I HAD alpha gal. My allergist said that after being bitten by a tick a few years ago I had tested positive for that frustrating illness. I was tested again this past Spring and apparently I no longer test positive for it. I have tested my new found freedom and have had no problems. PRAISE GOD! My doctor says I'm in remission. He speculated that he tick may no have been attached for a long period of time and with my total absence of mammal products may have helped my body heal itself. I ate poultry and fish and a ton of veggies. Good luck in your journey. I pray you find remission as well.

[@tamarasmith3624]

Instead of moving the birds every morning, you can train them to go inside the house at night and close the sliding door to keep them inside and safe. It should be warm enough at night that they shouldn't need the heat lamp.

[@beverlykrause7015]

Hi Kyle and Shanon. Missed you guys last few days I've been sick and improving. I missed Spruce's cry for his Mommy and Daddy.

[@veronicadutton4313]

Just need wire on the bottom.

[@lorenrobertson8039]

Great minds think alike! I was going to suggest the same thing. and they can move the whole thing while they are locked in so they have a clean area daily.

[@barbarashotts5598]

If you move the birds coop to a new spot every couple days they will have more to eat and they will help fertilize the grass.❤❤❤

[@christiantinker]

move them everyday for best health, fertilization and to stop the smell

[@kimberlyhughes5475]

Shanon, call a local coffee shop and ask them to save their coffee grounds for you. They don't need to be decaffeinated, as you mentioned. Jason at Cog Hill uses coffee grounds in their coops. You could ask where he gets them. Coffee grounds are great for your compost, too...adds nitrogen, is considered "green".

[@leonandvirginiaclark9506]

Brandon lost a chicken to a hawk today in broad daylight. Bless his heart, I thought he was going to cry. So, take all precautions.

Go to Starbucks and ask for the used coffee, spread it out on a tarp and let it dry in the sun. It’s a fantastic coop litter option and I’m very blessed to have a daughter who works at SB and brings me boxes of spent grounds!

You can set the bird feeders up on a brick or something, because the poults and keets are taller. That will keep the wood shavings out of the feeder. It's just easier on you, and less feed waste. I am proud of how well you are doing with the birds. I love guineas!

[@christiantinker]

hang the water and feeder from above, keeping then off the ground, will keep them clean

[@gholmes2593]

Put your water and feed on a brick. It raises them out of the bedding.

[@deebeltz1739]

If your goats or dogs get into poison ivy remember not to pet them afterwards since it transfers to you. Your dad reminded Matt of this when the dogs were in the poison ivy.

[@SA-ke4zl]

[@tammyfales7699]

Thank God that you were able to eat the pizza with great results! Spruce says "c'mon dad I'm ready to ride" lol Love you all & God Bless! ♥

[@samanthaspringman5527]

So great to see Spruce not being bothered by the banding. He's grown so much. I hope Herc gets over his fence experience soon. Used coffee grounds are great for composting and burning them in an outside fire helps repel mosquitoes.

[@amandacrawford4748]

Spruce is ready to cut that bottle out !!! He’s a big boy and is ready to be cut off from the nipple !!!! He’s super excited now, u can see it in his face.

[@suzyherron4827]

Starbucks usually gives away bags of grounds. I use them in my compost.

[@karenmiller2642]

I wasn't going to comment, but after the short term memory loss statement, I couldn't pass up sharing what I put on Grandpas video earlier. My family thinks I have lost my mind. Opossums and raccoons kept getting my chickens and ducks. I am ordering electric fence. But in the meantime, I put a huge dog kennel in my spare bedroom, and all I have to do is open the door and say bedtime. And in the morning, it's a parade straight to the front door. That includes spoiled turkey. He's following the crowd.

[@1Pegasus21445]

Kyle i love how you talk for Spruce. Too funny

[@theresad6990]

The birds all look to be fully feathered now so they should be fine without heat. You could leave them in the coop now. Good luck with the Alpha gal. It's nothing to take lightly. A friend of mine has it and has to be super careful about what she eats because she can go into anaphylactic shock.

[@robinsnyder3881]

If you get a collar for Herc, get one that beeps too. I use one for my dogs and they get a beep first and if they don't respond then a shock. After a few shocks, then a beep works every time. Also if you make a hardware cloth covered platform for the food and water it will keep the water and food clean longer.

[@Lisa-px3vi]

Gotta ask you Shanon did you ever think you could love a goat as much as Spruce? He is so sweet.

[@beverlycampbell2268]

Remember the Brad Paisley song "I want to check you for ticks". Hopefully Kyle gets past the tick sickness. As I said I have only seen 1 on our dog but we didn't bring them in the woods. We had a 4 acre yard

[@marcamp5450]

They can stay out now. They’ll go up the ramp and huddle for warmth. They have their feathers.

[@litatrail2049]

Kyle I’m glad you are feeling better!😊😊😊😊

[@billisherenc]

Spruce is getting so big, not a little boy anymore! You know you guys have happy goats when they start wagging their tails, your animals are well-loved. I love my guineas, have had them for 3 years, and knock on wood, no tick issues since we got them, the noise outways no ticks!

[@lindakemp2742]

So glad that your health in an upward slop

[@valeaton4538]

Chicken , bird, poo is one of best compost for gardens. But it has to be a year old.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

About the coffee grounds, a lot of the coffee places like Starbucks or whoever is nearest y'all, will give the spent coffee grounds if you provide them buckets with you name on them. Some homesteaders get them for their gardens or compost piles. You might check on that.

[@michelep1130]

I have heard that also guys.

[@martharock8377]

Trimming the low branches on the trees and keeping the underbrush mowed down will go a long way towards mitigating the tick pressure. You don't have nearly enough goats and guineas to handle the job. Just clean the rest of the property like you did the front and you should be fairly safe. Best of luck! Ticks suck.

[@debbieprice7133]

I seen a chicken coop like yours and they put wheels on one end that they can move and lock into place and a handle on the other end, and makes the coop portable to move around your area, just drop the wheels when they have the area they want the chickens to feed on. I think Walker Farm Family has one. just FYI. Hugs

[@pixiematlis2790]

Lumnah acres has had many variations of chicken mobiles! Al might have plans to build them with pallets!

[@kristinaearly3723]

Now that the birds are a little bigger, you might try elevating their water and food up on a board or brick. It will keep the shaving out.

[@terrilepine9065]

So great to see Spruce not being bothered by the banding. i love the way you and Shannon work together.

[@ernestines5609]

When I was researching chicken coops, I read that a perch should not be square. Their little chicken feet grip a round perch best.

[@southernbelle3995]

If Spruce gets as big as his daddy, you will have a guard goat. He can run free and keep small predators at bay. I love how he wags that tail when you all talk to him. It's too cute. The sounds the little birds make now are awesome. I love the chirps. They are getting used to you. If you can, move your bird cage around in the yard. It will give them fresh grass and fertilize the grass. Glad you are feeling better, Kyle.

[@shannonlee745]

Hi Guys....Starbucks and other coffee shops will collect the spent grounds and give them to you if you ask them. My local shop does this for me for my garden. You just have to stop by and pick them up every week or so. You may have to provide a bucket for them to use. Good luck.

[@b.b.grenade1407]

[@barbarasturges8020]

I can remember my grandfather had a lot of guineas and when we would drive down the path they would be making so much noise and they would be coming out of the trees. With the noise they make ,they make a good alarms. Love spruce.

The birds appear to be growing daily, noticabley. Oh poor Herc. He looks 'shocked'. I just want to cuddle Spruce. He is so darned cute. 💞

[@pixiematlis2790]

I think you guys should make a kids video of Spruce . Kyle could do Spruce's voice. Shannon could play the female goats. The only problem would be having to compile all of the Spruce clips to tell a cohesive story!!

[@rhondag8128]

That would be awesome, I would definitely enjoy it.

[@gailclaypool9482]

My vet recommended the same probiotic for my dog. I found that Amazon is the cheapest for the probiotic. The animals are doing so good. I love Spruce is going to be like his dad a very big boy.

[@phyllisbrostrom7348]

Have you considered putting up pegboard on some of the sheds walls? It really helps in keeping things organized.

[@melindadobson109]

Oh my goodness! I think Spruce is turning into Bruce-Herc! Or a Batman- Lola!!!

[@coreyr8096]

Coarse sand/river pebble is the easiest to keep clean for chickens. You can use a "sand flea" shovel, which is like a giant cat litter scoop. The coffee grounds are more like a deoderizer than a bedding.

[@nikkicheshier1791]

Pegboard workbench and some shelves when you get the brooder out will help in your shop it’s really nice I love it❤things just take time y’all will get it how you want hang in there.

I'm so very happy to hear that you can have dairy, Kyle, I truly am because it was hard enough to give up red meat and I'm just like you in that I eat a lot of dairy too and that would be just as difficult for me as well. I'm so impressed with your wonderful positive attitude about this whole situation! God is so good and it really shows that you (both) rely on God in your lives. It warms my heart. Blessings to you both and as always, all of the animals too! 💜❤❌⭕

Actually, Shanon. I was a Manager at a McDonald’s in NC - you CAN go to a local (small town) McDonald’s and ask for it. We had a worm farmer that we would give the spent grounds to! It’s worth a try!!!

For a while she looked so worn out and exhausted and had poor color. It was scary. I have laying hens in my back yard. They eat nasty ticks as well.
