I’m really glad that Slater returned, he’s one of my favorite of y’all’s birds. I’m not actually too surprised that he made it, turkeys are native to the forests of North America after all, he was probably just hanging out with some wild turkeys and decided that life on a farm was easier!
@@whitehouseonthehill I know this is old but one reason that bird survived and wild ones, with the lack of water and food is because fowl hold their feed in their crawl when bad weather is coming or is here. Pick up a rooster and feel its crawl often and you will notice what i'm talking about. If bad weather is coming animals know. The reason i know this is because i was around game cocks for a while and before a match they get the feed gradually cut back so they are empty and on point on the day when they compete. It is a very fine line, too empty too soon bad also. If bad weather comes and you don't adjust less feed you will have a sluggish rooster full of feed and get whooped.
Past Slater: I’m done with this farm nonsense. I’m gonna go be a wild turkey. I can take care of myself. Now Slater: NOPE nope nope it’s cold this sucks take me back
It is crazy to think that when I first started watching White House on the Hill's youtube videos, they only had 10k subscribers. Now they have over 600k! Jake, if you are seeing this, never stop, your videos are the best! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so happy that Slater returned home, and it was so much fun to see you all playing in the snow together. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey.
Happy ending, welcome back Slater you 'turkey of mystery' where have you been? I was so sad after you lost all those special chicken eggs, Slaters return has cheered me up and I bet it has made you happy too.
I love watching your videos we own our own big hatchery in Pennsylvania and hatch about 7 thousand chicks a day 5 days a week and it is nice to see u guys with so many birds!!! 🐓
Well they are broiler chickens and I think for the most part we do more commercial kind of stuff for big farms, but it is in Lancaster county and it is Longenecker’s Hatchery. But my uncle owns it and I don’t think he would sell them unless it was a bigger order or for another hatchery so probably not the best choice but I really wish I could help!
@@nonstopoutdoors5734 Thanks for the reply and best of luck to your family! I’m in Somerset cty near Pittsburgh- only lookin for 6 layers to add to my backyard coop 😉👍🏼
Ok thank u for understanding and wishing us luck I am only 14 so I only just started working there and don’t know everything about our hatchery but best of luck for u too hope u find what u need. God bless you
I'm sorry, but Uriah figuring out he can kick the snow to propel himself on his back on the sled and giggling in pure delight.... absolutely the best part of my day.
Wow, Slater is a survivor!! He just wanted to go on an adventure! I love seeing the boys sledding. I grew up in Utah and sledding in winter is one of my best memories. My 4 kids have never seen snow as I’ve lived in Florida for the last 18 years and they were born here! Our equivalent would be spending time at the beach 😄
I dknt know if you'll see this but I've been told to expect more of the negatives like that bot this year but once or twice every winter it really sucks
I absolutely love this channel! Reminds me of my childhood....many,many moons ago! I’m a farm girl through and through and miss the life,which wasn’t always that easy but so rewarding! Watching the children play and help to look after all the animals brings so many wonderful memories back so thank you! Hugs from the U.K.. X
Old Slater: leave me alone, I want to be free, I belong to the wild New Slater: I am sorry Mommy, I want to come back, I will do all my chores and homework on time. So relieved that Slater came back, it's amazing
Our puppy a few weeks ago, when she was 6.5 weeks old, followed her mama into the woods and got lost. I searched for 3 hours in the cold rain and couldn't find her. I thought for sure she got caught by a coyote or that she would have frozen overnight. But 30 hours later she found her way back home. She was unharmed and very hungry. I'm glad that we both had such great outcomes for our lost animals.
I thought of Bamboo when I was reading recently about the Great Emu War in Australia in the 30s. Where Emus were so overtaking Australia they had to call out the military to try to get them under control. They ever had big bounties for every Emu you could shoot and bring in.
That walk with Eli was just simply stunning. The huge snow-covered eerie shapes and the odd echoing sounds. I feel like I just had a mini-vacation from today's Seattle rain. (We had spit rain and high wind. It makes the rain painful.) So happy to see Wandering Slater. WTH. What was he doing? What motivates a turkey to take off for over a week and rough it in the wild. I wonder if his son had started fighting for dominance. Strange. Love yall. Have a great weekend.
Welcome back Slater you're a champion buddy....I enjoy every minute of your videos,especially seeing the boys having such fun time it brings so many memories when I was a young boy at my grandparents farm running in the woods playing with the animals i get choke up thinking about it,your boys will have memories forever how amazing it is to be a farm boy,I know I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, I hope someday when life gets back to normal you guys will have a meet and greet because I would love to meet you..
I absolutely love your channel! I’m glad Slater found his way home! What a wonderful, uplifting story to watch after a long day of work! Thank you. You are helping me keep my someday farming dream alive. I’d love to know how the mandarin ducks eggs are doing! And Joey’s training? How is she coming along with that? I have an Australian Shepherd myself, his name is Indy. They are wonderful dogs - so smart, eager and loyal and can also be opinionated and somewhat stubborn. I’ll keep looking back for updates. You are a wonderful family. God bless!
I'm glad to see that Slater came back. I live in Maine and have wild turkeys that come to eat under the bird feeder in my back yard. Today there were twenty wild turkeys out there! They can survive just fine in the cold weather.
I hope you find your turkey I remember when he was just a little egg so I'm praying you find them and it's so good to see that you're taking care of all the other animals y'all stay warm God bless you guys
I love a happy ending!!!!! I hope it starts getting a bit warmer for you guys very soon. I’m so happy that Slater was somehow able to survive by himself. That was amazing! Much love and respect from Australia.
Nice update, I had to tune out a few of your gruesome videos....but love this. Funny how they are going through a whole new dominece dance, but the turkey got a taste of the wild, bet he feels like a big man in the pen now!
Wooow that cow reproduces soo much milk it’s so awesome and you guys make my day I love your vids I thank god that you guys exists because the world would of not been the same without you guys.
My grandma told me all kinds of stories as a kid, they VERY MUCH fly! They roost high at night to protect from predators so. One particular funny story at the school playground in Eagle Butte South Dakota a turkey sitting on the swing set, pooped huge on my childtime grandma's self. ....she laughed about it in the stories, but NOT the day it happen.
They can fly a bit just like chickens and peacocks. But they've been breed so fat most domestic turkeys have way to much breast meat to get off the ground
Glad to hear more about Slater. It’s been so cold there for so long, spring thaw will be a revelation. What a new world opening up for your youngest son. And then the aviary! That generator was a wise investment that takes away the uncertainty about power availability. That’s one less thing to worry about, something you now can control. I’ll bet you’re glad it’s there every day when you go to do the milking.
You have so beautiful birds I can't believe they're surviving that kind of weather over here in texas been so cold no power for over 4 days here in Mesquite close to Dallas where my oldest son live and my 3 daughters who they live in Halton city and Keller tx been out of power too and me who iam live in fort worth tx but we still here thank God we're more lucky than other anyway have a blessing day and is also a blessing you have your Turkey back
