing how those chicken's are with Anthony I have never saw anything like that. My suggestion is work in the bathroom at night when its cooler sense it's so hot there.

Happy late birthday Wyatt

Loving these cooler temps. (Friday)

I love seeing the progress you guys have made on your property in the year and a half that you’ve been in Arkansas. Watching you and Roxanne working together and completing so many projects truly blesses me. Can’t wait to see you done and moving into your new home. 👏🏼❤️

Hi Guys. The passion fruit needs to turn yellow and they will shrivel up , and to make a drink from them you scoop out the pulp into water and let it sit for a day , then strain and sweeten to your taste. I grew up with them on my home as a child in the Caribbean. Enjoy . Ninette Bird- The Caribbean Wife

Simply love y’all !!! 🥰🤗🌹🍀

Boy those blueberries 🫐 😍 look great!!!

I've been thinking of meatloaf for breakfast. May try.😁 Grandma can throw a party!!

The chicken piper, lol!

The chicken whisperer!!

We never called it poke salad, we always called it poke greens!! My grandma would mix other wild greens with it, like lamb's quarters and dock. We always picked it in early spring, around the same time we hunted for morel mushrooms. Nothing tastes better than poke greens with a bite of corn bread, we always called it a poor man's spinach.

Happy Birthday Wyatt 🎁🎈🎂😘

Chickens are cool, they're my 3 rd favorite animal behind horses number 1 and dogs numder 2. I call water heaters hot water heaters, I think it is rude for people to tell you that it's just supposed to be water heaters because of whatever. Just my opinion, but people need to let people be themselves. I admire the work ethics you two display ond how well you work and parent together. God Bless you and your family.

I really miss the spring & poke. I loved to make fried poke stalks that my Dad taught me to do 45 or 50 years ago.

Happy birthday Wyatt! 🥳

You have beautiful chickens. I love them.

Happy birthday hope you had a wonderful day little man

Man o man Rox get that paintrollers ready its almost time whooop whooop 👍❤👊😎

HappyBirthday Wyatt!

Bathroom is looking good great job ❤️

Happy Birthday Wyatt

PASION FLOWERS ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES...

Anthony, you have spoiled the chickens the love you .i must try the meatball dinner looks YUMMY!

Great idea about putting, the camper in it's own spot. Visitors have their own space. Can you dig up some passionfruit vines to take back to grow in your garden.

Thank you for an excellent quick recipe, Anthony!

Beautiful kitty!! A piece of cardboard will work as well as straw.....and it's much cheaper! Those meatballs look delish!! I'll try them for sure!

Poke is usually found in disturbed and burned ground. I eat it and cook it, old pet use to take the root grind it up and take it to build up the immune system. Blood. Check out roots and herbs. We used them as a kid. My grandmother did a lot of forging and herb collecting. Those chickens look great. It won't be long before you start getting eggs. Are you going to be able to butcher those pet chicks? Wyatt was so excited about his birthday and I am glad he had a wonderful party. Roxanne try watering those cucumber more and give them some egg shell to help them some. Great video around the homestead!

I grew up having to eat poke...at least until age 11 when I was free of it forever! 🙂 We have it growing here in KY, and it brings back old memories...but it could be worse. I could still be forced to eat it. LOL

Love your vids. And love how you work together. Your chickens really loves you.

I love poke salad! After I cook it 3 times in water, I put it in a little grease, cook it down and then crack a few eggs in it. Stir until the eggs are done. Good eating! ❤ from Tennessee!!!
