Checking in on Cheeseburger and Building some Chicken Crates

people's been asking for an update on cheeseburger there he is out there a month ago that is cheeseburger he's doing good the grass is girl people's loving it cows are lovin goat two loving it got a little harder to get over there they think I got food they're running to the truck over there the truck is on the other side that's a little clip on cheeseburger we're gonna catch some chickens tonight at the house so I had to come and get some chicken crates and you ask what the chicken crate is chicken crate is a been great it's a crate that they get beans with in the field and they sell them to the stores this is a chicken crate it's collapsed and I'll show you how to put them together tonight and tell you what we'll do with the chickens okay we're back at the house we got these chickens running the yard here and they're going this a little chicken house down here at night but these chickens run the art and they lay eggs in here for us to eat but I've got a bunch more down here that I got the other week and they're not laying eggs like we like so basically I've got them pinned off over here these little ones I've got 20 birds in here and I need to get him caught up and we'll get him caught then putting them boxes and then I'll take him to the sale there's there's two roosters and the rest are more hands so 18 18 hands and two roosters I got one rooster out here but you don't need a rooster so when you're putting these birds in the box the sale I'm gonna take him to the Salem want to take them to you it's one and however many times it's in the box so that means like if I put two hens in the box if they bid $5 on them they'll they'll pay ten dollars for the box the roosters nobody wants because you don't need roosters you need two hands for the eggs so everybody's gonna want some hands so the worst thing you can do when you go to sell is put two roosters in a box nobody wants the roosters and like them two roosters there if I put both them in a box they won't bring three dollars but if I put it with one of them hands then hands are worth say ten dollars a piece eight ten dollars a piece I put it with one of them hands that handle branch seven and the rooster will bring seven so I'll get twice as much out of the rooster because I got a hand in the box with it like that little one there that little one ain't gonna bring nothing I mean it's a baby and they're gonna want to pay like say two dollars for her but if I put her in there with one of them good looking hand that good looking hand they'll pray six or eight dollars for and then I'll get you know six dollars out and so I'll get an extra three bucks out of that one so I'm gonna play a little gang there and that's what I got those boxes for earlier today we'll go up there I'm going to show you what those boxes are and how to put them together and I've got a few more birds up here that I'm going to take also but they know to go in let's go in there I didn't show you that they know to go in this little house here they come in this house and at night they got a roosting pole there they got a roosting pole there and then they go in this box here and lay their eggs so we come in there every day and get the eggs we got to put up stuff like this inside because they'll go like they used to they ripped it down again but this net goes over these two holes because they'll go in there and think that's a nesting box and lay an egg in there and you'll have to look in every one of them eaves to get the eggs so the easiest thing to do is just put a box up and then you can get them out of that box but we're gonna go up here and look at these other chickens I think there's about 17 more of them up here 17 or 18 and not exactly sure we're gonna do with these but we're gonna put them in these boxes and we're gonna see so we'll go up here and look at these what's a little but I'm probably gonna put about six or eight of those in each box and they'll probably sell the whole box just get rid of the little chickens like that they don't bring nothing when they're day-old little booties they'll bring about I don't know if you at the beginning of the of the season they'll bring about a dollar darling half a peach set to sell as it goes on they'll get down to eight or ten cents I mean they don't bring much at all them them they're we're kind of late in the season here they'll probably bring and a bag of feed $15 and they've ate a bag of feed in two weeks so I've lost money I've lost eight dollars on them Birds there now if I grow them out to that size that herbs down there in that pen they'll burn seven or eight bucks apiece but they're not they're not gonna bring the money I mean it don't make sense money-wise it don't make sense these bigger birds is running the Ortiz Rhode Island Reds and Marianas and whatever else I got there thanks black six links in there and there's one going from chicken but anyway that that bird there that murdered since it's the Lange hand shield weighing ten twelve dollars to bring a little more for tail was home I got a couple good nice Rhode Island Reds down there young once I bring fifteen dollars face that rooster he might bring maybe five or six bucks he won't bring much but we'll show you how to get these boxes together so right here basically you get two sides and you've got them out like this to make it easier to store [Music] okay and that's what they call it back right and then puts birds in then you shut the top and then you got these and that keeps your bird from getting out and the birds still got plenty of plenty of airflow been--you tabs bend it out pull that one over just a ping up great [Music] grain peanuts corn will come in the same crates but corns a little water but basically this will be like half so you'll have a bigger space here in here which is fine for the bigger bird and that's but you'll have a bigger space in between the holes so what we do if we need to put small birds in there bang would I mean in the corn ones we take and put duct tape around it's fine you can lace the bottom of them with cardboard so basically all you trying to do is keep one day get to the cell they're gonna go across the roller and if their feet they stick down through there and hold around their feet will get ran over and that will up that will help you sell your birds if you don't have these and you go to the actual auction with your birds in another crate they charge you a dollar a peaceful and they'll give them to you at the grocery store if you find a lot of storing them but you don't need to tomorrow we'll we'll grab these birds and put them in these crates and take them to the sale and get rid of so we should be good please comment rate and subscribe and leave comments
