In this informal farm vlog, the narrator (Speaker B) and Jonah walk through their morning routine, demonstrating how they manage chickens and pigs to both feed the animals and naturally till their garden. They move feed up onto a roof feeder to keep pigs from eating chicken feed, allowing the chickens to scratch the ground and accelerate soil preparation. Manure is collected for compost, and feed storage concerns are discussed in light of an approaching hurricane, including door access issues and the need for food‑grade containers. The video also promotes an on‑site chicken‑butchery master class scheduled for September 24, with an online version released later, outlining the full poultry production system from chick to market. Additional farm maintenance tasks are shown, such as installing gutter end‑caps and observing cover crops after rain. Throughout, the narrator references farm animals Laurel, Royal, and Almanzo, highlighting their personalities and roles. The tone is conversational, instructional, and enthusiastic, offering practical tips while also marketing the workshop.
Oh, thanks.
Oh, don't let Shiloh get that. This is for the pigs, honey.
When this hurricane comes, we gotta keep having to walk through here because this door isn't open. I tried to bust it open, but it's— they somehow locked it shut.
So yeah, don't bust that door open.
Okay.
They were calling for as much as 1 to 5 feet. I don't know if that was hype 5 feet? That's crazy. They've simmered down a bit. The new prediction is like 5 inches. Big difference. It just crossed my mind yesterday, probably not best to put food directly on these metal cans. Who knows if metal is going to rub off onto the feed. So until we get some food grade, I'm thinking barrels like that. That one's not food grade, the kind we use to soak the chickens after the butchering. I think we just need to put it in here in a bag this time. Okay, who dares go in? Go ahead, buddy. Hey, you're getting all tangled in that fence.
Here, hand it to me once I get over.
I'll hand it in to you. We feed them at the same time so the piggy don't end up eating the chicken feed. Put the feed all up on the roof. Feeder's on the roof. Let's go put the feeders on the roof so the pigs don't get it. Come on. Okay, and then great way to manure the compost pile, throw some feed up here. Great way to scratch it too. Come on in. You're no dummy. This is your private VIP eating room. Put some in the grass that we need tilled. You see, these chickens peck what they can, and then to find the rest, they'll end up scratching it, and we get this grass tilled up faster than we would have before.
For.
You know, pigs tend to be pretty clean animals despite popular belief. One thing they do is manure in one area, and I'm just going to come in and get it, give a little sanitation to the place, and put this on our compost pile. Time to move the ICs. Look, the little rascal. Okay, let's see how fast I can move these guys. On your mark, get set, game begin, go!
I don't think we need to move them all.
You work on herding that chicken, not the guinea. I'll get the feed. 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Whoa, I remember I turned that on. I just crossed the live fence. All right, here we go. 7:30. Okay, give me 8 since I forgot to let them out. They're at the end of a 1-week run, disturbed, fertilized. They're at the end. We can't spare one more day here. Jonah, is it off? Got the sea monsters done. The morning chores are done. We did an on-site butchering event, the art of chicken butchery master class. We did an online counterpart. It was so popular and people traveled so far. I thought, yes, we'll butcher, but let's also talk and showcase the whole system from how to get chicks, how to set up a brooder, how to transition them to grass, how much to feed them. Let's talk about all the tools you need, how to manage that poultry net. Let's do that. That would be September 24th for the on-site workshop. And then that would drip out about 2 weeks later for those who got the online version. Check it out. I'm only going to— like, that's so close, like it snuck up on us. I'm just going to leave that up for a couple of days. Let's say you'll see this Friday, so let's leave this up till Monday at 10 PM. So jump on that if you're interested. Spots are limited. Check out the link in the description for more info. Afternoon chore time. Or should we join Laurel? Take a nap with you, Laurel? Can I take a nap with you? Hmm, I just lay down here with you. Can I just lay down? You got the idea. There's Royal, and then there's Almanzo. He's all tucked in. Let's check our stuff. Either we have some cover crop coming in It does look like maybe some clover or weeds. Let's see if we've got any crops coming in, Jonah. Oh, I think that might be crop right there. Look at that, we have crop! Yes, more, more! It's washed out just from that little rain. They're only calling now for 5 inches, so that's good, but still, that's— that can be a lot of rain, so we'll cover this before that event. Cows moved up. Kennies, do your thing. This is an end cap permanent gutter seal. We'll need that. Okay, apply. Okay, I guess there's two of them. This is not exactly my strong point. Laurel, you just stay relaxing. Easy life. I think dogs figured it out somehow. They're probably actually smarter than us. Because they don't really have to do much. I don't feel like the world at large is a greater place because I've spent some time capping my gutter, but the holler world, the roads world, is a little better place. It's one of those things where you can't really hire this out. Nobody's going to come out to put caps on your gutters. Trim some of that gook off. Had the end cap on now. I did it, I did it. Can't hire like gutter guys to come do that. Such a small job, but it's what comes with home/farm ownership.
