A Typical Day on Our Small Farm in Canada

Love your music choices for these vlogs. Most of them are spot on and add a very complimentary depth to the experience as you share your farm days with us. I always feel I’m walking along with you 🙂.

So thankful that you share your life on the farm with us! It is hard but gratifying work. The animals are all looking great and have a good life . The dogs and cats are so happy to be near you all day. Just amazing.

Really appreciate you joining us here at the farm and following along 😊

Hello Chad, I was looking at your wood pile and thought I’d sprinkle the cornmeal baking soda mix generously all over that wood pile, great rodent deterrent. Our your Olive has the same personality as our 6 month old Sheepadoodle! Such *awesome* dogs.

Channels awesome

[@VintageStylebyJo]

Always love when you open the cat door, they get so excited to explore🐱🐈‍⬛So cute mango waits for tango❤🥰

[@HappyHostages]

Google says that roosters will let the hens peck at them because it helps with “maintaining social order” so that’s interesting ! And if there is a bully hen that’s going after others some people say to remove the bully for a few days 🤷‍♀️ chickens be crazy ! Also the spurs can be removed painlessly, but you’d have to watch a KZbin vid on that! Good luck farmer man! And thanks for caring for all your animals ❤

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yup hens are something else eh. And I guess the roo just sits there and let them pluck away 😆

[@tea-skyy]

It’s great how your darling can watch what you were up to on the farm ❤😂🎉

Fozzy Bear seems to be more of a companion than a hunter like the rest of the Claw Crew😅

[@theresathomas1258]

He’s eating well somehow somewhere judging by his build

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Fozzy is the first cat to the food dish everyday. He especially enjoys the juice in the canned food, he’ll lick the juice then push the other cats outta way to lick their juice too. But he does hunt I have video of him catching them and eating it. 🐱

[@ceciliapreziose3783]

pre pond!

[@shawnnasawyer2115]

Seems like Fozzy wants to retire from being barn cat to house cat? I can picture him sleeping in front of a warm fire all day ❤😂.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I’ve stood there at the front door and he literally won’t come in, I’d have to train him that it’s safe in there 😂

[@leonafaryna7617]

What a beautiful start to my day to see all your animals. Their personalities are truly something special to witness and the way you showcase them allows us a little time to feel like part of the crew. I like it❣️

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I thought I’d fit an extra video in before Christmas plus my regular Monday episode 🎉

Thnx so much for the comment ♥️

[@yeagerxp]

Chad this video brought back a memory of my younger years when I used to do photography as a hobby. I once drove all the way from Toronto to Algonquin Park in the fall to take pictures of the scenery. Weather report said no rain , no clouds, so one Saturday morning I drove to the Park . Sunrise started good, then the clouds rolled in drizzle.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. I never went back. At least you are on the farm, and your filming is digital. Nicely done 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Back in the early 90’s I was right into photography I took classes at George Brown college for 2 years. Landscape, wedding and portrait stuff on a 35 mm too. Never used what I learned outside of my own hobby, but it’s kinda coming in handy since starting KZbin. I have a Nikon 750 as my big ticket dslr but it’s not for video more for still shots and takes incredible photos.

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

You need to investigate why and who is going after your red rooster .I don't know , but I would find somebody that dose know . Take care . Can't believe it's the end of December and no snow ❄️🌨️ . Same in Utah USA . Happy Holidays 🌲🏞️🌄🎄🌌

[@Kitty_cat2001]

I love your intro music & then the lovely kitty cat literally waddles into the camera shot lol ! Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Right on 👍

[@RJH_LIL]

Good morning everyone. Chad where's the snow? LOL now it's autumn again. I love seeing Fozzie follow you around everywhere. I went back and saw an old episode when you first got Fozzie. I shuddered watching you clean the gutters without any gloves. I hope Big Reds feathers heal. Merry Christmas everyone ❤️

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

My hands are pretty tough but I couldn’t find my dishwashing gloves, they’re still packed away from moving the workshop 😆 The cold was worse than the gunk though.

[@jennykarling862]

Watching from England, love these videos. The cats are amazing!

[@emilieseitl9662]

Any bears in your neighbourhood ?? .asking for a friend 😁

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

We have the potential for bears cause our property abuts the Simcoe forest , but I’ve never seen any nor have any of my trail cams. Mostly deer, fox, coyotes, weasels, bobcats, raccoons and many other types of wildlife.

[@jimomertz]

Wow, your days go quick up there in Canada. Only 30 minutes! No wonder you were hurrying to get things done. 😅

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha yup 6 hrs of work, 4 hrs of filming, 4 hrs of editing all in 30 min 😂

[@Blechbüx01]

Who let the Ducks out :-))

[@marilynmaker5942]

I love your channel and your farm! Gee, I want your life! I could live my dream of being a cat lady! I love the cats (especially Dexter). Thank you for taking such good care of all your animals. I have so many questions, but will start with: is there an actual hidden spring? Keep up the great work both on the videos and on the farm! Merry Christmas to you and your wife! 🎄🎄🥰

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks, Dexter is pretty cool. And under our property there are 4 aqueducts with the top 5% for water quality in Canada. It’s very delicious water, super fresh with lots of pressure.

We've got a mini chicken farm on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state. I had to put my beautiful best friend dog to sleep the other day it was one of the hardest things I ever did this is a hard thing about farm life is death and animals get old and they die😢 her name was Maggie also and she was a Italian Maremma

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Sorry to hear that…. I have a 14 year old lab/whippet in my lap,right now that is completely blind now and slowly losing his hearing… it won’t be long before I have to take him and do the same thing… I’m dreading it….

[@wildwoodskimberlynewworldd5282]

@@ZippedUpKitz make sure your veterinarian has a good bedside manner the one I took her to did not. Make sure they give her a tranquilizer first then the shot 😩

Those dogs are so sweet, the little whimpering melted my heart!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah I was out doing that firewood with the chainsaw so she hadn’t seen me for a while. She’s a sweetheart ♥️

[@ZippedUpKitz]

My grandmother would pick up the rooster, flip him over and take a pair of pliers to the spur… they pop right off… you can also use toenail clippers for dogs if you just want to trim them… tomuse the pliers, just get a good grip and twist a little one way and then back the other direction… if he bleeds, it will only be a tiny bit but you can use cornstarch on the bleeding spur and it will stop pretty quickly… just don’t put him back with the hens if he's still bleeding… Have a Merry Christmas! 😊😊😊😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thanks for the tip, that’s what I think I’ll do, just break it off so it can start fresh. It’s interesting though that him Big Red, MJ and Elvis are all the same age but their spurs are nowhere near the size of Big Red’s, probably just cause of the breed. Cheers.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@HiddenSpringFarm you are welcome :)

[@cozyhomemakingvibes]

I trim my roosters spurs by just picking them up, & trimming them in segments like a dog’s toenails. I use sharp garden pruning shears. They don’t mind, but if you cut too much it will bleed like a dogs toenails. So I don’t take too much. Just enough.

[@cherylhowker1792]

I know at our pet shop- in the dog section they sell chicken feet as treats…. The bloke told me they like quavers to dogs …. I know it’s natural and a type of recycling but he gave us one to try and she likes it but I didn’t lol

[@cozyhomemakingvibes]

@@cherylhowker1792I wouldn’t take his whole foot… that might make protecting his flock tricky. 😂

[@cherylhowker1792]

@@cozyhomemakingvibes I just meant, sorry, that they must be able to be clipped some how as they sell em. I didn’t explain (I have autism and don’t get that sometimes lol)

[@primrose3524]

I watch your vlogs usually more than once and eagerly wait for new ones🙂. Can you tell us what you say to the ducks that gets them moving? It sounds like “tuna ganah”.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha “Tulugan Na” means go to bed in Tagalog, I thought it’d be funny a few years go to teach the ducks some Filipino so it’s easier to get them back in the hut.

[@wandaeades7274]

I saw the coyote! Molly and Olive are great guard dogs! I noticed you buy a ton of feed! I know it's expensive! Great idea to rent out the farmhouse!! Watch ever week from North Carolina!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes historically OES lived with the sheep out on pasture to watch over the flock. They’re not LGD and are a herding breed but have very protective instincts too. I do like to go to the feed store only once in a while and load up the truck and buy a lot.

[@sunnyday5621]

What a great day on the farm! A very Happy Christmas to you and your family. For a while, my partner and I lived on an 18 Acre farm in north central Arkansas, in the US. We heated with an outside wood furnace, so I know exactly what you are saying about firewood being a never ending job!😸. Love all the cats; I have three, whom I love dearly. From southmost tip of Texas, Brownsville.

[@tea-skyy]

Alyssa’s animal sanctuary channel ❤ She has a quick video on how to remove Talon spurs from a rooster using needle nose, pliers. Please watch it if you can. You’re twisting it off and then the sheath is what you’re left with. You can feed that to your dog 😅 she let you know that you can. And some roosters bleed more than others. If you don’t trim it off, it can grow to long and into the body of the rooster. 🐓

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

This is good, thank u so much. 👍

[@tea-skyy]

@@HiddenSpringFarmYour welcome and I’ll try not to advertise another channel 😅

[@turboredcart]

[@slomo1716]

Do you take your dogs home with you? I wondered IF you left them overnight on the farm.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Oh the dogs are our companion dogs so they come home with us.

[@siarha70]

Maybe their could be something put down so the rabbits can burrow

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Well the entire floor area of the rabbitat I installed fencing so they can’t dig out but they can still dig a few inches until they hit the fence.

[@jandcschwartz]

I just cut the spurs with dog nail clippers. I didn't know other ways were recommended.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes someone said to just use pliers and bend it back and forth until the whole thing comes off, seems like it would hurt.

[@jandcschwartz]

@@HiddenSpringFarm I think that that will hurt and bleed because they will accidentally break them off and there is a lot of blood and sometimes they will limp and favor it for a bit.

[@Wicked_urban_garden]

Do you ever have baby bunnies?

[@ceciliapreziose3783]

Call a vet for those spurs

Yup feed cost a lot any more I pay $21 for 20 kilo , or 50 lbs , for hen food I live in Canada, and food price for hens , sheep terrible prices , But I love my birds so what the heck

[@californiadreaming567]

How do you keep your dog’s hair from getting knots in it from the rain?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Well I brush them out as they’re drying a few times, but Molly goes to a pro groomer every 6-8 weeks. Molly’s hair is super thick unlike Olive her hair is so fine and easy to maintain.

[@californiadreaming567]

Yes I just wondered with them getting wet. @@HiddenSpringFarm

[@jandcschwartz]

How do pigs stay warm when they are all wet?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

They have a much thicker fat layer than all the other animals, but it’s the wind that’ll make em cold that’s why I keep them in the barn at nights.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

What does "Cha loo guh nah" mean?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha “Tulugan Na” means “go to bed” in Tagalog which is the Filipino language. I’ve been trying to teach them to go to bed in case ever I have a pond and can’t get the ducks off the pond at night.
