We tryed to find the video again about the shirts but no luck, what size shirts do you like to wear.

[@heatherd.9390]

Sheriff Skeeter on the case. Whether it's chickens or a length of rope, nothing is gonna happen without his approval! He cracks me up, lol. Heather🇨🇦

[@lockedin60]

Skeeter is comic relief. He made tears come to my eyes. He needs his own Hidden Heights T-shirt!

[@JeannetteShoreland]

Glad you explained that it is normal for this breed of chicken not to be full-fledged.

[@ninjawithagunson3909]

I like that Rachel put the flag on your chicken tractor

[@maryschultze624]

Skeeter is trying to help... toooo cute. The kids act like they are enjoying themselves as well! Nice chicken tractor

Gotta love Skeeter. Tenacious little dog.

[@virginiaalexander4999]

So glad to send the kids to wash their hands. You have good kids .

[@kellythyr364]

Kevin Next time you have to move that chicken tractor.. Get a two wheel dolly for moving boxes & put the plate that's on the bottom of the dolly under the frame at the door... Pull back on the dolly & you will be surprised how easy you can move that little building .. Good luck my friend...God Bless

[@RedRiverRedNeck309]

Kevin it might help on the front corners of the 2X4's to cut the edge off so it want dig into the ground as you try to pull it. Put rabbit wire around the bottom for the quail and it will also help with the snakes. Well it looks like you may already have it.

[@ladyhog56]

I really love the American flag.

[@seandeheer8650]

I just want to say thank you for flying the flag on your chicken coop, even though it is a small one it still shows your pride one our country which 3 of my Military brothers where killed in OIF 06-08 with the 127th Military Police Company from Hanau, Germany, now they are at Ft. Carson, Co.

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

Thank you for your service.. Sorry to hear about your brothers

[@KaleidoscopeJunkie]

Kinfolk Farm of Georgia - Shane raises quail in a high tractor. A little different style but outside. I've followed John Suscovich since he started. Good guy !

[@whats_herName]

your scotty dog is so funnny! He keeps watching and observing, really checking things out like something's going on like "are they going to do that to me? stick me in a wire crate?" funny!

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

We sure do love working with family too!

[@marilynmarilynohearn476]

I love how your wife helps you. Lovely to have s.upport

ENJOYED YOU COW BOY DOG LOL LOL

[@Zinnias2go]

I was just wondering what is wrong with those chickens 😂🤣😂 glad you explained it...the look on Rachael’s face talking about them was hilarious 😆 I don’t know if I could eat them! 😁🙈😜

[@simplymeconnie4003]

Rachel, I am impressed that you don't always have your hair tied up! I too have long hair and it's ALWAYS up in a pony tail because of the wind whipping it in my face :)

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

Thank you!

[@pennynewell3459]

I love the chicken tractor and the flag attached.

[@marionward5958]

Skeeter looked so cute trying to pull the chicken tractor

[@dollymelnychuk1299]

Very good. Never seen a chicken coop tractor. Like like it, and it moves, cool. Awesome to see the kids helping, lol, and the dog. Keep safe.❤🙏👍

[@marygordon3032]

Kevin you and Rachel work hard for your animals,it will pay off well. Blessings! 💯

[@lindanichols7296]

Well they’re definitely aren’t pretty birds, but they will be yummy birds before you know it. Skeeter was so cute tugging on the rope trying to pull the tractor.Skeeter is a sweetheart for sure. You guys have a wonderful Memorial weekend and stay safe and Kevin be nice to Jason.😂😂😂 JK Gob Bless. 👍🇺🇸

[@leann4925]

Nice job on the chicken tractor and the chickens look to be ok in it. Great family project in moving the chickens. Thanks and do take care.

[@danielirvine3109]

keep it up it's good for the kids. moor people need to do it .

[@jeannecooke4862]

Really nice! Thank you!

[@shirleylash196]

Skeeter would make a good dog if he weren't so little. He could not scare a predator, but he sure could alert someone to danger.

[@LadyJ5569]

The new tractor residents look pretty happy in their new home. Meat chickens are a whole different species. Beautiful work and family time. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Skeeter says it's my rope, all rope is mine. 🇺🇲🌎🇺🇸

[@maryhansen5816]

I love Shane of Kinfolk Farm of Georgia. He has nice tractor type for his quail, he puts bushes inside them for his quail to hide in. Love your videos.

[@PaullaWells]

I sincerely pray for absolute success with your second run on meat chickens. It could become a lucrative source of income for your farm in the future. I know we would come over to Oklahoma to purchase chicken from you guys for sure. We live in town thus we cannot raise meat chickens.

[@conniebennett180]

Really like that chicken coop!

[@colletteboland2984]

Nice touch, with American flag. I've 2 children American god bless them. Jesus christ our Lord loves us all amen.

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

Amen!

[@tiffanieclinkinbeard7170]

Skeeter loves that rope! It was so funny when you threw the rope over the chicken tractor and Skeeter ran around to the other side to get the rope. Btw I've seen a guy move one of those tractors by putting the rope over his shoulders and holding the rope. He suggests gloves. I thought it was interesting

[@lindamarquis6117]

I like your chicken tractor design . I like watching the whole family get into the action. Your children are such great helpers. They show no fear moving the chickens for you .Perhaps the meat birds were created ugly so it would not be so difficult butchering them. Anyway it is nice that they are out on the grass .Skeeter really wanted to help too.LOL He was a real cutie in this video.

[@sandyc6569]

Love this family!!

[@kimberlyfojtik3468]

Awesome video. God bless.

[@susiefarnell785]

Skeeter is so cute trying to help lol

[@rebeccaocker2106]

Love chicken tractor

[@penningtongardenlife5350]

Hey guys I’m sitting here with my grandson, Sonny bubbles (age 2) he sees the feeder chickens in the new runner and tells me he wants to eat the chickens. I guess you had to be here but oh my goodness it was so funny, James and I both rolled laughing. 😂😂

[@chelemichele1524]

I would add another set... if winds are that bad.. Have a wonderful weekend 🌻🌻🌻

[@galelenz9827]

might want to put some tarp on the ends to keep the rain from coming in on them just roll it up to let sunshine in, love your chicken ,

[@colletteboland2984]

I love watching yer shows, god bless ye all, from Ireland.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

I love that tractor!! I need one for my lambies!

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

The sky is the limit... I'm pretty sure Idaho will let you build one! Get busy..

[@bettychristel9483]

You know that you can process them by hand. That is how we did it 60 years ago. We didn’t have fancy plucking machines. Still place them in hot water just have to pluck the feathers off by hand. All the kids had to help plucking.

[@susanmarsh2856]

Aaah Skeeter is such a hoot! He has everything worked out and knows exactly where his expertise is required and when. He is gorgeous. I am not local but my understanding is you can’t get some torrential rain. Would you consider coving the rear of the tractor to provide cover during storms? A couple of broomstick handles foe perches in the wet? Sowing The Land has larger removable wheels for ease of use. If you put a piece of old hose tubing or something like narrow reticulation pipe it will be easier to move the tractor.

[@robertadurnan8082]

God Bless All of You.

[@kristenjones5527]

Love the family working together. Beautiful chicken house.♥️♥️♥️

[@kathymcleod1460]

I used something similar for my quail. I used hardware cloth instead of chicken wire. Quail aren't too bright so I found it was easier to scoop up my 20+ quail into a tub, move the tractor, then put the quail back. The quail loved it and even started to make nests. I loved sitting inside with them. Unfortunately neighbour complained and bylaw made me rehome them.

[@deeitsmee]

Good job with the new chicken coop ! Looks great too. Franken chickens ;) lol

[@Lightz1up]

Love the teamwork with the whole family and words of encouragement with the siblings. Love your family. Thank you for sharing your life. I like your chicken tractor.

[@TBConl]

This has become my favorite channel. Wish you much success.

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

Thank you

[@gaylef3477]

Love watching your videos, always something going on at the farm. Your Skeeter dog is a hoot.

[@Rowdymotmot]

Great chicken tractor. If you think about the quail check out Kamp Kenan. He keeps snakes and reptiles and uses a rubber coated wire for his cages. The wire keeps his monitor lizard from eating his neighbors ( which he did one time because of a little hole in the fence.) It might work for your quail and keep the snakes out. If putting quail in the chicken tractor I would put a double screen door like they do at zoos to keep them from flying out or using some sort of bug screening you have to go through to get to the birds or leave the birds. Just something to keep them from flying out of the door. I like Rachel's idea about putting them in the chicken tractor.

[@GaryB33]

Nice chicken tractor. You can put a 2 wheel dolly under the front to move the tractor. Have a Great Day, GOD BLESS

[@angelsarrived2642]

On another channel I saw they put on the rope, a dollar store pool wacker. It made it easier to pull the chicken tracker., Looking 👍 good. G-D Bless and Stay Safe.

[@terrymangum3914]

The chicken tractor look very nice Kevin.

[@linmetcalf5468]

You've done a fab job on the chicken tractor, if you use it for quail you could put a small house in there to lock them up at night

[@patriciabrown3326]

I like this chicken coop design! I like being able to walk in as well.

[@jacquelinebaker9458]

love seeing a family work together makes you stronger .that's anice job on the chicken tractor and being over seen by your little skeeter LOL stay safe and god bless you all thanks for sharing

[@darlenedouglas5148]

Skeeter has such a great 👍 personality!! He's so awesome 👌 of a FAMILY member 💙 to have fun with!! Do you think that just one strap will hold it?? Nice to see that the kids were out taking 👌 part in the moving. I think that the quail will enjoy being in there once the meat chicken is done. If you could figure out how to keep the snakes out from the bottom. Could you put a small perch up on one side for the quail to get up on???

[@mindymcintosh9865]

I like that design. Wheels are really good idea 👍

[@dawnweck]

I always enjoy your videos. Always interesting and good content and more importantly some laughs here and there. Good job

[@OwlCreekHomestead]

Thanks so much for the shoutout!!

[@elisaalber]

Don't forget to do the lower sides. Just in case of side wind rain! Dutch forgot to at first and lost one of his chickens!

[@sofreak6]

Go skeeter, and mojo. Great video

[@crowgirl1326]

Nice chicken tractor.

[@AjMoore-fg4wb]

GREAT video guys!! Love seeing the family together and kiddos helping out ;-)

[@adventureswithmawmawtina4879]

I'd put wheels on the front too.

[@AllieCat58]

Hope you pay that little fella farm hand in biscuits lol 🐕🐕

[@charlottesmart750]

You did a great job on the chicken coop. You really knock out the projects

[@sandrathomas2145]

Kevin I may not heard you correctly but I thought you said great grandpa Bays. The only time I have heard that name is my Uncle. He was a Bays but they live in West Virginia. They should like their new home Dutch's looks like the are happy. That is the best tractor I have seen in all of the videos I watch.Not only do you and Rachel have the children to help you also have Skeeter lol.

[@lockedin60]

Kevin have you considered (shou sugi ban) to treat wood. You burn the wood or smoke the wood and it preserves the wood without using chemicals. "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" yt channel used that method on their wood portion of their house build. A lot of people are trying to use less chemicals for the environment and the safety of their children. You can use it on cedar, cypress,ash, oak, maple and pine.

[@cynthiavanderscoff]

Yes, I agree the chickens were cute when they were chicks but now not so much!! You made a very nice chicken tractor for them!

[@donnagriffith839]

Maybe put a handle on each side like a whirl barrel. To be able to move the chicken coop. Never raise chickens myself but it was just an idea I had while watching you.❤️

[@paulinelarach938]

Excellent family project!! pull robe needs length to keep off heels.

[@maryw970]

For the quail in that can you use screen wire all the way around it. The hang their laying boxes on the sides. Move them around like you would chickens.

[@2chihuahuamama995]

The chickens look as though they've outgrown their clothes 😁

[@kevchard5214]

Kevin I live in Oklahoma also so I know how destructive the wind can get here. A trick I have learned to make your tarp last a little longer is put nylon webbing like on a ratchet strap over the tarp every 3 to 4 feet and nail it down to the wood sides. This stops the wind from getting under the tarp and ripping it to shreds and pulling out your grommets in the first week.

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

Good idea!

[@LC-qj5tz]

Skeeter something else trying to earn his keep lol, that's one nice chicken coop . 👍

[@joanneganon7157]

Your Tractor turned out nice. Hi kiddos👋🌰🌰, Have a great weekend! JO JO IN VT 💕😄🇺🇸

[@candidethirtythree4324]

So true, dogs want jobs and if you don't give them a job they will give themselves a job. My son has a Chihuahua who takes his jobs very serious, jobs he gave himself. He is so funny, he stands up next to my chair, makes a noise that sounds like clearing his throat and flicks his head in the direction of what needs doing like add water or food or change the piddle paper...and since I would say, "pew pew" when I changed it, he now tries to say it, it comes out "shew shew" LOL. He goes in the bathroom and watches the door while we go to the bathroom...if anyone tries to open the door, he runs at the door, throws himself against it to close it and barks! My son's other dog is always up to no good...I am pretty sure because she has no jobs LOL.

[@julieb9215]

Awesome chicken tractor. Could even double as a small greenhouse for plant starts next year. Many years ago I saw a KZbin video on building a chicken tractor. Person put fold down wheels on one end to make it easier to move. Could be an option for the front end of your chicken tractor.

[@jeanettec6212]

Great job kids!!! I like that! It looks nice there! To bad it doesn’t have removable wheels in front to move it easier maybe you could make a board that can go straight across with wheels on it that connects to the front for when you move it.

[@melinda5777]

So cute! Like your chicken tractor!

[@jalpa9642]

The words Chicken Tractor threw me for a loop, wasn't sure what it is was, but a really net set up for the Meat Chickens....! good job guy's it will definitely make them happier than being cooped up in some tiny little pen or cage... I know they can't run loose yet like the other chickens... maybe someday..? =)

[@ikuska5825]

Looks great, hope it won´t blow away. The meatchicken Dutch had got really wet in the rain and storm, so you might consider closing at least the sides completely, so they won´t get soaked and they could die.Hope everything turn out as you got it planed! Skeeter is so cute and playful ! Love to watch your channel!

[@nmdispatchlady]

Check out Cog Hill Family Farm, they do their quail not in a tractor style but a cage that has a dirt floor and natural perches.
