We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.

Cat purrs are the best thing ever! I have health issues and my cat always knew when I was in pain and would come and snuggle and purr like crazy. She was my best friend for 18 years. RIP Cali, I miss you 😢

Cats are always tricky to get a collar back on. I have had cats my whole life. I find when they are all calm together and sleeping or resting it's easier to get it back on. Don't talk about it or mention it with your words that you are going to get the collar on him. Just when he is sleepy and resting, just walk up to him and put it on him. Make sure all the cats are calm. They respond to the excitement of the others and won't cooperate when everyone is high energy. Be slow but deliberate, and you will get the collar back on Mango Chad! Give Mango lots of love and affection right after you get the collar on, so it is a positive reward with touch versus treats. Hope this helps.

I don’t remember this issue when Mango was younger. So now Bubbles and Mango I have difficulty. I’ve been ignoring him the past few days but I can tell he’s keeping his distance. I’ve tried getting him when he’s resting or eating and as soon as I take a step closer he bolts, it’s like he’s scared of me now.

My mother lives with me after my father passed away I have shown her your videos and she is completely hooked. We foster for strain abandon cats. I have five at the moment they are special needs kitties. We keep them the rest we get spayed, neutered, and homes. She’s watching your videos now she has asked. Is this man married because I’d like to talk to him and see if he’d like to marry you and adopt the five cats with it they’d have a great time there. !! Hahahahaha Yes, he’s happily married ! And told her that you have this that can be rented so people can see the farm life and she is very interested and I think we’re going to look into it as we live in Ontario. If it’s not too far from us, we would love to come and meet on the farm my son and daughter who are 23 and 21 would love to join us, they also watch her videos! It’s rare to see genuine, kind, caring people that work with the planet instead of against it and provide a wonderful life for their animals as well as showing and educating people on this lifestyle thank you from the bottom of her heart you and your family are wonderful people ❤

@Duck95ish

the mrs and I were literally just talking about when you guys might do a duck pond and ideas on cleaning and repurposing water, as ducks fowl up water real quick. you guys make all the homesteading look effortless
@HiddenSpringFarm
@HiddenSpringFarm 2 месяца назад
Yes my idea is to make the pond fairly deep for the size but also building it right beside the garden. Not exactly sure how it’ll go but if the water is bad I can pump it into the garden as fertilizer water. Hopefully I won’t need to do it very often though as the muck should go to the bottom and the filter will help keep the water clear. Algae could be an issue too, that’s why I’ll try to makes some ledges for aquatic plant life but who knows if the ducks will ruin the plants. It’ll be a good learning experience too 😁
@Duck95ish

@@HiddenSpringFarm we used a radial swirl filter to extend the main filters dutycycles between cleaning, made it easier to clean out the sludge from the system too - the swirl filters have a nice drainage valve at the bottom. Water was fed into the system via a sump tank type pump that could handle light solids, last step from the filters before it cycled back was a uv-filter tube. One seemed to work really well.

One of my goals in starting this channel was to be consistent to try to build an audience but it is tough sometimes. Some weekends I’ll film 2 videos or I’ll film before going to work. Weather dependent too like for example I have this morning free so I was gonna work on this pond but guess what…it’s raining 😂 Few evenings a week it’s editing all night. I’ll love it though, the channels getting some traction and I just try to keep improving my videos but building the farm too. Fun times 🤩

Goodmorning Chad 😊. How are you today? You have quite a lovely bunch of people here that enjoy your content, as do I. What a positive group of people. It is a pleasure to watch, and a pleasure to read these pleasant comments! Hello neighbors 👋 a shout out from Lethbridge Alberta! 🇨🇦 I do have a question: What happens when you have too many roosters? In-fighting? Or other problems...
@HiddenSpringFarm
@HiddenSpringFarm 2 месяца назад
Aww thanks for joining us, lots of Canadian folks here too. Last year I hatched some Rhode Island reds and ended up with 5 cockerels. Once they were old enough to bother the hens I separated them and now many months later have harvested the last 3. I have sold roosters before too but RIR is most common so I pot pie them instead. My Darlin makes the dog food too, she’ll put a whole bird in a crock pot with rice, carrots bok choy and green beans and the dogs love it. I do not care to eat roosters in general I find once they get older the meat is tougher than a hen. I keep just 1 roo per flock and yes if I let them all into the yard at once they’ll fight. Sometimes if they grow up together they won’t fight but ours have been separated for years now and they wanna protect their hens from the other guy.

My cats for some reason only have a collar issue with my boyfriend. Every time he tries they run for it but I let them smell my hands and I give them scratches. Then really fast I put the collar around em and clip it. The only one that tries to give me any trouble is Slinky but she’s got that tortitude so it’s not surprising. I wish you luck though!

I love your videos and your farm, love your cats and dogs! But I do not think dogs are supposed to eat poultry bones because they break into shards and can cause internal bleeding. One of my dogs died from internal bleeding was told caused by chicken bones. Please research to see if it is true. Keep up the good work!
@HiddenSpringFarm
@HiddenSpringFarm 2 месяца назад
I appreciate the comment. Cooked chicken bones are a no no cause they splinter. Raw bones are fine but the feet only have tiny bones anyway. Even still I don’t give the dogs any cooked bones cause I’m scared what harm it may cause. The feet have a lot of cartilage too. Always better to be safe right 😉

Feel free to disregard this but maybe Mango doesn't want the collar back on since it was too tight for a long time? Perhaps check the other cats if you haven't already to make sure the ones who've been growing also don't have collars that are too tight
@HiddenSpringFarm
@HiddenSpringFarm 2 месяца назад
I doubt it, just because all the cats wear breakaway collars. Really if the collars were too tight they would breakaway all the time. But Mango has never been the cuddling type, I can pick him up but he struggles to get away fairly aggressively. Tango is not a cuddler either but at least I can hold her more than Mango. Fozzy, Dexter, Chunk & Maggie I have no issue picking up and cuddling and I can get their collar on and off no issue. Mango’s a tough cookie 😆
