    The piece you said with the key is a horse bit that goes on a bridle. It goes in the horses mouth to control it.

    I have been MIA for a bit, BUT I never miss one of yours.....
    One thing I have noticed is that, without exception, every single CZcams homesteader I follow has had fox attacks on livestock this year. You must maybe realise that I am living "vicariously" through watching your progress & success so I am maybe? able to assess from afar. These are different patterns to past years. Weather pattern changes?
    However, onto happier topics.......loving the new chookies
    Guinea fowls are awesome
    Still loving the progress & cheeky vibe 🤗

    • @portugalitis

      Hi Sonya :) I seen as well everyone lost they livestock .. Maybe fox population getting bigger or they just running out of food .. or maybe it's more people who live off grid and keep animals so they can go to people and take them .. we will never know ..
      Would like to say BIG thank you for never missing our fun videos ;) It's so lovely to see that we got so many lovely people who watch us as and talk to us !!! I love it G xxx

    Dear G & Andrew
    the Gladiouls flowers, are beautiful
    you have many red strawberries yummy
    the veg covered garden has very healthy plants
    you both have made a lot of progress clearing the back and front of the stone house
    the back looks beautiful now
    the front will take time, as sooooo many large stones everywhere near the house
    but you will get it done
    so just know that
    I loved seeing Andreu and Guffie having a sleep in the hammock
    and
    Andreu stopping his work for the day when two new chickens were sleeping in a new trench near his work
    also seeing G moving soooo much soil and rocks to help you Andreu

    We have chickens and a fox got one but between my Grandson and his Dad chasing it thru the woods the fox dropped it. My Son in Law shot at it but missed. The chicken came home about 30 minutes later with a few less feathers! Our chickens have been in the coop since! I like be your farm and your house is looking great! Your videos are a highlight of my day!

    • @portugalitis
      @portugalitis  Před měsícem

      Ohh Kathy I hope she will be ok !!! One of our chickens (first attack) she survived as well !!! she took a whole day to recover as she was sitting down all day ... Maybe give your girl some food to feel better .. some boiled egg? they like that and she will eat something at least :) Usually takes time for them to get comfortable again ... Thank you for watching us :) and Hope we will make you smile every time you watch us :) Hugs Gxxx

    One advice for you hardworking people. When you build with natural stones use lime or mortar.
    If you want moisture and funghi on youre walls use cement.
    Cement is for bricks,made by men.
    Lime or mortar is for natural stones.

    Funnily enough I was thinking about the fox issue before I spotted today’s video. Fox’s always divide opinion - personally I love them and the thought of having to kill such pretty animal, well I could never do it. I like chickens too though and I would always try to purchase a few former factory chickens to give the a taste of freedom. Ahhh, you are such a lovely couple (just watching you, G, praying your husband for building you a kitchen.
    Going back to the area around your chicken coop, the enclosed area I would but chicken wire across the top too. They could run around outside when you two are near by?
    You remind me of Adam and Eve, perfectly matched, lovely, decent people ❤️

    Wow, G you certainly know how to swing a pickaxe! Your tomatoes are looking good, all that rain will make them grow 6 inches overnight! When will you get the roof over the kitchen and main house? It must be super frustrating having to empty the water every time it rains. You seem to have had success with introducing the new chickens to your main flock, all seems to be very harmonious. Great idea to get the guinea fowl as look outs!

      Thank you Rosemary :) I do know how to handle big sharp tools LOL .. I bet garden will be so happy after this rain ... so as weeds ...We need to make patio first then we can move on to the roof .. if won't be raining after tomorrow so it's not big deal to get that water out .. it's 5 min job :) The hens already sleeping together on perches still fightng during the day .. but they getting there ... Guinea fowl so cute !! I know they can scream like crazy .. but they didn't done it yet ... I am sure we will hear them ... :) take care Gxxx

      Be careful with sun ... When you have chemotherapy sun reacts with skin and you will get tan 10 times faster then normal ... I didn't knew that so accidently got a a VERY brown line on my back LOL .. and the extra quick tan lasted about 5 years !! I loved it :) was very easy to get nice and brown specially living in UK where summer time is not that good as here in PT

    As you already know the guinea hens are noisy, but they'll take care of any bugs that come near them. The deck will be very nice to have. For some reason I'm really anxious to see your roof done, but I'm sure you'd like that too. I'm wondering if Diedre is the right spelling of your name G, and where does G come from?

      One comment said that Guinea like to run away .. I hope they won't do that .. I will keep them in the enclosure for few weeks before letting them go walk .. so they get used to it to chickens and home ..
      Roof will have to go after we done patio .. as it will be the same structure so we need to make patio first .. but we want roof on as well :) This is the main thing to go ... how exciting !!! Hugs Gxxx

      @@portugalitis Всё правильно. На мой взгляд, жара и недостаточный полив . Огурцы очень чувствительны к поливу , особенно в вашем жарком климате. Завязи огурцов могут желтеть и опадать при температуре выше 30градусов Ц. ( У нас такое бывает если забыть открыть теплицу). Из дополнительного питания - настой крапивы , навоз + вода (1х10), зола + вода(0,2х10). Калий +азот.

      I always do take bottom branches because then the air will flow and it will keep tomatoes healthier :) Plus sometimes they grow new shoots which takes loads of energy from the plant and the main stamp need's all energy :) Less is better and stronger that 2-3 week stems :) I do like keep place tidy ..

It is obvious that u care enough for G.'s feelings concerning ur chickens and fowl and to give in to her wishes. That was a very thoughtful gesture towards ur wife. You both work very well as a couple with a strong drive n work ethics. It is so nice to see a couple such as u that work well as a team.
