Bri, just to let you know, that I think you are an AWESOME mom and such a caring, loving "Goat/Chicken mama". (Art too :) You take such wonderful care of all the animals and they are just SO fortunate to be there with you guys. I agree with one of the other comments, that the chickens are so happy living there, with you all, that they are even laying eggs! :) Bless all of you and hugs to all!

@mhariclare1 6 лет назад

Bri ... I am so impressed with your family and life... I have sat and watched more than a few hours of your videos. Your little family is inspirational...your love for life love and earth. There is no joy more sustaining than that of your family and providing for them with your own hard work . Please be encouraged and keep showing us all your joy for them and your land .... I pulled my first potatoes this year with my daughter and we bounced with joy....keep us in your loop... it’s spectacular ❤️

@mtnmovenfaith 7 лет назад

Bri you are such an amazing mom - I really admire your sweet happy attitude even in 18 degree weather with 6 in of snow. Bless your heart you deserve a HUGE hug from Art.

@aayersvanloo 6 лет назад

How sweet are your kids, Bri! They're so precious. You're doing a great job, mama! God bless you and your family.

@bittybeans5633 7 лет назад

Excellent video! Suggestion: when putting chickens up for the night, put a tarp over cleared ground in front of coop, then in morning just pull the tarp and snow away if not too heavy ... otherwise, an area with the snow shoveled away would make the chickens happier!

@maggievedrenne7379 4 года назад

You are wonderful mother. Your children are very well manners. Beautiful seeing children playing in the snow.

@batpherlangkharkrang7976 5 лет назад

Thank you BRI for sharing us your video homestead chicken farmer garden on RU-vid 🐔🐓🐥🐈🐖🐐🌱🐄🎥👍👍👍

@BioGartenReich 7 лет назад

You could put a compost heap next to the chickens so they can get on it. It warms their feet and they can scratch and do what chickens do... Nice greetings

@benmatthews3732 7 лет назад

You are awesome Bri, looking after 4 kids - including a baby - and now the chickens and goats! Don't forget to take care of you, too. (Beth)

You are doing a great job. I'm watching from Kent near London England. I hope to keep chickens one day so enjoying your journey. I hope people can be kind and sensible and ask appropriate questions about the chickens goats and produce. Everyday you learn more and so do we. Love your relaxing music. Looking forward to more recepes BRI. Great job love Tina X

@LightLynne 7 лет назад

Hi Bri, What a lovely day... cold and peaceful... The kids looks like they had a great time in the snow... What a great breakfast you made! Thank you chickens

@mgm2008 7 лет назад

I like the idea of putting the chickens in the barn at least while there's snow on the ground.

@paulahoffman8230 7 лет назад

Ah, looks like you guys had so much fun! We didn't have much snow @ our NC place - rained all night, turning to sleet. It was ICEY instead and then the wind gusted blowing those sharp particles everywhere! Ponies not real happy - our 100 gallon tanks were pretty frozen right at the top - even though I tried the salt/water bottle trick for the first time. I broke ice, everyone happier! When you clean goatie area, drop the straw on the snow for the chickens. They'll venture out fine & will then dig thru the snow on the mulch piles Art turned the other day. Their feet and shanks get too cold in the snow. I had ducks a couple of years ago. They went SWIMMING in this kind of weather!! Their webbed feet & shanks never seemed bothered by this stuff - even this deep freeze. Love your new intro and music! It's great. Your videos have really changed in the last 4 months. Gives me something to aspire to, LOL...

@bumblebee7922 7 лет назад

Awww.... the goats are SO cute!!!! Maybe the chickens were waiting for you to shovel the snow for them, and make paths! LOL Don't think chickens like snow..... Love how you all had such fun together in the snow. Love watching your cute videos and appreciate you sharing them with us!!!! XOX

@birdlady2648 Год назад

My sister sent pictures that you posted for Christmas of your beautiful kids. Oh my what a beautiful blessing. I really miss you and your kids. Would love to see your adventures again. You are beautiful and such a blessing. God bless you and your children real good.

your children are so adorable! Children and animals have always been my favorites all my life.... Loved the video... :-)

@onedazinn998 7 лет назад

Bri you are so cheerful now :) The ducks swam through the snow...how cute. I think Justin used to shovel just a bit then put food on the pallets to give them a raised surface off the snow. I wouldn't waste straw on the snow unless it's already wet/soiled. My chickens won't come out of their barn either o.- can't blame them but they do have room to fly around in there with lots of straw. Loved seeing you guys having fun in the snow :)

@evalinawarne1337 3 года назад

They were so CUTE mom and her SNOW BUNNIES. We used to make SNOW MEN and SNOW GIRLS. What fun we had dressing them up.

@tenzinpalkyi4732 6 лет назад

You have a lovely family and I love how u greet to your farm animals. So sweet. 😊

@cferris152 7 лет назад

Hi Bri, think you need to put some straw outside the chicken tractor to encourage them to eat and you were right about putting the food closer. Just need the straw, they can't forage much anyway in those conditions so just have to work with it until the worst is over. Hope this helps and love your channel. Claire from the UK

@Becca-Becca-Becca 7 лет назад

Hilarious the cat & dog meeting on the corner! I think the chicken feet might freeze just as other parts of non feathered anatomy do ...I would give them more sheltered ground. You are sure a fun Mom...what a fun life the children will remember ❤️❤️❤️🐐🐐🐐🐓🐓🐓

We always shoveled out an area for the chickens.. eventually we built a protective area for them. Chickens hate snow and rain!

@oldyavannahhadafarm 7 лет назад

One of the best things we had when we lived in Brevard were YakTrax for your boots! Also balaclavas for your face/ears. Stay warm! 💜

@EdiChiArt 6 лет назад

Thank you for reminding me of what the true joys of life are. You and your beautiful family are inspirational.

@CameliaDiamonds 7 лет назад

What a great positive person you are and a loving mommy. Nice video! Shovelling and straw will help the chickens get out of the coop. They need to stay well fuelled to keep their body heat up for those cold days. Recommended they join the goats. Good luck!🍓🍓🍓

@YAYA-bv7po 7 лет назад

Another tip...on super cold days... make your own hand and feet warmers... add about 2 tbs of ice melt(the kind you get to clear your walks and driveways with) add it to a small snack size baggie...put those smaller ones each into the ziplock sandwich sized baggies. When ready to go out, open the snack sized baggie and add 2 tbs water to it, then seal it up and put it in the larger baggie...shake well and it will start warming up instantly! If super cold, you can tuck this in coats and shirts to keep the core body warm too! The kids looked like they had a blast!!

@lizspencer605 7 лет назад

Loved the cat & dog meeting at the corner of the house. So funny! It looked like the ducks were swimming. MY chickens hated snow and wouldn't come out of their coop. I had to put the food in the coop. Also, goats are scary smart about getting into stuff. They will find a way to open that door eventually. You might want to put a lock on it.

@kylarichardson4 7 лет назад

My advice, enjoy the snow! My chickens don't like the snow and stay in the run but my ducks don't mind the snow and will venture out into it.

@crowned.king.immortal 6 лет назад

look up cattle panel greenhouse on you tube. we made one for our chickens in addition to our enclosed coup so they have a dry place to eat and drink and stay out of bad weather. your coup has no shelter from cold winds or blowing rain or snow.

@montseschmidt8172 6 лет назад

Love your way of life You enjoy the nature Congrats to you and your family

@karlagrecar4317 7 лет назад

good job wearing your bibs,cant work out in that snow without them. your new year work out, keep up the great work.

@canadiangirl5159 7 лет назад

I can remember when I was a kid, we had such a cold winter in Alberta, that even though they where in the barn with the horses, the chickens lost some toes and froze off their combs.

@Strevale 7 лет назад

Something I learned from Appalachia Homestead: straw is your best friend in winter. Put down a layer of straw on top of the snow to protect their feet.

@terriefriday2462 7 лет назад

BRI you are doing great. As many have stated chickens do not like walking on snow put the hay the goats have pulled down from their hay manager in front of their house.

@jch1965 7 лет назад

What a beautiful snow! Looks like yall had a great time. 😊👍

@batttylady 7 лет назад

I put a bunch of straw under the coop and some bales around the sides of the coop to keep them warm and out of the snow or wet. They love it.

@helenp81 7 лет назад

Looked like a great day 😊 and your breakfast looked very tasty 😋 try scrapping the snow away for the chickens they really don't like walking on snow, you can just scrap an area for them and put their water and feed there for them, they will be happy then xx

@countrymousesfarmhouse497 7 лет назад

Well done, it's sooo hard to go out in all weather to do animals. Chickens are laying in that weather tells me they are really happy living with you . That snow play sure looks fun

@mountainviews5025 5 лет назад

Hey girl I'm looking through old videos and I guess that I missed one this one and your idea of the bag you used for feeding the goats in the snow IT was a fantastic idea great video love y'all much bye bye bye

@williamchristopher1560 7 лет назад

Im glad you got my share of snow along with yours. You can continue to do so, and ill continue to not charge you for the loss of it LOL

@CanadianFarmGirl1 6 лет назад

Something that helps get us threw icy winter tasks is hand made hand warmers. Just a little square pillow of rice that fits in our pockets. You can heat them up on the stove or microwave if you use a microwave. Then after you fill a frozen water bucket you can pop your hands into a hot pocket to keep warm.

@bethanysworld6789 7 лет назад

agree. chickens in barn while it snows. They won't eat or drink in that condition.

@smokeyangelav 7 лет назад

asa lowe she said in the video that the goats can't eat the chicken feed or they will get sick. That's probably a factor... also they poop a lot and the goats are due to have babies soon.

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

They ate and drank fine. I put hay down for their feet.

@calistarlim3242 7 лет назад

I think that's what Justin did as well. If you have spare pallets maybe you could use those so that you can just shake the new snow off.

@darciisabella 7 лет назад

My chickens eat and drink in the snow all the time. Also in -10 degree weather. We just have to shovel it a little so it's not so deep to where they sink. 😊 They never seem to mind the snow.

@pamelabratton2501 7 лет назад

Oh, I watch him too! Love his show!

@lucasxavier3564 7 лет назад

Ha the first day of snow on the homestead is always a blast ....

@YAYA-bv7po 7 лет назад

Mine won't go anywhere near water or snow LOL If you know snow is coming lay down a tarp...pull it up after the snow and you have ground that they will walk on! Keep the tarp rolled up on top of the chicken coop when not in use and hold it down with bungee cords... keep 4 bricks or rocks close under the coop to put on the corners of the tarp when you lay it out and it won't fly away if it gets windy! And if you get an unexpected snow... you have the tarp to lay down on top of it...saves you from shoveling and wasting hay or straw!

@YAYA-bv7po 7 лет назад

You could also move the chickens in or closer to the barn during winter... next to the barn would help keep the wind off them and this would make your chores easier too!! We move our rabbits, chickens, turkey and quail next to the barn during winter...the goats and pigs are inside (small barn) and place them on the south side of the building to keep the north winds off them... I call it huddling the animals lol

@eve2831 6 лет назад

Stomp the snow down around the front from of the chickshaw out around the bowls. The chickens will walk on the flattened snow after a bit. Also, think about planting a post at the top of that slope then tie a rope to it. Hanging onto the rope will help keep you from slipping.

@teribabe58 7 лет назад

I don't even have chickens, but to me it is common sense that the chickens aren't going to stand in the snow. Put them in the barn! or at least have a place where they can eat sheltered from the freezing cold. And, you have like NO hay in their nesting boxes. That's not good! And they still need a dust bin in their coop like Justin had for them.

@kirstenwhitworth8079 7 лет назад

Yup, chickens aren't crazy about water outside of their water dishes. Ducks & geese love it. Chickens are not as hardy as ducks and geese; they might like to live in the barn during snow season. They get along just fine with goats. A low tunnel might make harvesting the kale easier - but maybe next year. Happy New Year!

@dorascott8286 7 лет назад

Proud of you, a job well done...Sure every one has said "add straw ect" every thing well done...

@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300 7 лет назад

you need to shovel the snow around the chickens and put straw down they won't walk on snow

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

That's what I did. :)

@kkschickensandhomestead2623 7 лет назад

Mine are weird some like the snow lol. But I still shovel all over for them and I have 140 plus chickens and shovel a lot I live up north. I do feed and water inside my coops but they are huge coops in case I feel it is too cold to let them out. They have 2 big out buildings they love to hang out in and I make sure they have paths to them.

@tiffanybecker1591 5 лет назад

Mine have always walked on the snow just fine. Maybe they aren’t the norm??

@scuzzbecuzz 7 лет назад

You have a winter wonderland. Try cardboard or scrap plywood or pallets for the chickens to stand on, not sure they will eat unless you give them something to protect their pinkies

@CleoCastonguay47 7 лет назад

Nice video Bri.... you will probably have to spread some hay in front of the chicken chick shaw to encourage them to come out. If you have access to balsam, fir or spruce trees you could cut some branches off them and spread them out in front of the chick shaw also. Chickens don't like snow and they wont walk on it... they hate it as a matter a fact ! Another alternative would probably be to move them to the barn and make a deep litter for them to work in and absorb their droppings. Hope this helps... :)

@charlenemays2107 7 лет назад

how wonderful looks like you guys have a great time.

@jrwh03-32 7 лет назад

*Chickens hate rain* Snow is rain, I recommend shoveling the snow for a path for them

@napavalley3963 7 лет назад

Suggestion drag a couple wood pallets out there & put them close to the coop. Then put food & water on there until you have time to shovel snow.

@dennism5565 6 лет назад

It is Hot and humid here today, so I watched this snow video to dream of the future months of cold weather...:)

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

@restorationacresminifarm723 7 лет назад

They will adjust to it, and they will eat and drink in the snow as necessary, they won't starve to death. It's 6 degrees at our place and ours are out doing what they need to, but they're used to it.

@brianphilbrook5262 7 лет назад

I shovel a spot for my chickens. It doesn't have to be bare ground as long as they don't sink. Looks like you all had fun

@pattymassey5357 7 лет назад

Yes keep straw in those boxes for better laying. Feed some warm food in really cold weather by soaking with hot water for awhile

@mawpatti 7 лет назад

Bri the chickens dont like the snow...that is why they jumped on the food pan...they dont like the feel of it under their feet and body....you may want to move them closer to the barn area or even in the barn until spring or no more snow expected!! they would be much happier and so would you guys! I know you are just starting out..just trying to help out! :-) yall are doing great so far! Love the videos! Thanks for sharing!

@fiveacrehaven 7 лет назад

welcome to homesteading in the winter! the other day in MN it was -24. but you guys have more snow than us. for now.. the waterer that you use, I stop using those when winter comes and use rubber feed buckets, so if the water does freeze, then just dump over and refill. stay warm!

@theaddictedprepper902 7 лет назад

At night when you close the coop, grab the water container and take it in the house. The next morning you can take it back out, it won't be frozen, and you won't have to play in the cold water.

@LiberLady 7 лет назад

the snow needs to be shoveled and straw put down for the chickens to walk on., they won't walk on the snow. also, the nesting boxes need fresh straw for the hens to lay.

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

They have fresh straw in their boxes. We put hay down. :)

@littlehomesteadnearthebigc6574 7 лет назад

To get chickens outside and off feed bowl, shovel away some snow and put down straw. Then chickens will step on straw, not the feed bowl. Great videos!

@bonnie9354 5 лет назад

I found an old lawnmower tire, and I put their bowls in it, so they kinda have a ledge to eat from, I do the same thing for my goats too, with a large tire.
