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.

yeah been there, done that. It seemed to have worked a few times but 95% doesn't work with our cats. Maybe it's cause I didn't train them to it when they were young but I think their freedom is more valuable to them than some snacks. She comes in on her own time as you can see lol.

Do you ever plan to let her out? She is such an adorable little girl. Makes me sad. She stays so cooped up. I know you’re keeping her safe, and I commend you for that I just think she would like to be outside with her siblings and family. Wish I could come over and let her know she is loved.

Good day, Chad. Once again, I loved the vlog. The rabbits love to chew. My experience with 🐇 a long time ago, is they chew, and it keeps their teeth filed down. As for the caterpillars, her in eastern Ontario, we call them tent worms,, thats what dad told me. As soon as i see a branch in the tree with them, i cut and burn it right away. Unfortunately, you have so many trees it is hard to control. OH ASIAN pears, i would love to grow them here. Well, enough of a book for you to read. Love to all your farm animals, the cats, Olive, your Darlin, and of course you. Till the next one.. Keep on keeping on

[@PJ-uv9fr]

Enjoyed the episode. I've never seen a gas powered post driver before - that was interesting. Hope those turkeys don't decide to take to the air once they get bored with their new yard...they might try to join your wild flock.

Dexter and Bubbles are awesome! Have you ever considered taking Bubbles out of the Catio and into your home? Being that Bubbles is already an "indoor cat".

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@JeffreyMello I did have Bubbles in our house for a few months, it was kind of a disaster. She basically hid the entire time and cryed. Plus she went washroom anywhere she wanted and on the sofas even though we had 3 litter boxes. I tried retraining her with Chewie in the barn and Chewie came around and was doing good so I let him free and was so close to putting him back in the cat house when he disappeared (assume a predator got him) so after that I took Bubbles home and then after a few months back to the cat house. I spent every evening sitting there trying to get her to come out. It's in one of the episodes some where but I ended up just bring her back with her family.

I do know that too many carbs, like bread products are not good for birds or ducks. They can get Angel Wings. Could that also happen with chickens, roosters and turkeys? Love your long videos. This is Friday, have a restful weekend. ❤👋🇨🇦👍

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@donnanorman340 I don’t think it is, it’s just when we have uneaten bread. Plus I never give the water fowl any bread cause it’s not good for ducks or geese. I’ve given some to the turkeys but they didn’t eat it. Angel wing can happen due all sorts of reasons like if you’re giving them a high sugar diet. Ours might get a bit of bread once a week at most. I do think it can happen to any of the birds and most times it corrects itself.

[@colly1952]

These bugs might be harmful to your trees. I would ask a tree specialist about it.

[@cozyhomemakingvibes]

In my experience, rabbits 🐇 do well with pine shavings. Makes it easier to sweep up. Timothy hay and pine chips make rabbits very happy and it looks nice. I change it every couple months or so. Nice in the compost.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

What about wood chips? Anything would be better than straw that stuff takes forever to compost.

[@cozyhomemakingvibes]

@@HiddenSpringFarm wood chips would be as good as pine shavings and if you mix it with Timothy hay…they eat that and it smells nice for them. They will chew on it too. Rabbits teeth never stop growing so they need to chew to keep the teeth in check. Avoid wood dust like fine sawdust. Bad for the respiratory system. The wood breaks down and heats up the animal waste in the compost. Gives it a nice balance.

[@susanlynn316]

Love your videos but you need to scrub the black water containers for the geese.

[@dawnth531]

Was Olive trying to keep the geese separate from the turkeys? lol. I hope those turkeys don't decide to jump over the fence and join up with the wild turkey family 😂😂 Won't it be a good idea to get another indoor kitten to keep Bubbles company during the day? Not to mention maybe time for a new doggie sibling for Olive.
