I'm finding that free range till butcher makes tough meat. I did some in the coop and they turned out good. Next is going to be a chicken tractor. My thoughts are to limit their exercise. I'm also trying to breed CC with the Bresse. I just got a CC roo in with Bresse hens. I want to take those chicks and breed them together and I may have something. Project in the works!

I was actuly deciding between the buff orpington and the bresse chicken when I found this video you helped so much thank you

Can I use this method to store cheese, get some out as I need it, and then, put the rest back away?

Hi...is it possible for you to send me a dozen eggs to Kerala, India?

Beautiful !

Hello from Türkiye, we are far away really but it is nice to see that there are some farmers who breed bresse, I am not a farmer but I like to have my own eggs and chicken meet , I research and found bresse and I have some at my garden, your eggs looks very nice. I would like to see more video about bresse , I put eggs under other kind chickens and have some babies this season.

Hello, I’m Jimmy. Thank you for your information video. Could you complete it with who were the three haters you did business with and maybe your cost thank you.

How long have you been running after that chicken to be so out of breath?🤣

OMG you can barely understand what you are saying. The volume and your mono tone are at best (BAD).

que guapa

Zone 5 too. Trying sugar baby watermelon for the first time. Planted them 3 weeks ago and havent grown much.

just found your channel, nice videos hope to see more. i am also gardening in western MT

So these are planted, grow, die back THEN harvested? You can’t eat them as a fresh bean?

Can you share the breeders you bought them from please. Mahalo

I'll be buying American Bresse chickens within a month! I'm so excited! Have you found significant differences in the birds you purchased between the three different breeders? Examples I mean include significant size difference, or quality of meat, or number of eggs laid?

Dope video! Just got some myself, excited to start breading them out!

You are valuing that honey waaaay too cheap

Are the Calypso beans that have more brown color to them still good? Do they sometimes just discolored or do those not last as long? They're so pretty and I want to try to grow them this year! I loved watching you and your kids shelling, such a sweet moment.

I been breeding ABC for 2 years NPIP. Let me know if you need more chicks or eggs! Mention me in video. Is All I need….. very good video

Great for home. Bad for business, lol.

The VOLUME on your Video is TOO LOW :

very interesting. Maybe above ground/ no dig beds might be the go?

I've got so many rocks I consider my self more of a miner than a gardener 😃

Have you tried sifting after tilling to remove the rocks? 1/2" hardware cloth on a wooden frame. We're in a similar situation and it has worked wonders.

Do you use those rocks for anything or do they just sit around waiting to be moved again?

If you are attempting to form poor Earth without mycorrhizal fungus you are wasting your time. Nature has a way of digesting rocks and sand to create soil and to feed plants and you should follow nature's path. Forget about the rocks leave them where they are cover them with all the compost and organic material you can find with mycorrhizal spores, then plant whatever you want and enjoy

Great solutions to sandy soil !

I've got the same problem where I'm living and I can't even dig into my soil that's how much solid rock there is. It's just terrible

Great job 🥦🐝

Wow! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for math!"

Which is the best animal Kait??

Make note that your savings can be somewhat greater on the dairy goats and cows if you are churning your own butter, and possibly greater if you are into cheese making.

Did you save some to replant this year?

Wait. I'm supposedly in zone 5b but I have like 5 months between frosts ...not 100 days.

Feeding fodder will help keep the deworming down and help put weight on

Diatomaceous earth in all feeds

I wonder if you can use a pronged dutch oven/camp oven over a wood stove with small removable burner caps in replacement of a regular dutch oven

Hello from northwest Florida!

That was an extremely good breakdown of what it costs to raise animals. With a good camera assistant you can rule the homestead universe. I'll be watching more of your videos and will share them. You're a valued asset.

Great info, thank you. You mention watching KZbin videos on butchering but it’s impossible for me to understand the name, anyone catch it…? Thanks

Super helpful! Thanks.

Dr doom poultry lice and mite killer ,that is what I use a 15 second spray in the coop as the birds roost at night every 10 days and a bit of diatomaceous earth in the floor bedding and I haven't had a problem for five years now . Lost a lot of birds until I came up with this remedy. Remember it's the coop that contaminated the birds ,not the birds contaminated the coop . ❤

Thank you my little7 months old hen decided to go broody in October not sure if I should help her by moving her to a safe location but afraid she will abandon them she is behind our garage under an Eve we did put a tarp over head to keep the rain off her. Should I let her take care of the chicks when they hatch or let her take care of them completely?

WIll you marry me ❤

That was very good. One comment on goats -- a decent dairy goat ought to milk for ten months, just like the cow, and in fact (more in some breeds than others) it may be possible to 'milk through' two or more years without rebreeding, if you just keep on milking her. Also, it is possible to get goats that will average quite a bit more than two quarts of milk per day. You don't necessarily want the super-high producers (the ones whose mother and grandmother are on the top ten list for the breed), because they are producing so much that they require special care to maintain their health. But there is a good inbetween.

I often cook by placing the Dutch Oven or Cast Iron frying pan inside the wood stove, directly on the fire or coals. You often get a LOT of heat that way, so it's easy to burn food if you aren't paying attention. To learn this technique I'd recommend frying potatoes in a cast iron frying pan with a lid on it. Take it out using a hot pad every five minutes or so to observe how much heat the food is getting and to turn the food. The food will continue to cook for several minutes, using the heat in the cast iron frying pan. If more cooking is needed, put it back in the wood stove for some additional minutes. This is a good way to get some experience in this method of cooking in your wood stove. It's also good for baking and heating water, too. It gives you a lot more heat than cooking on top of the wood stove.

very cool teaching your children to cook at the young age!

Love this! I know it took a lot of work.
