How to turn Old Fence Panels into a DIY chicken Nesting Box! In this video we take a broken, unusable fence and transform it into a functional nesting box for our backyard chicken coop. If you’re looking for chicken coop ideas, nesting box designs, DIY chicken projects, or ways to reuse scrap wood on your homestead, this build will give you plenty of inspiration. 🐔🔨🌿 This project is a reminder that you don’t need perfect materials or a perfect plan, just start, use what you’ve got, and figure it out along the way.

Here's the 5 simple steps we believe every family should focus on, whether times are good, times are tough, or even if the world around us changes overnight. From starting a homestead and learning to grow food, to prioritising health, building strong community and strengthening your faith, these are the principles we believe help families stay steady through every season of life. 🌱🏡 In this video you’ll see WHY? 🌱 Starting a homestead prepares you for any season. 🥕 Learning to grow your own food is such an important skill. 💪 Prioritising health and strength matters more than most people realise! 📖 Keeping faith and the Testimony of Yeshua helps through trials. 🤝 Building community matters more than self-sufficiency. 🏡 and why the homestead lifestyle is best for both good times and hard times! The goal isn’t to scare anyone or talk about worst-case scenarios, it’s simply to encourage people to build a lifestyle that works in every season of life. As @Anamericanhomestead says," if you push preparedness to its logical conclusion… you will eventually end up on a homestead." 💬 Question for you?? (We’d love your thoughts!) – What does “being prepared” mean to you? – What skills do you think matter most for hard times? – Do you Practice the Commands and share the Testimony of Yeshua? – Are you trying to build a homestead lifestyle where you live? 📧 Work with us: homestead.otr@gmail.com 📖 Purchase our Cookbook: https://www.homesteadontherock.com/category/cookbooks 🌐 Visit our Website: https://www.homesteadontherock.com CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 0:22 In Good Times 2:21 In Tough Times 5:37 When we're at War 11:51 Final Thoughts #homesteading #homesteadlife #christianhomestead #growyourownfood #TorahKeepers #preparedness #simpleliving #selfsufficient #homesteadfamily #faithandfamily #homesteadontherock

How to create a green chicken run garden with trees, herbs and plants your chickens can forage from. In this video we transform our backyard chicken run by planting fruit trees, comfrey, herbs and shrubs to create a natural chicken food forest and shaded chicken coop run. If you’re looking for chicken run ideas, plants for chickens, chicken run design, permaculture chicken systems, or ways to improve a muddy chicken run, this project will give you plenty of inspiration. 🐔🌿🌳 Upgrade your watering systems with HOSELINK 💦 Retractable Hose: https://www.hoselink.com.au/collections/retractable-reels Oscillating Sprinkler: https://www.hoselink.com.au/collections/sprinklers Today is Stage 1 of the project as we plant fruit trees, herbs and companion plants directly inside the chicken run to begin creating a small food forest for chickens. Over time this space will turn from bare dirt into a thriving ecosystem where the chickens can forage naturally. We’re learning as we go (definitely not professional gardeners 😅), but that’s part of homesteading....just get in there and give it a go! In this video you’ll see: 🌳 Planting fruit trees in a chicken run 🌿 Creating a herb garden for chickens 🐔 Designing a greener chicken run for shade & forage 🌱 Planting comfrey for chickens 🪱 Adding compost to boost soil life 🍇 Protecting plants from scratching chickens 💧 Testing a Hoselink oscillating sprinkler 🏡 The beginning of our Green Chicken Run project The goal is to slowly turn this space into a chicken-friendly food forest where plants, soil life and chickens all work together. 💬 Question for you??
