Coming to you live from Creedmoor, NC is Video Chicken Live where we discuss and answer your questions about everything chickens and coops. Ask any question you want and Matt, Kristen and Ingrid will answer for you. We specialize in chickens and chicken coop construction.
Today's guest is Mendocino County Sheriff Matt Kendall. The sheriff along with the nonprofit group Unconditional Freedom instituted a restorative program at the jail for the inmates. The program involves gardening, bee keeping, and chicken keeping.
Carolina Coops donated an 8'x24' American Coop that Matt helped the inmates build. Sheriff Kendall talks about how building the chicken coop impacted the inmates and how the coop will continue to help other inmates down the road.
The sheriff is a big fan of Matt's and Carolina Coops and tells the audience what it was like to work with Matt on this project. He is a chicken keeper himself and modeled his coop build after a Carolina Coop. The sheriff also talks about the impact on other parts of the close knit community.
We hope this program will be an inspiration to other institutions who will see its benefit. Carolina Coops was very honored to be a part of this experience and program with the Mendocino County Jail and Unconditional Freedom, who filmed a documentary on this program.

Today Matt is live at the Mendocino County Jail where he spent the week helping inmates to build a donated 8'x24' American Coop.
The Unconditional Freedom Project contacted Carolina Coops a few months back asking us to be a part of the restorative justice program at the jail.
Mendocino County Sheriff Matt Kendall was instrumental in getting this program to the jail. He is a fan and fellow chicken keeper. Through the program, inmates will learn about gardening, growing food, chicken keeping, and now building a chicken coop.
Matt speaks with Marissa Ward, program manager from the nonprofit and Kate Feigin, who is a restorative justice program manager at the county jail.
The Unconditional Freedom Project is a nonprofit that aims to restore dignity to the most outcast members of society. They focus on the incarcerated, the homeless and the addicted. We were honored to be a part of this inspiration program. The nonprofit is making a documentary about this experience at the jail.

This week's discussion is on homesteading and sustainability. Many people are calling to order chicken coops because they realize that now is the best time to have chickens.
With store shelves repeatedly empty, supply chain issues, inflation, and diesel gas prices, many have discovered it's best to grow your own food, have access to fresh eggs, and live a more sustainable lifestyle.
Matt, Kristen, and Ingrid discuss water glassing eggs to preserve them for over a year, growing food on your property, preserving seeds, preserving your harvests, and doing all you can to be more sustainable.
Plus Matt unboxes his gift that was sent anonymously from a customer and reads the letter to him.
And we answer viewer questions.

Location, location, location. Today we tackle coop placement and prep. How to determine the best place for your new chicken (or duck) coop. Some considerations are using an underutilized space, or having it close to the house so you can see it, should it be in the sun or the shade? The ground has to be level for our coops to be assembled, but there are different ways to level, or you can build a base. Should it be pressure treated wood base or concrete? Matt and Kristen give all the reasons for different considerations in coop placement and prep.
AND, Matt rings the golden bell and someone got a T-shirt. Find out why.
