Chicken Circus!

Today is the annual chicken circus; moving chickens inside into the chicken winter house from their egg mobiles. When you have 400 laying hens, carrying chickens is a lot of work and we enlist our kids to help, and the Farmall H and 656 tractors as well. In the afternoon we start work on repairing the barn. This job includes replacing a rotted barn pole and some rotted beams, and jacking up a section of the barn that has sagged.

Never stop with the Dad jokes Pete!! They great!! 🤣

[@raybornclark8617]

just aint nothing like one man doing a 3-man job.....and not getting himself hurt or killed in the process of getting it done right....but that's the way we do things on the farm!!!!

[@hughvane]

Having worked on a poultry farm for a number of years in my youth, dare I suggest that you could utilise a drop-down flap at the door end of the winter house to load the hens through; and/or an improvised race with netting over the top, along which the hens could move, with some help from behind (a long stick, maybe with a plastic bag on the end). Food at the receiving end would help a lot.

[@johnlopiccolo8380]

Great to see Grace and Henry helping with relocating the chickens. Farming takes special people; Pete and Hilarie are good working together. I really enjoyed another video; now it’s time to begin reading your book, A Year and a Day. Stay well.

[@Jack_Rabbit_Ranch]

I like how your family works together

[@terrymabrey1467]

I live in North Eastern N.C. and really enjoy watching you channel every day. I have always had a hobby farm. I enjoy it very much. Thank you for sharing your farm life with us all. When i talk about watching your videos with my family they tell me you talk about Pete like he is a long time friend.

[@chrism.2231]

"Norwegian farmer loved hus wife so much he almost told her." One of my favorite Carson jokes. We had an issue with my daughter years ago getting a case of histoplasmosis. In short, it is an infection brought on by a fungus found in river valley's, bat poop and (drum roll) chicken poop. She never experienced symptoms. The first hint of it was scar tissue showing up in an x-ray for her braces. Scary as it was around her lymph nodes, so you can imagine the stress. Anyway, the likely candidate was her cleaning the coop, so she has managed to avoid it since and when I do it, I try and wear a mask. My 2 cents.

[@donbright3340]

Yes is a real risk,face masks are a good idea when in coop .

[@bretdavisdmd]

Is it me, or is the sound of old tractors really soothing?

[@johnkiragu513]

Very very soothing.

[@melvinolthof6881]

Its the only thing what make me smile old stuf old vihichles New is trash yall know it all the old machines stil work i bed the 2010 model from tractors are rotn away by now

[@tombstone3990]

Harbor Freight magnetic cup holder is great to hold your coffee on all your tractors.

[@jackbennettsr.3792]

Good ole farm work. I use a large fishing net to catch chickens, goes fast.

[@lbarnhill5493]

I hope to be watching your channel, long enough to hear your grandchildren holler, "hey grandpa, what's for dinner?"

[@princed47130]

Isn't that a LOT of chickens for that one winter house?!

[@jdp6ofus]

He mentions there's 2 outdoor runs and what he calls the top house - equivalent of a coop - where the nest boxes are, so they have much more space

[@dirtroadfarm.4024]

Looks like plenty of space to me. Ive had chickens for 15 years. Also yhey have an outside run so More the enough space 😊

[@brandoncox3227]

There is something about old tractors that are just so much fun

[@sergioresendez3474]

El trabajo en la granja hace a los jovenes mas responsables, despiertos y mas aptos para sobrevivir en sociedad. Felicitaciones, Pete! Saludos desde Mexico!

[@fatlarry1184]

...y el trabajo es igual en cualquier parte del mundo

[@peterschlater5756]

[@bobbailey4954]

We need to come up with a couple jokes for Hillary to spring on Pete

[@Kristian_Saile]

Great weather the past week in northern Michigan too. Was awesome to get caught up on tractor upkeep, barn door repairs and other stuff that feels good to do in short sleeves!

[@andrewpaige6571]

I really enjoyed watching you and your family prepared the winter hen house. I miss raising and watching my hens walking across the yard and laying hens there songs whenever they laid their eggs.

[@bl688]

Now Pete, I figured you would have a chicken ramp from door to door?

[@missyvereschagin-df5mh]

I live in steeprock manitoba Canada just a hobby for me keeps me busy and the ladies pay for there own feed witch is awsome people love fresh eggs . Again just love this show

[@andrewpaige6571]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video.

[@letstalkuk]

Surely there's another efficient way of transporting the chickens 🐔

[@JimMcCormick17]

Great video. Thank you for posting.

[@philmedell1399]

Ok, here is my favorite clean Dad Joke: How do you fix a broken Pizza? With tomato paste.

[@dafarm9814]

Great video. I also have chickens (and ducks). You should wear a mask with all the manure laden dust. Warm regards Doron

[@houghtonjeannie]

You should make a tunnel with chicken wire on top that way to can move them easy. Love all your videos

[@coyroberts8356]

Farmers were tougher back then they didn’t even have to drink! 🧐😆

[@tommcmillan3143]

Great show, had me learning and laughing!! Keep up the great work and sharing the smiles!

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Great video if you use the hydraulics on your tractor3 point hitch arms should pull the post out no problem. Have fun as allways

[@zarachastellaris9016]

Spot is gorgeous, I've never seen a rooster or chicken before with that feather pattern

[@999mackattack]

[@jediahcortez7822]

♥️

[@pizzawarlord9232]

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

That's what my kids do too!

[@doctorseafood9561]

Such a great video sir.. you enjoy your work thats impressive. 🙂👍

[@doug4320]

Hay wagons are excellent portable scaffolding for projects like your post replacement.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Great video Pete. Always something to be done at a farm eh! Right now I’m in leaf cleaning mode from all my huge 100 year old oaks and maples.

[@galen6499]

You could make a cup holder for all the tractors.

[@dustybottoms3834]

Here’s my dad joke.... if attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler 😁 great videos

[@ericpremchanjagdeo8588]

Wow that looks like fun I’m new to your channel and I’m loving it

[@princed47130]

[@northrungrader8937]

[@laststrawfarmkids6272]

One cow said to another "Be careful, that man in there just touched my udder!" The second cow said "How dairy"

[@dannyboy7086]

ask your dad to fabricate a portable cup holder LOL

[@dzintrarowe4272]

You are entertaining as well as knowledgeable.

[@markballard9300]

The jokes are a great addition! LOL Can't wait to see you winter house after you get the roosts added

[@vilhelmgrasbonde]

Your kids are awesome!! 🤟

[@pattieford1920]

Pete I LOVE your jokes. I was wondering if you have a well ? I really enjoy your videos. I think your Family is great. I wish I could get my Grandkids out of the City, and in the country. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@connorafflick7160]

[@donbright3340]

You made my day,love your jokes and working with you with old equipment.Good job on replacing post support.Like the family involvement..

[@ozzy1066]

You need to build some kind of tunnel so you don't have to catch chickens one by one that will help prevent them broken legs

[@MinnieAcresFarm]

Watching chicken circus is way more entertaining than a regular circus if you ask me 😂

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Sure is... I like to call it REAL reality tv.

[@pinoyfunhealthartsandscien9189]

That looks like so much fun!!!

[@bretdavisdmd]

Tell your dad to fabricate a mug holder for you for Christmas!

[@randallanderson8889]

The whole world is in apandemic, millions of comedians out of work, I loved Red Skel;ton, but, God Bless, even if but a moment we get to forget the world being shoved down our lives, maybe a{very} little humor is a God Send!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But don't give up your day job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You are doing a much better job raising family, cattle, and poultry. God Bless!

[@FHSU2007]

Love the Jokes Pete!! But I love the laugh even more🙂

[@nelsoncreekfarm]

Love the puns. Keep them coming.

[@Xforce61]

Is this what you'd call "winter chickening"?😉

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Isn't it funny how measuring by eyeball ALWAYS perfect ??😁😁

[@alanfujimori1127]

Thumbs up even with the bad jokes.

[@jampots1202]

Don't give up your day job with them jokes 😂👍🐔🐔🐔

[@vicioushanzo5740]

you could always buy a harbor freight magnet pan and glue the magnet to the bottom of your cup so it sticks to the tractor

[@bigtime37ja]

Luv the dad jokes, good work today.

[@paoemantega8793]

Ah the dad jokes - thank you for a very lovely video

[@real747]

Good job 👍

[@salmonhunter7414]

I just subscribed and I love your jokes.

[@timwagner9170]

Might have been easier to put air in that tire... and back those shacks into the big barns!

[@joebarwick7779]

Here in Oklahoma we can just close up the chicken wagons instead of winter house but leaving the south side open so condensation can escape my chickens roost up the rafters of my barn and the eaves are open they won't roost on my roost I made I found a old camper I'm going to turn into a chicken wagon thanks for another great video

[@ad1011000]

Pete is telling jokes 😂😂 he must be drunk lol

[@questioneverything4601]

I poor my used motor oil around all my wood posts. They last nearly forever.

[@Dreamydazefarm]

Bring on the muscle !!!! Great 👍🏼 Video

[@alexandert6489]

What you could do is you can use 3 or 4 board and just chase em into the winter house

[@laststrawfarmkids6272]

Again, what do you call a cow that doesn't produce? An "Udder Failure!"

[@freelandhill]

Great working farm videos

[@valeriepowell1736]

I love the chicken exchange...they'll be happy when there not freezing their feathers off. Loved the jokes I hope I remember them...lol. I'm terrible at that. What a beautiful sunset.... have a wonderful dinner. I'm writing your jokes down..... or going to watch this 10 times

[@100Ronster]

What type of jokes do farmers tell? Corny ones. :)

[@pixaxeprepper384]

I watched a video talking about the manure pile and what's in it. You mentioned chicken guts and feather. My question, the chickens you sell at market, who butchers them? I know the beef and pork is done by the butcher, but wonder about the chickens. If you butcher them, how do you wrap them and label? If the butch, thats the answer.

[@EdwardRichb52]

Love the jokes, nice touch!

[@anitaculp683]

This is to Hillary. He really thinks he’s funny right? 😂 😂 😂

[@thorproductions4708]

“Well there home for the holidays”

[@katieandkevinsears7724]

What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef! What do you call a cow with two legs? Lean beef!

[@TheStormisComing24]

The videos just keep getting better :)

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Thanks Bernie! Nice to hear from you!

[@mokpot]

loved the Dad jokes! ...and the video

[@dougcorrigan9677]

Jokes so unbelievably horrible that they were great!

[@richardcleasby105]

Your jokes made me laugh out loud!

[@chrisbrackett9779]

14:07 that’s a beautiful sunset

[@jeffstacy748]

Enjoyed the video. Battery tools and screws are a farmers best friend. Seems you have a variety of chicken breeds. We do too but I am learning there is some I don't care much for.

[@Cinder2008]

2:00 the chickens have regained their composure. Good thing.

[@chrisbrackett9779]

11:50 elephant, that was bad, really bad.😂

[@xpump876]

thanks for sharing your vids

[@barryspaulding4665]

i had a md farmall wish i still had it i sold it for 1500 dollars . it ran great that was back in 1970

[@bslturtle]

One word for you: clamps! Installing a sister with clamps is so much easier. Yet again, love your site ( oh and BTW, why do Indians wear feathers in their hair? To keep their “wig warm”. 🤪)

[@nix-2077]

Id like to see what your process for tractor restoration. About to do 2 Hs within the next year.

[@katewojo]

My Grandkids are going to love your jokes.Here's one more joke for your collection ---- Q: Why did the turtle cross the road? A: To get to the shell station! I didn't say it was any good, but I think you'll will get a chuckle from it! Lol!! Thanks again for another good video. I love when your lovely family is involved in the farm chores with you!

[@suzanebeavogui7485]

Please what do you feed your chickens they look so healty and big

[@justinkronaizl7954]

Just wondering do you guys do any gardening? Love watching your videos. Hi from South Dakota!
