When I was about 10 years old in 1953 and lived as a poor person in Anson, Texas, hunger drove me to build my first chicken pen and coop. Having no money, I gathered scrap wood and wire from abandoned homes. My first setting hen was a small Banham. She raised ten chicks from eggs that she laid and another 12 that I got from a feed store. Having no money, I found soda bottles and sold them for 4 cents each until I had $1.20 to buy the twelve chicks.
Dad always said. It doesn't have to be beautiful or perfect in order to be functional and useful.
Absolutely love things made out of scrap wood & metal ❤❤
Happy New Year god bless ❤❤
Nobody can say Mike doesn’t get his money’s worth from his saw blades!! Building things can be daunting. I think they usually go well after started…. It’s the getting started part that is hard!
Always fun watching and learning with you!
Next time you go to the hardware store, grab some metal roofing screws. They come with washers on them already. Very very handy.
It is so important to recycle materials.
Congratulations on your new ducklings! I loved the modifications you did! Every homestead has their own needs!
I love the poly face designs and homestead build books.
I built an egg mobile inspired mobile coop a few months ago and just built a meat shaw. Videos of both of those on my channel
Enjoyed the video!
I’m building a turkey shaw in the next few weeks too
🎉🎉🎉 Happy New year, Mike, Lacie & family 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi hope all is well with you and your family. I enjoyed watching this video & all videos you share. At present I'm watching a recent video on Homesteading Adventures & Raising Kids on the Farm. Such an informative video & hope "families living in or close to a city" watch it & start thinking. Keep up the educational progress. Take Care 🙂 Marge from NJ. We garden in our backyard.
Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals.
Mike, all that scrap wood should be stired with the new srmtuff after each project to keep in better condition and not rotting in the weather.
That is a cute mini quicker tractor. I don't do project that requires assembly .. But this is really cute
For a scrap build looks great. Fun to watch you pull together with your sons.
You guys have inspired me to learn how to get started in how to plant, and I want to get farm animals, but looks like we're gonna have to buy land...lol
Mike- Great to see you re-using products - you need to make or buy yourself a couple of Saw Horses as they really save your back. Great video once again. Cheers Denise- Australia 😃😃
Hi Denise how are you doing
Looks great
Great idea re-using the old metal table for keeping the wood off the ground.
Your ingenuity and resourcefulness paid off. Great job Mike! Val C ❤️🙏🏻
I like the washer on the screw idea. I struggle to have enough force to staple with my stapler.
You can turn a wood blade around backwards to cut tin.
Hi.... Thanks you for showing your video homestead 🏡🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🦃🦮🐈🐐🦆🦢🐝🎥👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Used to get any old windows & doors when ppl were upgrading. Window on top of my brooders made them safer for lites & ease of checking on them. I had old waterers with rotten bottoms for raised gardens or brooder sides. Garage door panels made siding for a coop, camper shell top on wooden frame as my duck hut. So much more
You need a good set of tinsnips, Weiss are the best. Left ,right and center, color coded. They will be handier than you think.
Getting a little wood mill will probably pay for itself in no time, or maybe you know someone who has one that you can borrow or rent for a while. Prices of lumber are crazy anymore, and those little wood mills are pretty reasonable.
Mike You and your family are so beautiful to watch and seeing the boys help you and your daughter amazing!
Brilliant idea using screws and washers!!!
Re-use recycle , pocket friendly build🦆
Awesome job, guys 😊
THE NUGGET TRACTOR!
What happened to the 2nd Yurt? ❤
In a pinch you can put a wood blade on back wards
Mike, I have to ask where you got the Poultry In Motion t-shirt, I would definitely like to buy one.
He got that from the APPPA Conference last year but I don't think they sell them.
Daddy would use a dull wood cutting circular saw blade turned around backwards to cut tin with.
duck tape the roasters mouth. lololol
ThT is a grinding blade. They actually have metal saw blades
Not to mention nails? but screws, door latches, brackets, hinges, hooks, etc. I had to take down a homemade "patchwork" "dog fence". small pieces of wood, fiber glass,etc held together with what ever attachment it had on it...I had a coffee can full of allthat stuff. I did not need hardware attachments for a long time. It took for ever to get that "fence" down...I made it pay...lol.
❤❤
Not me either
You've got this.

Did you create your burn “barrel “?
Your ducks are so dang dirty?????,, move them more 😮
Hello Jean how are you doing today
For as much as you pretend to work hard on your videos, you're property is pretty junky.
How rude ! He does work hard. Plus it’s not your concern how His property looks!
Thanks so much
@@MikeTheFitFarmer You are so welcome!
Smallholdings are works in progress...so lovely to see the changes.thanks
Some of the best things built are made from using scrap pieces.🙏🏼🫂❤️
How do you earn an income by only paying attention to chickens, turkeys & ducks??? 🙄 🫤
Who said that is how we make an income?
