That chicken coop is a work of art. You must take a lot of pride in your craftsmanship. Worthy build to say the least.

Well said🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

So we have 200 hens on pasture. Over 400 feet from the house in mobile tractors with flexinet moveable solar electric fence. Biggest loss can be from raptors. 2 or 3 roosters with the hens really help. When they see a bird overhead the roosters put out a call and you can see all the hens run to be under the chicken tractors. The rooster guards save us lots of birds. Ditto with the bears and bobcats. Roosters let the hens know when danger is present. There is a purpose for all animals in nature, including the good old rooster.

I am 65 years old. Have had chickens and guard geese all of my life. Love my chickens.

​​@@doctordutchFor ketosis you just need a diet with no carbohydrates, and can eat as much as you want. Check your labels, but for the most part that's meat, cheese, eggs, and a limited number of veggies, just NO carbs. Seriously check your labels, carbs are in everything. Keep in mind on this diet muscle building exercises should be avoided as it can damage your organs. Done properly, you will lose weight FAST. consult a doctor for sure.

You start craving beef, beef fat, eggs, bacon, butter, salt, all the things your body has been trying to tell you it wants, ever since you were a kid.

In the NC mountains, farmers grow corn for a chicken farm and then use the chicken poop to fertilize. They get the highest yields in NC for their category of corn every year.

Simple life Alaska has some great suggestions for chicken food! Also to keep egg production optimal they have a heater that burns one gallon a day! Something to think about Shawn

Be sure you put your fencing deep into the ground so that predators cannot dig under the fencing...i had to part with my hens when a weasel set up shop under my coop. they can wipe out your whole flock in a day. Good luck Sean!

Shut up! Waiter, I'll have whatever he's having!

I really hope you do a follow-up with your parents and their body's response to ag1 I've been looking at it for a long time couple of years at least but as a senior I've never seen anyone else that's my age take it, so I would be really interested. It sounds like your parents and myself are kind of in a similar situation as far as our food needs and health go. So please do a follow-up with them and let us know.

I think it’s freaking fantastic that you have learned so much about nutrient rich foods, and your new way of eating has helped you so much, more people should do that, and I’m interested in getting AG1, I would also like to eat better. My BP is high, along with my cholesterol. It’s time to make a change. Thanks for very good advice!

One of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much is that it is rare that I don't learn something new. It looks like your chicken coop is going to be a work of art! Can't wait to see the finished building. 🐔

Thanks for sharing Shawn...interesting information about the food quality in general today. Glad you are able to have such a healthy garden there.

66 yrs old and just ordered AG1 perhaps when it kicks in I will feel like riding bike again. The pedal type. I work full time in a paper warehouse so I get a lot of lifting but no energy when I get home. Thanks for your review I trust you and I bet I'm not alone on that. That's the fanciest looking chicken coop I have ever seen. Thanks again for all the videos

There are a couple of channels I watch that are getting carried away with the product endorsements - AG1 and Bluetti. 😍🇨🇦

Shawn I looked into AG1 for my family. My concern is the 18mcg per gram of Lead. The FDA states that a small amount of lead isn't necessarily harmful in products such as these. However, I will have to do more research before considering using AG1. Thank you.

One change you forgot to mention is the change in your physical appearance. You have regained your stellar appearance you had in your earlier videos....Sauna first use video anyone?? Thanks for all the effort you have put into your channel, especially your creativity and technical prowess in your videography, editing and choice of pics of the beauty around you..

Living soil is what the world needs too quickly head back to because it does many things not just feeds the plants roots. Thanks Shawn.

More important than ever to have a good diet and supplement well. Your physical change is obvious,looking good. I'm 72 with reasonable diet and supplement well. Even with that it is not enough. Now in summer along with work, I swim close to half a mile every day to keep the respiratory/circulatory system functioning well. I'm lean and have similar complexion as Shawn. The coop design is fantastic! Impressive!

Put a fake animal like a snake on top of the coop to scare off predators. Ironically we had a fake owl we used to scare off chicken hawks.

Aroha from New Zealand🐥 As an avid bantam-aunty, so glad to see chickens “gracing” your self-resilience🐣 I have just started making bio-char in simple metal can retorts, in my woodburner - it works!

Awesome chicken coop! I just used the compost from my chickens in my garden today, you will love what it does for your vegetables. Great work!❤

Can't wait to see the coop done! Love all the videos

This moment brought to you in part by AG1.

There's no substitute for your own chickens. We have 15 chickens and a rooster, and we are getting a dozen eggs a day.

I’m glad you’re talking about AG1 because I hear it on 4 of the KZread channels I’m currently following and not one of them explained what exactly it will do for you as you have described. The rest of them just say it gives them energy bla bla bla. I feel better about giving it a try listening to you. We’ll see. Your videos are really made well and I thank you for your in-depth discussions of sustainable and changing lifestyle. (Yes even men can change their minds). Bring on the chickens!

Another influencer going for AG1... wonder what the alternatives are for this over-priced marketing machine company.

I'm 75 this year and I'm doing AG1 also since February. Let it replace my coffee. Blood pressure is down but not to the point I can quit the meds yet. Like the taste and the ease of using it. Really like the travel packs and the convenience of that. Feel a lot better as the main benefit. My joints don't hurt as much as they used to. Keep going Shawn. Love ur channel.

Very good info Shawn. Thanks for telling us the why factor in your reasoning to better understand the choices you're making for your entire family.

Right there with you on the quality of our food. We got a gift certificate for a steakhouse, and I really do not want to use it. I started using volcanic dust on my garden as well. Composted leaves also add minerals to the soil. Had to refill my raised beds this spring. Put in a layer of composted leaves with composted herbicide free horse manure over the top. You should see how well my strawberries are making a come back. Went keto this spring and my blood pressure dropped down to normal as well.

Awesome job Shawn! Stay healthy and fit!

Shawn, I ordered AG1 and received it yesterday. I started it today. Wow, energy! I fractured my back 10 years ago. Low bone density. Im anxious to see how this goes. My name is June

That’s a beautiful owl feeder you are building! 😀 Kidding. Congrats on your new diet. And seriously, the coop is really nice. Seems to have a Japanese feel to the roof lines.

Shawn, this is and has to be the best commercial I ever watched! Full stop. You endorse a product and perfectly explained why! Not only explained but showed and informed me why and how it all fits together. The bit about the farmers growing crops in worn down soil and only replenishing the plants needs for growing it is overlooked by all except the farmers themselves!!! Well done.

Thanks for sharing your time n talents with us today!! Lots to know... 👍🦊🧙‍♂️🐺🤙

I’ve had chickens for a few years now and just one of the great things about having them is the poop is fantastic on my garden! Another boon to having them is that they’re always ready to help me by eating the leftovers when I clean the refrigerator out, lol. They love scraps! For mites etc… I use First Saturday Lime in my coop and run. None of the dozens of chickens I’ve ever had have had varmints on them. I swear by the Lime and it’s safe for my cats and dogs too, though I don’t use it one them.

Best of success with the chickens, 🐓 Good to see your progress.

So glad Shawn has the guts to share the good news he's discovered. He wants the best for his listeners, and your diet while homesteading is extremely important.

I have chickens and rabbits . Under the chicken roost I put leaves and straw and the chickens will scratch through it all year long so that it turns to some really good fertilizer for my garden . I mix the rabbits droppings with it . I’ve done that for two years now . My garden is getting most of the organic stuff it needs . I have a mulch bed where everything that’s scraps goes into it . I mix some of that in my garden as well . All the chopped up corn stalks , pea vines , potato vines and stuff like that goes in my mulch bed all year to be put in the garden in the early spring . That’s all I put in my garden for fertilizer .

You have accomplished SO MUCH since the last I watched your vids. Everything looks fantastic! WOW You guys have a beautiful home!😊 AG1 sounds great. I need something like this, and might just have to break down and purchase some….thanks for the tip! Love LOVE your home you did yourself proud,

Dam brother you look 10 years younger than the last time I watched you. I've been on a keto diet for a few months and havnt had those kind of results.

Hey Shawn my parents taught me that if someone changes their mind about anything, then you best better believe that they have a reason and that’s why I don’t question or judge. Great video! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

@shawnjames. Glad to hear you are focusing on nutrient density, vs. just caloric intake. Am interested in what ever happened to the logs you seeded with mushroom spore? Are they fruiting yet? They would be classed as a superfood. And you know how to forage, but many of us don't. Secondly, I live in the USA zone 7B. I have the advantage of being able to grow green veg almost all winter long (spinach, kale, peas, broccoli, celery, lettuce, kohlrabi, parsley, etc.)...but when summer rolls around, that all goes to seed. I'd like fresh (because once you get spoiled growing your own, everything from the grocery store looks almost inedible). I have thought about growing things hydroponically inside during the searing summer heat. And leaving my outside garden to those foods I can preserve (in moderation as, except for sweet potatoes, they are NOT the A-1 veg.) Do you think the AG1 is a replacement for all those winter crops, considering hydroponics are artifically fed (unless you raise the fish whose waste fuels that system-- a major chore)?

*Good on you Shawn! Daily healthy diet plus exercise are on your side, and should you want to go further, try the intermittent fasting as well with a small window for consumption within a 24-hr period. Take it from a former diabetic2 with high blood pressure and cholesterol, you would feel much younger and energetic with that integrated approach! Love your channel, so inspirational!*

Come to my house and I’ll show you a backyard garden that I keep adding too every week. Hoping to have a big harvest before I plant the winter vegetables. I have mint in various places of the yard to combat rats, which has been working. Propagating as I go also. Then in my front yard, this will be medicinal plants like chamomile, ginger, garlic for now. Researching other things I can plant in my climate, which is zone 10b. We would love to get chickens, but zoning in my urban area is not too fond of that.

I’d rather watch 15 minutes of Cali playing

I really enjoy your videos. So peaceful and knowledgeable. Your videos bring a calming grounded feel to my day.

Love seeing the owls.

Chickens can be a little extra work but eggs are always a good thing, chickens eat most of the food/garden garbage, they provide fertilizer and can potentially help fighting pest in the garden. All in all they will probably be a nice addition!

Dude, congrats to you and you wife for changing your diet and getting healthy! Its so great to be a human and to be able to change our minds.

Aloha Shawn ⛱️ I really enjoyed this segment you shared about the quality of our intake that most people these days are lacking of true nutrients!

Would expanded metal work for the coop? Its really stronger than hardware cloth.

Wonderful news, Shawn, wonderful news!

I like the powdered greens and reds from LiveGood company, they are same good quality but way lower priced.

We have a backyard flock for eggs and meat for the same reasons. Only use organic feed and free range on our property, with 10 hens and one rooster our feed cost is about $4/ dozen but they are a large breed with quite large eggs. Is it worth it? Yes, we know what they eat and they are excellent gardening tools and fertilizers. I use deep wood chip bedding in the greenhouse for the winter which gives us great mulch for garden pathways and compost base.

Would you please share the change in diet, how you got lean, what you stopped eating, and dropped 17 lbs. and what you supplemented into your diet ? Would really appreciate it. I do drink Ag1 + the D3 ~ Thank you 😊

I live in Texas, we were at a place lot of trees , a table .so we stoped to eat. It was late ,I can't walk good so my son drove his truck up close .when we were getting ready to leave. I guess our truck made some noise there was a huge owl he took off flying just over my head. His wings spand looked like a 747 . It took off scared the heck out off us. It was a white owl. I have never seen such a big one. Beautiful bird I wish I had taken a picture. I was too shocked to think about it.

Ur so much better appearance comparing to years initial video . Congratulations 👏 often healthy conditions can be told by looking at our outlook

That AG1 tasted good and gave me energy, but 4 days later I was constipated for several days. I had to stop using it.

thanks for sharing shawn ngood day to you sir

Shawn, I had noticed you looked leaner and better. I'm going to try the AG1 drink and hope I get similar results which I need very much. If I'm successful which I think I will be I'm going to buy it for my brother for Christmas or sooner. Thank you for the health tip.

Nice vid, and good info.

Good luck with the chicks! Always wondered about nutritional values of food. They measured them in the 70's originally. And it's not like they measure the value every year and all over the nation. And I doubt farmers do soil nutrient tests either. I've assumed the data was off for a long time...

eggshells are super productive for gardens as well and the chickens will also benefit

Awesome barred owl footage and nice to healthy two healthy chicks. Hopefully they don't get too invested in your chickens to warrant going after them and potentially injuring themselves in the process. I have a friend who also lives up north in the woods who did the same thing actually. He said he got great eggs but for the predators that live there, it's like putting the holy grail of good eatin' for everyone to notice haha

You’re looking very fit and healthy, Shawn- kudos to you and your wife as you continue this journey to better health - My husband and I do try and take supplements but will try the AG-1- but as with anything we put into our bodies and/or add supplements like this, it’s always wise to check with one’s Doc or NP, PA prior as it may intercere with any current meds one is taking-- I’m a semi-retired cardiac nurse that has our own channel up coming- We Always watch your vlogs, Shawn- All the best, brother

Wow, your the same age as me and in way better health lol. Maybe I need to do what your doing.

Yep I remember you saying that...but looking forward to why you changed your mind

Years ago I lived near a place that had top soil and compost in big piles .you could gig your own. .I took two big trash cans filled them up with mushroom compost. Then tryed to lift them on to the truck. My two sons helped .thay were 10 and 12. It was a struggle but we did it. I dug up the side yard got rid of grass tilled the ground with compost. Planted the whole yard with flowers all purple and yellow and white. It looked so beautiful. There was a big planter by the entry to house with a covered walk way all the plants looked sorry one bush dead, I pulled it out. There was a big hole ,so I filled it up with compost. You wouldent belive how the plants reacted creeping charlie, leaves size of a nickel were now size of a baseball. Spider plant was wild. I pulled out a big one I thought, ,but the baby's had baby's. Ibplanted it in a pot on a iron stand the baby's covered the outside of the pot , about 3 or 4 feet it was gorges. Unfortunately someone stole it and some others one in a wheelbarrow full of flowers. There was mor , but it makes me angry . So I will stop thinking about my loss.
