A Lot Can Happen in a Week - FARM VLOG

[@Scot_WestTexas]

I absolutely love the duck parade 👍😎🥰 and the way the geese protect them. But Olive and Fozzy are my favorites 💕

[@yuliyak4117]

Hi Chad - I bet you are about to get busy!!!! Thank you for another video - it is very refreshing! Please don't take this as a criticizm, but Fozzy Bear needs to go on a diet... older cats can develop diabetes if they are overweight. He is wonderful and loving, and I know you care about him a lot - you really don't need that headache. Again, sorry for saying this - I love how you care about your animals - you are such a beautiful soul!

Bobby Benny and the piglets crack me up to 🤣🤣🤣

[@sherylbartlett3871]

HEY CHAD - Mango has a collar on! Amazing! WOW.......look at that huge haul of eggs - the chickens have been working over-time! Thanks for the updates and God bless.....😊❤😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@sherylbartlett3871 yes Mango had a collar on since a young age but a few months ago I changed all the batteries in the air tag trackers and haven’t been able to put it back on. He won’t let me, if I grab him he goes berserk.

Hi, Chad! You're always thanking US for watching, but I would like to thank YOU for including US on your wonderful videos. You're such a breath of fresh air, especially for ME, as an 80 y.o. housebound Lady! I love your tours with all of your super great animals and updates on the homestead. So, thanks again to you and Your Darlin' for everything! Kathy from IL.

[@leecarlson9713]

Hi, Kathy! This channel does let us live vicariously through, doesn’t it? I am a city girl, but love to watch the homesteading and farming sites. I will be 80 in July, and right now I am more or less chair bound, because I stupidly thought I could do some yard work, and overdid. My back is protesting very loudly! I am in the south most city in Texas, Brownsville. Hope you have as good a day as is possible at our age.😁

[@claudiarusso6702]

Love your update Chad!👏👏👏👏👏 Everyone looks very happy, those piglets are adorable when they run away from you, total cuteness and the chickens are truly happy, laying out eggs galore! Love the haircuts on Molly and Olive, they are definitely ready for warmer weather 😂😹and the claw crew are always ready for the hunt and fozzy bear is probably having one of his "I want to be close to my human dad today" so sweet. Your animals obviously feel your love and care and they're thriving because of it. Great vlog Chad! Looking forward to more!👍👏👏👏👏Have a nice day at the farm to you and your darling and all the gang!😻😹👍👏👏😂👏😺😸😮

Everything is looking good. Spring is in the air. Road island Reds are amazing layers. I have 23 of them in my flock of 50 layers and we are getting about 42 eggs a day now that the days are longer. 2 Rosters 1- is a sliver. Lace Wyandotte and the other is a little bantam with feather feet. God bless you and your wife and furry family. 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️🇺🇸

[@doinacampean9132]

And when you say the ducks pool is full of nastiness, you mean it's full of precious nutrients, right? :)

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes and no. When it was in regular use…yes. But it get clogged when the ducks bring straw from inside the house and mud from the ground. The water would have to be left for a few days to accumulate lots of poop but it’s needs to be changed very often so it’s a catch 22.

[@helen1962]

Thanks Chad, looks like everyone is doing great!

[@leecarlson9713]

You got to pet Bubbles! A lot! I think it is Hidden Heights Farm that uses duck eggs when they do any baking. Evidently, the richer duck eggs make a better product. Great to see the snow is gone, and all the critters loved being able to be outside.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Oh yes it’s a fact that duck eggs make everything baked better. Bubbles has her good days when she’s less shy, but she’s still keeps her distance.

[@HELENGodLoves]

​@@HiddenSpringFarm 🤔 Bubbles thinks she's a house pet and not a farm cat critter killer 😂😂😂

[@LindaKieliszewski-jd5qu]

Saw this ....on KZbin, can sprout rice as chicken feed, get large 30 or 40 lb bag cheaper than regular feed most likely. Just soak in water to sprout. To supplement regular feed u give. Hope it's a good idea for you.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Interesting, never would have thought the rice would grow. Cool idea.

@@MrSpinnerbug I think it depends on the rooster. If I allow Big Red, MJ and Elvis out in the yard they fight…but I’ve also had them separator a few years now might be different if they grew up and live together.

[@jillmarie4155]

Carolina Coops (on KZbin) have a video where they made a duck house and they said ducks only need to wet their heads.... you should check out the head washing station they made..... maybe it'll help you.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I’ve seen that but they never show their coops in a real “in use” situation or after a few years of use. Very well built coop and while it is true ducks don’t need to swim it sure makes for better videos having them out in the orchard. I’ll most likely build a small pond for them. That duck watering station they built won’t work in a cold climate either. I wonder how expensive their coops are, I bet it’s over 10k.

[@Rasputin-p4e]

Yeah, nailed it. Duck pond.

[@StephanieMcCamon]

What did you do with the goose eggs? Are you allowing them to hatch? That's a lot of geese. LOL

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

2 years now the geese have yet to successfully hatch on their own, maybe this year. They’ll keep laying eggs too still be going in there to get the fresh ones to sell as fertile eggs.

[@lararabb8888]

That barred rock rooster is amazing! But better to choose for temperament than size. But it would be ashame to eat him.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah I’d probably sell one of them. So far I’ve observed this barred rock breed to be skittish but I’ll try to get a sense of their demeanour before making a decision.

[@Annette-d9u]

You shouldn’t feed the dogs the raw eggs by the chickens coop. Because I read that if the chickens get even a tiny bit of taste of raw eggs, on ground, or in shells then they will peck at their own eggs. If you want to give them more protein during the cold or snow time. According to veterinarians, you can give them hard boiled eggs, make sure the yolk is completely hard, or scrambled eggs with water, no seasonings of course and no milk in scrambled eggs, because they can’t tolerate dairy. I see they love the warmer weather by all the eggs you got, I’m glad.

[@nancygerald5913]

❤❤❤

[@bbiberry]

I don't know anything about farming but I have a question, don't the places where the ducks and geese are have to be cleaned? with a shovel and replace the thing that's on the ground? it's something I see in movies so I'm curious 😅

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes during winter we follow the deep bedding method but in the spring they’ll all get cleaned out.

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

I wouldn't remove the duck pool, clean it out yes but maybe keep it and put 2 smaller tubs inside to help keep the water contained. A screen on the drain with a rope attached could also help, or make a larger drain with a screen.

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

Most breeders like to have friendly roosters, Most people don't want aggressive roosters. *Breeding traits*. a rooster can do some sever damage to kids.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I have a screen drain with a string but when I pull it all the straw and other junk just clog it. It’s a small koi pond so it’s not flat inside there’s like a ledge. I’ll see what I can come up with.

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

@@HiddenSpringFarm I'm sure you'll come up with a great solution ;)

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@HiddenSpringFarmyou may have to shop vac all that water out and then Shovel all the mud and the muck…. I ageee with the other poster, make the drain hole much bigger with a larger screen…l maybe put a two tiered drainage system in with two different screens? That might work ….

No. It’s a long story and I have videos on it but Bubbles cannot be trusted to come back at the end of the day. She’s so very skittish and mostly keeps her distance from me. I’m always working on her though.

[@kaitlyn888]

@@HiddenSpringFarm I kinda figured it had something to do with that! I rescue for stray cats and new ones coming in would take off and potentially get hurt so we keep them in until they are rehabilitated and then find them forever homes! I’m glad you keep her in.
