Mounting STRESS On A Farm!

[@markpursell8192]

Love the skinny jeans comment of the video! lol! You gotta love people that think they need to correct others, because they think they know it all and that their way is the only way…

[@shellys7660]

I also love the logic that just because he mentioned someone's name that that means he has to do it that person's way.

[@mikefromwv1010]

I'm not a farmer, but smart enough to know that you probably know what's best for your situation. Ears open mouth closed seems to work the best. Thanks for sharing

[@thesavorylife7707]

“Eyes open and mouth shut” is a long lost art no longer taught. At least ever since the skinny jeans soy latte people evolved

[@legacyfarmmarket]

I love the "skinny Jean comment of the day" segment! Please keep doing those! 😂 They're all experts, but none of them actually do the work.

[@peggyhaines7394]

Me too. Please. God bless you and your beautiful wife Sandra. Praying for you Sandra. Feel better soon. 🙋🏻‍♀️🇺🇸❤️

[@dougharrell7315]

Love the skinny jeans segment! Praying for a quick recovery for Saundra!

[@Jason-xb3jh]

Sending Sandra hope and prayers for a speedy recovery. I live in Montana by Yellowstone National park and work on an Equestrian Ranch. If I was closer I would totally volunteer to help ya’ll out while Sandra is convalescing. I love your channel. Your values, compassion and hard work are admirable. Thank you. 🙂👍✨

[@markspradley-ee2wq]

You need to keep the Skinny Jeans comment Of The Day segment! I really love your channel by the way!

[@miraclefarm1927]

Bless your heart Sondra, that is a painful slow healing injury so don't rush it. Skinny Jeans comments are the best!

[@bryanb1259]

🙏 speedy recovery Saundra 👍💥

[@terrytesterman1689]

Get well wishes for Saundra. Have plantar problems myself and people don't realize what pain can be from just normal walking much less unlevel ground. God Bless you both and keep you well.

[@hawkrose8403]

I just wanted to say how beautiful Saundra is. I hope your foot heals quickly ❤

[@a-survivors-journey]

Your “Skinny Jeans Comment “ is so appropriate!!! Farming is hard work and stressful. Hope the wife gets better soon!!!

[@Carycares1817]

Sandra wishing you speedy recovery. You are a super woman on your farm ❤can't believe how hard you work!

[@zdoublins]

Praying for a speedy recovery for Sandra! Love what ya’all are doing, keep it up!

[@thesavorylife7707]

I vote “YES” on the skinny jeans quote of the day. Also I believe that the Swine Rodeo Queen actually had a training injury and with the upcoming season she may not want to show weakness. Please, please, PLEASE keep her safe. My money this year is on her!

[@ChrisMeek-gg5de]

Loved the " Bar is closed " comment. 😊 Hope Sandra gets well soon.

[@bdb1052]

Prayers for Saundra, keep on keeping on Chuck! Love your channel

[@Rodeojoneswa12]

Sandra has such a sweet spirit about her. Big fan of hers and I will be praying for her foot. God bless you guys and more of the Skinny Jeans Comments segment.... :)

[@gailrothermund9209]

Speedy recovery Saundra! I can’t stand comments that are unproductive. Wish I were closer, I’d offer a hand! Love your piglets and baby chicks! Keep up the good work. 🐥🐖

[@yvettedemariaexprealtyllc7592]

You guys are great! Skinny jean comment of the day has me 😂😂😂! Praying for Sandra to heal fast! 🙏🏻

[@murraydelawski7496]

Do what right for you .don't listen to any one. You know what best for your farm. Some times things aren't allways right but you make it work that's farming.

[@pamelamercado6902]

I wish the pretty one a speedy recovery. She's definitely a hard worker both of you are Loved the skinny jean comment if more people would call out these nuts there be less stupid and nasty comments. Nice looking calf

[@wineberryfarm6445]

Prayers for Sandra speedy recovery

[@shanelamell2229]

You two are doing a great job and do not worry about some AO that thinks he knows it all. Thanks for sharing and I hope your better 1/2 gets better real soon. God bless and have a nice safe day!!

[@marcypetty3375]

May God bless you both and heal Saundra as soon as possible. I wish I lived close.

[@motleyassortment5512]

Love your video, always a joy to watch! Speedy recovery to Sandra's foot.

[@user-br2bf1hl6n]

Get well soon Saundra. Ignore the critics Chuck. Easy for them to sit on their ass and judge. Best wishes to y'all. Deb

[@breezyridgeranch]

Where do you get your heat lamps that are in the brooder? Can't seem to find them online.

[@jdfras9041]

I'm glad Sandra, isn't hurt to bad. As for the hatchery you did the right thing!

[@kerriskitchen4747]

I hate that Saundra is hurt. Get well soon. Love the skinny jean segment lol. Some people have to be smart a****. I love your farm and all the love you put in it

[@SouthernFamilyHomestead23]

Skinny Jeans for the win! haha. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I believe one of the funniest parts of all these videos is "stupid geese". I think most of us have that type of love/hate relationship with one of our animals. For us, it's the stupid guineas.

[@roozak]

We’ve used Freedom Ranger hatchery with great success. We’ve also used Myers hatchery with no problems, Turkeys and chickens.

[@allonesame6467]

Good healing to Saundra! Hang in there Chuck!

[@James-ek8wu]

We switched from Hoover last year due to high mortality rates. We currently use the chick hatchery and Valley Farms Hatchery. Our most recent batch of 300 arrived in mid February and we have only lost 15. We have birds coming every 12 weeks so we can't afford the types of losses we experienced with Hoover.

[@thurlowfamilyfarm4628]

I’ve enjoyed the videos and hope Sandra gets better soon. I like the coop for the laying hens I saw in this video; wanting to add; actually expand egg production on our place. Have you done a video showing your coop and how you built it? I’m in central Michigan. Thanks

[@jeboutdoors377]

Hello great videos yall make. Love watching yall videos. I hope she feels better soon. Miss seeing her out on the farm with you. Have yall ever thought about getting a large feed been to store feed in and put somewhere on the farm to help yall feed the animals.

[@isaiahallen7734]

What brand of heat lamps are those in your brooders?

[@james-dt7gd]

Prayers for Sondra a speedy recovery!! It would be great for you to have an intelligent and knowledgeable conversation with”Skinny Jean” people, if they had intelligent and knowledgeable ones!! Love your videos!! So informative!!

[@BinfordMJ]

That guy is an armchair quarter back. I am new around here, but I like this "skinny jean comment of the day" segment! There are always those, and you might remember these commercials from back in the day, who fit this bill: "I'm not a surgeon but I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night so I can operate on you". I am enjoying your videos, and hope that Saundra is OK.

[@shirleyread5445]

We have ordered our meat and egg chicken for the past 3 years from freedom ranger hatchery and have not had any problems. Have a batch coming the 2nd week in April. We live in Martinsville VA. Hope you have better luck with them.

[@codycompton2179]

I had issues with hoover in the past and results never changed. We use meyer hatchery and have had excellent results! Big healthy birds with little to no deaths, customer service is excellent and very responsive with any issues.

[@jerryhorne6187]

Just the oppiste here. Myers sent pathetic batches all last summer to me. Never again. Currently got 79 out of 81 at 3weeks from Hoover going strong.

[@patmitchell2389]

Aww Sandra that is awful I hope your foot heals fast ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SullasFarm]

Might be how far away Hoover is compared to FRH. FRH to you is about 7.5 hours, but Hoover to you is about 15.5 hours. No telling how much jostling and temp fluctuations those chicks have been though. When I ordered form McMurray (also Iowa) to FL they had a 17 hour ride and we had many deaths. When we ordered from Cackle to our home now- both us and Cackle are in Missouri- not a single death

[@annebyrne4897]

Oh Lordy, Saundra...wishing you a quick recovery. I know you must be in quite a bit of pain. I've had some injuries myself over the last year and know how hard it is to get chores done when that happens. Please reach out to me if you guys need any farm chore help. I'm just 2 hrs away in Black Mountain. Heirloom Annie Farms. God be with you both.

[@myronmarsh7582]

Love your videos. They’re inspiring. Keep em coming! :)

[@budhames5254]

Hi Chuck and Saundra!

[@marshallsayre58]

good luck with recovery, take the help, Saundra. I'm glad u went to another hatchery..sometimes its good to diversify. where do you sell your product besides on line?

[@patrickrucker1171]

Love your channel, thanks for sharing your farm with us.

[@kittyrichards9915]

Skinny Jean comment of the day is a hit in my book!!

[@gthomsen180]

I loved the Comment of the Day. I don't understand why some people feel the need to unconstructively criticize other people. I have a few ideas, but it wouldn't be politically correct for me to share them. I try to ignore them. Hope for a speedy recovery for Saundra.

[@galestegall6255]

Hello Chuck and Saundra, I love watching you two with everyday farm life. Great practical living. Now 78 and 79 we have been farming or homesteading for 61 years now. Keep up the good work💕

[@anncooper3960]

Saundra, you're in my prayers!

[@randyclay2225]

Thanks for the video Chuck.

[@lynndecker932]

I love your rotation system but how do you water them?

[@sheiladuncan1027]

Love the skinny jeans idea ! Please keep that going ! Ok; here's what I've learned some farmers are doing in Ireland. They are grazing sheep on their winter crops, like oats and wheat. The idea is that when the seed sprouts it puts out some leaves and one grain stem. The sheep graze it down, plus cultivate with those tiny hooves, and are moved on. The plants recover and throw out bunches of leaves, plus 3 or more seed stems. Thus, the crop is doubled and tripled ! How cool is that ? Supposedly, it's just an old practice that is being revived. As far as the chicks, I just buy small batches from places like Rural King and normally everything's good. This year I picked up 6 chicks of a breed new to me, and 5 died. They replaced them, and 2 of those died, too. I don't know what hatchery they used, but it seems many places are having issues. Mostly, I just incubate my own.

[@Marilou-g5t]

The grazing you describe sounds like Gabe Brown's stacked enterprises. He us in Bismaek, ND. He farms regeneratively.

[@brendahoffer5534]

Our problem was the post office. They drove all over town with them in the truck before delivering them to our local feed store. He said chickens weren’t his problem! Our local store lost at least a thousand chicks on delivery and many died within 48 hrs because of the cold. Good luck with the new batch! Saundra please feel better soon!❤❤❤

[@crusadesgeneral]

'stupid geese" hahaha amen used to have canadian geese land at my families pond and they would be so aggressive ha

[@maplewoodhomestead2017]

Hey there. How do you keep those cute little piglets from running under the wire?

[@christinemarcotte9544]

Hope you feel better Sandra

[@GrowWhereYouArePlanted]

Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

[@fedup1606]

Have you all looked into the delivery routes' lengths between the two hatcheries? Maybe the travel time is longer than what the chicks cold tolerance can handle.

[@jimoray3]

Love your style. Blessings of healing

[@momontheprairie]

#1 I LOVE the skinny jean comment of the day! Keep doing them! 🤣 #2 I think you need a shirt that says STUPID GEESE on the front and your logo on the back! ❤

[@RonShelton-qf1qe]

love you guys. Keep up the good work!

[@roadtripgreg1636]

Perhaps unusual question for you. Would you ever entertain volunteer workers to visit see the farm and help you with the place? Sounds like you need some extra hands. I make a spring trip down in NC to catch some college & minor league baseball every year and will be traveling down that way. How would I best reach out to you to discuss further (if you are at all interested, of course)

[@wadesfarmstead]

I think you were very smart with your decision on switching where you get your chicks for the time being. I hope Shondra gets to feeling better. I hope I spelled her name right. Take care.

[@adams8434]

Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming.

[@denniskirby6873]

I was also going to ask you what is a good feed? I’m sure you probably get yours mixed but I was raising them to fatten them up to butcher. I’ve just got Rhode Island reds and Jersey giant but I’m gonna go to the Cornish cross and I was just wondering what kind of feed you all use

[@marscrow]

Skinny-jean people never know when to simply hush up and move on. The rest of us will continue to follow you with appreciation and positive comments, God willing.

[@marscrow]

Prayers for Sondra's full and quick recovery.

[@kkeenan536]

Sondra will be in my prayers for speedy and complete healing 🙏 Question? If/when that broody hen hatches those eggs, how will the chicks get down?

[@patmitchell2389]

Your property is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@ShortbusMooner]

You might check your neighbors if any of their younguns might want to make some extra money, helping out. Sending Healing Prayers for the missus! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻

[@stevencouitt4286]

Wow,very expensive food bill for your pigs

[@deanl4193]

I've got a 75 Cornish X order coming in mid April from that same hatchery. Curious to see how our loss rate is.

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@lindaslack6871]

God bless you.

[@rogerkiser5890]

Saundra, give me a call. I have the number of a good workers comp lawyer. 😅 Chuck, take care of her! Get better soon girl!

[@joehackney4828]

Suggestion: Put long hooks on those crutches, so she can carry feed buckets. Foot problems not any fun, just take care and don't over due. Praying for a quick recovery.

[@CharlotteJones-hz5fr]

Where are y’all located?

[@brandongregg7348]

We use The chick hatchery. We got 156 and lost, and that was in January

[@brandongregg7348]

Lost 16

[@denniscote686]

I'll come over and help! Just ask Miss Saundra to cook me up one of them chicken dinners of hers!

[@jasonhayes140]

If u have pig feed waste, why not look for a used pig feeder? Will keep the feed in one spot, keep it dry and help avoid them wasting it. What do you think? I used to work on a hog farm.

[@gregpage9471]

What kind of gate on your electric fence that has looks like a frame

[@jasonelliott2055]

I think that comes from Primier 1 or Starkline

[@tonytango6676]

Ha ha ha ha ha. Love that skinny Jean comment.

[@CkHolly-hz2vv]

what hatchery did you get the 101/102 chicks from?

[@jasonelliott2055]

Hoovers in Iowa

[@patmitchell2389]

I love to see the cows and the hogs too. We raise chickens and geese and turkeys and guinnes.

[@TinyLiving]

😂😂 love the new skinny jean comment feature!

[@sherrywilliams409]

I sure hope Sandra feels better soon. I’ve never had problems with what she’s dealing with but my youngest son did and it was no fun at all. He’s a workhorse too. Just like his Daddy was. We lost him to brain cancer four years ago. After three brain surgeries in two years to remove tumors he had nothing left within him to fight with. But he did fight hard. After his first surgery he lost his speech. He quickly started speech therapy which was a very slow process. Then he was paralyzed on his right side after that third surgery. This man wanted to live so badly bc our youngest son got married during his illness. He wanted to be around to meet future grandchildren. They just weren’t ready to start a family since they had just married. Up til then we had only had two grandsons. Since his death we now have two granddaughters who he would have been ecstatic about since we had three sons and two grandsons. We also have two more grandsons. Needless to say our boys got busy! Hug your spouse and tell them that you love them EVERY day! We never know when!

[@markellis6727]

Chuck, I'll tell you the truth, if I lived a little closer, I'd be glad to help on the farm anytime you needed it, looks like things are beginning to green up around there, you're probably not going to need much more hay this year, looking forward to seeing you the first of May in Clemmons

[@JeremyGordon-rd3wz]

I hate those geese and skinny jean related material would be great merchandise for your farm! I love it! Hello from G&S Farm in Seagrove, NC.

[@jmasuo]

Get well soon.

[@pier-annelachance4960]

There is definitely an issue with some hatchery. I think some are stressed and they have issues keeping up. It is a hit or miss. On chickens we produce only heritage and hatch our own. For turkeys we depends on hatcheries and had good and bad.

[@niccoetzer8552]

Oh my word, the skinny jeans is hilarious 🤣… you know the skinny jeans trolls are going to be out in force 😂… get well soon boss lady ❤

[@HammerHeadRanch]

I like the skinny jeans comment of the day segment!

[@patbannwarth7813]

Hope you are better soon, Saundra. I'm sure sitting on the porch gets old real quick!

[@billkenosky3825]

Get well soon Saundra.

[@leannekenyoung]

Hard to keep a good woman down! At least that’s how I look at it, most women do way more than most people can even imagine and usually while doing two or three other full time jobs at the same time. I hope her foot heals quickly and that she’s careful to listen to the doc and what they advise. God bless and I like your skinny jean comment. Totally cracked me up! I can sooo envision that person too! 😂❤🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

[@johnmoore2555]

If yours are not Cornish what are they

[@TheBockCast]

I’m glad you know me, so you wouldn’t call me a bun headed skinny jeans man. Tell Saundra to quit that Rodeoing on the farm

[@KeepingupwiththeBarries]

What kind of pigs are those?

[@sandyshore8787]

The new chicks look so good! And big! They look healthier and act healthier. And you lost only one. Seems to be a better place to buy them. I enjoyed this video! Interesting and fun. Love the piggies and the chickens! Nice eggs, beautiful colors! Stupid Geese! Haha! When I would take my 4 year old daughter to the park pond years ago to feed the ducks , the Stupid Geese, a BUNCH OF THEM, would come after us and try to nip at my daughter. They wouldn’t scare away and I had to pick up my daughter and run! STUPID GEESE! We didn’t let them stop us though! ❤️ I hope Sandra feels better and ready to go soon❣️🥰

[@wm3138]

Hope she’s better soon.
