Many people commented on my video, expressing their yearning for life on the farm. We talked about the joys of life on the farm before, so this time we will talk about the troubles and inconveniences.
I came from a farm in Asia and I have known about difficulties in farming in Canada. 'Skillful hands' are good but many who did not receive safety training hurt themselves on machinery and farm tasks. So, farming is for some people, definitely not for the regular dreamers.
so sorry to hear about your dog and chickens. My pet rabbit also got killed, we also have skunks come at night stink up the whole neighborhood, even I live in a city
You are amazing. I have a 13 acres of hobby farm in Maryland (only 30 minutes from center of DC), but it has been largely laid unattended. I always have excuses for being busy at work, but it is all because of lack of will.
Dong Caicai, you can raise some geese to Gard and protect your chickens. A female donkey is also very protective of the animals. These two options are more useful than dogs.
predators on the farm can be very stressful but they do offer support in unusual ways as well. They keep rodent populations manageable and reduce those pests getting into your garden like voles, gophers and mice.
