  • Come along on a typical day at the farm prepping for an incoming blizzard--preparing the animal enclosures and doing some other last-minute chores before we get a spring dumping of snow! Watch to the end to see how much we ended up getting...
    We'll also give you a coop tour and some insight into how we are doing some prairie maintenance, composting, hardening off some seedlings and more! Riveting stuff, I'll tell ya.
    Hope you all are having a great weekend!

    Oh my goodness potato! A fox had my one chicken , Myrtle, and was dragging her off. I had to throw a lawn chair at it to get it to drop her and run. She survives to this day. Mine get a one hr supervised recess each day in our fenced garden. Thanks for your zinnias video!

    Love the idea of leaves for bedding. I yell at hawks on the regular 🤣. If I had neighbors closer I'm sure they would think I was crazy. Love your sickle 💚

    We feed the birds year round, so I am always on the lookout for marauding hawks, and they know it! I go out after them all the time, yelling and pointing. Some fly away as soon as they see me now!

    Thank you for sharing your day! It is so nice to see someone, other than myself, having days like those, right down to running through the yard screaming at hawks (I actually just dealt with an eagle) to save our chickens:)

    I love your sense of earthly responsibility. I own a 2011 Honda Civic Coupe and also plan on keeping it until it becomes a money pit. I always look forward to your videos and will rewatch many older ones.

    When I had chickens there were numerous enemies... Owls and Fishers at night , you name it....After a while I lost the battle and the joy of backyard chickens. Oh well...

    It has not snow here in Alaska for a while. I watch your channel because I enjoy your videos and I learn a lot. Also because it snows like Alaska in there where I can relate.

    Thank you for your video. Very interesting to see things from a new perspective. Happy chickens are safe.
    I have a question about the paths on your farm. What are they made of and how? Do they require a lot of care?

    Not sure how much we had at City Park, but there were a lot of broken limbs. I made sure to put a request in for a chip drop to help me get some new beds and walkways ready for summer. When Mother Nature gives you a snowstorm you make lemonade 😊

    I always keep a few black chickens to scare off hawks. Not sure if it’s an old wives tale or not but I do it anyway. My biggest problem is raccoons 🦝 I caught 11 of the buggers in one month 😮

    What breed is Dotty? I have a dominique who was a snuggly chick, and even now that she's 9 months old she still hops in my lap, tucks her head under my arm and rolls onto her side to sunbathe while I pet her. She has super soft feathers :)

    Question regarding the chicken coop. The door automatically closes at dusk … what if the chickens are not inside?
