    Jonah is a remarkable young man, I believe in a few years he will be able to run that farm.

      I am wondering if his dad and mom will let him have a enterprise, maybe pigs in the wooded area, when he gets a little older.

    I really like how the nest box turned out. I love how the kids are learning and growing on the homestead. They do things sometimes without being told because they know the work needs to be done.

    Hey Gang, Justin, you're absolutely right on parents noticing the negativity in children, you on the other hand rewarding Johna about the good deeds and choices he makes is very inspirational to others, that's why you are a SUPPERDAD and a SUPPERFARMER
    God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the good work really enjoy your podcasts and adventures on the homestead, XOXOXOXO love U guys

    Merry Christmas! I pre-ordered your book already. I'm looking forward to getting it. It was great to see the cows get moooooved to the pole barn for their winter quarters. That was great that Jonah got it ready without having to be asked to do it. He really is a responsible teen. The chicken nests on the a frames look really nice. I hope the chickens adapt and start using them when the chick shaw gets removed from the high tunnel. Thanks for this Justin and family.

    You could add a few tree branches in with the chickens so they can perch.

    Curious if you have to clean out all the old bedding and start with fresh since the pigs have left the area and the cows are moving in.

    Bookmarks like that work really well. All you have to do is fold it in thirds, like a pamphlet, the layers give it some rigidity. If you like you can also use a glue stick and trim the top and bottom. But it'll work just fine folded

    Hi Justin, if you want your hens to start using the new nest boxes.... Just to start off with you need to lift up the flaps so the hens can see that they are nests, then put a couple of eggs in each new nest box. Get rid of the old nest boxes. I'll let you in on a secret that isn't really a secret, Hens like to lay eggs where they or other hens have layed their eggs before & they do like to have nesting material straw, hay etc.... But with those nest boxes I don't think you can have nesting material. Once your hens have been laying eggs in the new nestboxes you can then after a week remove the eggs daily & leave down the flaps. I hope this helps. From a long time viewer & friend, Greetings all the way from Australia to you & your family, Fiona.

    Yes I still have all the washers, screws, and oh the drill bits, etc. of my Dad"s. He passed away in 1999 and the boys went thru some tools but there is still alot of little things. It is like a treasure hunt sometimes. I don't know what to do with all the polish and grinding bits.

    I have a very similar one and they still roost on the top and I’m scooping poo buildup from the top and in the front edge of the boxes. I don’t have a flap though so that might deflect it.

  • @farmsteadflowersandfoxhoun8302
    @farmsteadflowersandfoxhoun8302 3 роки тому +2

    Chickens don’t like change. You need to at least open the blue curtains for a week. And maybe even move them gently when they are in the old nest box to the new one.

  • @sonjaconti274
    @sonjaconti274 3 роки тому +2

    You may need to watch the angle of your nest boxes… the roll-away only works when they’re accurately angled, so the grade of the coop will matter. Also … when training them to the new boxes, temporarily securing one of the blue curtains up so they recognize there is space back there, will speed up the transition process. Once they’re working as they should, roll away boxes are awesome. Cleaner eggs and they certainly saved my egg eaters from the pot. 🤣
