We’re full timers and homesteaders from Indiana and came to Texas with the whole fam in our camper. We’ve been incredibly blessed to have power and water full time at the ranch we are at, but many others have no heat, no water and no electricity. Praise God everything has been fine so far. Praying for everyone here.

My fams favorite saying. Use what you have to make what you want.

I was thinking about chickshaw, but using deep bedding in stationary coop will give you a lot of black gold.

I love this video! I'm going to paint some of those milk crates and hang those in my coop for nests boxes. And the egg layers in a tractor moving behind larger livestock is a GREAT idea!

We have friends in the DFW area that are without electricity and water. Hope you all stay safe and warm. 🌞

Add cayenne pepper to the chicken feed during the cold laxed laying months and it helps them lay more.
They dont have heat receptors so it want hurt them but it warms their gut to promote better laying when it's cold.
Use four of the chick lifts and you can move even easier. Been seeing that alot lately

Great job on the informative video, Kelly! Living in Kingwood (northeast Houston), Tx, but living vicariously through you.

Hope all is well with the other animals and glad to see you....Here in the south west Ohio we got it a great amount of snow and wind and is very cold....Yes my chicken area looks like the tent city, too windy for them to come out. Be safe out there.

I live much farther north in TX. Temps this week were below 0 and wind chills were crazy low. I gave up the chickshaw during another harsh winter (of course it was nothing like this winter!) I use it to raise new birds, now. I've seen so many wild birds that froze to death this week that I suspect my chickens wouldn't have made it in the chickshaw.

I have got to tell you i have chickens and i have pekin and muscovy ducks. The pekins never blinked with this winter storm. they slept out in it and acted like they were at the beach; the chickens and muscovies were miserable. I may just go with the pekins from now on; firing up the incubators again next week. I lost two incubators full of eggs with the power outages this week

[hahna]

We have all of our chicks in the house with us right now, lol. We weren't sure how they would contend in the freezing weather. It's good to see that all of yours are doing well. We will probably put ours back out soon, after this final freeze passes. I'm also going to look into that Chickshaw, great idea!

[carolcalf]

I came to you after the hollers gave you a shout out. Enjoyed it. Keep warm. 🥶

[maryellencook]

Well done, Kelly! Stay warm, thaw is coming soon!

[CleoCastonguay]

What's'up with all that snow and freezing rain? Hope you guys don't lose any chickens in that cold crazy weather! Great job Kelly explaining the two types of chicken tractors you guys use. Heard on the news you're supposed to get back to 70 degrees today.

That was a very informative video about Chicken Tractors. I'm a huge fan of Justin Rhodes, but I never heard anyone explain about them like you did. KUDOS to you. 👍
I am new to your channel, I heard about your farm by way of the Hollar Homestead, Ben mentioned you all in his most recent vlog. I look forward to seeing/hearing what all y'all are up too.
Take care,
God Bless,
Laurel 💗😁

Yeah I'm in TN and our weather is like asking your wife what restaurant she wants to dine

I keep 5 gallon water containers for my pigs and the cows n horses have to drink from the spring I dug out when it freezes.
