@diabeticnomad I wondered the same thing. There's a fan a ways away from that area in the wall and not the blowing in the direction it flew off the shelf. I really don't know how it happened.

@Coopdeville06 Good to know. I, too, researched it after he said that and it said it hurts and causes pain but no deaths and only more harmful in smaller animals and children.

I'm definitely learning more about wildlife predators being on my homestead. And each new one I learn about, I take matters into my hands for future prevention. So now I tried to carry a stick around with me when I can. I'm also thinking about getting snake guards for my legs.

@@TinyDreamer watch out for them they come out especially when it rains it's so hot in Alabama we get a good rain or tornado it's drying up already they start to slide we had to go get our water from the pump we didn't wear shoes they would be out God kept us from snakes and getting sick or worse

@kimberpix4837 Thank you so much for that. It really is hard work. I do miss living in my tiny house, and I will eventually move back in. But I'll still have the property, which means I'll still have all that landscaping and maintenance to do as I built up my homestead community. But you are right...it never ends. 🏡🐔🥚

@@LavendarRoses I actually found it again in the mulch pile. It's no longer there.

You're welcome!

@karmacommon5468 Hello. If you've been following my journey, you would know that those wood chip piles are a part of what is to become the community. Using those wood chips to form garden paths, produce garden paths, to put in areas to keep down the weeds. It's all a part of the upkeep and esthetics of the community. 🙂

The urine goes out through a blue pipe stubbed out through the bottom of the tiny house. You can do various things from there.... You can connect it to septic or sewer, Connect it to a gray water holding tank and then dump it... Or you can drain it into a filtration system into the ground Using rocks, sand and other filtering items.

@@yesidtac7863 gracias!!

@YllaStar95970 Thank you!!! 😊 omg, you are correct about that grass mowing..goodness! 😳😅😊

It is stubbed out the bottom of the house and can be handled several different ways....pipes leading away from the house into an in ground drain of some sort, diverted into a gray water tank and then dumped at a dump station or connected to septic or sewer.

@aranzazuarambula2868 I did what had to be done in the situation that I was in. Now that I have my own property, I can make a proper compost pile for it. But a year ago, I replaced the compost toilet with a regular flush toilet to make it into an airbnb for the time being. Once I move back in, I still have the toilet, so I can switch it back out and compost correctly.

@lindaselby5546 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! 🏡😊

@LavendarRoses Hi Leanne! Thank you for telling me you changed your name. I see the same photo so I may have wondered if you didn't say anything. Thank you so much...I'm glad the guests are more comfortable too! I will probably move back into the tiny house once.I have another rental or two built. So it might be a while. I'm missing it though. ✨️💕

@@TinyDreamer yes my photo still remains the same and I wouldn’t want to change it. That was my beloved Cleo who passed 3 years ago at age 19. I miss her dearly but I have three remaining cats. They are all under 10 years old. Oh I didn’t know that you are planning to have another place for AirBnb rental. What type of rental site do you have in mind? Another tiny house? Remodeled RV?

@@CrimsonRose29 Yesss! Lumpy oatmeal lovers unite!! 🎉👊 😅 I've not tried lumpy oatmeal. I'll have to do that!

@OdinsCloud Thank you so much for the compliment! Glad you enjoy! 🏡🐔🥚♥️

Thank you! I too feel I waited too long to clean it. And I refuse to use bleach on anything... So that left me with a more natural way of cleaning it. After I cleaned it, I still ended up getting rid of it and replacing it with a berkey waterfilter. 😔

@@TinyDreamer I understand the bleach fear to some degree but it rinses out pretty easily and it breaks down very quickly. In all honesty i would consider environmentally friendly. Bleach is sodium hypochloride and it breaks down very quickly in to NaCl & H20 which is salt and water. So as long as you are not pouring it into ponds or using very excessive amounts it is fine. Using a sodium hypochloride solution to disinfect a cooler or lines should be very effective and will quickly break down. I flush by using 5 gallon jugs ( 2-3 fills) full of fresh water and the water tastes / smells the same as from the jug directly. I am not saying this for you so much as for others because a bleach solution is very effective and very safe if done correctly. I took particular interest in your channel because I am in the process of making a property of mine autonomous / off grid capable. I brought in electric service (paid $) but want the property to function comfortably without service indefinitely when/ if needed.

@kimberpix4837 Thank you! After that day, they got used to each other rather quickly and rarely get pecked away now. I love how they all get along. 🥰🐔🥚

@gloriairizarry4576 Thank you for watching. I'm so glad you enjoy it. I can't wait to do my first hanging with the hens with the new chicks. There are chickens everywhere now. Lol

@terrim.602 yes, they are great toilets. I kind of like the idea of the outhouse, too. I may just incorporate one into my community! Thanks for the idea! 😊

@peterrudy9207 I'm so overwhelmed by these weeds still, I may just do a weed service one time to get some control back. Then I was going to look into vinegar to continue maintenance from there.

@@TinyDreamer Yes , get this " cleaning " vinegar at Home Depot / Lowes and Hardware stores . Said to best spray it on hot sunny days .

Thank you!!! Yessss, most of the work is done. Now just to maintain them.

Virginia sounds like an amazing place to own land. I do love my property here in Tennessee though. I imagine to add more buildings I would have to contact the county. Which I'll do when I'm ready.

😅😅😅

Thank you!!! 😁

Boric acid kills plants.

Really good to know, ill look into it! Thank you! 🤗🌿🌱

I'm cracking up!! 🤣 I just played this video from 5 years ago.. One of my first videos... and Yes absolutely boring, you are correct. So funny 😁 😂 Thank goodness, my videos have gotten much better!

Thanks! I think they love the difference. It's still really warm in there but it definitely helps! 😊🐔🥚

Thank you!! Lots more to go but im up for the challenge! 😁😊

Thank you very much, Linda!! 🥰♥️

They love it! 😅🐔🥚♥️

Thank you kindly for saying all that. 😊♥️ It really is a lot of hard work, but i'm gonna keep pushing through until it'll gets done, and my vision comes together. I am so grateful that everything I have envisioned has come together so far. 🥰 And I only know its going to get much better! Manifesting dreams!! Thank you for your kind words about shelby. 🙏♥️

Thank you so much! Definitely hard work but its coming along. Thank goodness. It's sad when the chickens pass away. Especially when i dont know why they did. 😔💔🐔🥚

The size of my single wide mobile home is 15 x 52 feet making it 780 sq ft.

In my personal opinion and experience with this salt... It did not work. Right now my paths are filled with weeds. And this is all after the salt project. I've had a couple people tell me that when I mow the lawn, those weed seeds get into the gravel.... As well as when the gravel was delivered, there was weed seeds in the gravel to begin with. Now I am tempted to use some kind of stronger solution to kill the weeds, but like you, I am wondering if it's going to seep into the ground as the water flows down and get to my other plants. So I feel like I'm stuck again with all these weeds. And I don't know what to do.

@@TinyDreamer I saw something about a water, vinegar, salt, dishsoap solution

@alishaberrey4479 yesss, I saw that too...problem is, The time that I did it, it cost me so much money to buy several gallons of vinegar and it didn't even last long. So I just kept spending more money and more money, buying more vinegar. 😔

Thank you Kari! I'm really hoping, too! 😔🐔🥚

Thank you!!! 🥰✨️🌿🌱🪻🌷🌼

Thank you! 😊🌿🌱🌿

Thank you! The urine pipe is stubbed out the bottom of the house. You can divert it into sewer ir septic, a separate holding tank and then dump or create a ground filtration system using things like rocks and sand in a hole to filter it before it goes into the ground. Similar to a septic system and leech field.

Interesting, I had no idea. I also had ventilation problems in the house so its very possible. I ended up getting rid of this water cooler shortly after this video and gor a berkey system.

You are very welcome! Hope it helped!

Yes, a fan is also on them. It's cooled down since we had some rain but it's going right back up the next whole week.

Yayyy! So glad you enjoyed the video! Is the girl's love when we hang oit. Especially when I have treats. Lol. Owning chickens has been such a joy for me. There will be times when I'm just sitting in the house doing nothing and I go out there several times a day to check on them and see how they are doing. 🥰🐔🥚

@@TinyDreamer You are such a kind, loving, and caring chicken-mama! So sweet to see your interactions with those very loved and well-cared-for hens. Don't know how you remember all their names and which one is which! hehe 🤪

@kimberpix4837 Haha, thank you!!! 😊 They are all different...each one looks different so that's how I remember their names...even the girls that are the same breed, all have some feature that's different from the others. I do have to find the feature in order to realize which one i'm addressing. -Phoenix and Emaline both have feathers on their feet but Phoenix has a floppier comb. -Lydia and cozette are the same but Lydia has a redder and straighter comb -Darcy and Zoey both the same but Darcy has smaller designs on her...plus I added 2 more...Sylvie is huge as a 14 week old chick... I actually thought she was a rooster. But isn't. And Tokyo, has different design too. -Hazel Is the head hen... She is a bigger ISA... But I added three more...Scarlet is mostly red, piper is mostly white back and Ginger has some cool design on her -Echo is gray and a prairie bluebell egger but I just brought in two olive eggers that are also gray.... Willow is a lighter grey and she has furry cheeks.... And Meadow looks similar to Echo but she's a lighter shade of gray. I do get echo and meadow mixed up at first glance. Lol. -Fiona is really light gray -jinx and karma are both black but jinx has feathers on her cheeks and karma doesnt..although 2 different breeds. The rest all look completely different...Josie, Gracie, lorelei 🤗🐔🥚

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you for watching! This is part 2...I did a "hanging wirh the hens" video a while back. 🥰🐔🥚 Stay tuned for part 3 😁

Gracias 😊
