    When I was 10 in the early 1950s, we were very poor and I had the idea of raising chickens to have something better to eat. With no money, I needed to find material to build a nest box and chicken coop. I used free fruit boxes from the grocery store and material that I got from a neighbor's old chicken coop. I got a setting Banham hen and 10 eggs from my grandmother and found enough soft drink bottle to sell for money to buy 12 chicks from the feed store. This little hen raised 22 chicks.

    It can be difficult, when seeing other people’s successes, while you have not even been able to get a garden going, to not get discouraged. Thanks Mike, for the reminder…baby steps is not bad, slower is not hopeless.

    Some of those old nails will be the best nails you’ll ever have. I try to save them because companies don’t use good long lasting nails anymore

    • @elaineekberg113
      @elaineekberg113 Рік тому +1

      We always save nails. It's easier to pull them. Hammering them, they can bend and you don't wanta put a skill saw blade through nails.

  • @ruththomas6361
    @ruththomas6361 Рік тому +3

    Good advice. I live in a temperate rain forest and have learned to eat what grows, and either do without or purchase those things that don't. No reason to get worked about what I can't do here and focus on what I can. Bonus: I can get free Pacific salmon (my favorite is Sockey, a subsistence fish which I can for myself as well as give to elderly who have no access to it,) halibut, cod, rockfish, venison from our delicious Sitka Black Tail, Dungeness Crab -- the best crab in the world, Petersburg shrimp and other lovely sea food like clams and abalone, and wild ducks. Who can beat that?
    As for duck eggs: they are my favorite because the yolks are larger in proportion to the white than with chicken eggs. And the yolk is where most of the nutrients are. 🥰

    Watching the boys pound the nails OUT of the wood reminded me of when my brother and I did this all summer long. We were the nail removers so that our Dad could reuse the lumber to build our house when we moved to the country. I was six and my brother was 12 years old. Dad had torn down several old houses and built us a lovely 3 bedroom home. He used lathe which was applied diagonally inside the plywood of outer walls. The outside walls were overlaid with siding made of rigid stone shingles. Of course the interior was dry walled....so there were actually several layers in each exterior wall. That house stood through many a storm.....and we lived in tornado alley, IE. Central Kansas!! Just threw me back in time!!

    Shalom my friend! Love the Duck Tractor. As you’re building it I thought if you had a shorter strap on the front it might be easier to move. That way you won’t have to lift so high to keep the front from dragging.

I offered to give them to a milk company, and they said no. Love the build, too. P.S. I think you could shorten your rope handle, so you're not pulling your arms up so high.
