SUBSCRIBE and help support the channel. And don't forget to drop a comment. It helps us to build this channel into something special. We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. 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.

I'm glad that Olive is a smart girl and dividing her time between the two of you. I'm also happy to hear that "your darling" has a name! Remi is such a nice name! Mystery solved!😂

@HiddenSpringFarm
@HiddenSpringFarm 10 дней назад
That’s a great plan I think, would have to be secured somehow so the wind won’t tip it over I guess. I don’t have any animals too far from water so it’s not an issue yet but it’s a good idea.

Since watching your farm I have read quite a bit on the old english sheep dogs. As a kid I wanted one but never did have a sheep dog. So I have enjoyed Molly and Olive. The farm is looking good so until next time, have a great day..

I love y’all’s farm! I know it’s hard work to maintain but you make it look so easy. Y’all’s garden is fabulous-envious to even the most seasoned gardener. I was glad to see you put in a pond, I’m sure the ducks and geese are too! When I heard about Mollie, I was heart broken for you both. It was an awful tragedy and I know the person who did it has to be so upset. So sorry that happened. The claw crew looks so happy too-they’re very lucky to have you as their cat dad. I heard you mention a few videos ago, that the boys are neutered but that the girls aren’t spayed-not spaying them could be deadly as they could develop pyometra, an infection in their reproductive organs. This happened to me several years ago with one of my kitties. I didn’t even realize she was sick and when I did bring her to be spayed, the vet told me she had a huge cyst filled with pus in her uterus that was on the verge of bursting. Thank goodness all ended up okay. Really consider getting this done. If you’re already aware of this, I apologize. Just wanted to let you know. Here’s some information on the matter: vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/pyometra-in-cats

Haven’t noticed extra mice at all, but the barn and chicken house have rats. I need to deal with them cause they’re kind of large and I don’t think I want my crew fighting with big rats. But when I was free ranging the cats we never had rats.

Either she is really tiny, or Fozy is really BIG!!!! 😂😂😂 I’m curious to see the size difference between Maggie and Bubbles….maybe you could get a shot of the two of them next to each other… The Rhode Islands are a more aggressive bird… Light Sussex Chickens are mild mannered… RIs and the White Leghorns are little turds lol… I had both breeds on he farm and they were always the aggressive ones… we also had some Lavender Orpingtons and some Wyandottes… the lavenders were sooooo docile…. By far my favorite breed… and they lay such yummy eggs! Really dark, rich yolks… the RIs started out having the only rooster in the group and we had some interesting cross breeds… we got white leghorns with the green tail feathers of the Rhode Islands and the wyandottes crossed with the RI made red birds with the dottes…. It was definitely interesting… we did end up with a couple of cross bred roosters and they were pretty docile as well… thankfully they didn’t get Red's aggressive gene…. Chickens are such fun! Have thought about getting a couple of goats? They could be your little lawn mowers lol… For some of the areas where you don’t have water, have you ever considered drilling a hand pump? Not too sure how far down your water table is there but it might be something to look into? Have a blessed day by dear friend… give Olive a big hug and some scritches and scratches behind the ears for me! Cheers!

just stop using those animals if you actually care about them which is really odd considering it is a farm (a big oxymoron if you ask me) just turn your farm into an animal sanctuary if you actually love those majestic and gentle creatures it doesn't have to be what you were always taught to believe it needed to be trust me people are starting to wake and more and more people are actually starting to make the change because they realized the real value of these animals and it isn't in what they can offer us (IT'S NEVER IN WHAT THEY CAN OFFER US) AND IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE this industry is the actual definition of evil incarnate AND YOU KNOW IT

Yeah Maggie was really small as a kitten too and she was the shyest. We got her along either way Dexter, Chunk, Fozzy and Lovely (rip) and it took me like a year to be able to pet her. Bubbles is much like her Mama, but she’s much smaller still even with her fluffy coat. Goat are in the plans we’re just not ready yet, I need to add to the barn and do a bunch of fencing. Sheep are really good mowers too.
