MASSIVE Ice Storm FREEZES EVERYTHING on the Homestead

[@lisagilmore4519]

I have 3 hens setting…northern Tennessee. I will let them set to replenish the flock. End of March I should have several new babies. Keep warm. Have a great day.

I know crazy….You too!

[@maryranch5329]

Really...not looking forward to that. I was out of power 4 days... hopefully no power outages this time

[@maryrickles5716]

Hi! Are your pigs Mangalita’s? How do you keep the grass where the chickens are? Do you add more seed every year? Mine always tear it up and it’s nothing but dirt/mud. Thank you. Good video.

[@diannemiller4754]

We had lots of snow up north of you. My son was driving semi in that nasty stuff on lower Michigan.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Crazy storms but not much snow in total this winter

[@diannemiller4754]

@Acres Of Adventure Homestead it is definitely a weird winter. I'm going to try planting my garden a little later this spring

[@thescientificmethod1991]

What camera(s) and video editing software do you use for filming.

[@cathywilliamson2383]

Wow I hate that for you guys

[@janetlisty7045]

I have started using your recipe for chicken feed but my chickens are not eating the oats at all. They keep throughing it on the ground. Any ideas? I have tried not giving new feed in case they were just wanting sun flower seeds but it didnt change. They still aren't eating oats.

[@mommamoore]

is that just 1 day of eggs? how many hens are you up to?

[@AcresOfAdventure]

No it’s probably like a week of them going in that spot. We don’t always check inside the coop just the nesting boxes

[@mommamoore]

@@AcresOfAdventure i was just curious. I am just south of you by a state and my hens just started laying again... I know their age has to do with it so I am not too concerned because we are integrating 9 new ones in a few weeks.

[@maryrickles5716]

@@mommamoore how do you integrate new chickens? (Without them being pecked to death )

[@mommamoore]

@@maryrickles5716 well I let them get to know each other through fencing for about a week or two and then they just have to sort out a new pecking order. There’s lots of opinions on that and videos too 😊

[@galeparker1067]

@@AcresOfAdventure Well, if you're not diligent clearing the chicken house (and run), of eggs, and an egg gets broken/frozen, and the hen EATS it, the others will notice that, and then they will ALL EAT the eggs before you can get them..... Sounds silly BUT it is truly heart-breaking. 😩 Should be avoided, very hard to reverse this problem.

[@erickajavier9687]

Where is that , what city and town?

[@AcresOfAdventure]

We’re around West Michigan

[@texschuler]

Do water sources avoid ice?

[@AcresOfAdventure]

What do you mean?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

First! Woot Woot!!! We haven't had the ice, but we have had serious snow! I've had an ice storm like that before though, it's so crazy!

[@AcresOfAdventure]

It’s awesome to look at, but of course not fun to deal with animals or drive in!

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

@@AcresOfAdventure Last time we had it here I had a slow motion crash into a snow bank. it was so slick! Be safe out there!

[@chicoringler]

Get dairy and beef animals

[@AcresOfAdventure]

We want to!
