You guys ever considered getting any peacock 🦚

Link for the waterers?

[@DonnaMM6361]

That's nice about your new birdies. But, isn't Lacey due to have that baby soon? I have only been watching your videos for about a week, but as a grandma aged woman, I am mostly interested in how the human babies are doing. I watched the video in which Lacey (spelling?) was talking about her food allergies and inflammation last night. My daughter has been having troubles recently, and her new doctor brought up food allergies. Thanks for your sweet openness. You are a charming and loving woman.

Hey! I was wondering what y'all's thoughts are on installing solar panels on/near a Yurt residence. I'm Currently saving up for my own homestead and want to be energy-independent.

[@Joannepaq1025]

What a absolute sweet daughter you have!! Give the Lord God all the praise and honor for your sweet daughters tender heart! ♥️

[@Junkinsally]

I suggest everyone have a couple of hybrid hens because they don’t stop completely laying in the wintertime!

[@claudiabottom4086]

Those goslings are so cute, they sure love your daughter.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Love your family homesteading channel. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferward5216]

Saleh is so pretty and getting grown. That's the reason you need another daughter to even the family for the older ones to enjoy.

[@jasminaalm]

Guineas are my favorite after chickens. You will not have problems with ticks since guineas love them ! They kept my farm dogs and me safe.

[@peaceofmyhearthomestead4611]

i’m a mail carrier and always hear the babies the minute I walk in, and of course I have to check on them❤️

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Hopefully they aren't too annoying for you. They can get loud

[@peaceofmyhearthomestead4611]

@@MikeTheFitFarmer nooo, i love the sound, i find it soothing. It annoys everyone else tho😂 I keep electrolytes and non medicated non gmo chick feed at work because we do have cases of people missing a Saturday pick up and the chicks are there all weekend.

[@StoneKathryn]

@@peaceofmyhearthomestead4611 That is so sweet of you! You're a great postal poultry mom! Your customers that order poultry are very lucky to have you!

[@inannashu689]

I was kind of ticked off when one of the workers at my post office opened my box and held my chicks and didn't have a problem telling me about it. I paid for them and want them as disease and germ free as possible. Coincidently six of them died and I never had that happen prior with any other chick that I ordered.Of course I have no proof that it was because of that.

[@StoneKathryn]

@@inannashu689 I'm sorry to hear that they died. I'd be okay with a postal worker holding my chicks. They are very cute when they are a day old. One Easter a basket was on our steps with chicks in it. We were very young and we didn't know how to take care of the chicks and they didn't survive the night. It was sad. I never knew who left them for us.

[@PatrickPoet]

One thing Mike didn't mention about Murray McMurray is that once you follow the link that Mike shared here, right at the top of their web page you can click to get a free full color catalog sent to you. It's full of information and you can learn about all the breeds. I think it's fun.

[@holliwaller2774]

We got goslings for the first time this past spring. My oldest daughter sat with them all the time and they decided she was their mom. They still follow her around when she's in the backyard. Super sweet

[@donna1018]

Lol mike talking with his hands while holding baby birds! Careful might give them whiplash! 😂

[@carlapierle8623]

Oh my goodness, those goslings are ADORABLE!!!

[@SuesSecretGarden3]

They are gorgeous. Look at Micah how fast he's growing your children are so caring. I want them 😆

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Yeah, seems like yesterday that they were babies.

[@Wildevis]

The goslings are adorable and so cute how they follow Selah around

[@ahtemmathehun3506]

Bourbon Reds are wonderful turkeys. Very sweet, smart and excellent foragers. I had a flock of 40. They're better at mothering than other turkey breeds. Oh and the meat is divine! Better than any other meat we raised!

[@freeomelettefarm]

The first time we had chickens, I was astonished at how fast they grew. I was sure that nothing could beat them for growth rate. Then we got ducklings and they outpaced the chickens and I thought surely that was the fastest anything grew... until we got our first gosling. NOTHING grows like a gosling. Its insane!

[@mimib6955]

How cute!! The goslings sounded like they were saying "me, me" When they were in the box.

[@janetbecker4282]

I know you have limited space in your yurt. However I'm hoping you will share what things you want and need for the new baby. It would be awesome to do a baby quilt collaboration where we viewers could send a certain size quilt block that you or someone you know could put together the quilt for us to send and wrap with Love that Lil baby that was prayed in by Big Sister. Many Blessings as we enjoy the last bit of summer.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless you and your family

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Thank you, Brenda. Glad you're along for the ride!

[@cindy77277]

Mike, I just want you to know how much I enjoy your videos. I love seeing your wonderful family and I love here how things are doing on the homestead. God bless you and your wonderful family. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Thank you for the kind words, Cynthia!

[@AZJH8374]

I can't have a goose dinner for Christmas anymore. They are $130 + each. BTW Ugh. So turkey it is! Love your channel ❤️

[@mathewcresap5889]

Awesome video as always! I must say burbon red Turkey is one of my favorite breeds, unfortunately we weren't able to find any this year . We did find adult turkeys 2 Jenny's that are mix burbon red and a Jake that is broad breast bronze. We also got African goose eggs from a friend and hatched 2 . Thy are awesome geese loaded with personality and very talkative to us as well as, very alert and great guard. Thy are also very empathetic and caring to thyre flock .

[@susanturner9023]

I love what you guys share 🙏🏼✌🏻❤️🐓🦃🐣

[@geraldineyoung9401]

I'm so sorry for the offer for a handmade baby quilt. I had suggested. I understand completely! I just know a mom goes through a lot of baby quilts! Just a grandmother that wanted to help! Hope all goes well!

[@mildredpeterson8876]

If your birds get pasty-butt, you can feed them fresh grass helps prevent it.

[@anitadodson4316]

Oh my goodness!!! Those goslings are super cute❤️

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Thanks. I had no idea they would be this cute.

[@debbieschmidt2264]

Great video funny story! Lacy you look great being a pregnant Lady. You and you're family are precious! God bless you! Keep going sharing your thoughts.

Selah’s positive attitude is soooo enjoyable. She’s a real good influence for your uplifting message.

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Thanks, we think she's pretty wonderful, too.

[@taytay88]

For pasty butt, the only thing that helped us get it off when stuck was olive oil. These new babies are so cute!

[@lvlndco]

I've found with the watering cups they will knock the cups and they easily come unhinged...then it leaks all the water out.

[@duanemcclinton9638]

the chicks look great Mike We notice Lacie s chicks are looking great too ,I hope the heat don't mess with them any way GOOD GOING YA How's the little one doing so far Stay Healthy LACIE don't over doing it picking up heavy things

[@StoneKathryn]

Those goslings are huge! They are cute and they follow Selah! Love those Lil Cluckers watering cups. Thanks for showing them. My ducks couldn't figure out the cups that had the water lever in the bottom of the cup so the water would always go dry for them. These look like ducks can figure them out! They are on sale right now. Nice that you are helping preserve two breeds of birds Mike. Thanks for this video Dickson family.

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Daddy & I reminisce About our individual farm life. I loved my geese, dad HATED geese. My geese were so sweet to me, dad says his always pinched him & hat attitudes. Mine only had attitude for others... they would lay heads on my leg!

That brings back so many wonderful memories when I was growing up and raising my pet ducks. ❤️ Your children will always have fond memories of these times.

[@ischafer8073]

👋 everyone! Wow. So many new breeds for me to learn about. Glad they all seem to be thriving. Be well. 🙏🙏

[@duanemcclinton9638]

got a ideal for the both of us even the family too set up a stand at the North Carolina State fair , you could do a share talk meeting an bring a goat to show others how to milk a goat ,,just think maybe could other farmers would join you on this ,, it's something to think about or teach people how to clip the feathers on a chicken so they won't fly so many out there with thousands of questions ,, Just wanted you know how much we enjoy watching take care

[@taylorslone9589]

We got 4 African geese last year and we have hatched 6 Goslings

[@cindycurtis5849]

Great selection of birds. I've tried the cups and they do work but if to low the birds get them dirty quick. But you can tip the bucket and it helps to keep it clean.

Thanks for sharing and for the kind words.

[@TobyCatVA]

You know I love y'all, but I noticed in the past Mike and Selah could come across as overwrought, fifties kids TV show hosts of the "Hello, boys and girls!" style and now y'all are so much more relaxed, casual, comfortable with being on camera style that is so much more pleasing to watch. No, the show was not bad back then, however it was not as authentic as it is now. Now you make it feel like I am a friend that just dropped by the Yurt to see what the neighbor farmers are up to today. You are getting better and more endearing all the time. Lacie was always perfect BTW.

[@DonnaRatliff1]

I got 20 Bielefelders back in spring for duel purpose. They are so different other chickens and pretty darned quiet. The roosters are supposed to be nicer than other breeds and another reason why I chose those. Also got some Rhode Island reds and Black Australorps. I think your Goslings are Adorable. I'd love to have a few as pets. They do imprint on you and bond well. Plus protect the other birds.

[@duanemcclinton9638]

hey Mike on one show you had a fly catcher,, we were wondering how do you remove the flys do you spray them ,,how do you get them out they must sell pretty fast at Tractor supply. we love there between there an Lowe's 😆 maybe one day you can make a video of the fly catcher remover 😆 Have a great week end ya

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

They die quick (within 2 days or so) and then trap can open up and you can dump, burn or do whatever you want with the dead flies.
