We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.

I really admire how well you take care of all of your animals. People tend to be lazy with cats and leave them to fend for themselves.

[@HELENGodLoves]

🎉🎉 🐖 piggies are getting big

[@alfa1f484]

so happy miss bubbles is starting to warm up to you a bit more!

[@jennifersutton3115]

The piglets are so cute. They growing up so fast 🐖🐖🐖

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah too fast 😆

[@FATPINETREEICONGIRL]

Coffee with pigs & chickens--great morning!🌱🌺🌱🌺

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

YES!!! 👏

[@leannhall6512]

Bubbles needs to stay inside lol she is too cute

[@HELENGodLoves]

She is so awesome and odd too. Being from same liter as Tango and Mango she seems like she's meant for indoor life than the farm life 😂

[@jennifersutton3115]

It's good to see Big Red is healing 👍

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Me too he’s doing well. I do have to get to the root of the problem though and that is which hen or hens are plucking his feathers.

[@naegwut]

Fozzy is huge!!!!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

A unit

[@janehill8760]

Love the footage of the piglets eating the peanut butter off of your finger❤️😊.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah they’re so cute eh

[@PJ-uv9fr]

I had no idea piglets would like marshmallows OR peanut butter - Love it!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Me neither but a viewer recommended so I tried it, seemed to work pretty good.

[@claudiarusso6702]

Commuting to work on the train and watching the claw crew and those gorgeous piglets, gosh they are getting big! Total cuteness, they're still skittish but they love marshmallows and peanut butter!👏👏👏👏😹❤️😻

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

You have a lot of fun with your animals , fun to watch thankyou 😊

[@RJH_LIL]

Good morning Chad. I never get tired of seeing your animals. Spring is around the corner

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Morning, it seems so close we’ve been having some decent temps lately.

[@jandcschwartz]

Yay, Bubbles is being so brave! Red's tail is on the way to beautiful. Probably need to check the hens apron hasn't grown into her skin. Without a rooster she should be able to heal without it.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah but Bubbles has many days where she keeps her distance from me…I try to make the best of the days where she approaches me.

[@brianrash9885]

I have always loved cats. Such amazing animals. 😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

They just make the farm more complete

[@suzannetaylor6382]

They are so cute ❤

[@bevfrench3496]

so fun to watch them trying NOT to get their feet wet...............too funny. Have you ever left Chunk and Maggie in the chicken coop overnight to see if they can catch that digging rascal? My lord, is there anything cuter than a baby pig? You need to dip more than one finger in the tasty peanut butter.

[@cozyhomemakingvibes]

Nice. Love to see the chickens. We call the sheath “quills”… not sure that is what it is, but I think so? I think it becomes the quills when it’s fully developed. Great vlog. Broke my foot…. I’m really missing my farm jobs. Those pigs are great 😂

[@stargaz3r125]

Our Ontario winter this year has been fantastic. I think I shovelled my driveway only TWICE this season. Loving the warm March Break here in Brantford. Sorry for the rest of Canadian though...

[@elisaa9981]

These cats are really living the best possible cat life. Absolutely great indoor space, a very nice catio, lots of love and care, and lots and lots of freedom to do their cat thing and enjoy life.

[@leonafaryna7617]

Watching the Crew leave their home base and tiptoeing around the ice reminded me so much of my kitty when she went with me to my Mom and Dad’s so many years ago. Her and I lived in a condo and their backyard was huge with gardens and grass. She refused to walk on the grass and would walk the perimeter and jump from stepping stone to stone or navigate the narrow concrete border around each of the gardens. It was pretty funny to watch when she could have gone anywhere she wanted to. The family all looked pretty happy this morning, and I just know how much they all appreciate you🤗🐾😘

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yup the difference between dogs and cats, dogs run thru the muck without a second thought but the cats are fully aware & they don’t wanna get dirty. So funny.

[@melaniehoshall6942]

Great. Now I've names for two of the two piglets stuck in my head. The spotted pig is Peebee ( be likes his peanut butter) and the black pig is Skunk (the white stripe up his nose).

[@yosoykibbles]

that is heaven ❤❤❤❤

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah it’s really a great way to live.

[@adventuresofafirestarter3718]

Look at all those wonderful cats that you so wonderfully take care of!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks ☺️

[@manub6556]

Das ist ja schon ein Teilerfolg😂❤

[@elisaa9981]

A friend of mine used to have hens. If a hen was being bullied by the others, she always took it out. She told me that if she didn't, it would only get worse. To me, it felt a little hard to digest that the victim was the one who got offed. But, nature. It is what it is.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

my plan is when I finally put Big Red back in, I'll watch to see which hen is pecking and remove her.

[@marablack23]

You can see from your videos how happy and well your animals are. For someone who said you don’t have experience your doing amazing on the farm

[@marilynmaker5942]

Always makes my day to hang out with you and the animals 🥰

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Good morning, have a great weekend eh.

[@user-zq6nl1wx4z]

Just so wonderful to see all these cute animals Thanks Chad and Remy xxx

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

❤️❤️

[@Jodie29687]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 entertaining as always! So enjoyable watching you interact with the animals

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Awesome 😎

[@ruthjohnson6369]

You are so good to your animals.ALL of your animals. Thanks for the loving touch to these beautiful creatures. You will be rewarded for all your effort.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Do unto others right…good way to live.

[@ehhsargaw8614]

Barred rocks are great egg layers. I use to keep 3 and they would pay everyday in the spring and summer, new fan

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes so far I’m impressed with the breed, nice big eggs too.

[@moda78z]

❤❤❤

[@doinacampean9132]

Yeap, I had the winter boots and the winter coat on, and the person in front of me was wearing shorts :) Here's March in Toronto for you :)

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha I’m one of those “shorts” guys 😆 All the snow has been melting like crazy up here. So nice to have 15c in early March.

[@VintageStylebyJo]

Fun vlog❤Thank you for sharing your farm family with us🤗Claw crue just hangin out🥰

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

❤️❤️❤️

[@morrigans_cottage]

I love all your animals and how you take care of them and give them such a wonderful home and life ❤ I’m hoping my little homestead will be half as kind and good to future animals as yours!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

You are so kind

[@cheryesido364]

So cute.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

🤗

[@lindam2090]

Looks like a few cats need to have a slumber party in the chicken coop.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes once spring hits I’ll do that.

[@MrSpinnerbug]

Chad, Chicks are looking good!😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah they’ll look even better by spring

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Bubbles looks like she has a form of dwarfism…. That may be why she is sooooo small….. she is so cute.l.l

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

The vet hasn’t said anything but Bubbles is like the size of a squirrel. Who knows, is dwarfism a thing with cats? And she’s so fluffy, when I pet her she’s super small. She’s the runt of Maggie’s litter.

[@eyesea123]

I wish I could reach through the screen and cuddle one of those babies! The close ups were so awesome! Thanks for sharing life on the farm with us.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha that would be cool eh

[@MrSpinnerbug]

Pigs looking great too!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

They’re so big already 🐽

[@colly1952]

Chad, I think the piglets like the marshmallow more than the pb. They ate those right out of your hand. Really cute!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

It took them about 40 minutes to finally come over and yes they seemed to love the marshmallows but they also were eating the PB right off my finger so it’s hard to tell.

[@MsKKGRIFFIN]

I’m fairly new to your channel! I’m loving it. Saying hello from North Carolina 🙂

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Well welcome to the farm, glad you’re enjoying so far 👌

[@albrightfs]

How cute!.. Never thought about mini marshmallows.. We use Cheerios and cut up apples. The peanut butter is a great idea also to teach them not to bite.. Piglets are definitely a different critter to train. How fun.. ! Thank you for sharing.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

A viewer suggested it and they loved it although it’s not something I’d give them everyday. Cheerios sounds like a good idea too.

[@lascauxpermaculturegardens9601]

Firstly, thank you for a lovely video. Pigs are so intelligent! In case you are not familiar, there is a mineral mix you can give the chickens to help them with their immune system. All my breeds do well just with oyster shells and feed but when I had the red chickens they would peck at each other and others( my theory from observation is that they have been bred to intensely produce a lot of eggs which takes a lot of energy from them. I gave them the anti pecking mineral mix and they were fine after. There is also a spray to deter them from pecking at each other)

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I’ll ask our feed store about this special mix, thnx 😊

[@Rogue1417]

I just noticed a telling side profile of Chunks. He's not far from Fozzy's size. But, he does seem to be more energetic. Is it possible to close up the chicken barn so Maggie & Dexter can spend a few nights to catch the rodents without them getting out ?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

We got Chunk along with Maggie & Dexter as kittens and he was the chubbiest of the 3…that’s how we named him Chunk. I could keep a cat or two in the chicken house as there’s no way to escape but it’s too cold for now. Definitely something I could do soon as we enjoy some warmer weather.

[@brendasas8440]

😂 THOSE PIGLETS ARE SO STINKING CUTE 🐷. KEEPING YOUR CHICKEN FEED HANGING UP OFF THE GROUND KEEPS SMALLER RODENT'S OUT. ALSO..WHY NOT LEAVE THE CATIO DOOR OPEN DURING THE DAY SO THE CATS CAN RETURN.. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ❤

[@jfarmer305]

Maybe to keep Bubbles from getting out?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yes that’s exactly it. Bubbles is not trusted enough yet to come back, I feel like I’ll lose her if she gets out so the doors gotta stay closed.

[@gessiopurina3364]

Good job

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

😀

[@soniabirthwright]

❤❤❤lots of love and ❤ fun 💖💖 thank you 💞 sharing ❤️

[@LindaKieliszewski-jd5qu]

I enjoy the cats and chickens the most, plus adorable Molly. Love to see REMY featured also. Could u leave 2 kitties in chicken center overnigh for rodent reduction at times?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

The snow is melting quickly I may be able to free range the chickens soon. I will have the cats do a sleepover in the chicken house but not till it’s a bit warmer.

[@lucinaramsey4705]

Just curious if you ever check your cats collars to see if they aren’t to tight as they grow? Some look very tight but it may just look that way too, cute kitties by the way!

[@suzannemartin1202]

So fun to watch you and the animals!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yay!!! 😁

[@lacybryant7670]

Big red looks old. You might need to replace them with new ones now... look it up.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

This summer our 3 original roos will be 4 years old, I figured they have a few more years yet, but definitely something to be aware of.

[@Kappucinokiss1]

I have 2 roosters I need to remove but I can bring myself to do it, my husband said he’d do the Initial step but I have to clean, which I don’t mind I just hatched them myself, how long can the hens wear the saddle will it not dig into their wings

[@michellejaggard9657]

Do you have just one or two of the Rhode Island Reds that are picking on the other hens and rooster?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I’m not exactly sure, I figure when I put Big Red back in there I’ll watch for a while trying to see if any hen or hens are going for his fresh feathers.

[@evelynrogers7145]

I had some hens that we’re trying to kill one of my roosters . Couldn’t understand why

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I wonder if that’s what’s happening here 🤔
