My No Poop Chicken Coop (and Run) gives 2,000+LBS of Compost

[@maryabel3176]

WOW Justin, You are on a chicken jag. I love chickens but you are telling us the same thing everyday. That said, Thank you for all the great information and teaching. You are a great teacher. God bless.

Dirty eggs are an excellent source of on farm feed for the livestock. Kids exposure to the farm helps build their immune system. Buy the book at www.Homesteadbuilds.com and you won’t have to clean out another coup ;) Take it or leave it :)

Hi..... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca thank you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@kaycompton8983]

Justin, in all your homesteading and permaculture programming, may I make a suggestion for a family outing? Just on the east side of Asheville is the very small town of Swannanoa, halfway between Asheville and Black Mountain. Out in the environs of Swannanoa is a little known NC college - Warren Wilson College. This college has a wonderful heritage of having started as a farm school for boys where they could utilize their homesteading practices to earn a high school diploma. Now a 4 year Liberal Arts college, it still maintains its farming background and has a lot to offer in the way of learning about farming, organic gardening, beekeeping and a plethora of other useful talents. Each student works on campus 15 hours a week and that helps with the room and board portion of their education. I really think you would enjoy seeing a place that had honored and utilized homesteading values for well over 100 years. I believe they may still have a 2/3 program with ASU and/or UNC in engineering. As an alumnae, I think you would at least find it a wonderful Rhodes trip, but maybe also as an educational avenue for your boys.

I watched Lillys video this morning. Please check with your vet about feeding grass clippings. Also, I'm going to make chicken soup tomorrow from home raised chooks. I tell you, bantams are hard to get your hand in. From grandma in Australia 😀

Hi Justin, My husband and I are soon to be moving to our humble 3.7 acre home! We are so excited and we love what you have going on here!

We live in Southern New England.

[@MFaith777]

I just feel like predators will get my chickens in the chicksaw. And during winter, that they’ll get too cold and I don’t have a greenhouse to put them in during winter like he recommends. Maybe a permanent coop with a deep mulch run is the way to go for us.

[@BuddyCarchide]

That coop and run won't work in the NorthEast where snow gets high and temps are below zero.... or am I missing something???

[@MickSupper]

I think the coop in the video is way too open, unless he covers some of the openings during the winter. Even in Texas it can be 20 degrees or less in the winter, so I like to have it a little more enclosed.

[@yunniekal]

You adjust it for your climate.... He doesnt get heavy snow.. In winter you move your chickens else where or cover. Remember.. his other chickens are housed in the high tunnel during winter...........

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

I’d suggest a greenhouse for them in the winter.

Is that a boomerang you are using to remove the poop? 😅

[@caluman69]

How do the chickens handle winter with no floor? I figured the draft would be bad. Maybe themps don't get as low down there, I'm not sure

[@tigar0485]

Chickens have fluffy feathers and do well outside. In my area, we get -20 F in the winter. The chickens stay in the coop only when it's below 0. The rest of the time they go scratch in the snow and cluck away.

[@jillianstolling2602]

He moves his chickens into their green house/ high tunnel for the winter months. They are more or less just getting them out, I think it has been about a month.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Just fine. Down to -20f. Be careful to give your chickens plenty of ventilation in the winter, you want them dry.

[@emmz....]

[@albrightfs]

Egg Drop soup!! I'm always looking for what to do with extra eggs.. I love that you coop is right next to the garden.. We're going to be building a new coop area and may have to really change it up as this looks so very convenient and efficient!..

[@k.c.8535]

Is the boom-rang the best tool for removing any chicken poop, and where do I purchase this particular tool?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

lol, lord no it’s just something I found.

[@MickSupper]

I kind of do the same thing inside our hen house, but only once dug out the compost. (chicken poop, wood chips, and food scraps) that the chickens don't eat. If I throw wood chips inside the chicken run they just blow away. (Probably because I don't throw enough chips inside.) I am wanting to change up my chicken area, so might do something more like this. The problem with doing it inside the hen house is that it never rains inside, so the compost doesn't get the benefit of water to break it down, thus making it create a lot of dust if I do try to dig out the compost.

Eggs, once daily. If they aren’t laying yet as long as they have food and water they can go a couple days.

[@Poppy_love59]

How do you prevent hawks from flying right into the run ?

[@Greg_Johnson_1986]

[@MickSupper]

I really like having a coop and a chicken run I can walk right into. My chicken run has a roof of chicken wire. I like to be able to walk right inside and pick up eggs that don't make it into the laying box, which they rarely do because chickens sleep and poop in the laying boxes instead of laying eggs.

[@mimiann2372]

They have a garden goose with each flock of chickens

[@trinareynolds8948]

In hindsight, would you put the garden by the road and the chickens closer to the house? Or flower gardens by road, then chickens, then food garden?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Great question but no. You come out of the house, weed the garden on the way to chickens, do the chicken chores and get some eggs, on the way back pick some fresh greens to go with your eggs for breakfast. It’s a flow thing.

And I know I’d never complain about any of that because it’s not up to anybody on KZbin to make me happy in the entertainment dept. There’s a whole lot of entitlement in that type of thinking. And you say you want to see more of the new build while others will tear him and Rebekah down for that. Say they re showing off and then have all kinds of complaints about how much money Rebekah spends. So I say I m happy he doesn’t listen to the complainers and he just does what he wants to do.

[@tonicook3023]

Justin and Rebecca are smart people. They seem to be employing a "scatter" approach to marketing their homesteading channel on KZbin. Some KZbin viewers are satisfied while other viewers are dismayed. This channel is their KZbin paycheck. Justin has additional revenue streams from his books and his other channel Abundance+. They are not suffering in any way, shape or form. It's difficult to watch them, as parents, employ their children as either actors or props. Additionally, it's more than difficult to watch their children walk barefoot in animal waste; so many parasites from animal waste can invade and populate in human bodies. Choosing to watch their channel is an individual decision. This channel is not a good source of homesteading information, but rather social entertainment.

Why don't you raise your own sea monsters so that they can produce The chickens you're going to eat. Instead of buying chicks.

[@yunniekal]

Cause C-Monsters are a mix breed. A Frankenstein chicken and they grow too fast. You need to dispatch them right before at right when they hit maturity. Plus if you able to make to to adulthood withouth health problems, They wont be a true cross anymore if you breed them. its a Cornish chicken bred with a plymouth rock chicken and sometimes other breeds are mixed in. The entire purpose is for them to grow super fast and get culled before 1yr Also its alot of work making sure 100+ eggs are candled and viable the entire process to hatching and getting them to hatch at once. Also the quality of the chicken.. there would have to be ALOT of culling even just by the look of the eggs. Its alot of genetic work. Same as cross breeding plants for hybrids. Its really just TOO much work if youre not a large scale producer. for a family their size and their needs of doing less and getting more as much as possible... buying chickens is the best route. Better to have a guarantee 100 chickens ( plus supplier replacement) than be short one yr at like 60 chickens instead if they tried to hatch themselves. .

[@jessicah2345]

Cornish cross are a hybrid of several different breeds and it's not practical for most homesteaders to have breeding operations of that scope, and their offspring don't reproduce true to type

Woman are turned off by her sort of city girl attitude. But they are clueless and keep filming from this angle. Also very materialistic. People,can sense this is not a normal farm. Mom steps on a nail and is practically bed ridden. And needs to get carried. Jonah breaks his hip and is out cutting trees down and over working which led it not to heal and a limp and surgery.
