Nice I’ll have to look into those if I can’t get the tail light situation worked out on this trailer.😂 Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!

Sorry already happily married.😅

Thank you and thanks for watching!

We didn’t. We only ended up using it one season and tried something different for the chickens so we could move them to new pasture more easily. We didn’t like that they were basically stuck in one spot for several months.

Helps to find a leak but it’s not much help seating a tire that’s totally off the rim.

​@@easyworkacresI don't know what I did then because it worked for me.

So far ive used 328ft of 11 strand netting plus a 2acre single line perimeter fence at the same time and it was still hitting in the 6-7k range on power saving mode. Was running both fences for at the same time for a temporary pig and main perimeter.

Never too late to get started! 2 years ago when we fell behind we just chopped up some fallen trees that had been down a while but weren’t laying in the dirt and they worked great on short notice. Just gotta make sure they aren’t fully lying on the ground soaking up water. Thanks for watching!

I’m a talker.🤷‍♂️😂

It held up well up until an 80mph wind storm blew through and caved in a small section on one side. Part of the issue was that it was literally standing alone in the middle of a wide open field during that storm. We did bend it back out but we ended up not using it again as a winter coop since it was hard to regularly move the chickens to new pasture with this set up. I think if it was at least up against a tree line or fence it wouldn’t have taken any damage but it stood no chance in an open field. Assuming the price hasn’t went up I still think it did pretty well given you make the modifications to sturdy it up a little.

@ great, thank u for that info! Very helpful.

Good thought! May flip it around and see if it slows down any algae build up!

The overstrike protector didn’t last long. Ended up getting torn off with just regular splitting. The axe and handle itself is still holding up great though! Have to say I’m still enjoying using it.

We used a floor jack like you use for cars to jack it up.

Thanks!

Those things are awesome!💥😂

Thanks for the tip!

I was going to but the roof ended up keeping the rain off of it enough to not need it!

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

My water tote is made of food grade plastic. The black should be fine. I painted mine because the sun shining through the clear plastic would increase algae build up. You’ll still get some but having a solid color holding tank helps combat it some. I’ve also heard putting a pice of copper pipe down in the water can fight algae off but haven’t tried it yet myself. I would think the trash bag would create wet air space that then could cause mold so would probably avoid that. And you can get a bulk head for a water hose on Amazon, as long as you elevate the can enough you’ll get water pressure to the hose from gravity alone.

Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!

Other people in the comments seem to have understood the directions okay.🤷‍♂️ We did the best we could showing what we were doing, but we are working with a live rooster that doesn’t care about our camera work.😂

1”x2” welded wire like this stuff right here. amzn.to/4gXKDny Thanks for watching!

We are still using ours and love it. Best method we’ve tried without having to constantly replace something.

Hope it goes smooth for ya! Thanks for watching.

Still working great for us too! amzn.to/4eGxJYW

Thank you and thanks for watching!

By the grace of god.😂

I’m not sure, it’ll depend on the size. But most steel barrels have a lid with a steel collar on it that you can remove.

Still going strong and happy to be out in the open!

Thanks for watching and good luck with your rooster!

That’s awesome, have fun with it!

This was around $150 on Amazon at the time. And maybe $50 in lumber and other materials max. It held up well up until an 80+ mph windstorm blew through and one side caved in on one of the uprights. It’s an easy fix and overall still standing but we’ve since changed how we winterize the chickens in our main coop and are planning to use this as a regular greenhouse as it’s intended for now. We still think it’s a pretty good product for the price especially with a few cheap upgrades. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

We actually did that with cattle panels. It worked but it was a pain in the but to move it to mow. And it didn’t look too nice either.😅 We got this for free for reviewing it but it has actually been good so far. Our dogs are never in it for more than an hour or two while their collars charge then they are free to roam the whole farm the rest of the time.

❤️

Never tried it

Just watched your winterize the coop video! Hay bailes under the nest box to reduce drafts. Now if you could figure out a way to prevent the eggs and water from freezing if you’re out of town for some reason

Thanks, this whole set up has done pretty well for us! In the winter time I buy hay bales and stack them up around the base of the coop and it helps a ton in holding in heat in the coop and blocking out wind. I move the coop a little less frequently in the winter time since it’s a bigger job with the hay bales but they do great. We are adding additional fencing so to give them more space so that should really help this winter too with them not being moved as much.

You can see in the the beginning of this video as well a plastic wrap I build around their water system that acts like a greenhouse and helps keep their water from freezing. That helps keep the water about 10 degrees above whatever the air temp is so it helps until it gets down to 25 degrees or less outside.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Yep done that one time and it was plenty enough to learn my lesson to pay more attention when popping it off.😅

It’s a food grade container that is drained by the chickens and refilled by the rain constantly. I’m not seeing an issue with it and my chickens are healthy.🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

I dig the idea because they keep pooping on it anywhere else I leave it.😂

I never assume I’m the first at anything.😂 never even touched a chicken before 2020. And yes I’ve had to clear the connection between hose to float valve twice in the last year from random blockages. Someone said throwing some copper pipe in my barrels will help combat algae build up in general though so I’m gonna give that a try and see if it works. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 🙏🏼

It’s been a pretty good kennel so far. We’ve had it a couple months and been good for what we’ve used it for. These two go buck wild when we let them out from the built up energy of having to sit still for an hour or two.😂

Plywood was my initial thought too but didn’t want to have to drill into the trailer railing. That’s what made me give the cattle panels a shot. They turned out working better than expected! Thanks for watching!

These were our first pigs. They are a lot of trouble and a lot of fun all at the same time.😂 Thanks for watching!

I use it mostly for pullets and it’s not too high for them. You could always trim the side walls down some to what you need though. I think if you were to trim it down it’d be better to use a cheap plastic oil pan rather than this rubber pan. The rubber pan might lose some of its rigidness ones the sidewalls are cut.

It’s pretty awesome and we are still using it. Made keeping the chickens watered so much easier for us.

Thanks for watching!
