The recent bad weather has ruined part of our croft, so we have to take action to maintain a safe space for our chickens, and ensure Sherlock, the Eagle Owl, is able to eat and drink in the freezing conditions.

Now I'm confident you know I think you're both great guys. But in this video I have confirmed that Sean is truly a good man. His obvious delight and care in tending to the chickens. Only a good man who cares about the feelings of other beings would be so careful. It was a delight to watch. The question I have is are you doing anything with the trains? I'm working online albeit slowly. But I have my space and next week I get started on my bench work. It's only taking me all summer and fall to get my space ready. Of course like you I'm in a very cold climate. But my train room is toasty and warm. In any case my very best thoughts and wishes for the season. For both of you and the doggies and the chickens and the owls and the bees and any other critter you've decided to take to your bosom. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone but you fellas have developed such a menagerie

Despite living in Aberdeenshire and Highlands all my life the one animal I have never seen with my own eyes is the Pine Martin. So many people I have spoken to, have them eating nuts out of bird feeders in their back gardens. Admittedly we do get blasé about seeing red deer, roe deer etc as we see them all the time.

Another top vid lads, the lichen on the trees near you is so thick, the air must be good quality. Top tip, we put gutters on our hen house last year to a water butt. Free rainwater for crops and left the hen run so much dryer most importantly.

Pedant here: If your main meal of the day is at night it's dinner, so during the day you have breakfast, lunch, dinner and maybe supper. If you have your main meal during the day, you then have breakfast, dinner, tea and maybe supper. However if you are in Scotland you may have breakfast, lunch, high tea and supper. If your posh and a Southerner, you have breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and maybe supper (and a heart attack!) However I stand to be corrected!

I bought our Cats an electric Chicken waterer that hold 3 gallons of water, keeps it lukewarm and never freezes! Looks exactly like the one Sean had but has a heated base! My neighbor bought one for her chickens and loves it too! Funny I first saw one on a VLOG from FRANCE, LOL! We live in the USA! Been a game changer when we go to Hawaii in the winter!

Tea is a hot drink we have 😂😂😂😂 yeah ok I am from the south but we love our northern mates and family and spend a lot of time in Scotland, but don’t worry I am not the stalker type 🤣.

Had a thought on how to keep the food warm. a pair of motorbikers heated gloves under a slatted wooden tray. Just 12 v battery and the glove plugged in put the food on top of the tray and glove when its switched on should keep it warm enough for an hour or more. Recharge the battery after each use.

Hand warmers for keeping the food warm? Yo9u can get USB ones or, I think, ones you can reheat. I have a solar powered trail cam like those which takes 4 AAs and has its own built in battery that the solar cell charges. The solar actually seems to work even in winter though it is early days for me.

Hey guys... straw as bedding works wonders. It keeps their feet warm and then when it is soiled, becomes great material for the compost pile. Secondly, you can get a really inexpensive small solar panel that would probably have enough juice to power a small heater for the water. Great video as always, thanks from Nanton Alberta Canada!

Along with you conversation about the milinium, year 2000, in school I worked out I'd be 36, and thought that so so old, as it happened I had my daughter then and she's just turned 23. Wildlife, I can't wait to see what you catch, basically what's in your back yard. We get the occasional Sparrowhawk after our avery birds or the sparrows on the feeders, sometimes a heron sits on the fence eyeing up our pond, it's such a big bird sitting there, beautiful to see up close, but it's shoo'd away as I want to keep the fish in my pond. Stay warm and well fellas and I look forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing your little bit of paradise xx😊

We used to live out in the sticks in the new forest, growing anything is a challenge with Dear, rabbits and bagers thinking it's a restaurant 😁. I'm a southerner and I've always said breakfast, lunch and tea, unless I'm going out in the evening to eat then thats dinner.

Lunch and Supper rule! All others drool.😁 An old friend of mine had a coop on soggy ground and he mostly solved the problem by using Tan bark [ 2inch chunks of chopped up tree bark] to coat the boggy bits.

It would be great to get some wild life footage of a live haggis, very rare to see them in the wild. They are rare because it is very hard to find tatties and Neeps, their food in the wild. May be leave a drop of whiskey out, they like that too. They also taste better than battery haggis. Happy hunting.

They have those chemical heat pads you squeeze to activate (don't you start!) We call them hot hands in theU.S. You coud put them down and put the /sherlock food on top. They keep warm for several hours.

Try hot water bottles or heating pads maybe wrapped in tea towels or similar. That would keep Sherlock's food warm. Good luck

We do dinner at the noon hour. We do supper at your tea time. That true southerners do here in the states. When you work out of the home you pick up lunch.
