I know the sacrifice of putting out content for us and I for one appreciate your efforts. I really look forward to your videos. Thank you!

[@kebergify]

"Just in case you get 40 Cornish Cross chickens ...it could happen" LOL. Jason & his sense of humor...emergency 40 Cornish Cross!

[@dianecharles881]

I love the idea of your chicken tractor, I’m going to share this to see if I can get one made . I already have the hard wear cloth back from a few years ago, just like you !

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Hi Jason! Great build! We currently have 100 cornish cross meat birds in an electric netting, but we have been thinking about building something movable like this for some layer hens. So that we don't have to worry about clipping their wings as often. Any recommendations if we modify this to add some nesting boxes? Thanks! -Ryan & Cara

[@irmibullinger1421]

You are so good at buiding stuff Jason! Well done. Blessings from TN

[@TOMMYBITESHOMESTEAD]

I totally understand up late every time I say I’m going to bed early

[@GossMania]

“Turn someday into today”. That a great looking chicken tractor. Keep pushing forward. Stay busy many blessings from our homestead to yours.

[@swancottage1929]

Thank you for showing homestead life...not doing an infomercial, predicting doom, or running a political rant! So many homestead streams I have unsubscribed! Thank you!!!

[@danielafurlan322]

This time of the year I call: Chicken time...wait to lock them up until get a bit dark. All look great Jason and Lorraine.

[@cheryllamb8831]

Jason I love that you care about how things on your homestead look. The new tractors look good & will be a nice step up from the brooder. The garden is beautiful and doing well Loraine, and you're still harvesting lettuce! Yes! The grass is much nicer now. I love how you all steward the land & animals. I really enjoy all your videos, so let me say thank you.

[@orchidlife9482]

Thank you for another stellar vlog! Love seeing how you guys are bringing that land back to life! Thx for staying up to edit for us-hope you get to catch up on some rest soon.

[@kaye2199]

Hey Jason, we find great success with turkeys by putting a couple baby chicks in with them. Turkeys need the chicks to teach them to eat & drink.

[@evalinawarne1337]

Good evening from MICHIGAN 👍🀄🀄🀄🌻🛐

[@SowtheLand]

Hello 👋

[@denisebozung126]

Love your videos showing the growth of your chickens. I'm also impressed with how much building of coops and pens you are doing. It's interesting to see how you are building corrals for chickens like the homestead previously had corrals for horses.

[@evalinawarne1337]

You made a great chicken coop Amazing how quickly they are growing. ALWAYS enjoy your family VLOGS.

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

Jason first I wanna let you know that I really value your videos and thereby, the time you spend putting them together for us. You do a lot of teaching in your videos and I thank you for taking the time to do that!! Second, that was a great bye I’m getting all of that fabric on sale 75% off at the end of the season even though you weren’t sure what you were gonna do with it or when you would need it, you just took a chance on it and now, with the high prices of everything, I know you’re glad you did!! Third, I like how you were able to utilize the board you have by ripping them in half & Still having a Sturdy enough chicken coop/tractor!! Again, with the economy as it gets higher & higher prices, you show people how to be efficient with what you have! Your turkeys are really beautiful. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen young turkeys that look as nice as yours so I was very excited to get to see them at that age. I’ve always seen older turkeys. Last, I think it is harder to get to bed early in the summer time. The only thing I can say about that having lived on the farm also he said come Winter, It’s easier to go to bed around 6 PM because the sun goes down at five and most farmers get their chores done before dark so it’s kind of a trade off. God bless you for how hard you work and all that you do in sharing with us

[@mikac3123]

I was wondering what you were going to put the turkeys in. The hardware cloth was an excellent investment especially during these times.

[@iartistdotme]

I loved seeing more personality showing, Jason. You are really fun to watch! Enjoyed seeing the clip with Mom/Daughter walking away and talking to each other. Sweet!

[@CleoCastonguay47]

I enjoyed watching this video. I must say, I enjoyed watching you build the temporary chicken coops. You are a meticulous and clean builder. That's what I appreciate. You take every job seriously and build it so that the end product looks good and neat. Great job! I like the steel pipe handle, it looks good and sturdy. Of course, the chickens don't care if their home looks good or not, but, they don't watch your videos either,,, we do, and we enjoy them.

[@CB-mt4kk]

Hello We love your channel and appreciate your attention to detail on your projects!. Keep up the great work!

[@hollyu48]

Sorry but I for one am so glad you stay up to edit. I just love watching your farm progress

[@marilynclayton3430]

I know it’s a lot more work but y’all look extremely happy in the transition. Thank you for taking the time to share and teach💚

[@terryhenderson424]

If we have the cash flow, we buy the lot when the prices are great (75% off is great even when there isn't a lot of inflation and availability concerns) and we are likely to use the items sooner or later. If nothing else, and we think we can/ will use it, we spend the amount a single would cost at full price resulting in extra quantity in the cart at no more cost than what we expected to pay when we entered the store.

[@lori8861]

Thank you so very much! This is just what I needed. A friend with a sudden health issue gave me his flock of 50 birds. And I am scrambling to figure out housing. This will work out great.

[@camicri4263]

The portable coops look great! I agree with you, they need to look nice! Good to see you guys! Yah I go to sleep late and every day I say it's going to be earlier and still 1:30am comes around ....makes me so mad.😂 I don't learn! 🤗🤗💜🤗🤗

[@barbarabrand190]

So much improvement in such a short time! The hard work is showing.

[@Iamclaudiamarie]

Very informative chicken, duck and turkey coop build video. Your farm is really coming along. You’re doing an amazing job. 👍❤️

[@freddking4389]

I like what you guys are doing. Fun to watch you guys and that is a big transition to make from properties. Keep up the good work and go to bed early!

[@deniseellenburg649]

Jason, you guys are doing an AWESOME job at the new farm. Love watching your progress!!

[@beverlyclayton1244]

Enjoyed your video! My husband says, “you are informative and don’t waste time! Your story moves along!!” Have a nice evening; go to bed early! Ha!!

[@djgriffin66]

Got 25 3 week old Freedoms in the shed at the moment in their 3 tote condo (cut holes in the sides of totes ;) ) First timer here - and in New Mexico... so no pasture... only got clay ground, some scrub and cacti in a large fenced area (also with electric fencing) which I need to create some shade in somehow before they get big enough to move into it... (we're using an old truck camper shell as one shaded area probably - but thinking it will be too much for me to tractor ;) ) So was thinking of an interim coop/tractor... but we're due to go into monsoon time soon (hopefully as we have a large fire near us atm - Hermits Peak) - so wondering how to build something to work with potential rain? Like adding a half floor one end they can get onto if it rains hard? & thinking of trying a chicken tractor on steroids set up ala Geoff Lawton with them.... i.e. making compost... so at what age would you let Freedom Rangers have a little more free ranging? & grateful for your timing on this ;)

[@hillarys.k8518]

You are a very creative skilled craftsman. Your farm is looking amazing. Lots of hard work and it shows . Maybe Lorraine could help you with some editing. I know it's very time consuming.

[@bravenewworld5200]

love your videos . i wish i had your resources lol i use free pallets and free old trampoline frames to build stuff . have a happy day

[@albennett9504]

love watching your build projects. you need a workbench though. my back felt for you working off the ground.......i'm getting too old for that.

[@OurTopPinLife]

Great video! We need to build us a new tractor! I can't believe you are on the concrete doing all of that with out a knee pad! That would kill me! LOL

[@PatricesProjects]

Jason, go to bed! Nice chicken tractors. Very smart to purchase a bunch of hardware cloth just in case you need it. And you need it, lol.

[@dorisgreenberg2811]

Going to bed early is a nice ambition, hardly happens as farmer types tend to find more to do all the time. Course throw in editing and there you are. Love your sharing your life. It’s a grand life and the Lord is blessing you and us too. Thanks!

[@Cindyfromaz]

Love having a video every day. You work very hard and your homestead is looking great!

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

So exciting to see the transformation of your new property!

[@pamwagner5225]

I don't know what camera you use...but your videos are so vivid! I love it. Keep up the great work. *Pam*

[@georgebasonathan4784]

Good video!!

[@SasquatchBioacoustic]

I say that every night, too. Then it's 11 o'clock and I'm still watching your videos.

[@nancyseery2213]

Growing is a good thing! By the time fall gets to your new home you won't even remember not living there. God bless and keep growing.

[@sueellenknowles2989]

Jason you are such a joy to watch!

[@lynnpasteris4362]

Jason…you make it look so easy! Made it pretty also! Love watching your videos.

[@villagesteader3552]

It’s fun watching you build your new homestead! ♥️

[@debrezo58]

Love the new chicken tractors!!! And yes your grass is looking beautiful 💖💖💖

[@onceuponatinyfarm]

I love it, looks great, might need to use those plans and make one of my own 👍

[@cindyfeh]

I enjoy watching your journey...one of my favorite channels hello from Ontario Canada

[@janninehaslam9204]

Just want to say a huge thank you for your wonderful videos. You've really inspired me to grow more of my families food. Really appreciate all your effort Jason and family xjx

[@leahr.2620]

Those pigs made me laugh when Lorraine was trying to get the scraps in their feed bowl. 😁

[@pamelawilcox9035]

You put that together quick and it looks 👍 👍

[@BUTTEWORKS]

Great video, lot of work filming and editing. Great content!.

[@Nannylinda]

Want to say thank you for the videos!!! 😄😄😄

[@marking-time-gardens]

Wow! Nice build! Blessings from Holland Ohio!🥰🌻🐛

[@wreathscraftsbylena]

Enjoy your videos & watching your family’s life on the farm. Great chicken coop! I grew up on a farm, best experience of my life, so had to cringe when you said 6 lbs., my dad would not eat a store bought chicken or one that weighed over 3 lbs! You have a beautiful family! TFS

[@wendyhall8834]

I always look forward to your videos! You guys are doing a fantastic job!

[@bingo45373]

I was just thinking some times if they are raised together they won’t mate but that is very rare but it happens you might need to get another pig

[@rsoubiea]

wow! fancy, I love the addition of the handle! very nice, it looks pretty.

[@IrisAugustHill]

Very cool! I appreciate that you used the word pretty! Lol. I too would want the things I make to look nice! You did a great job as usual!

[@IdaBrown]

Your farm is really looking great. It's really impressive.

[@GoodTimesHomestead]

Thanks for the cool chicken tractor plans!

[@michelleackerson4524]

I don't have any meat birds, but I want to get my dh to build me a couple of these for my layers so they can be on grass. Thank you for an instructive video :-)

[@TruthSearchingiAm]

You make building look so simple! 🧰🥾🥽🏚️🏠😊

[@ryanchaloux360]

Having a concrete pad is a game changer for building stuff. Thanks for sharing, great work.

[@dacwebb]

Love the new chicken/turkey/just in case tractors!

[@terryhenderson424]

I like the actual handles your portable chicken coup designs are starting to have.

[@patriciabenavidez-munoz8078]

Hi from California 👋

[@halilbalaban1056]

Hi Jason. I really liked your chicken tractors. I'm watching you from Turkey. Dude, I want to make one of your chicken tractors. However, I do not know the dimensions of the chicken coop. Can you write me the dimensions of this coop?

[@rowman12]

Good job Y'all!!!

[@kalinbankov9737]

Hello! If there are long periods of rain, for example 4-5 days, and the pasture is soaked, how do we keep the chickens from getting wet and sick while in the chicken tractor? If we don't have a dry shed built nearby, is there a solution related to the construction of the chicken tractor?

[@StevenK1967]

Would you build one and SALE THEM.I definitely would buy a couple. Let me know SIR. Thanks

[@StubbsMillingCo.]

I have 1 2x4 in my stick frame for my coop that is Twisted and crowned 42 7 different ways😂😂😂😂 I LOOK AT IT AS SOON AS I COME OUT THE BACK DOOR EVERY DAY!!!!!!!
