    That looks like a less labor intensive way to move them. Still hard work but worth doing for sure. It's cool watching you all figure out what works best for you. I can imagine others are taking notes who are looking at doing meat birds.
    So is that tint chick a farm chicken for real? Pretty cute. I as laughing at my reaction to it realizing if I ever get chickens I'd need to be careful or I'd become would a crazy chicken lady in a heartbeat.
    Thanks for showing us how moving a those chickens is done. 💕

    I think this heat and humidity make ever outside job way harder.
    Glad you all got it done.
    And it did look easier then last time.
    I think I'm done with summer and sweating lol.
    Im ready for fall.
    Big hugs.

    Y’all all work so hard!! I worked on a farm till I was grown. Some of my best memories is working on that farm with my parents, grandparents and 5 brothers and sisters! I think that is what keeps us so close today it’s our shared memories of those 350 acre fields.

    That looked a whole lot easier than trying to herd them in and out of the stock trailer.

  • @christiansingle1
    @christiansingle1 3 роки тому +4

    Yes, team work makes the dream work. I'm only stumped by one thing. Why didn't Andrea and Emily take a crate to the chickens and load them instead, to cut out all that walking back and forth?

    • @darlaherbst5929
      @darlaherbst5929 3 роки тому

      Agree, then use two wheel cart to move a few crates forward. Maybe just move the chicks forward.

    • @VWFamilyFarm
      @VWFamilyFarm  3 роки тому

      Cuz we trapped them up front so there wasn’t much walking.

  • @robertschroeder1978
    @robertschroeder1978 3 роки тому

    Great to see you all today. On moving the chickens, I recommend making a ramp from the Semi-Trailer to the livestock trailer and push them forward. Use then in opposite to move into Chicken Tractor. Ben, regarding the wasps! I remember the VLOG of the upside down hive, not a good day for you. Water in the bucket, perhaps not the best of ideas!

    Thanks everyone for the update on the farm... Blessings to everyone...

    Going to tell y'all that my mom and dad used to work for Miss Goldie Chicken House growers and when they would bring those chicks in and those crates they would just turn those crates upside down and put those chicks out on the ground they didn't handle them chicks like y'all do but I know it was easier this time you might want to try that next time just to dump them out of the crate and see how it goes God bless we love you Sandra from south Mississippi your family is awesome

    A dumb question from a northerner. Wouldn't it be easier to rotate or add a side door to the trailer so it lines up with the mega chicken tractor? You then can "herd" the chicks. No more crates, less work/free time.

    • @VWFamilyFarm
      @VWFamilyFarm  3 роки тому +1

      It’s a long ways form the house with no gates wide enough for it to fit through. It like 30 ft wide, so we couldn’t get it there anyway.

  • @minnesotagal507
    @minnesotagal507 3 роки тому

    Those crates need to open more for easier emptying. Like a drop down side?

    What kind of feed do you feed all those chicks once they are out of the brooder?

  • @teresamurray250
    @teresamurray250 3 роки тому

    Why not just move the schooner up there and shoo the chicks into it and then slowly move the schooner to where you want it?
