PREPARING OUR FARM FOR WINTER STORM DIEGO!!

What happens here

The presenter prepares to relocate chickens from a mobile coop to a stationary, more secure chicken coop for protection during the heavy snow. He plans to do this after sunset, as chickens are easier to catch when roosting.

Goal: Protect chickens from heavy snow and potential damage to the mobile coop

Tools and materials

  • Mobile Chicken Coop
  • Stationary Chicken Coop

What they say

Hide

doesn't get any corrosion inside of it so we're gonna take the truck we'll go fill up all of our fuel canisters another thing we have to do so this is our mobile chicken coop this mobile chicken coop is not going to be mobile in the snow especially in 12 inches of snow so what I got to do tonight is sneak out here we already went ahead and processed that's our chicken plucker we already went ahead and process the meat birds before this storm and you'll probably see that video either early next week or maybe tomorrow I'm not positive but we process the chickens already that we're going to use for meat birds and these birds need to go into the regular chicken coop so tonight after the Sun Goes Down I'll come out catch these birds and I'll take them down here to our big chicken coop where our laying hens live and they'll be just fine right there now there may be a little pecking order but that's okay we'll have a video whole video dedicated to intermingling your chickens with new chickens there is a science behind it so that they don't get pecked to death now we have the Buick Grand National and the Oldsmobile under this shed right here twelve inches of snow on one of these car ports I've seen them collapse before I worry about them collapsing on my cars I don't want them to collapse on my hotrod car for sure I definitely don't want them to collapse on the Grand National so probably what we're gonna do is pull as much as I hate to do this and let them get snowed on but I'm gonna pull out the Oldsmobile in the Grand National just in case that gives way and that way we'll be covered I'll park our attractor underneath there they won't hurt the tractor if the shed kind of gives away a little bit but it sure would tear up the car we got to get the tractor we got to put the bucket on the tractor so we can move snow and we've got to put the scrape blade on the back of the tractor so we can scrape this driveway our driveway is pretty long and as you can see we live way down a dirt road nobody's coming to
