Problems

[@sylviasweeney6666]

Josiah is the quiet hero of the Rhodes homestead. He's stepped up to the plate and beyond since Jonah's injury. Never seeks attention - just gets the job done. Hats off to you Josiah - you've become a man at an early age.

[@TheBeanThere]

The first

[@sheree76]

The Rhodes kids have the best of both worlds. They’re each so capable and thriving-yet join in playing with their younger siblings. They are remarkable kids! Heck, Lily is driving, cooking, baking and milking… Their futures are so very bright!!

[@janwolvin2773]

He always seemed almost sad now he seems to smile and talk more

[@reneequalls5878]

I love Josiah’s whole energy and vibe. I w noticed in the most recent videos how grown up he’s looking. Good kids

[@rhizomove6631]

@@janwolvin2773 I remember that! Like he couldn't find his place on the farm. I am praying for Jonah. I miss his enthusiasm.

[@deem.2995]

Lily does an amazing job in all she does. She's a delight to watch.

[@eduardoHMYT]

Thanks dear God for this lovely family!

[@lillievalentine8800]

"I'll give it all I got" Lily is awesome!

[@lilianrhodes-heatley6443]

Try putting a gate spring on the chicken run, it will automatically pull the gate to the closed position even if it doesn't latch the latch 😁 I've used them for this and my lower door section on my wood frame greenhouse... Works great.

[@cynthia-n9w]

Wish you guys all the luck and blessings in the future. I can't handle the 3-7 second cuts in this editing anymore. I watch YT to get away from short-cuts. Such an odd thing from a homesteader - most homesteaders are so relaxing to watch.

[@jacquicoder7160]

This is the journey of a homestead family with all of the problems, solutions, drama, comedy, character study, and growth that comes with it. There is also plenty of suspense to keep us watching to see what will happen next. It is great to see how all of the children are growing, maturing, and gaining confidence in themselves. That's great content.

[@asmith8973]

Justin you could never be boring. What I love about your videos is that you and the family are just like the majority of us . Five trips to the hardware store, aways looking for something, a machine won't start etc... lol

[@Big_Daddy_Don]

Justin - Thank you for your gracious offer of the Chicken Tractor plans.

[@19queenbee55]

Justin, so glad your ankle was better, Rebekah looks fantastic, praying for dear Jonah, Josiah is consistent worker yet still gets boy fun time, maturing wonderfully, Lily still astounds me with cooking and baking, driving, milking, chickens, climbing up mountains, mr. brown knows what to do to butter his bread, lol, dear Henry is a delight. Always love watching.

[@ck4599]

It’s just amazing to see how mr brown always played around and how he is a hard little worker now…great job dad❤

[@promisedjubileedaniels]

Omgosh, Gideon being so proud of himself for doing his chores ❤ I love that little dude.

[@RuthAnnnMorris]

I know having a horse can get expensive, with feed and all the tack you would need, but Lilly does so much for y’all and doesn’t complain. I mean she cooks better than most adult women. She cleans, milks the cows, takes care of chickens, she babysits and does everything you ask her to do. The boys have a motorcycle, they operate heavy equipment, they have chainsaws, well the 2 oldest boys do. Please start looking for a horse for Lilly. She is very responsible for a girl her age and she really does so much without complaining or even being asked. Anyway, I absolutely love how you and Rebekah raise your children. They are all well rounded, well educated and someday they’ll take over the farm. Congratulations on building a future for them. Much love and Blessings…😊

[@brothernorb8586]

She has to be able to handle it all herself does that make sense?? It's gonna be a little while

[@freshstarts1618]

She will be great, that Lilly Lady. But… I completely forgot how to do chores when I got my first horses 😂! All I could remeber was horse

[@lizregan1949]

I think when the time comes, she will get her horse. They need to get the house done so they have time to help her until she can handle it herself. They are all so busy right now. I am so impressed with her cooking skills. Being the only girl around all those boys makes her one tough little lady. Nothing slows her down. She reminds me of the song I can do anything you can do only better. 😂❤❤. Your amazing Lilly.

Jonah is an very incredible young man , still trying to help on activities. He has a great strong focus to just keep going. Jonah is a very strong young man with fantastic abilities. Jonah is still in my prayers daily. Please keep your faith strong and I hope he has a doctor that can help him .

[@ColRubyDimplesManacha]

Look at Giddeon getting on it! Y'all have done a wonderful job raising them. On behalf of the world, thank you!!

[@robertbuckley9303]

Just a word to Jonah - hang in there, things will work out with your hip. I had a similar injury to my hip when I was twelve years old. This was over 60 years ago, and they didn't have the technology to fix it properly. I've lived with one leg two inches short all my life, and I can't say it's really hindered me much. I adapted to limping so that I didn't even notice it, although other people noticed. I truly hope they can even out your leg length, but even if they can't, you're going to be fine. (Just between you and me, a lot of girls found my "romantic limp" attractive, so don't worry on that account).

[@msdebbiep]

The “random blogs” teach about problem-solving, patience, resiliency, faith, strength .. and all those other wonderful things that many people struggle with or were not taught/nurtured Thank you for sharing the journey

[@eyesalooking]

The raw video beats the "perfected" video in my opinion.

[@karionhawkins3091]

❤😃 your kids are so helpful 😀

Hi.... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead chicken duck goose farmer garden 🐔🐓🐣🐤🍗🦆🐶🐕🦮🐈🐑🐄🐖🐷🐝 BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍👍

[@gailrothermund9209]

Love your content. It was great seeing Rebekah out and about with the family doing chores and problem-solving. Henry is happiest when he is with his mama.

[@izzy1949]

Lilly is amazing she truly is…all the children are a blessing and your parental skills are brilliant…Lilly will get her horse eventually wen the time is right…❤

[@robbinmcenany5044]

Will Lily be getting a horse soon? What a reliable and hard working young lady!

[@lynnkeller251]

I come by and binge to catch up once or twice a year. Last time I came by, Lily had just started talking about getting a horse, Jonah had just gotten injured, and Henry wasn’t running around yet. I come back and Henry’s running around walking and talking like his own little person, Gideon’s taking initiative where he can, Josiah’s stepped up in a big way while Jonah’s been recovering, and Jonah’s making big research moves. I’m so excited for all the progress you’ve made on the farm, but I can’t give words to how much secondhand pride I have for you with them kids 💜 You and Rebekah are raising amazing future adults.

[@aminpathan17]

Hi Justin, add tyres to the cow stanchion and there will less drag and easy to move instead of sledge. add a stopper to tyres when milking cows so it will not move.

[@jerrypin6740]

wow such a strong and inspiring family thank you for sharing with us have a Blessed day.

[@forgingandurbanfarmingatt4745]

That hip is really pulling Jonah down. I pray this gets resolved and he can finally heal and move on

[@jeremymaccarthy1180]

Seeing him walk so unevenly breaks my heart

[@mariesheppard3750]

The hike up the water hill, Poor Henry got hit with a thin branch in his face, He could lose a eye when you take him like that, Yes he needs to go every where but he need protection,

[@kenharvey7145]

Hello Marie where are you from?

[@carolynrandle5454]

You have taught your children well.

[@StoneKathryn]

Never a dull moment on the homestead! Lots of problems one after the other! You should tell Joel that you don't have to create content, it just shows up! I signed-up for the chick shaw giveaway! Thanks for doing that Justin. I hope you enjoyed the lamb burgers and the hot tub! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend Rhodes family!

[@jeremymaccarthy1180]

Josiah looks like he has lost weight! Good job, Gideon! Nice breakfast, Lily! Jonah is getting really good with those machines!

[@1337farm]

I was going to post this, but figured someone else noticed Josiah losing weight!

[@JLBellwriter]

@@1337farm I suspect Josiah is gaining weight in the vertical dimension.

[@anniepurse2831]

Think he has lost his baby fat and is growing taller and leaner. Plus he is a hardworking young man as are all the children. 🙂

[@cherylcallahan5402]

Justin Rhodes appreciate your videos Listening 🌼 From Mass USA TYVM Justin Rhodes Blessings for everyone ♥

[@janetdiaz8916]

We always put all our devices on your video to help out, including playing the advertisements. Our way of raising the viewer count a little. Every but helps. I loved the chicken dance. Joy over little things!! It always reminds me that we Americans get too busy and stoic. We gotta swallow our pride and do a dance once in awhile! There is so much to be thankful for, and we take too much for granted.

[@JustinaFleming]

Might put springs on the gates so they close on their own despite being unlocked, my grandpa did that for their chickens mainly so he didn't have to latch it while filling water and feed.

[@HansKeesom]

The mechanic is a storyline on itself :-)

[@kellygreen8255]

Mark seems like such a cool guy! I love when’s on the vlog!

[@annamoreau457]

Reality is my favorite, especially you working with the family, animals, and things. I reminisce helping my grandfather and grandmother (aka Bampaw and Mamaw) on their farm.

[@sherrybacon8041]

It is reality but I love watching your family. I've been with you for years.

[@henklenting2821]

I like the vlogs this way, not a set story, just following along on what happens

[@Homestead777]

I really enjoy watching the Rhodes vlogs. The kids are so precious.

[@dianesierakowski9317]

Loved your chicken 🐓 dance! Great job kids on your chores ❤ Much love from Michigan. Love the never ending story also!

[@ck4599]

I just love that you guys work together as a family ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bm766]

I believe what you are doing is fantastic but as for me and people like me, I would truly love to have your book, but fundings are very low and times are hard struggling threw. I do love building and I think the builds you do are great! I truly love your videos and one could say that I am living vicariously through your videos! I live alone with my lovely chow chows and soon I will be moving, I raise chickens, ducks and turkeys, also I have a big garden and a smaller one! I really enjoy watching the kids grow and am sending prayers to you all, may God 0:01 be with you and all you do! Blessings

[@natyb3976]

I like this homestead is so great I learned more about job.

[@wildedibles819]

Mr Brown your growing up.... Your being a great influence on your little brother well done We have a bunch of chicks now too I think it's fun work :) Much love xoxox

[@joshporter6202]

Solution for the compost corner- put a screen door closer on the gate slowly closes so no chicks can get out or get hurt by closing to fast! Just an idea!!!! Keep up the awesomeness Rhodes family

[@TLadret]

I had a thought when you were drawing parallels between your vlogs and those movies and how you explained that you were vlogging growing your own food; my immediate thought was that I really enjoy watching how you ‘grow your own children’. You two are amazing parents and I’m glad you’re emulating those skills as well! Thank you from all of us! 👍😄

Austin is really talented. I noticed the difference in those videos. Nice to see a little behind the scenes

[@jasonhatfield4747]

I had to LOL pretty hard watching you going through the woods with the kid strapped to your back taking branches to the face like nothing is happening! Tough kids you got there:)

[@jackdennehy-coles8119]

Put a pool gate spring on the chicken run door so it will automatically spring close when people forget

[@dianecoates766]

Been watching your show for a long while- absolutely love it. It's my zen time :) Realize the importance of moving the story along based on the attention span of the American audience, but agree that perhaps take a look at the choppiness of the editing. Ok to slow things down. Love you all.

[@InTheGarden1960]

I have a suggestion while climbing in the trees, do something to protect little man's face, he was slapped a few times directly in the eyes. Get him a bee helmet or something to protect him while climbing through all that muck. No wonder he doesn't like it.

[@Mindmaid1]

Thank you for the successes and the failures!

[@forgingandurbanfarmingatt4745]

You're 'lucky' to have Lucky. Old tractors are the best!

[@doulosprintingservices8565]

I suggest.. I think walkie-talkie somehow make a big difference to all of you😊😅

[@eyesalooking]

I built the Chicksaw 2.0 and my 8 chicks love it. I put a perch across the two 2 x 2 braces that go from the back of the coop up to the front of the coop and four of the chickens love to perch on it at night rather than being on the cross perches on the floor.

[@Matt-su8yl]

I love how this video was edited! Just gave quite a cool vibe. Idk felt different to other videos. Really nice vid 👍

Henry is so cute everything is yes😍

Bravo, Gideon! Way to go, Jonah! Lilly knows lots of stuff and applies it! You may have called this video, "Problems", but what I see is accomplishment! Keep Going!

[@karenwilliams7151]

are wheels not an option on the milk stantion ? the kids are growing up so fast & being sooo much help on the farm great job kids

[@kyleenadaiz8478]

Lilly should consider an online store with baked goods she invents.

[@sharoncochran8508]

Or maybe a cookbook.

[@marniehulton1045]

Love your videos. One comment about a Henry not liking bushwhacking when you climbed. Maybe the twigs, if you watch, smacking him in the face might be part of the problem. He’s gonna loose an eye if you are not careful. Kids are doing great.

Hi Justin For fixing your problem with the open door.. use a bunge cord on the inside of the coop. You only need an other latch system but you will have a closed door

[@zmandoug5925]

Has there been any news on Jonah's hip? I like how everyone pitches in to get the job done and help each other out,,,,,,

[@tigar0485]

Could you see if Jonah would be interested in building a power generating swing? If you want a gravity feeder for chicks, put a 10 gallon tote inside a 30 gallon tote & cut holes near the bottom in both totes. The inner tote is filled with feed, it drops feed into the space between the two totes, & the chicks eat from outside the larger tote. Holds 10 gallons...and feeds 75 sea monsters for 2 days

[@Suziluci65]

To solve the chickens getting out. Put a spring on the inside of the gate that always swings the door closed as you go thru it

[@graciegolden2290]

Love you all so. Have followed for years. Justin, please slow down a tad with jumping from this to that in your videos.

I like this style because it normalizes our day to day. We don't really have a 9 to 5 and we also have surprise struggles so seeing yall go through it is encouraging.

I just love watching Princess Lily driving the buggy!!!

[@ChristyStoerm]

I was thinking in those beds by the main house, I know you don't want to plant food because it might get crushed. But filling the bed with zinnia seeds, and sunflowers might be pretty, and a way to avoid weeds in there all year.
