Have you thought about an inversion table for Jonah? Might be worth looking into it as a way to elongate his spine and hip. You don't have to hang upside down either, just a gentle angle did the trick for me. I used to fall asleep on it because of the relief. My hip was crushed and I had a fractured pelvis in 4 places from a couple accidents. I had the joint replaced and the pelvis screwed back together but I still limped and had frequent pain. So I bought an inversion table and started using it every evening. I used it for a few years and one day I just didn't need to use it anymore. I still get flair ups of pain but it's only when I work too hard and over do it. Just saying this would be one of the least invasive healing regimen I can think of, IMHO.
I'm happy you're back to the calmer style of editing, not all frantic clips with loud music.
I too am so happy about the return to this editing format.
The music on the drive still seemed a bit much, but yes. This is worlds better than those couple weeks of chaotic editing
Bare with us we’re always perfecting :)
@@theJustinRhodesShow ❤👍
Agree! Videos a few weeks ago were way too fast paced and impossible to follow!
"We're logging the land with horses".
Of course you are.
Awesome.
Prayers of healing for all of you!!
I homeschool my grand daughter and taking care of the chickens and other small critters is part of that learning process. Now she has successfully (with supervision) hatched out her first 10 chicks and has ducks hatching today , 3 so far out of 5 eggs in the incubator . She wants rabbits and a goat . One of our bonus son's has a little micro farm at the edge of town . They gave her her first 6 chickens and the duck eggs . Now she has 20 chickens , plus the hatchlings . That chicken math gets ya every time. If I do something she thinks is wrong she will say "That's not how Justin does it". She is quite the little smarty herself at 7 years old .
Congratulations to all
If you wait for 2 hours before you give the chicks feed you will get better results
I saw it on. Just a few acres
Thanks matt
We have that same qtr inch wire mesh & found a 2.5’ gardener snake in my hen tractor 😳 i got rid of it quickly. It was halfway in through the mesh whenni first saw it! So beware.. spose to be some kind of breathable mesh that works better to keep out baby snakes- hope y’all the best of luck❤
We put food on newspaper, cardboard or anything smooth until they all feed a couple hours and then remove it. Helps this find it quickly
Turkey eggs are amazing.
I speak healing to Gideon. Healing over Jonah’s hip. Blessings to your family. You’re one of my 2 favorite vlogs!
What is your other favorite vlog? I love this and could use another show to watch
I love watching Justin and his beautiful family. I also watch roots and refuge and Good simple living.
AMEN❤❤❤
What's wrong with Gideon?
Amen ❤
Thank goodness your back is feeling better. Those poor babies are sick. Love the new area for the baby chicks.
Glad to see you’re moving a lot better!
Good day from Kamakura, Japan 🇯🇵! 🤩🐶👍🏾
Welcome.😊🤘💯🙏

I ran a rabbit rescue for 17 years and saved a few cages for raising chicks in the house for the first 4-6 weeks before putting them out in my static chicken coup with a screen door. We buy new chicks every 2 years to keep up the egg production, but I’m thinking of buying a pen like this inside the barn for future raising of birds to double my ability. Definitely need ways to prevent rats from coming inside the barn!
I use Shop Vac inside my 8 x 8 Chickie House, and it works Awesome sucking everything top to bottom....Chickens don't mind the noise...they were raised with constant Consturction going on
Still trying to catch up with all video's. Found Miss Lily's 5th birthday party. I laughed so hard at her brothers with the nail polish. Everyone
shoul😮d see the video.
A piece of butchers paper with feed spread will help them start. The scratching sound stimulates their scratching feeding instinct. 🤠
Hi.... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca and nice to see you all love watching your videos homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐩🐕🐈🐑🐄🐖🐝🌱🌸🌻🌼🌹🌺🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
Always enjoy watching your vlogs and watching your children help. We recently started over with chicks as our 3 year old chickens met their maker (or at least a bobcat). We are always looking for a way to make things easier for us with our multiple gardens and raising chickens. My husband came up with an excellent little invention for the 18 chicks we are raising. I wished I could post a pic on here but I am not allowed. But he took a screw on chick feeder with the circular cutouts. He then took a piece of PVC Schedule 80 (3" pipe about 4' in length)
and screwed 2 screws into the little circular cutout feeder where the pipe is standing straight up. He drilled 2 holes at the very top where he used a big zip tie to secure it firmly to a board right above the feeder. We only have to put feed in our new invention once a week as it holds 6 qts. of feed. Jonah or Josiah could make this in about 2 minutes and cut down on the extra worry of feeding chicks once or twice a day. You all have other things to do!!! If you want me to send you a pic of this, I will be happy to do so if my description wasn't descriptive enough.
I hope you filmed some of the horse logging. That would be my go to for our property also
I LOVE IT
He looks so lonely with out the chidlers...get well soon everybody!
Glad to see you moving around better.
Blessings to all!
I really like that design
I don't know if you do or not. But you guys should think about streaming on rumble as well!
Hi from Switzerland 🇨🇭 Love your videos ❤
Who else heard "The horse is here,...?" and immediately thought 😮😀Lily got her horse?!
I did! And then I remembered it's the loggers
Showing us the different options you've used to brood chickens helps us process what our resources and context is so we can creatively sort our possibilities for brooding chicks. Wonder how many folks have been inspired to find their own brooding solution?
I put my chicks in a metal stock tank with a hardware cloth and wood 1" x 1" frame roof. Never had anything get into it. But I only ever get two douzen or so at a time.
Justin, Jason at Sow the Land was trying a cheaper food for his pigs instead of the new country organics and they did not like his cheaper option. They had to try putting broth on the food to get them to eat it.
My Dad used to say "Lord willing and the crick don't rise." ❤
Glad your feeling better!
We used an automotive parts crate and lined the bottom with hardware cloth and wood. Made a lid. It's 4x4 and thick plastic the lamps can't melt🎉
I love when y’all get a new batch of chicks. They’re so cute!! I need to move out to the country and be a crazy chicken lady.
I use an extra large dog crate that I covered with welded wire as a brooder. I use the cardboard from cases of soda or cat food inside the dog crate to hold pine chips in. I cover the top with a flannel lined, plastic, cheap tablecloth to keep them dry, and the heat in.The chicks or poults are outside with a heat lamp. Raised them like this for 15 years.
I just built a 4x10' fancy schmancy brooder with three hinged lids, a divider, and lots of joinery. I can say this: keep it simple, they're just chickens lol. Nice work keeping it simple!
@Monnie Holt dog crates are easy to clean. With welded wire added only bugs can make it in. I don't have to worry about a building catching on fire from the heatlamp. I put the dog crate on top of a plastic table in an area fenced off from the dogs. No bending... so not hard on my back. Already has large doors. And you can just use the plastic bottom that slides out and clean that way... but I found the cardboard boxes work well to keep shavings inside...and it's all compostable once the brooder isn't in use anymore. 🤷🏻♀️
Always inspiring
Chuckled again at the dyno in the portabrooder.
We've used a watermelon box in our living room for the first two weeks, then graduated the chicks to two watermelon boxes in the garage, then cut "doors" into the sides and moved the boxes into a secure covered chicken run (for nights, while free ranging the birds during the day), then composted the boxes after processing the birds.The boxes are the perfect size and they have lids.
That sounds great! Where did you find the watermelon boxes? That's great that you can compost the boxes after using them as housing for the (meat)birds. I do one of those Joel Salatin chicken tractors for my meat birds. I free range my laying chickens and ducks. The meat birds don't run so well so they stay in the chicken tractor that gets moved. I haven't seen lids on watermelon boxes. That's cool!
@@StoneKathryn you can ask the produce manager at your local grocer. The lids are often underneath the boxes in the display. Also, drive around to the back of the store and see if there are any boxes back there.
Good luck with your new birds
A suggestion for you bullet proof brooder idea, this is coming from someone who would raise 40-100 chicks at a time in one year. Make it collapsible so you can easily store it away when not being used. I am on 3/4 of an acre and use or get ideas from a lot of your practices and designs. I do it all on 3/4 of an acre. Chickens, meat birds, goats for milk, ducks, I could do the pig port if I wanted to and huge gardens so my only problem is space to store things like chicken, rabbit tractors when not in use.
You’ll probably be better off with something custom like mine
I'm 2 weeks today on my spring batch of meat birds and turkeys come next week. We had an issue with feed a couple years ago as well. It very curious how they really love some feeds, and hardly touch others.
If you have lots of spider webs, that means you have good ventilation
Здравия вам и вашей семье
Just and it works good to put paper plates or newspapers down and put the feed on that they find it better than the feeders we used to do that when we raise 100;000 turkey's a year
I kinda wish there was footage on the culprits. Just sounds incredible what they did
Nice, you got chicks and turkey poults! Good job getting the brooders set-up! I bet it feels good that they are rat proof! I love all the colors of the chicks! Lily is so cute holding the little gray chick! Those are all white turkey poults? Thanks for this Rhodes family!
Laughed when I saw the dinosaur in the chick brooder. Lol 🦕
Justin I know you need the extra protein but I'd just leave 1/4 of that tray with the chick starter that you like for the chickens in with the Turkeys. If they're not eating who cares about macros.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.
בס'ד
I love and hate that I watch this show so much; when you unboxed the turkeys and didn’t dip their beaks in the miracle water I was so upset and then Jonah came in and dipped all the chicks into the water making up for my lack of happiness 😂
Maybe that was one of his farm chores to do. He s not allowed to do any strenuous stuff so he probably was told to go to that when he was finished with his indoor chores.
Hi Kerrel, maybe they dipped the turkey beaks later on off camera.
@@Jane_Snow_ I know they probably did but it’s just in ALL the other videos when new chicks arrive I see them do it so it caught my attention they didn’t at first but it warmed my heart when I saw Jonah come and do it
I am sure they did, they always do. It probably wasn't worthy to fit in the 1-2 second clip, TikTok format...
heyo from Canada ❤
The culprit could be mink. They use rat holes to get around and tend to kill as many as possible in one night.
one thing I wish is that people would make these books with spiral bindings so we can flip through easily. That or a pdf format to print from.
It will cost more, but take them down to your local staples or office depot. They should be able to do that for you.
@@gailjohnson2106 Will have to check that out for sure.
What's the downside of these GQF battery brooders that are heated? Seems like it'd be space and energy efficient while being secure.
I'm surprised you didn't put the turkeys with the chickens so the chickens can show the turkeys where to get water and feed, at least at first.
❤🤗
MUCH LOVE
GM!!
👍👍
I've been meaning to ask about your dog Teddy. I haven't seen him a while. Blessings
They gave him to the babysitter since he was so much happier with the dog they have.
they got rid of him
Put a baby chicken in with your turkeys and it will teach them to do everything and cut your loses at this stage. Since we started that one step we have not lost a baby turkey but we also don't raise huge numbers. The baby chicks will get more than what they need from the turkey food as a bonus, they will then get along with chickens later. If you don't want to mix them, just get their attention and poke the feed or water with your finger. Baby turkeys might lack survival instincts like chickens but they make up for it with their ability to learn fast, they just need someone to teach them. Ducklings work too if you are in a pinch but they are not the best as they are super messy with their water.

Hey, are you sweeping away their future food source, spiders lol?
A vaccum comes to mind.
You have a killer mic i wonder if there is a app or software you can use while editing to tone down certain pitches because the fire alarm and chirping were little harsh on the ears
So is this vlog before the injury one or did you have a miraculous healing??? I pray so!!!
The editing has improved over the last few videos. The music is still too pronounced and obtrusive, though.
Agree!
Everytime you say "BULLET PROOF BROODER" I half expect Matt from Demolition Ranch to show up and show you it's not with a .50 BMG.
Your older kids would love his channel and Scott at Kentucky Ballistics (Funny intros) target shooting shows here on UA-cam.
Could you utilize a space like that permanently if it were only chicks
❤🥚🐓🐓🙂
When setting brooder up what was the step before you put in pine shavings? When you used hose to wet down?
I screwed up. I have 150 4wk cornish cross in my garage. The weather here is 32-50 for another two weeks? What do I do if they can move to the tractors!?
Jason I have just watched your lovely children videos making toys with power tools .nothing rong with that one got ear muffs on and one got eye glass on not one of them had the most important thing on was a face mask on breathing all that saw dust in tell them no mask no tools.
its a el nino year, the creeks might just rise in some areas #floods
Don't mock Jonah calling him a gimp wow that's disgusting you bought him that bike that turned him into a so called gimpy
He is your son raise him up Don't tear him down
I wanted to see the horses logging.😢
Thursday :)
@@theJustinRhodesShow I'm so interested to see it. Logging and saw milling is in my family history and maybe that's why I find it fascinating. I do have a question about why he told you to not cut the yellow pines. We have several on our property and I was hoping to find out why he thought you should leave those. Lots of activity this spring on your homestead. Thank you for sharing!
🤗💞
Both of you should stretch out your glutes with a butt walk. That's what alleviated my dad's back pain and limp after hip surgery.
What’s the reason for feeding them on the grate?
They kick shavings in the water and feed and would need cleaned every 15 mins
@@alecamist5309 well dang I never thought of that… mine dirty up the water more than feed. I’ll have to make some of those!
So they don’t tracy shavings into their feed and water. Oops I should have mentioned that.
@@theJustinRhodesShow that’s an awesome idea I’d never thought of.. They waste so much getting shavings in it. I’m definitely gonna make a few of those 😃
What’s the purpose of spraying down the shavings before hand? Is it to break it down and sort of compost it?
It helps with dust and especially ignites the compost process
🙏🏻❤️😃👍🏻
can you mix turkeys and chicks if you only have one brooder? Or really, my question would be chicks and goslings or ducks. because that is really what we want.
I do that. Any poultry I get I raise the babies together. I've raised chicks, keats (guinea hen), and ducklings together one Spring. Turkeys get big fast and so do the ducks but it works. I raise more chicks than I do any other type of poultry. Good luck!
@@StoneKathryn thank you so much!
Justin, question. Did you change your diet? Or something? You were doing so well with your health, so we'll, did you stop eating just meat???
Nope still mostly meat, some fruit. This was an actual physical injury.
👋👋❤❤👀👀
No issue with pasty butt?
Lot of sickness going around.
I laugh every time you call your animals "people".
You don’t get them a drink of water first?
Lol, patience is a virtue… I love your set up
Hope your actual life is not as choppy and stressful as the editing style portrays.
Justin, I'm not sure if you will see this, amd I know this isn't the subject of the video...but does overnight soaking (12 hours) of the feed have the same effect as a 3 day ferment?
