Fellow Canadian spotted! Unfortunately I live in the city at the moment, but I grew up closer to the countryside and would often drive past nearby farms to visit family. Just wanted to say, I have really bad anxiety and live in a really unpredictable household these days… your videos have been helping me relax at night and just simply smile ❤😊 stay warm buddy, love this content

Good afternoon from England! Snow again? Allergies are from cat’s saliva, not the hair so shorthair cats are grooming themselves more than the longhair ones that’s why you feel the allergies more. Chickens are beautiful but the geese are scary 😂.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Wow saliva eh, I had a long haired cat named Spooky when I was a kid and I had no issue. Interesting about the saliva thing.

[@christineabedini3765]

Some people put a wooden egg in each of the laying boxes, and that signals to them that it’s OK to lay there

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes I’ve done that. But it’s two fold, that may work but there are also some hens that prefer to lay in an empty nest.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Well, looks like Punxsutawney Phil was wrong! The spring equinox was the 19th…. It’s obviously still winter! I think the spotted piglet is my favorite…. Looks like one I had as a kid…. Oh Chad, your kitties LOVE YOU…. They will never forget you!!! Wow! Olive hopped that fence like it was nothing! Is she part antelope? 😂😂😂 Omg… I'm dying over here…. You "got rid of" that aggressive gander eh? Yeah, you cooked him so the doggies are going to be eating well for a couple days…. I'll tell ya something that happened when I was a kid… we had a LOT of goose for Christmas one year… my grandpa had a few ducks and geese and unbeknownst to him, the geese laid a very large clutch of eggs, 9 of them! A normal clutch of eggs is 4-6… Well, when they hatched he was shocked at the number of baby geese he had! Well guess what? There was one… ONE, Female!!!! He had 8 males and one female…. No one wanted the males until Christmas time… he was able to sell one of the males but the rest of them ended up on a platter for Christmas dinner! I'm the opposite when it comes to kitties and allergies… I am severely allergic to Maine Coons and Rag Dolls… any short haired kitties I don't have a problem with… but the Maine coon has a very soft downy undercoat and I am severely allergic to it… never have understood why since usually it’s the saliva of the cat that people are allergic to… not me… my kitties lick me all the time and it has never bothered me… but my kitty, Sir Jasper, is a grey Maine Coon and it has taken me almost a year to get acclimated to him… I went through a ton of Benadryl getting used to him and now I’m down to just a half a tablet every other day… if you are having trouble with some allergies, you might give the Benadryl a shot… Love the video… and my apologies for the long post… I just figured I would put it all into post instead of a bunch of little ones….. you have a blessed day!!!!!❤😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

haha i use benadryl sometimes too. If i get scratched by a cat it breaks out into hives for a while but then after a few hours it's gone. Always trying to immune myself bit by bit.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@HiddenSpringFarm yep… it’s taken me this entire first year of Sir Jasper’s life and him living with us since he was 8 weeks old for me to be able to get by on a couple Benadryl tablets a week… last night he jumped up on my shoulders while I was in the bathroom and he slipped… well, when he did, he naturally "GRABBED" ON to me… my left shoulder looks like it’s been hit a dozen times with a meat tenderizer between the ridiculous amount of hives and the claw marks that are there… I actually had to get out the LIQUID Benadryl to get it into my system faster and had to rub Benadryl cream on the hives… the things we do to keep our kitties!!!!!! lol

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

haha sometimes I say things in a video not thinking it was funny at all but then watching it back, giving myself a little chuckle.

[@Limogi]

Chickens lay in the same nest so that once there are enough, a hen can brood and hatch them. They don't mind hatching other hens' eggs.

[@nickelcitycats]

Hey guys! I love seeing the cats. I don’t know where you guys are in Ontario, but in my city, there’s a HUGE stigma around outdoor cats or even working cats. My rescue is new and being the first in Sudbury that condones outdoor and working cats, it’s a tough hill to climb. There’s a lot of miseducation and you guys set an example that it’s okay. I hope to heck they’re spayed and neutered though. Haven’t watched all the videos so I might have missed when it was mentioned. Keep up the good work!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Well it’s the usual suspects…people who claim cats are the cause of extinction of billions of birds and other wildlife and destroy natural ecosystems. Of course cats have been around for millennia and we still have literal billions of birds. At least on our farm maybe 🤔 be of out cats occasionally get a bird but it’s really not that many. Other parts of the world though cats are left to fend for themselves and breed out of control. While I understand this there’s definitely people who go around on social media yelling at people with outdoor cats as if we’ll actually listen to them. Don’t pay them any mind, you know you’re doing right by those cats 😉

[@waddleinnhomestead]

My goose I got at 4 weeks old I spent tons of time with her. She is now almost a year and still my big suck ( in her time and terns though ) She isn’t aggressive at all but if I try to pet her when she doesn’t want it she just runs If she wants attention from me she will stand beside me talking If I’m sitting on the ground and ignore her she will start pulling things out of my pocket 😅 She is laying eggs and I can go in and pet her while she lays her egg Her gender I got at. Year old but he is just as chill. No aggressive behaviour My brother runs the embden geese and they have had to harvest them over aggressive behaviour The last two they raised from hatching. They spent tons of time with them But breeding season happened now and again these guys are very aggressive Biting while they try to feed and chasing them out of the area They are thinking of switching to my breed of geese

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes that's so true. The original 4 geese in the caboose I hatched them and bonded with them and all was fine until that first breeding season and it's like they forgot I was the Daddy. They're not too bad though but this one single gander was the worst and that's why he got "removed"

Hi love your video's, this is my 2nd year of keeping geese, and i was wandering how many eggs can a goose successfully 'sit' on please

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks. So far in 3 years our geese have not successfully hatched their own. What I do is leave some for them to try and take some for the incubator. I’ve hatched a bunch but the geese not so much, they can never seem to keep the eggs warm enough. Plus their nesting season starts when it’s still so cold out, may be easier for them in a warmer climate.

[@Look-to-NatureHomestead]

Been watching your videos since I found your Khaki Campbell video last week. After listening to your enthusiastic videos while working nightshift, I went and picked up 5 khakis for our lil homestead. Currently 11 days old wow they grow! Keep up the great content! One question: Do you grow anything specifically for your ducks and geese? I'm growing 100s of thing, just want to make sure my ducks are in a row... 😉

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww that’s great, best of luck. When it’s not winter we free range the ducks & geese in the orchard where they have unlimited grass and bugs. They’ll also eat some fruits and veggies too. We usually grow some peas as they love peas.

[@colly1952]

Chad, don't you and your wife eat duck meat? I think it's pretty expensive to buy, but then some people don't like duck. I've only had it once and I can't remember what it tastes like, it was too long ago. Such a nice Spring we're having, aren't we? It's the same here, in Rouyn-Noranda, Qc

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Really eh I didn’t know that 😁

[@emilieseitl9662]

Duck meat is healthy actually better than beef and pork

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

We eat duck, but like chicken much better. My Darlin makes duck adobo which is a Filipino dish. Duck is the kind of meat I’d eat every 3 months whereas chicken I eat a few times a week. Dogs love the duck though and it’s super healthy for them. Interestingly enough though the cats like chicken but they won’t eat duck.
