What did Rebekah Find in the Pasture? Come with us on a walk around the homestead.

[@lorimecikalski3079]

I love how Rebekah loves her animals. She is such a kind and gentle soul. She was meant to live her best life as a farmer.

[@Tonetwisters]

And how could they (and everybody else!) not love HER!?

[@roblynch7234]

Don’t know about anyone else, but I love when y’all do this kind of video. It really does showcase the love between you both and the peaceful haven you have created. The chattering of the turkeys just adds to it. Just beautiful…just beautiful. God bless you both.

[@mattpeacock5208]

When you have to limb up that bald cypress, it actually makes workable firewood. Plus full grown they make excellent bird and bat nesting!

[@RolandLetendre]

Watching your videos, make me wish I was back on the farm. Life was so much simpler back then.

[@PeterLee-zn3jl]

Your care for your farm is wholesome , and husbanding the assets , improving the welfare of your animals is good housekeeping and good for all.... nice small farm , with much to see and enjoy...thanx

[@hankfacer7098]

A great relaxing stroll around the farm

[@jimmason5738]

I'm enjoying the walk this morning. Especially since y'all are doing the walking and I'm sipping coffee.😊♥

[@vinnypinatelli221]

I was thinking the same thing lol!

[@markgeorge9725]

Beautiful piece of land you have there, Evan and Rebekah

[@elainedegoede6276]

Thank was nice to more of the dogs and the property again. I enjoyed the walk😉💕🙏

[@morrismclean3584]

There have been two tools I think you should invest in to make some jobs easier. Sadly I made previous comments on older videos and my comments may have been buried. The first one came to mind when the down-pipe got damaged with the tractor. From the lessons taught to me by my Father, was to use the head of a "Crow Bar"(Australian term). They are invaluable in setting fence posts as well. The chisel end can be used for digging in stony ground as well as a crow-bar. The other tool is called a "mattock" in, Australia. It is so useful for digging in hard ground. It has a narrow, heavy duty, hoe like, blade on one side. The other side, is more pick-axe, like, and at 90deg to the blade side. I thought of this when yo were sinking the water diverter, cover, deeper. Just for jobs too inconvenient to do with the tractor. Make certain you go for known quality in such equipment.

[@minutemanmac]

14hrs is a good time and works well for our birds. I have a smart bulb that turns on at dawn and then turns off 14hrs later. Gave us a sgnificant increase in winter egg production.

[@jakedunwell8264]

Thank you Evan and Rebekah for another awesome video. I always look forward to seeing your posts and progress that you are achieving.

[@charlenepartlow7880]

Hey there friends ! So good to take a walk with you....all interresting sights to see and hear about. Every day with you is a great day ! I love both of your smiles and the passion you share for your farm AND for each other....you are really good loving people and it makes my heart happy to spend time with you. Rebekah is such a gentle soul . My husband and I appreciate all of your videos. There is such a vast selection of topics that you share with us. Thank you for your kind commitment to your vlogs to share your life on the farm . We've been with you for several years ...lving every moment. God bless you and may He give you special blessings in your humane treatment and care for all his creatures on your farm. See you soon ! 😊

[@csnanny1882]

I enjoyed this video, love to see the farm , I have been with you guys since you bought the farm. God bless you and stay well.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

You two had a great work out this morning. Thanks for sharing with us, really enjoyed the scouting of the fields for eggs. Glad you got the garden weeded and getting ready for planting again. Stay safe and keep up the good work around there. Really enjoy your videos and all the things you're doing around there. Fred.

[@theresagreen3253]

Thank you for taking us along on your walk. Totally enjoyed your walk, I just love nature and seeing all your animals💜💜

[@richardkeeton3057]

Thanks for the walk around. Love how Brabekka

[@sherry2836]

I really enjoyed this walkabout with my morning coffee. Such a beautiful homestead!

[@JamesCouch777]

Surprisingly, our chickens are laying like crazy right now. Very unusual for the middle of winter. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@treksevestro]

I notice you have duck eggs in the water and I suggest you invest $10 and buy a telescopic golf ball retriever to pick them out. Love your videos as everything is so natural, and your advice is so beneficial for new young homesteaders.

[@verajamieson8020]

Lovely just too see ye chilling n enjoying your property.👏👏🍀🇨🇮🐕🐕

[@harveystephens6115]

Bummer turkey hen wouldn’t sit on eggs and raise some little ones. Enjoyed Maybe time for drain pipe on high side of barn to divert water. Enjoyed

[@coyotiess]

See yall! we will be in Flora for a week!

[@karenspeer7378]

Hi Guys 🙋‍♀️ God Bless and have a Great Week!! ❤🌹

[@teenagefarmer]

Very nice walk. The garden looks a lot better. I haven't done anything with our garden yet LoL. Thanks for sharing have a good day

[@margaretbedwell3211]

That was a nice walk around the property. The dogs love the turkey eggs for sure. Thanks for sharing this beautiful land, have a Blessed day.

[@cjandjoannegodkin3787]

I love seeing your farm, and the progress you have done. Thank you so much for your videos. God Bless you all.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Great video. I enjoy your videos especially with Rebekah and how you guys take care of your animals. Thank you.

[@chris3m98]

Nice video, every farm has a metal dump. Remember if you find an old glass bottle dump they are worth money to collectors.

[@clintabbott5327]

That was very enjoyable, thank you 🙏

[@colleenmccowan5083]

Great job! I believe sometimes a nice stroll around the property is just what the soul needs. Thanks for taking us along!

[@mar1video]

Garden looks great ❗️

[@skitzochik]

Evan ya'll may wanna think about puttin a french drain along that barn and run it right down to your pond and put a gutter downspout if you dont have one yet. but at least give that storm water another place to go cuz those animals hoofs/feet etc will start to rot & abscess. great video, glad your turkey was ok.

[@nedricksmith8288]

I thought of the same thing. If Evan can do that it would really help keep the inside and the back of the barn dry. I put one on my property where it stayed wet years ago and it never wet there anymore.

[@ronatwell5379]

You are on the right track with the lights on a timer. I have put lights on a timer in early winter and seen egg production jump from almost zero to almost 100% in 2 wks. That was with younger birds. The only reason I keep hens for a 3rd season is if I have special ones for breeding. However, you've missed the boat if you have chickens older than 2 yrs. They are just pets at that point. I am fortunate in having a market (Latinos) for my older birds. If you you are serious about egg production, you need one of the hybrid breeds or white leghorns. If you don't really want eggs, don't worry. Just enjoy the birds you have. Isn't that what it's about anyway?

[@waynekomprood7093]

The duck weed will cover your whole pond again unless you spray it, I use a product called "Reward" it works very good on the duck weed and other weeds in your pond. Since you don't have much duck weed now, I would spray it as soon as you see it growing again. You should be able to get it at any pond store/shop.

[@brentkreinop489]

Mom ended up with a rescue golden retriever that had been neglected badly for about two years or so where they basically threw food at him but had very little actual interaction. Her friend rescued the dog when the owners moved away and left him chained up in the back yard, but "Buddy" as we ended up naming him didn't get along well with her friend's other dogs. Buddy ended up being so happy to have people pay attention to him that he'd run across the yard and jump at Mom at a dead run. Buddy weighed approximately 150lbs and would actually knock Mom off her feet quite badly. When I saw this, and he tried the same with me, he seemed very confused when I caught him and didn't fall down :) There are very few benefits to being as heavy as I was, but being difficult to knock down is indeed one :) Buddy ended up living with them for another almost fifteen years but died due to a number of medical issues including inoperable hip cancer a couple of years ago now. After they'd had him for a month or so, and got used to being around people who paid attention to him, the only thing he'd directly attack were skunks and tomatoes :) A stray cat somebody threw out ended up sleeping curled up in the fur on his back most of a year.

[@yas4435]

So nice. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your property. Thank you

[@johngastineau653]

It's a enjoyment a great idea to walk/survey your property, you never know what is around and damaging the land. Have you started your seedlings?

[@stephensaasen8589]

Yes sir, Hillbilly erosion control! It's amazing sometimes how things can become such a mess. Waaay back in November 1974, my parents bought an old Dairy farm homestead in Western Washington. The farm had been in that family for over half a century and long story short, the surviving family that owned it got into a taxation disagreement and it went delinquent. The 200 acres were parceled out and dad bought the homestead with 30 acres total land for the price of the back taxes. The barns were in a little better condition than you have but the house had to be demolished as the former owners basically used it as a dog kennel. I was just 3 months shy of turning 3yrs old when we moved there and I barely remember that house but it smelled of dog - I remember that! Anyhow, much like your farm, dad spent alot of time removing some old buildings, painting, and cleaning up alot of scattered debris and piled junk. Thankfully, most of it wasn't in the ground like you have but I do still remember after all that cleaning over the years, an old decrepit manure spreader that looked 100 years old still setting in a monstrous patch of stinging nettles when we moved away from there in 1983. Maybe that's why I like your channel so much, because it reminds me of what our family did to clean up that farm so many years ago.

[@d.j.robinson9424]

Always nice to do a walk around the property. 👍👍💛

[@floydblack3038]

That brown field u could just disk it some then leave it. The hay will grow back. We did that some. Also spread ur old hay on it. That will reseed it.

[@DanKlein_1]

What a great, high protein meal for the dogs. Good idea. I like your farm clean up videos. showing the other junk pile reminded me of those. funny how that generation of farmer did that. our farm had that too when we bought it 25 yrs ago. took a lot of loads to the dump and a lot of fires. Like you... we had multiple old dryers or washers but even worse was the empty food cans and jars. after the big stuff was gone we hired a track hoe to come in, dig a huge hole and scrape up all the remnants (cans, glass, metal) and bury it.

[@williamgawel8467]

It's spring everything is coming alive same as here in Eugene Oregon

[@joerodrigues3816]

Hope you’re all doing well my friend x God bless you and your family

[@tedtimmis8135]

For your pond, a great waterside tree which bears excellent fruit is paw paw.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

Have a nice weekend!

[@nedricksmith8288]

I love watching you both enjoying your farm life. It looks so relaxing. I realize you have some hard work you do also. But any videos you can send will be great. I know can’t send long videos because of batteries dying. But it’s nice to just sit and watch whatever you two are doing in your videos. I have learned a lot watching you both. Hope everything goes your way. Have a nice weekend.

[@joannak4640]

I really enjoyed this video...thank you ❤️ I had so many thoughts on comments/praises I wanted to make but by the time it was over, I forgot them 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Did you know you can bake this egg shells on a very low heat and crush them and feed them back to the chickens and turkeys? Good source of calcium. Loved seeing Rebekah!! Enjoy your weekend

[@CountryViewAcres]

Yes, we have done that before.

[@brucejgallettajr1014]

You need to dig a French drain in the inner wall of your outdoor barn with landscaping fabric over stone then fill with dirt

[@seangerberding1255]

I understand your pain when it comes to junk. We bought a farm and I couldn’t believe all the junk that accumulated over the years. I counted 12 vehicles , 2 combines, 3 tractors, and countless refrigerators and washers. Lol. Needless to say it’s taken us years to clean up and still working at it.

[@KansasCowBoy]

Knowing you both have jobs, it's nice to see you home together relaxing. I was wondering if you could incubate some of those Duck / Turkey eggs ?? .. You can get a lot more chicken eggs if you bring in some leghorn chickens. The meat is OK but not the greatest but they are heavy egg producers and their eggs are very good.

[@quebot1111]

I felt like I was right there with you walking the property and really enjoyed it

[@drk218]

Hey guys. The other day I was watching a video about pond care, and the guy said he puts sterile grass carp in his ponds to take care of the duck weed. You might want to do some research on that and see what you think. Great video as always! Loved the walk around the property. 🙂

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Enjoyed the tour❤

[@rossholmes178]

Greetings from Australia folks...always interesting to look around unfamiliar farms...Evan, can't wait to see the vid of your double pike with a half twist off the diving board (10:50) when the weather warms up a touch! 😂🤸🤿

[@jeremycraddock4108]

You should go over certain areas (old homestead site) with a metal detector and see what you can find. In old outhouse holes people have found amazing things cause they would throw everything in before they filled them in (dishes, old utensils etc.)

[@carolmackenzie2283]

Thank you guys, that was lovely walking the property

[@joshbutterfass5251]

In the spring or summer months you should look into putting drainage tile around your barn that might help with the water issue inside or outside of the barn area

[@lawrencelipon8673]

👍👍👍👍👍👌great video thanks for the walk around your beautiful property!!! So much improved from the way it was, always interesting great team!!!

[@joycemetheny8338]

I luv yalls life !!!!!!

[@FunwithBooboo]

Thanks for sharing. It's a lot of work but you two are doing a terrific job 👏 😃

[@alanvaleandthelazyfarmer1930]

It looks like the retaining wall in the barn has a blocked drainage system or none at all. I wonder if you could poke around below ground outside both sides and see if there is a blocked drainage system and clean it out or failing that, drill a large hole below floor level and get some slotted pipe in as far as possible. PVC with a line of holes or slots in the bottom will do it. Failing that, drill out the perp joints. The water pressure can actually damage the wall or push it over.

[@jamesazahn6842]

Just a suggestion, regarding your water problem within your barn shelter. Consider using a masonry drill bit and drill a weeping drain hole to the outside of the wall. That's if the water rest against the inside wall.

[@brucejgallettajr1014]

Try to find and older manure spreader a put out on hay fields to produce a better crop in the future keeping your field producing a better yield

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Put a French Drain wrapping around the entire front of your barn. That will drain any water away from the barn.

[@Falney]

after the ground thaws at the end of spring, I would seriously consider adding "French drains around the barn" to the list of jobs to do before you retire, if not this year.

[@brendapurnell8475]

I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking us along. You are really hard workers. The farm is beautiful. From KY.

[@ithacacomments4811]

There could be a free flowing spring under the barn floor.

[@vinnypinatelli221]

Ya'll are amazing! such a great video and fun to watch!!!

[@Buedel57]

My parents raised chickens for eggs in Indiana and they Plymouth Rock chicken they produce brown eggs sometimes green sometimes blue they have about 20 chickens and they have so many eggs they sell them at the church for $4 a dozen Hope this helps you guys

[@AZJH8374]

Crack your eggs on the counter, not the edge of the pots, bowls, or pans. BTW guaranteed NO shells. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ it's 31° here this am. BURR! Love the channel.

[@marydanen5220]

God bless💕

[@gillysguns9244]

Try spraying the duckweed with Flumiguard. One pound would be enough to cover the top water on your pond and you won't have to mess with duckweed all summer. I spray it on in April just as the dw starts growing again. If it starts causing a problem in late summer I will spray again, but usually that doesn't happen.

[@billb2079]

Great Video

[@jeffreydye181]

Beautiful peaceful farm!!

[@carolmauck5159]

loved the walk through

[@SFCRambo60]

I cook both my duck and turkey eggs, they are okay but mostly for baking.

[@barbscott4341]

You need Road Island Red chickens for great egg production.

[@jamesharless5357]

Great video guys, nice basket of eggs. Beautiful farm!👍🏻

[@mitchellgourley4642]

Yeah, I feed my dogs eggs once a while too but I feed them raw eggs. You guys are nice you cook them. Great video have a good one.

[@abbiebarnes2200]

She needs to watch Junod acres and get some of those cute little highland cattle..they are so cute! And she could have some pets!

[@margaretpervier8357]

Y’all have a really nice place. Thanks for sharing ❤😊

[@jimlong527]

Time for some French drains outside the barn.

[@rich-mp6dm]

I was thinking you found her diamond 💎.

[@cathiwim]

May be time to invest in footer drains for the barn? Good call on getting out of goats. Unless you are doing breeding, meat or dairy products, they are more trouble than they are worth. We had Boers and dairy crosses. Our sycamore is over 60 ft tall! Do you want a tree that big on your bank?

[@kayschmitz8019]

Great time with you both!!

[@CarbineAssassin4]

Bring dirt in and raise the ground level to make the water run off

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I understand what your saying about the chicken eggs, we just recently started getting eggs. We don't light the coupe, but we do have about half that's older too. My wife and I started talking about getting new chicks and some American Pekin ducklings. I think your place looks nice, even with some of the stuff in the ditches. You have some real cute dogs, love to have those types, mine died early last year. Loved the video, thanks for the walk. Have a fantastic weekend!😀

[@bay9876]

Frozen ground gives easy access to pulling out all that scrap metal to sell and cleaning up the fence line. The goats will be gone with just ducks and chickens left. The farm is in the state of hibernation.

[@dwightl5863]

Good luck pulling that metal out of frozen ground.

[@Mopar-Pioneer]

Hi guys, thoughouly enjoy your channel ! I am an expat cannuck in australia. I honestly think it would be to your advantage to check out australop chickens for your enmdeavours ! Keep up the good work . Alex

[@Ticky66MN]

Sure looks like a wonderful day together.

[@mechrandy]

We have a neighbor who sells chicken eggs to a few neighbors, and she gave me a dozen of duck eggs to try, and I like them better or as good as chicken eggs, so she keeps the duck eggs for me because the other neighbors won't try them.

[@dalewallace3812]

Looks like a year round Easter egg hunt. That sounds like the load of scrap I hauled to the scrap yard yesterday a load of appliances and fencing

[@elizabethblackwell3757]

Yes scramble them back to them. I boil mine and then crush and give them to my ducks too.

[@jamessteffens8337]

Can’t hatch those turkey eggs? Enjoyed you walk Jim80

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Pulling the W&D, wire spools, and hot water tank out of brush would make a good video while removing the eyesores. Just a thought ...

[@teenagefarmer]

You found a gold mine there with those eggs Rebecca 😆😆. Eggs are so expensive these days. I'm glad we don't have to buy any.

[@darrylhayes9066]

Even you should put the eggs in blender with shell its a lot more protein for the dogs

[@juliannedispain1637]

Wow so many turkey eggs. Your farm looks nice.

[@CountryViewAcres]

22 turkey eggs

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

You doing good Time for the bad part drainage.
