Oh my goodness, that’s exactly what I needed. I’m on the downside part of the hill lets’ say and I don’t like bending over. I have a rabbit cage I put on wooden horses which helps but this is exactly what I’m needing. By the way, glad you’re back, you always have great ideas. I’m saving this one and hoping I can find someone to come over and build me one. 😊 Will be getting my chicks in Mar/Apr. Love you kids, you do such great work and always have such great ideas. Miss the cooking parts too. 😊 The puppy is no longer a puppy I see. God bless, won’t miss a video! Really really missed you kids. If only you could see the smile on my face right now to finally see you back.

So happy y’all are back and doing well!

First of all, welcome back! Missed ya'll bunches... Secondly, a shallow Rubbermaid tote mounted in a wooden track makes an excellent "catch all" underneath, used them on our farm. Thirdly, a PVC system for a feeder works great too. A bucket above, like the waterer, with a toilet flange in the bottom, hooked up to a 3 or 4" pipe stopped 1/2" above a tray on the floor of the brooder will gravity feed when needed. I know, clear as mud, but you're a smart man, you get it. Love ya'll ❤

Work is satisfying with years end, your presence on you tube has been a long missed channel, May many years shower you both with abundance.

So love seeing you guys back. You are both such good instructors and truly have faith in what you are doing.

Welcome Back. You have been missed. I have seen the living traditions version of the brooder and I like how you converted their quail box into a brooder. Great Idea. I will keep it in mind once my husband lets me get some chicks.

Glad to see you guys back. The chickens look comfortable in there. Nice job Jacob.

Oh my gosh Your dog has grown and is very handsome! The chicks will be very happy in that set up!

Judah you have gotten big boy!! Beautiful dog!! So happy to see him.

Enjoyed watching the building of the chick brooder.

O my goodness, I was soooo surprised when I got your notice, I have missed your videos so much. I missed seeing you, Alex, and the dogs. Welcome back. I can't wait to see more of your family. Just to let you know I am 71 years old and I consider the two of you part of my family, love you so much. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Happy holidays and GOD bless you.

So glad to see you back really missed you ❤

Glad your back it's been a long time

I love the Living tradition homestead channel. Been subscribed and watching them for a while. They do have some neat and awesome things they do and build. Still so glad y’all are back on. Thanks for sharing your video even though it’s trial and error that’s how you learn. 😁😁. And a good way for us to learn too. Looking forward to more about the chicks and how they’re doing and growing. ❤️🐥🐥. Take care and God bless.

Hi from northern Australia, great to see you guys. Love that massive big pooch that I’ve seen grown . He gleams. Farming is a great life , I grew up on a farm , loved it and still miss it in my Seventies . God bless you guys

I used the cups with the yellow tabs for grown chickens and I had to work on them and adjust them to keep the cups from leaking. They did not last long. I think that the ones you ended up with should be better. I'm glad that you did this video because I will be getting back into raising show chickens again and I will be getting a cabinet incubator and hatching. Lots of good information, thank you.

Good stuff! Couple suggestions for anyone using your template. 1) make the dimensions the same size as your hardware cloth so you don't have to cut and trim. 2) face your barrel bolt latches down, in case they unlatch they won't open accidentally 3) i have tried many watering cups but also found the ones you used and they have lasted for years with no problems. IMO they are the best.

I've missed your videos! Good to see you and your puppy!

This looks to be a good idea, I watch that channel, I know Kevin was excited about those cages.

@SawyerRidgeFarm

Yes, it has worked out great for us!

So nice to see the both of you back on. For the coup, if the bolts are not latched correctly, they may fall down out of the upper clip. If they are turned around, the bolt may be more likely to fall into the clip and keep the door from falling open. That kind of coup will save your backs for sure.

Great job. Good to see you guys. Chris from England.

I have used the rent a coop cup for the last two years for my flock. I still have my original cups in use. I have not had any leaks out of them, but they can get clogged easily because the area that closes off is only about 1/8" wide. I would certain buy them again. Nice design for the brooder. Thanks for sharing.

Good video. You are a good homestead teacher.

Glad to see you both back, boy has Judah grown he is beautiful Thank you for sharing Check out sow the land he made a pull out drawer for his chick pen he built

I love this build! It can be adapted for so many different kinds of livestock. The only change I would make is flipping the latches around, so the center stem goes down and not up to lock it into place. Great job on the video. So glad to have you back. Hugs to Y'all Ü

Good to see you and your four legged family.

Thanks for sharing. This is a great design that can potentially start a lot of chicks from it. The water cups could be a bit higher or even make it adjustable according to the height of the chicks. Usually we want them to be the same height as chick's back to avoid poop in the water. I tried all of the water device available, the one worked best for me was the horizontal chicken nipples. You never need to clean it. And it can save a lot of water compared with other chicken nipples.

NOW you are officially back! This is the kind of stuff that I like to see. If it works for you, it will work for all of us.
