Our buff is also the biggest and most friendly. She loves being held and actually falls asleep in your arms. Love seeing the girls growing up!
Anybody else think there should be a koi cam post once a month?
Koi pond live stream lol
Koi cams are pure entertainment!;)
+1 yes please!!
I would have a hard time not spending all day in the coop. They’re so cute!
But theeir shit stinks
You should add water wheel plants.
There underwater plants that eat mosquitoes and are very sensitive to pollution.
You can use them to see if your fish are in fresh none polluted water and you'll have less mosquitoes too.
There also beautiful plants too.
I'll check them out!
Been viewing aquascapes channel for years, Kevin, he does some amazing work. great video
Obsessed w/ their work!
Those underwater shots are great!!
Gosh I love koi ponds so much. Really beautiful and calming to be around. The homestead just keeps getting better and better :)
This video made my DAY! Happy to get pond and chicken update.
so great to get an update on the chicken coop ... just learned about quails and their advantages ... great to know that there's options
Hey Kev! Love the pond and the new coop! Just wanted to share some advice I was told once about picking up your chickies in case it helps you; it may help them feel more comfortable if you hold their feet when you pick them up. I don’t remember all of what I was told as I was very young, but I do remember being told that chickens don’t always like their feet not being on solid ground, so it helps to hold their feet. Just thought of sharing that with you! The girls do look beautiful and I can’t wait to see them all grown up!
I can imagen how peaceful it is to watch the Koi swim with a morning coffee.
I don't know, caffeinated koi seem like they'd be less peaceful.
@@shaventalz3092 good one. Lol
Now we need more underwater footage!
I have a cat with the same attitude as Buttah, hates being picked up, but loves being held.
How exciting! Love the new babies!
The pond looks great and I love seeing how big the chickens are now
I love seeing updates of the girls!
eeeeeee, love the underwater shot. The epic animals are doing great!
I see you and Jacques use the same video editor, lol...
;)
Awesome gift from Chad! Beautiful Koi! Love Th e underwater view 👌🏻. Your chicks are too cute.
I would love to see a series on plants/fish in the pond and maybe even try some sort of aquaponic system in the pond.
Edit: A plecostomus fish can control that algae. They are very cheap at pet stores.
Such a great day hanging out with you around the Epic Pond Kevin!
You should consider naming the chicken with the little Mohawk , Tina.
LOVE THIS
your koi pond is lovely, the water is so clear. you must have a great pond filter system
Name suggestion: Silvy for the silver lace ?
This 'episode' gave me major *This Old House* vibes. lol
thanks for your vids. i really like that Lavender's color.
I could watch that under water shot for hours....too cool! Congratulations 🎊
Kevin, everything looks so awesome! 😍
Congratulations on your new baby koi! That's awesome! You gotta start naming the fishy. Haha. 🌟
an idea, you can add an outdoor security camera such as the "ring" camera (or whatever camera system you already have in place) to monitor your chicks while your away. Another set of security and peace of mind. 🐓💕
Lovely kois and cute chickens. Love that your updating more often.
Thx for the underwater 🫧 shots those were cool.
When you introduce a new feeder or waterer just use your fingernail and tap on it until the chicks get curious and come investigate. Its imitating what a mother hen would do
Haha that chicken feeder looks just like a spaceship 🚀 😆
What about naming the silver chicken Coco for Coco Channel since you have Gucci.
Niceee, I want a pond now
I definitely think your pond needs a Lotus or 2!
You really should get more underwater plants for your fish to hide in :]
Lovely new fish to be with the babies 🐠 the water in that pond looks so clear and refreshing, I can see myself with my feet in it. The chicks are getting so big and cute 🥰 what do you think of the name Galaxy for the white and black? More videos, please 🥹
I don't mind galaxy!!!
When Jeff appears from the shade and looks just like Jeff Bezos hehe
The new chicken feeder reminds me of the lunar module from the 1st moon landing. I guess the Eagle has landed. 😉
Not gonna lie…looking at Butter makes me hungry
Great👍
Loving the chicken updates 😊
The chickens figured out the water system because they really are intelligent animals
I live in San Diego also, so I advise to put a net over your pond. I've had oppsums, skunks, racoons and all sorts visit my yard. So best be careful of predators.
Thanks for the tips!
Yes, herons will snatch fish right out of your pond too!
The silverlace chick…Silvey!
I love your pond I’ve always wanted one maybe one day I will have one. And I love your chickens and the new coop I’ve been raising chickens for years there are part of my life and a part of my Homestead but they’re addicting I started out with just seven now I’m hitting almost close to 30 don’t get hooked.
Silver should be named Bullion.
I love the pond but went back looking for the build video thinking I'd missed it but it seems you didn't make one. Any chance there may be a more detailed review coming up? Love the channel Kevin, keep up the good content.
It’s on the main channel “epic gardening”
I keep playing back the underwater shots. Love watching them swim. Maybe a Koi cam???????? Do chickens swim? Underwater Chick N Koi Cam!
Yay
I was expecting you would grow tilapia or some kind of edible fish for the epic homestead
Who did your mural? Did I miss that video?
Nice pond. Now you need a few hundred Mosquito Fish to take care of the Mosquitos and gnats, etc... If you start with 9 females and one male you should have plenty in a month LOL.👍 If you have a dog make sure it puts its scent around the pond often to help keep the raccoons away.
i feel like silver should be named chanel
Um, when are you going to show us that lovely mural you got going in the background? Everything is looking amazeballs btw.
Coming!
I’m concerned about having koi in my area zone 6 can have a nasty winter
💜💜
Love seeing the koi! I can't remember in the coop build, but have you done anything to predator proof from animals digging under? My first flock got got by a digging raccoon, so it's something I'm hyper aware of now
now put a largemouth bass in their
What are you going to protect the koi from predation by birds? Seems the more expensive the fish I put in my the faster the herons can for a meal.....
How do you keep the raccoons out of your pond? We had s nice pond with beautiful water lilies but the raccoons ate all of our fish even after we put wire over the pond😭
Great question Stephinie, lots of hiding places for the fish in this pond. The koi are safe:)
Koi
Excuse me, muralllllll
I’m curious, why not use edible fish like tilapia?
Could, and might!
If the gold one is Gucci, the silver one should be Tiffany
:)
4:20 at this moment, having dysmorphia between "homesteading" in the traditional sense, versus the amount of $$$$ a lot of the things on this channel cost. $40k+ pond, contractor'd chicken coup $2-8K?, fancy feeder, etc etc. (i still love the channel. it's more of a.... idk homesteading for rich people? versus what you'd do out in the real world, the homesteaders in the days of yore, or those who bought a plot of land and are doing this with natural resources, very limited cash, etc.)
watch out for racoons, herons, and crows with those Koi; otherwise, they will be eaten
I think the chickens will love the new feeder, but I probably would have been tempted to leave the legs off for a week or 2 until they got use to it. Chickens are VERY curious so I'm sure they will find the feed any way.
full disclaimer: I raise quail not chickens so I'm use to shorter birds.
