it's the fourth of july can you tell
having a big party happy fourth of july can you say freedom friday
you walk outside let's go outside what's going on right there i am making a gigantic cake for today
i've always wondered what happened to lightning bugs during the day look there is one just
can we go to the field so we can get a peach does the peach tree have fruit
yes a little bit it has a peach
is it ready leave it if it's not ready i think it is there's just that
is it soft though no you want to wait sure let's wait
i brought the milk back you guys got to see this though
so improvements to your electric bike give us a tour turn signals nice do they work yeah
there you go show us what else headlights headlights then some really nice brakes
that work a lot better than the old ones there's disc brakes let's see what it's got
so proud of that kid
look at this cake oh you're giving him some two and a half gallons pretty much
on the fourth of july that's great can you think anything more freeing than having a family cow
because this is like 16 32
40 pounds of food right here
we have decided we're not gonna eat phyllis we are retiring her from this farm we are actually gonna
sell her she just gave two and a half gallons i think she would make somebody a good starter
family cow so if you're in abundance plus you want to be checking out the marketplace soon
we're going to be listing her there we're going to get a another cow that's going to be younger more
efficient uh have four teats phyllis is down to two teaks we need more than i mean two and a half
gallons is a lot but we need a lot so we need more than that t-birds you ready to be a free birds
independence day we are gonna free the t-birds but first let me show you how you would set up
a brooder first the brooder set up this is a bulletproof brooder set up it's a four by six
we've got tractor supply fine pine shavings as bedding it's gotten pretty thick it's it's
it's up to here this is actually giving off heat because it's breaking down into compost
we already had this stall so we converted it to a rat proof brooder half inch mesh doors like legit
outdoor doors but you could do a bin just like this we put 10 around it so the rats
can't get through we put the door 18 inches up you only have to switch out bedding well
when that's basically it's full it is becoming a problem for the turkeys because they start jumping
over into the other brooder put a power outlet there for when they were young for the heat if you
had to build one i would do four by six in your garage perhaps and i would have a opening roof
right here you don't need this kind of roofing it's just we already had the stall built first
thing you want to do for maintenance or setup i guess is get get your stuff out of the way
you want to cover the area with a layer of cages
first thing you can do to set it up is put this homemade dirt trap it's one half inch wire mesh
on a two by four frame with a couple of two by two braces in the middle this gives them a platform
to jump up on the shavings and any other dirt fall into the bedding and not into the water you
may have to bury that when they're young and what i mean by buried is digging around in the mulch
and make this level with the ground right now it's up high and it's no problem because they're
big but when they're little they can't jump up on there next up is an organic turkey starter
that's an organic feed from new country they ship a lot of times you can't get organic where
you are well new country ships next up our water that's a little three gallon vacuum still water
from little giant 20 birds in there leaves us eight casualties which rarely happens
to give us one turkey a month so it means we can sell some turkeys or give some away trade whatever
don't ever forget to take the cap off you have to step up on this cage
any shavings they track fall off there's one more very important thing
turkeys don't have teeth we're gonna get them some rooster teeth which is basically creek sand and
rocks out of our creeks we're about to free these birds we're going to take them out of the brooder
and put them out in the field we're going to be bettering our pastures for our cows first let's
get him occupied on the string trimmer that's what he wants to do what am i going to do argue
we use these premier one pig nets for the turkeys you got em yeah they're super easy to move you can
step right over them without turning the fence off and the t-birds don't get out the phrase should be
t-birds don't get out a lot we need to set our turkeys right here so give me a square just like
that we're gonna put the t-birds on a weaker part of our pasture this pasture doesn't do as well
as some of the best stuff see our sea monsters down there are our cornish cross meat chickens
yeah they've tracked through here look at this okay sea monsters sea monsters in the manure
no sea monsters in their manure before after on this farm the family cow is the centerpiece and
everything complements it everything works around it how do we use sea monsters turkeys gardens pigs
to complement the cow this spot where they're coming will be forever greener because of these
t-birds the cows will thank us time to dust off the old turkey shaw we borrowed its will
for something i guess we'll just grab the wheel off of the mini me we're not using it right now
the turkey shawl we're using a one 100 foot net we are having to use a rubber mallet
because it has not rained so long the ground is very compact and our electricity is in the fence
that's almost it we like to feed water and the t-bird let's not forget the
grit we've set up a soccer field t-pose for goals lily's got a little place for
the fans it's gonna be fun get our stuff we won't need the dirt trap anymore
hang tight guys trust me it's the best day of your life right here
okay look it's already taken to its perch
