LIVE: Free the chickens - To Work

We're trying, we're trying YouTube Live here on the mobile phone. So welcome all y'all. We are near Charlotte. We've got Casey and Tori. I'm going to show you the Chickashus systems here. I'm going to show you how they freed the chickens and the chickens are happier now and they've put them to work. Let me flip this thing around. Hey everybody, everybody's getting in the house. I got to give it a moment so you people can find out and come. Yes, everybody's starting to come in. Let me flip this back around. Hey everybody! Emmanuel, Alicia, Alex, this is going to be fun. Joey, I'm just going to jump right into the content now, guys. Flip it around here. Hey, okay, we got a chick. I'm going to talk to you about how you can free the chickens to be more productive. This is where the chickens were, guys. This is what it looked like before they put the chickens here. When they were done tilling it up, fertilizing it, they threw in the wood chips and the chickens spread it out around like crazy. Good job, Casey and Tori! You You guys are killing it. I'm proud of these guys. Look, we're gonna— let's, let's walk over here and show you. I'm gonna come show you where the chickens used to be. You guys see it? Does that look pretty typical? Yeah. Okay, we have a typical chicken coop here on the left. Okay, we're gonna see how this live show goes, guys. Go, you guys feel free to— who are watching this later, feel free to comment in the comments. And this is a— look, what is this? What it says right there, it says right there, Casey, this is a chicken coop. There's no mistaking it, okay? But they used to have the big chickens here. This is very typical. People— I'm seeing this across the board— people have their chickens in a static coop and run. But you can do better, even on a small scale if you have to. You can set the chickens free And then not only do you get eggs and meat, you put them to work for you. I'm going to show you in a minute ultimately what they're going to do, okay guys? But look, they didn't just waste this area. They didn't just say, "Oh, Justin Rhodes told us to get them out of the coop and permaculture chickens, boohoo, let's tear it down and burn it up." No, they said, "Let's turn it into a brooder." So check this brooder out, guys. And you don't have to make anything fancy. They got some little chicks growing there. Good job, guys, you're killing it on this. Look at the little chicks running around, they're so happy. Wait a minute, what are you guys gonna do with these chicks? We're building a chicken tractor and then we're gonna eat them. Yeah, okay, yeah, up. Okay, so here you go, you have the, the plastic over some wood and you have the chicks under there. You have a heat lamp in there. We are near Charlotte, North Carolina, so it doesn't get that crazy. So let's go see where you're gonna run these guys after that. Probably right here and in the front yard and probably something back there too. They're gonna run these, these, uh, birds right here. Beautiful grass. You're gonna put that grass to work by putting in those chickens' bellies. Okay, we've got one more thing to show you guys. This is the grand finale. We are live. There's Mr. Brown. What are you doing, buddy? What are you doing? What are you doing, Lily? We got Lily. And we got the little dog. What's the dog's name? Addie. Okay, I think that Addie is, is their secret weapon here. She loves those chicks. They've told me the story about how cats have come for those chicks and Addie has stand in between. Okay, now guys, do you recognize something? I'm, I'm holding it out here. I'm going to flip this around and I bet you're going to know something. I bet— did you turn this fence off, Casey? Yeah. Okay, you guys recognize something? Yeah. Does that look familiar, everyone? Sorry, I'm just gonna cut through. Watch me fall down on live TV. Okay, you guys recognize some things? The birds were captivated here. Come on, come on, you can come, you can come, come on, you can come. All right, hold on, Lily. The birds were captivated in the coop. You can get down, you can get down. And now he's used electric poultry net in a place he once cleared, and look how happy these chickens are. My gosh, did you not see a big difference when you took them out of the coop and freed the birds? Yeah, they love it. Okay, so you, you freed them up. They're still electric poultry net, so they're still safe. They are here. Before we get there, look guys, you recognize this? They've just put a pallet out, helps keep the waterer clean, helps keep the food clean, especially with ducks. If y'all don't know, ducks are a mess. Yep. Uh, then we have the Chickshaw. This is totally mobile. The chickens can be in here right now, and then tomorrow if he wanted, he can move it down and do another job. But do you guys see how well they're clearing in here? Look at how well these chickens are clearing in there. Lily chasing the birds. A tub for the ducks. Look, they're tilling this up. Look, also look at the manure in here. See, they're fertilizing, they're tilling. Then Casey can do whatever he wants with this area. He can plant a garden, he can plant a food forest. I think they're actually going to plant or do pasture in here so they can keep rotating the chickens and meat birds and things like that. You already have some of the chicks going in at night, so they go in at night automatically, and he shuts this door and he can move them and move the net wherever he wants to go. So That wraps that up. He has— to sum it up, free the birds, get some electric poultry net, put the birds out in it, use a mobile, mobile chicken tractor or chickshaw like this. And guys, this is a, this is a preview of what we're— you're gonna see in the next vlog. If you're seeing this live, it'll be Friday, it'll be Friday at 1 PM, and we're going to explore their whole yard. Front and back. These are some pretty amazing people near Charlotte, North Carolina. Have a good day.
