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!!

Yes chicken is thru the roof, the chick's will love their new home 😊 The place will look so different with the bus gone😢 ❤️🇨🇦

@angeldawnmorningstar Жыл бұрын

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.

@pastureworks3773 Жыл бұрын

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.

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 KZfaq off grid channels, to learn. Love ya'll ❤

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.

When you are giving the price of raising chickens you should include the price of food and consumables like wood chips. They are definitely healthier and happier.

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!

Al, as a motorhome owner, I can't say that I agree with you regarding AC v DC in a mobile home, as if people are planning to use in any off-grid locations then they will need to use DC (batteries) as the power storage means. That means using an inverter to generate AC for the appliances and inverters are always inefficient in conversion process and there will always be some residual power draw by the inverter even when not being used.
