Thanks for the video. if the slope is 45 degrees, the area is 1.4 times the size from above, hope that provides the encouragement you need :)

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks for that.. I felt like I did 1.4 more times that that mapping app said 🤣🤣

[@mariegallagher4725]

It's obvious Pepper loves your Rooster and that's why she wanted to be close to him for the birth of her babies. It's so heart-warming how animals grow such attachments no matter what species they are. You folks are such loving and caring towards all your animals.🥰😍 Luke you are a machine, you both work so hard.❤❤

[@carolbulmer8253]

Thank you, Luke and Sarah, for this lovely video. I hope that Maggie gets better🙏

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Carol❤️

[@christines5430]

Wow, what a bitter sweet week for you guys. So much going on! I hope Maggie gets better soon. If anyone can pull her through this, you can 🙏 Glad to see that Peppa had a handful of healthy babies, and hope all will go well for her. Luke really is a human machine with all that land clearing! Aw3some job. Last, but certainly not least, Happy Birthday Molly!!🎉❤❤

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

@christines5430 thanks so much Christine ♥️♥️♥️

[@sueanderson4757]

Gosh Luke please have a day off you'll wear yourself out. Looking amazing though well done 👍

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

@sueanderson4757 don't worry he is having a few days off 😀 working on another project that is not so strenuous on the body

Thank you so much Lorrie ❤️❤️❤️

[@annadaurie2435]

I wanted to watch this video, but at the same time, I did not want to watch it. Was so scared who might not be feeling well. You two are so amazing to your animals. Our prayers are with you and Maggie. Molly Happy Birthday.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

🤣 so true

[@irislozinsky3960]

So sad for Maggie you are doing all you can. Great work Luke. Happy birthday Molly

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Iris ❤️❤️ from all of us

[@DreamofaHive]

Oh Wow! Such a hard time you are both having! So much hard work and stress. Luke is a machine!!!! Praying that Maggie recovers fully and quickly and that Pepper never experiences MMA. One thing for sure is that you are the best possible loving carer for her. I dread to think what happens to other pigs in her situation with owners who are not prepared to put in such hard work to ensure their recovery. Peppa's pigs ARE super cute and tiny :) There are also pluses .... Luke is doing a sterling job clearing all that new land AND creating the poshest temporary slum pig palace a pig and rooster couple could ask for to keep their babies warm and dry. Happy 6th Birthday dear Molly - what a good girl! xxx

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

😁 This really made me smile Thank you❤️ . I do believe Maggie is a trooper and as long as she keeps eating she will eventually improve and get better

[@berylcarrington9899]

So happy for Pepper, hope Maggie gets through this, her babies are so big.

[@mariabooth697]

You could take 4 of the babies away so Maggie still has some but not all so her body can recover but she'll still have some babies so she won't stress you guys are doing a great job x

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes , 3 babies will be leaving the farm this week

[@gina2150]

Bittersweet video this week - well done Pepper and wishing Maggie a speedy recovery. If anyone can get her through it, it’s you! Happy Birthday to Molly. A very busy week for you all.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you so much Gina!❤️❤️

[@sueanderson4757]

I'm so glad Luke is going to be doing a less strenuous project before he burns out all his energy. Also you both work so hard on your farm you do a great job. Happy birthday to molly and I hope you manage to get Maggie feeling better soon. Keep up your amazing work. 😊

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks so much Sue x x

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Well done peppa,on her super cute piglets.🥰 Do hope Maggie picks up, would it help Maggie if you moved half of her litter, if they are eating and drinking OK. Luke you are a work horse. Your land is so amazing. Sarah your animals want for nothing, you are amazing with them. 💚

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Aww thanks so much Sheila x x One week more and Maggies boys will go off to their new farm❤️

[@rhondadorey1723]

So very sorry to hear about Maggie. So hoping things turn around for the better soon. The second chapter with Peppa, Rupert and family is the sweetest. And it's all topped off with Luke the land clearing machine, and Sarah the amazing Ringmaster of them all. So much entertainment on a Sunday morning. 💗💕

Thanks for the confidence ♥️♥️♥️

[@kathydoran6176]

You have a lot on your plate, God Bless, and hopefully Maggies' piglets go to new homes soon, Pepa is so cute with her piglets and the babysitter is fabulous, Happy Birthday to Molly!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

A huge thank you from Molly she had a lovely day ❤️❤️

[@SolarLantern424]

I think Pepper doesn't want to be in the pregnant pig prison, she wants to lie in the sun, but you are right, it won't be so good when it rains. The ramshackle pig house was soooo much better as it lets the light in and it doesn't feel like a prison Yet it still has a cover to keep the rain off and even give a bit of shade. Pigs are very smart creatures and they know what the like. I notice she went away in the night from the makeshift shelter but came back to it as she liked it a bit and it was a good shelter when it's raining. I think the pigs want to make their own nest or at least part of it. Then they know they have been doing what they should have been doing for their babies.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

You are so right, they know exactly what they want and we let them tell us..most of the time . I have watched as Peppa adds some branches and bushes into the new ramshackle pighouse just to give it her own little touch just like Maggie did to the piggie palace😁

[@user-dw7ck9gk4k]

Sarah you are just so caring and loving with your animals….wonderful to watch.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you ❤️❤️They are my world

[@dweamy1]

Oh poor Maggie, I pray that she recovers! Sarah you are doing a grand job supporting her. Luke you are such a machine, and you're getting such a great workout whilst clearing the land, you'll be so so fit..lol.. Happy Birthday to Molly!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks so much ❤️❤️

[@Esther.B7520]

Thank you so much Ricardo❤️

[@Chestnut_tree]

Dear Luke and Sara, you are both such hard workers, and so caring! I was amazed to know that pigs also get depression! I am a bit behind watching other episodes! I hope by the time I watch future videos Maggie has recovered!

[@cathybrewer8958]

This was super stressful to watch but satisfying to know and hope things go better for Maggy. That rooster is something else. You can tell he really thinks those are his babies. I admire you and Luke for your caring for those animals. I was afraid something had happened to one of the piglets. Luke you are a working machine clearing all that land. It looks so good too. That was a smart idea to use those sticks to help support your plants. Had not thought about using them in that way. Great work you two. Take care and will see in the next video.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Happy birthday 6 th Molly!❤

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Molly says THANK YOU ❤️❤️

[@Neilhuny]

I'm very impressed with Luke's very hard work! 5 days of hard manual graft for long hours is never easy. I think I would consider "removing" a piglet every couple of days for Maggie's sake - three less will help a lot. I'm sure you have looked in to methods of doing so ethically. And keep a sharp eye on the other litter ...

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Totally agree! Thanks Neil x x

[@trupstrubin]

Happyhappyhappppppppy birthday and 100 more years dear beautiful Molllly ❤️ and I hope Maggie is gonna be on her feet in no time!!!! Good job guys! You always make me smile 🙂🐽🌻❤️🎈

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you so much!!❤️❤️

[@viviennebradshaw5465]

Another boil egg trick. Place eggs in pot with warm water, bring to boil for minute, take pot with eggs still on water off stove, put lid on and allow to cool in pot. Shells peel off easy.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Awesome thanks Vivienne❤️

[@Neilhuny]

Ooh, OK - egg peeling tips and tricks! Here's my method: boil egg to required softness, take pan off the heat and tip out all hot water but keep the eggs in the saucepan. Immediately douche them in fast running cold water for 30 seconds. That will a) cool the shells right down for easy handling, and b) separate the shell from the egg inside making peeling extremely easy. Nick's trick allows the air at the blunt end of the egg (there is *always* a small pocket of air in an egg) to expand and escape through the crack without further cracking of the shell. It allows the pressure to escape. That means you can put your eggs in to already boiling water without the shells immediately cracking and leaking egg white - that near ruins a boiled egg in my opinion. Give it 3 mins for a perfect egg ... You can buy a gadget that pierces a perfect pinhole into the end of the egg, if you really want to. Some people put a teaspoonful of vinegar in the water which quickly solidifies the egg white should it leak.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

@@Neilhuny that is a great tipThanks Neil

Hi, congratulations on your work. Amazing effort. I live in Australia. I notice strong winds on the Ridge line there. .. in my country, we would clear a 30 metre boundary line, then leave natural bush to hold the soil in heavy rain, and also be a wind break. I did notice how pretty your natives are. Just a thought. Lorraine Australia
