Moving new Ducks to the Ponds and other Random Clips around the Homestead

The ducks are old enough to go to the pond, but they don't know what to think of all that water. Plus other short videos from during the week around the homestead.

We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.

We used to have woods around our house, and around the end of April every year, the fireflies would arrive. By the hundreds if not thousands. I thought they were using our woods as a convention center; but after a while, I finally realized they were coming up out of the low muck where most likely, the previous batch of flies would lay their eggs. It was a glorious sight. In one low area, on the ground, there would be three groups of hundreds, each. They glowed in unison, but when one group was "on" the other two were "off" ... It was really a very neat "happening." Whole new meaning to the term, "Like a duck to water!" saying! And yes, I love watching your farm life!

[@duaneklein4924]

The husbandry you and Rebekah display for your farmstead and animals is inspiring. Congrats on hitting 70k subscribers. Everyone that is a subscriber needs to share this channel with one other person. They are a good couple that love their animals and farm and show the good, the troublesome and the rewards of small farming! Honest and forthright! Which is admirable in a society that always wants perfection. The imperfect, perfect couple and farmstead! My favorite channel by far on YT. Thanks for taking us along!

[@anthonywood8390]

We are two 80 year olds in the UK and my wife loves your videos thank you

[@Sword-Shield]

The ducks are sayin... "🔥 HOT...🔥 HOT...🔥 🔥 HOT!!! Listen 👂🦻 🤣🤣👍✌💯🇺🇸

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

Dog's like: "Yaaaaaaaaaaay! I got a Taxi!!!" 😉 Thanks a lot for the video!

[@stephaniewilson3955]

I love the random clips that show the normal stuff you do. They are fun!

[@kenthorsen4558]

Looks like a good crop of poison ivy in the .40 second. Congrats on the 70,000 subs.

[@Chris-jh3tg]

I sure hope those cicadas got a good case of poison ivy when they decided to shed their exoskeletons on poison ivy, lol.

[@davebrown3301]

70,000 now, 100,000 coming fast, Congratulations!

[@sharonanspach2734]

Congrats to the over 70k subscribers

[@paulcole2575]

Another great video nice looking ducks has well

[@roscoejones4515]

There's the Emergency Backup Dog!😁

[@wendyc.5769]

Love your channel! I don’t think I’ve missed a single video since finding your channel 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@bettyechols6405]

That little dog in the crate is so cute

[@margaretbedwell58]

Loved this video....so special trying to get those ducks in water. I guess next time you will give baby ducks a kiddie pool to splash in. This shows the old adage is not necessarily true. "Just like a duck to water" definitely doesn't resonate with this crew. Hahaha. They told the other ducks last night, they were "house ducks" and were going home. You and Rebeccah are now the proud owners of 4 pet ducks. Good Luck. Have a Blessed day.

[@roblynch7234]

Congrats on 70K subscribers!

[@peggysizemore4207]

Hi Evan👋🏻woohoo 70,000👏🏻👏🏻

[@skrtskit1521]

[@thejaxson6222]

Congrats on 70k subs that is awesome just like you a-w-e-s-o-m-e for making these videos and bringing us along.

[@ameliasonger3758]

Congratulations on your 70,000subs. God Bless you and your family

[@thebackyardlife475]

Not sure if it would be worth your time but I remember you saying the ducks sleep on the water for safety. It might be a fun idea to build a floating coop or dock for them to get on at night. Not sure if they would use it. Just a fun idea.

[@patriciabeyer7824]

Hi. The ducks will love the pond. 🥰🥰🙌👍👍

[@bay9876]

The earth keeps on going even under our feet with the Cicadas. Duck and geese don't automatically take to water. The Cicadas are a nutritional change of diet for the chickens.

[@rodfair5698]

You keep on making good videos and we will keep on watching! Congratulations!

[@joannak4640]

Great video 😁 Poor Finney though.

[@DPW55]

Yes every seven years the beetles emerge,

[@curtesamoangelos5995]

Watching from Yosemite Kentucky. Fun duck video. Put a smile on my face.

[@mitch_smith]

Congratulations on 70,000. Well done.

[@marilynwiley9882]

You should Put some of that Pond Blue Product in your Water to help your Pond have less Moss/Scum from being on your Pond!!!!

[@terrycastor8299]

Rebecca: Duck wrangler. Have ducks. Will shoo.🤪

[@lynettecox890]

My goodness, your dogs have gotten huge. Loved the little one in the milk crate on the front of the quad.

[@sroberts605]

You know what you have to do... go and get your cozzies on, lol.

[@yackfzay6224]

Cicadas bring luck and peace. It's time to aerate the pond.

[@enduser1982]

Aeration does work but only on a large scale. They need fish that'll keep the pong clean...I've mentioned this to them multiple times..

[@lylesmith1949]

Wow! 70k subs! Good job guys! Love your videos!!! Keep' Em coming!

[@annettenewton6240]

They said this year was going to be big numbers of the cicadas. More than it has ever been.

[@beverleyspugsandhomestead.]

Lov the little one in the milk crate lol

[@richarddunn7040]

I really enjoy your videos really brings a smile to my face

[@woolliehead]

[@waynek921]

[@hankfacer7098]

Thanks indeed for the short snapshots I enjoy them, sometime with others you might get a full video of the same thing which become tiring. But I really enjoy & look forward to you updates. God Bless from Aussie

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@freddking4389]

Great video Evan. You have a great channel. I enjoy!!

[@scottbaker3659]

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

I used to play with the shells as a kid. Flew them and crashed them like they were Star Wars X-Wings and Tie Fighters. 😊

[@Bex-rg8pj]

Congratulations on 70k 🎈

[@texasproud3332]

Congrats

[@janiegrissom6344]

Enjoyed this vlog. Those ducks were just too funny. Had me laughing watching you try to get them in the pond. Maybe you'll have to pull out a kiddy pool again for any others you raise.😂🤣 P.S. I'm a little behind on your vlogs, but Congratulations on the 70K.😎💗

[@monirep5359]

Congratulations, I love your channel

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

Kentucky side of the lower Ohio River valley and we're supposed to be having these periodic Cicadas also, some places nearby are getting them but we haven't had a single one and it is something of a mystery. I suspect it may be weather related, it's only been recently that it has started getting normal hot, it's been an unusual cool spring.

[@lanalyons6873]

We call them jar flies in oklahoma lol

[@bobjoncas2814]

...good one, keep safe..

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Love your channel! Great Job!

[@alexandert6489]

[@sueashworth560]

Congrats on the 70k

[@jakeschisler7525]

I built a floating thing for the ducks where we use to live and it has stuff growing on it an that was 10 years ago

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

My son Spencer graduated 2yrs early and went back to take some college and teach wrestling.

[@letartcircuitrider118]

Good job 👍🏼

[@philipgarrett394]

Hey how are you all doing

[@ericheise4051]

Evan I noticed your diesel cans in back of truck 🛻 one of the hardest trouble shoots I’ve ever had was a stink bug climbed into spout. And when tractor tank got below 1/2 full engine would be starved of fuel from stink bug clogging inlet causing engine to shut down needing venting. Causing hours of lost time. I keep a shop cloth in spout now . I took 3 years to figure out .

[@debrabeam5474]

They just don't know yet about that Pond! Poor babies. Great video. Thanks for sharing. God bless 🇺🇸❤

[@deanmagnuson2993]

Hello from Grand Forks

[@michaelbobbiharris2587]

Good video

[@ericbarnes9303]

Congratulations on 70

[@squirrellyacres]

Congratulations on hitting 70k. Hope the ducks venture out on the pond soon.

[@joycemcintyre5543]

That looks so cute with Maggie in the basket. She seems to love it. I live in Central IL and we don't have the Cicadas this year. We had them a few years ago though.

[@carlfoltz4244]

You have a boat. Take'em out in the dadgum pond and put'em in the water. Rhey'll get it quick.

[@kevink2831]

Great video Evan, its good to see what you do during your day on the homestead...

[@norrisjohnston7674]

Great job Evans

[@danne77sthlm]

I would never have thought of to need to have the ducks gets used to the water, this was equal fun and equally educational, I was really surprised by this.. and yeah, honestly it was a bit fun watching you try to get them into the pond ;)

[@julieneal6657]

Congrats on hitting over the 70K mark, You guys have come so far..amazing to watch!

[@fredjohns8]

70,000, Congratulations!

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Country View Acres - Evan and Rebecca nice to see you both love watching your videos new Duck beautiful, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐐🐝🐄🎥👍👍👍

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

You have to build a new duck shelter for the 4 duck's

[@silkedavid8876]

You need to swimming with them. There is a famous true story how a young woman brought up ducks in Germany from eggs and had to go into the water with them. Like that movie with the geese.

[@csnanny1882]

I can’t believe you didn’t film the baby ducks on the pond. I loved this video.Bring us more.

[@ronnieprice6732]

Hey Evan! I really enjoy your videos; especially watching you use the older equipment to maintain your homestead. I’m curious as to what your daily employment is while also working your farm chores. I will be retiring from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on July 31, and I am retired from the USAF; therefore will have about 40 years of federal service. My birthday is August 1; so would appreciate a shout-out on that day. Looking forward to watching more videos on setting up your barn with your various tools...really like your new barn.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I work industrial maintenance repairing equipment. Mostly electrical side of things. But I have a experience with machining and mechanical aspects as well.

[@darlaherbst5929]

That lettuce looks so good! Garden to table, must be very tastey! Those ducks were so funny, your doing the right thing for them!

[@Infinity.....]

Heaven...Miss Maggie looks so cute riding in the basket! 🐾 🐾 💕

[@maggiesue4825]

We had the yearly kind of cicadas in our Virginia home; I've only experienced the 17-year kind twice in my life out in the countryside. As children, we could always find several cicada shells on our old maple tree, and we'd pull them off and hang them on our blouses as 'brooches.' And when I was a young mother, living in the country and experiencing my first 17-year bunch, it was so funny watching the chickens and guinea-hens running around after them. They could almost stick out their necks and - voila! Snack time!! Fond memories. Hope your ducks do well in their new home, and that your dog(s) leave them alone. Ever thought about building a faux island in the pond for them to lay their eggs and shelter?

[@Bamaman14k]

Fantastic video, it's nice to see all the little things you do. I got to say though, I haven't found anything remotely as funny as aquaphobic ducks, in a long time. I watched this more than once, just to see those ducks. God bless Jimmy

[@jerrygibs8120]

I really appreciate your recognition of other people's birthdays and accomplishments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Blessings to you and Rebecca. ☝️🙏🙌💪...

[@waynejones5239]

They were not used to water so it will take a little bit of time

[@DanKlein_1]

mmm. I saw last years canned pepper rings when you opened up the fridge to put the lettuce away. We do a lot of peppers. Our latest use is to make cowboy candy. Calls for Jalapenos but we we have used hungarian wax. Year before that was pepper rings. Then we had a several year run on hot pepper, mustard relish. Congrats on the 70k. Can't wait for the big 100.

[@augustreil]

My wife makes the best pepper rings, eat them like candy !

[@duncanosborne4871]

Hi ethan you can usually tell the difference between drakes and ducks as in the drake its tail feathers will start curl where as the ducks dont, the white ducks looks like they are pekin which are very good meat birds, you can get jumbo pekin And one called the grimaud duck which is ready for processing at 9 weeks

[@JamesCouch777]

I guess our cicadas didn't set their alarm, they are still sleeping.

[@kmarch6630]

Congratulations! The two of you work so hard and it's paying off.

[@kingkong7617]

The ducks will get used to the pond and they will stay closer to it once they get accustomed to being in the water on a regular basis, the chickens are getting close and the two cows are growing bigger. My dad, my brother and I used to buy calves and raise them on my uncle's farm and then carry them to a meat processor and he would process the cows and cut and wrap the meat and we had a freezer storage locker and put the meat in there until we needed it and that helped cut cost a lot.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Evan and Rebecca, enjoyed watching you getting the ducks to try the pond. Sure hope they get use to it quickly. Looks good around there. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

[@TomBiggerstaff-gn1ws]

CONGRATULATIONS hope the hay is ready to bale this Saturday and your getting it up in good condition

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Very much enjoyed today's video Evan and Rebecca! See you on the next one!

[@belindawalsh5407]

I always enjoy your videos. The segment on moving the ducks was my favorite.

[@btomlin5764]

We get the cicadas here in Texas too Evan, but not quite that bad! Lol. I saw several news stories about how bad they were going to be this year. Great video as always. Looking forward to some hay baling!

[@nealpurdy1202]

Brood 10 cicadas only surface every 17 years they are by far the largest brood of cicadas you wont see them again for 17 years.

[@patwanner1781]

Hey guys, I loved watching the duck adventures. It’s always fun at your farm!🐓🐓🐄
