Why Everyone Should Have Chickens! Living a more sustainable life is easy!

What happens here

The farmer displays gourds grown on the farm, which are aged on top of the chicken coop. These gourds serve a dual purpose: providing shade for the chickens and being cured to eventually be made into birdhouses. A time-lapse then shows the completion of the Premier 1 poultry netting installation around the entire garden plot. The farmer notes that they may not even need to electrify the fence due to the ample space provided for the chickens.

Goal: Old gourds are repurposed for shade and birdhouses, and the completion of the garden fencing is shown.

from experience and overtime these are our gourds that we grew here on the farm we've got a lot of gourds and these just aged right here up on top of the chicken coop and they also provide the chickens with a little bit of shade so year after year we take our old gourds and we put them right up on top of the chicken coop all this stuff is for the garden later but we put all these old gourds these birdhouse boards right up on top of the chicken coop and we make birdhouses out of them so they provide shade and they dry out good they're they cure out and we make birdhouses so the next thing we're going to do is we're going to get this premier one fencing poultry netting we're going to go all the way around the chicken coop we probably won't even have to put power to it because the chickens will have so much room to run and play and do their things and be chickens it's just gonna be awesome let's get busy [Music] probably gonna hear the drone in the background but this is a roll of premier one poultry netting it's electrified right here by those little strands or little strands of electric wire aluminum aluminum eyes are aluminized electric
