Getting Our New Coop Ready for Chickens!

[@diyfferent]

Coop in the winter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn28eJtnhbiipdk

[@Bunefoo401]

Belle is such a darling ... so much curiosity about life around her. So many parents around here do everything for their kids. Refreshing to see you encourage her to think for herself (untangling the roots) and figure things out. That’s how they learn and RETAIN what they’ve learned. Can’t wait to see the new chicks and the progress on Belle’s room ... Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️

[@christinabrodrick6406]

I love how close your family is and the lessons the children learn... may God always bless all of you ❤️

[@Breseinamaris]

Your daughter is a well mannered little lady. Nicely done parents and congratulations farmers.

[@lyndastrait]

I love watching the children help. Lil' Maverick helping his Dad with a load. Beautiful Belle planting with hope. I did that last year & it worked for me, Belle. My Daughter actually thanked me for her work ethic when she got all grown up.

[@thomasheneghan6100]

Great to see Belle's faith in nature. She get's it. You both should be proud.

[@kimpulsipher647]

I always separate plants with water in a bucket. Just put the clump in the bucket with the water and they just fall apart with a few tugs and no roots lost.

[@bellavita2484]

Yay, so excited to see the chestnut trees grow! It looks like Tundra likes her toy, so cute! 😄👍

[@PatricesProjects]

Well if you aren't farmers already, at least you are decent renovators. Tundra was so cute with her ball. And Maverick helping to push the hand truck with his flowers in one hand was so sweet. Belle is like watching a mini Ashley, and that's a good thing.

[@JamesCouch777]

For our chicks I glue the bottom of the waterer to a chunk of 2x6 to keep them from getting so much bedding into the waterer and it adds stability also.

[@diyfferent]

Great idea :D

[@dodge7679]

I've an electric hen plate which can cover 55 chicks but prefer a broody hen...your right chicks grow so quick...your place looks so good guys🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👏👏👏

[@jodyhuntsman4126]

Maverick helping dad! Adorable!

[@debbiecrum7585]

Well I smiled brightly watching Tundra play with her Jolly Ball. Reminded me of the fun my horse had with a soccer ball. They are characters at times. Glad the coop is ready to rock some chicks. That will be fun to watch them grow. Belle, your a sweetie for sure. I love your determination on growing your chestnut trees. I bet you get all 5 pots growing in no time. You have your momma's touch. What stole my heart the most today was Maverick with his flowers. That was adorable.

[@debbiealtman4572]

What a sweet little lady. So Caring and loving.

[@bonnie8441]

Belle's the greatest.She's so intelligent beyond her years.

[@janemigh3214]

I like Belle. She's cute kid and seems like a sweetheart. I hope her trees do well.

[@Idolmakercat]

I hope Belle’s trees do well for her. She is a sweet little girl.

[@sarahewitt1226]

I would live in that coop lol , your animals are always lucky to live with you , you do your upmost best to give them a good life , that's what started me watching your videos , to see you two making a home for stray cats that were on your property , that's what made me fall in love with your little family , such kindness , I absolutely love cats , I have a siamese called Bliss and I adore her , so seeing fellow cat lovers had me sold lol ! Tundra appreciates every thing you give her , so cute she got excited about her new toy , they are both looking in fantastic condition , I feel they haven't had such care , your videos are a complete joy !!!

[@bforgiveness]

I'm with you Sara, I couldn't have said it better! The fact that they drove over 800 miles to re-home Grumpy was the clincher for me! They were right and found the perfect forever home for him! What they did for Jeff at Bobblehead Homestead melted my heart. They are good people for sure! Love your cat's name! Greetings from Colorado, Valerie

[@sarahewitt1226]

@@bforgiveness yes , I think they are outstandingly good people , you see the care in all they do , they found the right home for grumpy , Jeoff adores his cats and grumpy is so content , I honestly feel if more people were like this lovley young couple this world would be a better place . They seem so happy where they are now in life a thoroughly deserve it , and you can see it not just for the camera , it come through their adorable children , what good they do .and greetings to you too from UK 😊

[@glenokla4079]

Belle & Maverick are so sweet & kind. Maverick is becoming quite the little helper. Belle is just amazing. Tundra loves her new ball.

[@susanpratt4061]

Awhhhh. Little helper. And isn' Belle sweet! She favors her mom alot! "There's hope in them." Love that!🙂

[@tammywalton3819]

Applause for Tundra! Lol! Got my chuckle for the day. Your Son with the daisies.....Priceless! :-)

[@jeanineadele]

This was such a nice video. Very cute to see the baby helping Papa.

[@cjhernandez9758]

Love how Maverick likes flowers. You guys should plant some flowers for him. Tundra is so sweet.

[@crossborn6375]

There's still hope in them. Wisdom from a child. Thank you Belle.

[@debiwhite6055]

I love your thoughtfulness! You are so intentional and practical about everything. A quality I lack, but so appreciate. Thank you for sharing your coop plans, gardening, family and life!

[@virginiareid5336]

Hope all is well with the chicks. I think Tundra likes her ball. Fingers crossed on Belle's trees.

[@katiecross8127]

Bell and Maverick are blessed to have such patient, hardworking, and talented parents.

[@AfterTheRains]

Good luck with your project Belle. Won’t be long until Maverick is helping - he concentrates so much in whatever he is into.

[@glorialeach7301]

This was a fabulous video!!!!!!!! Belle, you are awesome, loved how careful you were with the roots. 👍 And then little Maverick and his precious flower picking AND then the new toy!!!! It was such a fun video. Can’t wait to see more. 👏👏👏👏👏👍👌😍

[@Kitty-wb1kf]

Belle and Maverick are adorable and Miss Belle is very well spoken. Great job mom and dad.

[@liftoffthecouch]

Tundra knew exactly what that ball was for. LOL! She's such a funny mare. Loves the attention and the camera. I think she's super happy with you guys. Really fun video today. Thanks for sharing!

[@Kim-n-Brian]

Everything looks awesome for the chicks.... and I bet Tundra would love one of those body balls that she can actually put her body on ...she would be hilarious to watch.

[@mdog0657]

It's so refreshing watching your kids. Maverick presenting his little bouquet and helping Doug with the hand truck. And Belle so interested in planting trees instead of being planted on a cell phone. Tundra wiggling on her back and grunting is a hoot, my dog does the same thing. Good luck with the chestnut trees and the new chicks. We'll be watching.

[@clarabooth5582]

So sweet video! I love that Mav brought flowers for Mom and "helps" Dad with the work! Lol Bell is such a sweet girl . I hope the trees grow so she can tell her grandchildren she planted them!!! Lol lol (MANY) years from now!! Lol

[@joannbirdsong583]

It’s so refreshing to watch Belle be so interested in planting and growing and being outdoors. You’re doing such a great job of parenting your children. Enjoyed the rest of the video too.

[@DonnaDeMasi]

Belle is adorable. Hope all your chestnut trees survive Belle. Maverick is getting to be a big strong boy like his Daddy so cute.

[@nannypat6520]

LOL applause for Tundra 😂. I love how patient you both are. Letting Bell achieve her task on her own. Good work Bell, Great helping Maverick! 💕💕

[@ThisWomansBrain]

I loved when Belle said "there's still hope in them". ❤️

[@erika_is_growing]

Belle's love of nature is so awesome! Her homeschooling is likely a contributing factor...kids in public schools lack the experiences you are providing Belle. Just awesome!

[@SuperMarbelle]

Horse chestnuts ! That's great. I always wanted to plant some myself. I hope they grow well.

[@heavenscenthomestead4242]

I love it when little boys bring their Mamas flowers.

[@Michelle.05]

Belle is something else! I just love when the family is involved in the videos. I’m so excited for y’all getting your chicks. I love watching our chickens, it’s very relaxing.

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

What a great life you depict here! Seeing the mules included in the conversations, your son catching up to dad and pushing from behind, your daughter so patiently and carefully extricating tangled roots, you and your wife preparing for the chicks and checking out the progress of the seed beds, picking up a load of straw, ... it is very physical, but peaceful and healthy and wholesome. All the best!

[@kathyfloydflashy1]

Tundra was so obedient. She loves her environment ❤️

[@carlahubbard7561]

Your whole family is just precious! Belle, with her planting and Maverick helping his daddy! love it!

[@donnawright7906]

Enjoyed this sooo much! Favorite part was seeing Doug smile /laugh when Ashley schooled him on how to make Tundra move out of the way😂 Those kids are so lucky to have you as parents! God Bless😇💗

[@tinatipps5042]

Belle is so sweet. She is a mini Ashley!! ❤️ great teaching your little ones!! Just love your channel! Tundra is so cute with her toy

[@cliffandrews]

"There's still hope in them" Yes there is !

[@est6464]

Cliff Andrews that was such a sweet thought from Belle!

[@Zombie-adventures]

Beautifully done! Your kids are amazing and you are very kind and encouraging parents, kudos to both of you. I have my fingers crossed for the new trees to grow! Looking forward to seeing your new chicks soon! Darla

[@magicgemmaster566]

Pretty little girl looks so cute in nice new clothes!! She's intelligent and well spoken. Interesting and interested...great combo. Speaking of intelligent, that mule understood every word you said! Lol you can really tell Tundra loves you. She (Or he) is really thriving under your care.

[@jacquicoder7160]

Surely hope that Belle gets some beautiful trees from her efforts! Little Maverick is such a cutie, he wants to be involved in everything. Look forward to seeing those cute little chicks coming your way.

[@gregf438]

Cool update guys. Loved seeing Belle and Mav doing their thing. 👍

[@carolyoung3793]

Love the horse toy and the coop is pretty enough to live in xx

[@paulaboynton8299]

About 10 years ago, my husband found a sprouted acorn in our yard. We planted it and put a border around it so we wouldn't step on it. Now it is about 15 feet tall. Cracks us up.

[@lechatbotte.]

Paula Boynton I did that with a maple.

[@paulaboynton8299]

Showing my lack of knowledge.....how DO you start a maple?? A leaf? A nut? A seed? A cutting? A sprout? A magic wand? Hmmmm.....

[@lechatbotte.]

Paula Boynton my other trees dropped tons of seeds. Maples have those winged seed pods. Went out and found a sprout near the base of one, so I transplanted it where I wanted it. They seem to grow from the seed quite easily as I would find sprouts all over in my yard.

[@papernlace123]

More great things happening on the homestead for you all! So many new beginnings! Thank you for sharing your sweet family’s journey with us! Looking forward to the chick update too. Have a wonderful weekend! ♥️

[@jkbeattyable]

Good luck with your chestnut trees Belle! Hope your chicks arrive safe and sound. Another lovely video. Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pattycarosi9618]

Everything looks great the chick's are so lucky to have a nice home. Maverick running with the flowers is so so cute he sure is a big helper already. Adorable!! How old are the children I don't remember. Maverick looks about the same age as my granddaughter she's 3 yrs old. Belle is learning so much about planting things already that is great. Hope they grow for her. She sure is a sweet girl Very intelligent also. She speaks very well that's from good teaching Ashley and Doug. So enjoy your channel. I do not have a pay pal account at this moment so my son is going to help me so I can send Belle a gift to help with her room. I do hope you get her something famingo I did see alot of stuff at Wal Mart.com I am sure you know what is best for her. You are a such a amazing couple (family).

[@cherylemaybury2540]

How exciting to be getting some chickens. You guys are making great progress on your farm. Vegetables are growing and now chickens for fresh eggs, you’ll be feeding yourselves in know time.

[@rakamas]

I'm excited to see the chicks!!👍❤️😄

[@debbiealtman4572]

Awesome that the chicks are coming. The garden we’ll be great once you get food from it if you do. Good luck with the garden and chicks.

[@kat369-mine]

Maverick has become a little boy instead of a toddler. Pushing the bags to help Dad. Belle is so grown-up. Tundra's personality is coming through, and she is smart. Hope the chestnuts grow, that would be awesome.

[@lindabeard7035]

Good thing you've got Maverick to help you otherwise nothing would get done...lol. Your fans love watching your sweet family and the adventures you take us on. Us cityfolks are actually learning so much about life from you. You never cease to amaze me with all that you know and do. Thank you Doug and Ashley for allowing us into your lives.

[@KT2585]

What sweet children you have ❤️

[@christinabrodrick6406]

Love tundras ball😊 I raised an abandoned calf and we would play ball I had him for eight years before he passed.. I’ll never forget scooter ❤️

[@hannahsbackyard5960]

what a nice mule you have. She is so personable. My horse loves his jolly ball!

[@acornhomestead3575]

I love Belle's caring carefulness. She's an awesome youngperson! Maverick's adorable helping with flowers clutched in his hand. I can't wait to see Belle's room. Love your videos! Lucky Tundra, glad she likes the ball, Tyson my horse has a treat ball. Maybe Boregard would like a treat ball lol

[@reneep9968]

OMGOODNESS! That Tundra is one great looking mule!! And Maverick! helping dad push the saw dust! Too cute! Fantastic idea to put the lg drip pan under the waterer! My goodness, Belle is so smart and has such a precious sweet spirit. Beautiful family! Blessings...

[@kimberleytramper8966]

Hope all goes well with your chestnut tree plantings Belle. It was so cute watching Maverick try to keep up walking while helping Doug. His little legs were giving it all he got. The baby chicks are coming!! Yay!

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

As always, thank you for sharing your life adventures with us! I loved watching Belle as she gently coaxed the roots apart to salvage the healthy plants so she could plant and grow them. Maverick is so adorable with bringing flowers and helping! Excited as always to see how your homestead is coming along! May God richly bless yous!

[@AmyandIrving]

I think Belle is quickly emerging as my "favorite" in the family. I get a tickle at just how much she is a miniature of her mother, mannerisms and facial expressions... Do the two of you continue any subjects through summer, or do you break away from the school books for a bit? Belle, what is your favorite subject? I teach math! I love your chicks and can't wait to see your new bedroom! We've been watching, Amy 👩🏻 & Irving 🐢

[@darthdrk]

You can sprinkle some DE (Diotamaceous Earth) in your horse barn where the mule like to roll around and this will help with bugs and the flies. It does wonders with livestock and Chickens .

[@elizabethbrooks4849]

Maverick was cute helping daddy, Belle's chestnuts is a cool idea, I remember collecting them as a kid. I can't wait for the chicks. Tundra us not camera shy, Beau is. Stay safe an be happy

[@barbaraquiltinggardening5261]

Exciting times for OITC! So happy for y'all to finally be getting the chickens. Belle I sure am hoping your plants make it. Maverick is growing so fast. Waiting for Belle's room to be revealed. Blessings

[@karenyounger2314]

Love the 'horse' ball! Bell, your trees are going to grow strong and beautiful...what a wonderful way to make your mark on that land. I really love how you work together as a family.

[@debramackinnon8094]

Tundra is excited to have a toy! Chicken coop is so cool. How exciting!! Belle I believe your trees will do well.

[@beverlyvo728]

Belle and Maverick are sweeties. I enjoy hearing Belle share...she is quite mature. I can tell she thinks things through. Hope your chicks arrive healthy.

[@Wylielea]

You guys have made a beautiful life for yourselves and your kids !

[@yolandadavila4110]

I love ❤️ how calm your daughter is. Just like her Mom. God bless her.

[@deannamarie4149]

It is always great to hear from you. I giggled also when Doug asked Tundra to move and not kick him... 🙌👋 Belle should do a nature walk for us. She always manages to find awesome things...

[@anguskisses112]

Beautiful children! Everything is coming along so great, thanks to all of your hard work! Love, love Tundra too! She exudes happiness!

[@lindapeterson7166]

Good Morning 😊,great video!! I hope Belle has great success with her trees.Maverick is such a great little guy.Take care Doug & Ashley & Bless your family.

[@debbie2663]

I am loving how y’all are growing. And the children are so beautiful and smart!🙏❤️🙏

[@redrickgrass]

Great video update folks. I'm back watching your videos after Triple Bypass Surgery. I also watched your videos in the hospital. Thanks for keeping me company!

[@Hollybank5]

The chicken coop is great ! The grey floor/porch paint was a good addition !! Belle is soooo pretty and careful in all she attempts ! Maverick and his fistful of flowers 💐 was so cute !! Please tell me again- how old are the children now ? Both - little ‘ mini - me’s’ 😁👍 Can’t wait to see the new baby chicks - I hope they survive the mail 😮. Tundra evidently loves her new toy ... will Beau play too ? We need more Beau time 🙏🙏🙏 Enjoying all your sharing - thank you !!!

[@coopermom71]

Yay, chicks are coming!!! Love your videos.

[@marilynweist6307]

Awesome family video. Love how you are teaching your kids about various things from playing the little instrument, things of nature, tending to the animals. Belle seems so intelligent and advanced for her age. Maverick is really growing up and I love seeing him watching and observing you all. He is so cute. Keep up your great job! 😊😊

[@wilmagregory8967]

Wonderful video, I love them where everyone is so happy and grateful for getting what they wanted. Hope the trees all grow and the property will have q small grove of nuts. Lol take care, much love and respect. Much peace and blessings abound.

[@gigistar5542]

Good luck on your trees, Belle😄

[@alisonj9854]

Good to see Belle planting her bulbs. & Maverick helping you with the flooring for the chicks. You are all really busy. Hope you chicks arrive safe & sound. Xxx

[@jeanettec6212]

I always love your videos! The flowers he picked was so cute! Did you put them in water for him? There’s hope for them!!! She is really taking after you both! I loved seeing Tundra playing, seems like she loves her new toy! Beau looked at her like what now are you doing! Before you know it you will have a lot of garden growing! Do you get much rain there? Thanks again for the new update!

[@addieanderson2043]

Linoleum is a great floor covering. It will protect your wood floor and will clean up easily.

[@lololotto752]

Belle will have fun taking care of her plants. Tundra really likes her new toy! Chicks soon yay! 😊🌱🐤

[@Sonshine1038]

That is the nicest coop I have ever seen.

[@Dontwantahandle0]

Love to see the difference in your lives here in your forever home, you are clearly setting down roots now.

[@fava7753]

Good job guys , preparing for chicks hope they are all ok when you get them . Belle starting to grow trees hope she has some good results . Keep up the excellent work . Your all doing just fine , even maverick helping out too now , good job little fella . .

[@netdog713]

there is a big hickory tree behind my house and I found a hickory seedling in my compost pile the other day, so I pulled it up and planted it in a pot :)

[@BiterAvid]

Fun video. Tundra has gotten even more beautiful with time. Clearly She loves her life. I would love to see Beau sneaking up on the new toy. Good luck Ms. Belle on your horticulture mission. Looking forward to the status on the mailed in chicks. They actually put food and water in the shipping container so the chicks do have food and water (usually). Have a great weekend Lovely People.
