My goodness that first minute of this video was beautiful. We are thankful to have you as part of the human collective. Such genuine kindness. Those poor hens have been saved from a terrible life and are now in such a wonderful place.

Misses Ladies.. 😆 🤣 😂. Your working crew are so relaxed while getting the job done. I am so at school here. Teaching and learning can be expressed in so many different forms. ❤️

I love that you're systems are integrated with your greater community.
So many permacuture influenced people aim to withdraw to their own piece of ground and be self sufficient.
By networking with restaurants, sawmills, neihbors and farmers you make everything more sustainable.

Thanks, Sean! I'm glad you rescued those chickens. They are beautiful and will look better from now on.

This is incredibly helpful to see. In large part because of your videos I have incorporated the system you use with our 19 hens. I transitioned them over from bagged feed to working a 20x40 run and compost flow system. I have agreements with two local restaurants to get fresh food scraps. I also have plenty of carbon.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge so people like me can start much further down the road on things like this! You have helped our 19 hens have a better life as well! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

I can't explain it. I spend a lot of time learning about gardening, composting and chickens. I like watching chickens.... dunno why.

Hi from India! I am hoping to try and replicate parts of this system once I have a piece of land to work with. Thanks for all of your videos.

Love this! It’s so fun to watch the happy chickens and how fabulous that you are taking what would end up in a landfill and using it to feed your chickens, provide them a job to do, as well as feed your garden. So satisfying! I want to see the video where they wash the buckets for you. 😆

How wonderful you gave those hens a new life. I love seeing our hens roaming about our yard looking for grass and bugs. They are definitely happiest then! I'm havong to work outside the farm now, so they don't get out as much as they like I'm sure. Hopefully soon we'll have enough fencing material to expand their run for the warmer months.

You guys have the best channel on applicable permaculture. Thank you so much for your content and your "fast and thorough" sharing of your designs and processes.

A nourished hen is a happy hen.
Love the vids, extremely informative! Can't wait to expand my little chicken coop. Going to work on it this summer once the rest of the work on the property is finally done

[angelaberni]

No way are there any other chickens in the world more loved or cared for than yours !!! 👏👏👏

[buttercuptime]

100 % free is so satisfying, very happy chickens, healthy beautiful compost. Thank you.

Your channel is absolutely awesome bro!!! I recently started an urban homestead on my property in NY. I have a couple rabbits, a garden and 7 chickens, not to mention the dog and kids! Its alot of work but me and the wife love it! Good to teach the kids useful information and methods. I think we are going to model our composting system similarly to yours, only much smaller. Thanks again for the info and for being a good person! God bless and be safe

[cherishloveart]

earned yourself a subscriber! Nice video...and you have a super chilled-out calming voice!

[MrMontyFontaine]

That's good of you to have those chickens from that farm! It made me a bit sad that they didn't know what to do with the fresh greens at first.. thankfully, their nature and character kicks back in, and they enjoy all the lovely fresh food.
