Rework Chicken Tractor For Meat Birds & Homestead Work

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

I am rebuilding my chicken tractor to use as a permanent home for our broiler meat birds. Up till now the chicken tractor has been a day home for the birds only. At night they are hauled back into the chicken coop for protection.

I put some reinforcing boards on the bottom of the chicken tractor and then put some heavy wire down there. This will stop predators from getting to our chickens at night through the bottom of the cage.

I plan to put on some handles and wheels as well, if needed to make moving the chicken tractor around easier.

I put some no smoke additive on the old Snapper riding lawn mower because it smokes badly and has poor compression. I am hoping this will extend the life on the machine until winter when I can fully rebuild it properly. For now I need a mower for our huge yard.

I mowed the edges of the roads since we have private roads and we own the property on both sides. I also mowed some pathways through the woods for my wife and I to walk through.

The mower is getting stronger and smoking less now. The no smoke additive is working I think.

Here is an example of Troy Reid's ebegging technigue
I'm out of voting power give me give me scam.
This is the kind of crap he has done for his whole life.
Do not gives this scum the time of day .
Why do you think he has so many detractors. Because he is a serial scammer and sleazy liar.

All we do is make videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

Our videos are FREE for your entertainment.

No humans are harmed in the making of our homestead videos.

If you do not like us - simply leave.

But harassing us like this is criminal.

you showed us the ground is sand. Nothing will stop any animal that wants to feast on your birds to dig under the board and munch out. Laziness is stopping you from protecting your chickens at night. All it takes is one predator and troy gets content for another "poor us" video. I'm saying I told you so before it happens. It has happened so many times you probably lost count.

Predators cannot get through the wire on the bottom. We have not lost a bird to predators here inside the cages on our new homestead.

These are NOT TROLLS but hard working elderly people that were SCAMMED, taken advantage of by a LYING, DECEPTIVE CONMAN on youtube. You GREEDY RAT BASTARD, work for your own money instead of DECEIVING ELDERLY pensioners. Youtube is not a 'license to steal' for a CRIMINAL FRAUD.

Roll Up, All the fun of the circus has been extended free, yes that’s free of charge for all Steem users that watch Trog’s Daily –blog- sorry filthy lies!

Stay tuned for the next free, yes free
installment!

You sure are an odd one.

All we do is make videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

Anyone can see that for themselves.

Our videos are FREE for people to watch.

If you do not like us - simply leave.

But harassing us like this is criminal.

Telling lies like you do is criminal.

You make deceptive videos of fake destitution, E-beg for money and gifts. Gifts are sold for cash on craigslist. You are SCAMMER, CRIMINAL FRAUD. You use LIES and FAKE video to deceive others to donate. You are LYING CRIMINAL FRAUD.


T-fool said this not long ago. What he really meant was this:

We make FREE videos for entertainment.

Just videos of our daily lives.

You dont have to stay here if you dont like us.

Harassing us is criminal

feminine little wimp troy saying someone is an odd one is pure comedy gold.

Troy Reid, better know as TR, Trog, Leatherhead (because of his dirty stinking greasy old hat that he wears every place he goes even in the house) Turkey Head, Fruit Loops and more, is a full time ebegger, scammer and a fraud.
He has a band of dedicated goons on his YouTube channel that send him their money because he refuses to get a job.
His 100k subs on YouTube, I believe are mostly bought hence the reason for only 2 or 3 thousand views of his no content video.
I think what has amazed me the most since he has been on here is just how nasty he is, throwing random accusations at everyone because he can't delete their comment.
Trogs story of scanning and stupidity is a long one, he is the only YouTuber I know that has a superb dedicated sucks site, it is definitely the best place to gen up on his evil doings.
Come on over, everyone is friendly, it's not the place Reids suckers make it out to be.

http://pakdailymotion.com/watch?v=PqfkQEcalEI

So true!

He is begging for food because he was too stupid to figure that it costs more money to feed more people....


Hmm, Melanie has no respect for her deadbeat husband who makes her and their child live in 3rd world conditions.

yet he swears here on steem that he does not beg and has never begged. Damn those old videos keep popping up and proving troy to be a bald face liar

@damcc that tiny head troy is funny as hell

I use adblock to support troy. Its the least I can do

so do i, i love adblock

Me too!

You are CRIMINAL FRAUD, SCAMMER and CONMAN. Exposing you is not harassment. You are doer of BAD deeds that you don't want known. You have much to hide, SCAM MAN. How about you STOP jacking elderly cat ladies for donations?

We make videos of our daily lives.

There is really no way to hide anything like that.

All the problems are in your own head.

If you do not like us - that is fine.

If you do not even believe us - that is fine.

But to stalk and harass us online and in the real world is criminal.

Some fuker give Poly some crackers!
Listen up Trog and watch, it aint going to stop, we shall not be moved!

You don't really make videos of your daily lives any more. That might account for your dramatic drop in views. Take today for example...you had the whole day off yesterday because you were afraid of the rain. Did you post a new video? Nope. We now know why you don't maintain a normal job. You would probably be fired for insubordination.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

It could be that he was busy picking up junk around the Lewiston area before it is under a foot of snow. He has to keep up on the building of dumpstead #2

Actually I hunted in the rain, as I had said. And got wet. I said that other hunters did NOT hunt in the rain but I did.

Anyway, you would argue with anything I say no matter what.

You were in the house posting on StreemIt within an hour of day break. You weren't hunting very long and the point remains...no video for your 102,000 subscribers on YouTube today. Why?

2,000 subscribers max he has the rest he bought, he does not have the views to match the subscribers... and the rest are leaving in droves look at the content, and he sits on steem now

He got a boo boo on his finger and its to cold for him outside

Your timing is way off. But whatever...

Sorry. I was online at that hour and made a note of the time you were posting on SteemIt. Sunrise is at 7:38 AM...the time at which you can legally begin hunting in Michigan. You were posting online within an hour of that. But whatever...

Your canned reply is a lie. Your videos are FAKE DECEPTIONS of DESTITUTION to SCAM OTHERS for DONATIONS. Your videos are CRIMINAL FRAUD. Exposing a SCAMMER is not harassment. GO TO HELL E-BEGGER!!!

Boy, you are are full of hate and spit.

All we do is make videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

Our videos are FREE for your entertainment on YouTube.

Google pays our monthly pay check, as you already know.

No humans are harmed in the making of our free YouTube videos.

If you do not like us - simply leave.

But harassing us like this is criminal.

No humans are harmed?
What about the little boy you dragged out to your "special"
shack in the woods where your mail order child bride
couldn't see?

bed.jpg

September 19, 2017 video 6:30 mark - "I was afraid he was going to fall on me because I was on the cot underneath." said by Troy in his video. Troy sleeping beneath the 14 year old boy??? REAL PEDO HERE and stuff, oh yeah??? Two months ago with wife 9 months prego right before baby birth. Troy REALLY HORNY in the woods tarp shack with a 14 year old boy.

@thediyworld. Please Define "no humans are harmed".

I believe you have created a long list of Victims from you so-called "entertainment".

As a matter of fact, some of those victims are here due to Your invitation to "have fun and help make YOU money".

You create victims.

I simply make free videos of our daily lives on the homestead

Every time you claim its harassment or criminal I'll down vote you. And of course when you lie.

Bambi will be safe today. What is the problem today? Cold, Hot, fog, snow, rain, humidity, monsoon, tornado, thunder storm, blizzard, hail, tsunami, hurricane, sleet, darkness, freezing rain, sunny, cloudy, windy, lightning, icy or are you permanently attached to the computer?

sand fleas. LMAO

Why would Reid need to have comments deleted or "greyed out"?

Much like his YouTube channel where people that question his words or actions get blocked and banned.

These former viewers that were invited here by Reid to "have fun and help him make money" only want the truth from him and to warn the new, unsuspecting steemit audience of his deceptions.

I will not have you copying my videos and posting my work for your own benefit and then spamming my blog with them.

No way!!!!

"I will not have you copying my videos and posting my work for your own benefit and then spamming my blog with them."

"No way!!!!"

@thediyworld, I believe you are accusing the wrong person here.

I do not have the capability, nor have I posted anything except comments to your contradictions.

Remove them from YouTube I dare ya, that will stop us from copying them.... untill you remove them we will use them as we please :P

No 'daily video'? "All we do is make videos of our daily lives on the homestead". You say that quite often. Another lie! What about your loyal 2000 Youtube subscribers?

@the-diy-world, I recall in his last "sit down, with notes" video, Reid said "don't expect much from me in the next two weeks"

less.png

lol, more like don't expect much since i got a boo boo on my finger, this might be it, he might apply for disability...

troy reid your a DUMBASS

@offgridproject, Anybody can wrap a Band-Aid around a finger.

But who whines about it for eternity (half of the video) and calls it quits for the day?

Where was the blood if it was so bad?

Pfft.

if he smashes his thumb with a hammer he will take off the rest of the year...

He is such a pansy, I've worked with guys that fell off buildings and went back to work

I don't think his subs expect too much anyway. Why break a habit? He's never given them much over the last five years.

Viewers -- ask yourself why there is a website with over 400 members dedicated to exposing Troy Reid of Lewiston, Michigan as the LIAR, SCAMMER, E-BEGGAR and CON MAN that he is! He loves to put on a sad face and whiny voice to appear destitute and get the elderly and infirmed to send him cash donations and gifts of tools and supplies to keep him afloat. He even said in the comments of one of his videos that he recommended that when looking for land to buy/rent for homesteading, you look for elderly people with land for sale because they're more likely to ignore the rules and laws. HE PREYS UPON THE ELDERLY. And don't get me started about his relationship with a convicted pedophile named David "TJ" Hansen (it's all there on his YT videos to see) and his playing with a teenaged boy. What 48-year-old man that you know has play time with teenaged boys??!?!?!

what year was this taken

Warming up. People do that sometimes. Oh, and people sometimes eat too.

No heat in the spank shed?

You dont hunt in a work shop in your yard.

@watertower has heaters in his deer blinds. He can stay out and hunt all day, if needed.

@watertower also takes food and drinks while hunting in the blinds.

With a ruuf, walls, carpeting, cozy chair, off grid lights, It makes for a more pleasurable day.

"Warming up." You are the one that tells us 40 degrees is short sleeve weather.
Real hunters go prepared and actually travel more than 50 yards from the 95% On Grid shack. Real hunters are out at daybreak not in the 95% On Grid shack hugging the propane heater. Are you still running everywhere ate a rate of 15 miles a day? The only place you run is from the On Grid shack to the spank shack when the anchor baby becomes annoying. Other than you there is not a person on this planet that does not feel bad for that kid.

Troy is waiting inside his house for a fawn to walk by so he can kill it like in NY killing under sized deer

Bambi....

Got another one today.

under weight a baby and less then 6 months old, yup that sound like you would do that again

Real men only shoot 10+ point bucks...

Hey Troy, I thought you used rechargeable LED lights in your house? Why is the ceiling light on, which clearly is drawing power from the grid?

95% off the grid allows for some exceptions I would think.

@thediyworld, I am not understanding how you came up with the figure of "95" percent, off grid.

Can you please explain how you calculated that with the number of items on grid, as opposed to now off grid, to determine that number.

Is your freezer, stove, oven, refrigerator, water pump, and those devices we see plugged into the wall charging next to your couch also exceptions?

All will soon be explained.

How to explain last 8 months of LIES that 600 watts of panels runs trailer and cabin plus freezer in garage. You are HUGE EFFIN LIAR!!! You are NOT OFF GRID at all. Your grandiose LIES are scientifically impossible. You lie to keep off grid project name. You are ONGRID in a vacation trailer property NOT HOMESTEAD.

And you, little troll, like to change facts to confuse people.

I have a side by side fridge and freezer which I ran all summer.

300 Watts.

If you do not like our videos - just leave.

If you do not believe us - just leave.

But harassing us like you do online and in the real world is criminal!!!

See, that's bullshit Troy. You said you had two 250-watt solar panels. At best in the summer they would produce 2 maybe 2.5 kilowatts of energy on a clear day. Your 300 watt refrigerator would consume all of that (when sunny), which means you would have no energy to spare for all of your other needs (i.e. stove, oven, electronics, computer, lights, pumps, etc.). What's more, you had no batteries hooked up to your system by your own admission, which means on partly cloudy days, on cloudy days, or at night your refrigerator would have NO power to run. Troy, just come clean. I think it would relieve a lot of stress on you. Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows your 95% claim is full of shit.

Side by side motor will NOT start on 300 watts, needs 1500 watts to start that you don't have on solar. That side by side fridge is ONGRID. You also have freezer in the garage claimed to be on solar but is ONGRID. You lie for offgrid project name. You have shown NO solar equipment with dozens of people asking. YOU ARE LIAR!!!

Caught in another twisted lie. You uploaded a video Sept 12, 2017 titled "Moving into Our Tiny ~ Chalet~ For Winter" In that video you showed the audience of you starting up the side by fridge for the first time. Matter of fact you were storing junk in the fridge!!! The fridge was full of boxes. Here is the link https://nicktube.com/watch?v=YdM07VAZ1iw look @ 3:38 You are a liar and pos.

any true off grider would be so proud of that they would show it on film immediately but since its just talk and lies and can't be shown because it would torpedo your channel for the scam it is.

@martingardner, Notice how Reid avoided answering how he claims to be "95%" off grid?

I have a solar powered calculator.
Does that mean I'm 100% Off Grid?

I am totally off grid just like troy and my electric bill is only $300 a month- gotta have air conditioning

@thediyworld, why so long to "explain"?

An honest, credible person that claims to have "Nothing To Hide"
and be a "Do It Yourself " YT show should have had absolutely No Problem showing proof .....7 months ago.

But the shell game continues I suppose.

Soon?!? You said you were basically off the grid starting in June. Now the truth is starting to slip out. Why was it necessary to lie? Just tell the damn truth.
