FARMER G - MY HOMESTEAD I am very blessed in that regard with my Father inlaw! I do have to dress up my own pens( like the guarding fence,) I will show you what we do with our portable meat birds in another video( I use a much lighter gauge of fence that is actually plastic) we want those pens super light weight because we move them every twelve hours)!

Back to the Land organic farmers Good point. I started making one with scrap lumber. It’s too heavy to move. It’s now a temporary coop. Thanks for sharing.

Raising meat birds is great! I need to get going on some for this year and some.turkeys too! Thank you so much for viewing! I can't wait to see all your videos and see what your up to next! Lynette

We recently put a 2nd wrap of wire around our mobile coop, dur to predators.

He Provides Homestead oh I'm so sorry to hear about predators! I know thos poor little critters are hungry, but I know that there is enough wild food for them! Have a great night and I will pray you dont lose any chickens! Lynette

It's a good system would you ever think about getting Cornish cross chickens for fast growth

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

I totally would, we can get them close to here! We have gotten a meat bird from California that grazes pretty good called the Rolin S( it's a brown colored bird), but grows similar to the cornish!

Hi everyone, I guess I didnt realize that the music at the end started so early( I edited this one on my phone and it doesnt give a great playback)! I have cyberlink on my computer, but my phones movie maker isn't as easy to manipulate! Have a great afternoon! Lynette

Why play music and talk? We can't hear a word you say from the music
