I’m dying laughing over you calling them “people!” “People start getting killed- we’ll move them back in..” lol

[@andrewstanford7573]

I've even stepped on people and killed them lol

[@amyb5339]

Way to go Mr Brown helping Papa! Turkey wrangling like a pro! You've come a long way from the Ergo! All I've heard about turkeys is they're fragile and flighty. I feel like with all the predators and no goose, dog or donkey, I'd need to build an aviary on wheels kinda like and enclosed sheep shaw. That could be the next hot thing to build.

[@chantaln6843]

Gideon has really benefited a bunch by hanging out with Dad. He has learned a lot just by watching. He’s becoming a real big help keeping up with the homestead…. Bravo Justin for being a great role model.😊

[@camicri4263]

Thank you Justin! That's awesome and it is also encouraging to see that even doing it for a longer time, things happen and you need to go back to square one! It's okay, not the end of the world!❤🤗❤

I love your saying "Ask Mr. Google Pants" for additional info. Iv'e been watching your channel for about a year. I have learned soooo much from you.

My hen turkey hatched and is raising what i thought were Silkie chicks but they are Bantams. Shes very gentle and protective of them.

[@OurOkieHomestead]

I use 150 gallon rubbermaid water tank as a brooder. Learned real quick the little turkeys can jump! Chicken wire bent over the top is working to keep them in. I need a turkey shaw. Just big enough to place in 1 of the gardens during winter.

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

You treat your animals like peeps, and they grow up happy and healthy so no worries about your wording. I love the motto - they should only have ONE bad day.

I had a friend that called all animals people. Nothing wrong with it. Shows your compassion, they have personalities and feelings.

I usually trim the wings of my chicks before putting them outside. Little ones are surprisingly good fliers.

I'm relatively new to raising meet turkeys however I give my chickens and turkeys zucchini from the garden As a treat and I have been told that it is an actual dewormer I guess not a 100% sure but I give my birds zucchini every now and then

Hey @Justinrhodes I’m curious, we are in Virginia and the ticks are awful making my time outside not enjoyable. I see you kneeling and walking in that tall grass, do you have to worry about them ever?

at 24-25 min when trimming the grass you should have eye protection , i know this because i had safety glasses on and a rock hit my glasses with a large bang , so pleased i wore glasses.

do you have a smoke detector in you chicken brooder if not it would be a good idea it may save you a disaster with an early warning before a fire can take over

I tried growing my first batch of meat chickens in my house in an extra bedroom. That was based on your advice. That was bad advice it stunk something terrible.

We love turkey and cook at least 1 a month. So many good recipes for the leftovers and it freezes great. When you are down to cooking the bones to remove meat easily for soups and pot pies you can also make great tasting stock and broth for future meals. There's a whole lot more than just a Thanksgiving meal when you cook a turkey!
