We have a farm but nowhere near the experience of real farmers. We have cats, kittens, donkeys, peafowl, and chickens. This channel is for the person who wants to sit back, relax, laugh, and see what life on a farm can be like, what mistakes can be made, and how much fun can be had.
Animals are incredible and they teach us everyday. We hope you will join us on this adventure!

This is the story of the birth of our baby donkey Felix. Unfortunately he was born with his tongue sticking out which is a condition known as dummy foal. The poor little guy had to be brought to the equine NICU.
Avian Flu on our Farm - ALL BIRDS MUST BE KILLED
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a sad video. One of our peacocks was diagnosed with the Avian Flu H5N1. All the birds on the farm had to be killed by the department of agriculture. We had to wear masks to feed the birds while we waited. We aren't allowed to have birds for 5 months now. Horrible experience! No more guinea fowl, peacocks, chickens.
CHICKEN LOST in HUGE SNOW STORM - at NIGHT! CRAZY WIND GUSTS
มุมมอง 4742 ปีที่แล้ว
A huge winter storm at the farm. All the animals are hunkered down in the barn. The snow is flying. Huge winds. Winter storm watch in effect. We find a chicken outside in the middle of the storm. Beautiful deer frolic in the snow and ice. Peacocks like the new path we made for them in the snow and the donkeys push through the piles and piles of snow. Nothing quite like a huge snowstorm. Nightti...
ALL the WATER is FROZEN on the FARM!!
มุมมอง 5402 ปีที่แล้ว
The temperature plummets to -1 Fahrenheit on the farm. It is freezing out. All the water is frozen. The peacocks are happy strutting in the snow and the donkeys are hungry. The barn cats love the tractor. Snow and Ice everywhere. Winter has finally made it to the farm.
NEUTERING your BARN CAT?!
มุมมอง 4112 ปีที่แล้ว
We get our little barn cat Hermes neutered in this video. We take you through the process. He gets to wear the cone of shame but still loves hanging out with the peacocks. The donkeys and the guinea fowl were stressed when we brought the car around but everyone was happy to see little Hermes back.

GUINEA FOWL ON THE MOVE
มุมมอง 9543 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video we move our guinea fowl to the chicken tractor. The donkeys keep guard. The easter eggers come along for the ride too. The barn kittens are mainly interested in the box. Hope you enjoy this weeks video. Please like and subscribe and leave a comment below.
So you got chicks in the mail... NOW WHAT?
มุมมอง 5713 ปีที่แล้ว
We just got these chicks delivered in the mail. This is how the process of ordering chicks online works. We cover what we do when we get new chicks. The peacocks are shedding because mating season is over. The barn cats love playing with the tail feathers. We got 15 guinea fowl and 15 easter eggers. Waster eggers are chickens that lay eggs of all different colors. Hence the name easter eggers.

Fixing Spraddle/Splayed Leg in Peachicks
I have rescued a white peacock Who won’t go under shelter, I don’t know how he has lived in the past, but here in the UK we get very cold wet winters , he stands out in all weathers and roosts in the trees. I am worried he may not thrive outdoors , but will hurt himself if kept in. What would you recommend please🙏
I think he will be ok outside! They are very sturdy animals. If you can keep him inside on the coldest and wettest days that would be ideal but he should be ok.
WHAT ABOUT WHITE PEAHENS IN SNOWY WEATHER?
i have 2 peahens and 1 peacock, is there a prefered season to release them, they have been caged for a year now
No real preferred season as long as it isn’t the dead of winter. Thank you for watching!
Did you get any birds again after avian flu😢❤
We did! We are slowly rebuilding :) thank you for asking!
Would there be a climate limitation to owning pea fowl? We have four seasons in middle Oregon. Three are lovely but winters get pretty chilly.
Peafowl are incredibly weather hardy as adults. The only variety that does not do well in the cold is the Java green variety :) you can check out our video on will peacocks survive the winter. Thank you for watching!
What is the chance of having fertile eggs from a two year old female and one year old male Indian peacocks.
Not that high but definitely worth incubating to see!
@@theplayfarmer9324 So when do they start having fertile eggs?
Ayo! Ayo!
How many has were recorded with "long C" before the pharma pogroms, versus thereafter? How common are "long haul" legacy effects from any malady? How many "unprotected" claimed to have "long C", versus the "protected"; and why hasn't this most obvious of comparisons been made and put front and centre of any of the "long C' palaver...? 🤔
🥹🥹🥹 Their cuteness giving me tears of joy
How do they do with geese?
I’m not sure unfortunately as I have never had geese. Sorry about that!
No problem
So beautiful! I never saw peacocks with blue eyes 0:48
We switched to a heat plate instead of the lamps much better, safer and uses less power
Good information thank you 🙏 ❤
Glad it was helpful!
so you mentioned that you keep them off the grass for up to six months…. do you keep them in the wooded box all that time? im incubating some eggs tomorrow hopefully i get them to hatch
Hi there! We keep them in the wooden box until they are about a month old/too big to fit comfortably. Then we move them to another area that is a pen with a wooden floor until they are 6 months old. Thank you so much for watching!
God, you are wonderful.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Do you guys ever sell them I’d love to have a Indian blue one day 🦚
Unfortunately we don’t have enough to sell yet :(. Sorry about that!
They eat snakes too.
would this be okay to have just one as a pet for my children? do they get lonely?
I would always recommend having two if at all possible but if you only can have one they should be alright. Thank you for watching!
Hello, I was told peacocks would eat hay, same type of alfalfa orchard grass that's fed to livestock. Is this true and how much do they eat of it if percentage wise throughout the daily food intake? Thanks
Hi there! None of our peacocks have eaten hay so unfortunately I don’t have a helpful answer for you on that! So sorry about that!
@@theplayfarmer9324 Thanks for getting back. I really wanna get them but the cost of feed is insane and I know they are big birds so trying to see if there's alternative feed options. I have also wheat, barely and corn but nothing would come close to cost of hay as far as affordability and that's what I was told by 2 people that they do eat hay.
Gotcha. Yea if you know people who have them and they have fed them hay then it might work. I just can’t say for sure if it would provide a well balanced diet for them because I know it takes a lot of protein to grow their tail.
Are they super loud? I was thinking about getting two of them, but I am kind of scared they will bother the neighborhood. Any thought? Thank you for your video.
They are definitely loud! So would consider that for sure in your decision. Thank you for watching our video!
My gfs peacock just hatched four eggs
Amazing!! Congrats!!
My wife has a couple peacock eggs, our 1st, non-chicken, coming soon, from a FB waffle. Thanks for the temp/humidity info. Will give it a go in our TSC Nurtureright incubators.
Good luck! And thanks for watching!
My eggs arrived in 7 days ... Will they hatch 😢
Don’t worry! You should be alright. They can sit for a while as long as the temperature is ok
@@theplayfarmer9324 What should I do now ... Please explain me
My eggs arrived in 7 days ... Will they hatch 😢
Did they hatch??

Hi, quick question. How high does the temperature need to be in lockdown time. Great video btw!
Same temperature :)
cool! do they ever fly away?
Yes they do if you don’t habituate them to the place first. We don’t recommend letting them free range unless you are ok with that risk. Thank you for watching!
We had peacocks, chickens, ducks, geese, and guineas (for awhile). Literally the only con were their giant tarry dairy-queen poops. Very sticky.
It's so lovely to watch your videos! Kind greetings and lots of love from Germany!
You are so kind!! Thank you for watching!!
Yeeessss the peacocks are back!! I'm so happy for you guys!!! And Felix is just sooooo cute!!
Thank you so much! Your note really made our day!
I was told that they need a good shelter and a least of 4 ft high perch are really big round perch like a closet pole to get out of the elements and that is draft free.
Just wee on it
Donkeys and peacocks, you guys are my kind of people!
Just piss on it. You'll know
Livestock electric fences will really scramble your circuits if you grab one, that grass trick will probably save you from feeling like you got hit with a baseball bat.
I, double dog, dare you to pee on the fence.
Oooor you could tell your kid you haven't turned it on yet and see what happens
Love from India
Thank you so much! Lots of love back
Love to see your videos
This is so cool, peacocks are awesome.
What kind of cat food do you feed peacock
Regular meow mix :)
Gotta use this for all the fake electric fences around my city. About to fact check every single one of them. Better yet maybe I can start telling people if they give me $20 I’ll touch the fence, secretly knowing that there’s no electric current running through it 📈💰
Just pee on them 😂 you’ll know 😂
If you use a metal pen you should be able to tell better yall
It is 3 a.m., and I can't sleep because I am heartbroken that my flock of 18 years will be culled in the next two days. The avian flu outbreak on my farm has been devastating. Are you going to resume farming with poultry, or have you decided not to? The loss is horrible.
So so sorry to hear this :( it is truly devastating. We have started to rebuild but I am really sorry to hear about your story. All our thoughts are with you
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Hahaha :) thanks for watching!!
Where is grandmother from?
She’s from Italy :)
A real rest of character. Admiration for you.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!
@@theplayfarmer9324 Meant to say TEST of character. What state are you in? ( I have worked at stables.) All those rocks are similar to Triassic Basin in Virginia. I used to go around picking them up!
Two videos in a month pls
Working on the next one now! Thank you so much for watching!
U will do far better then them
you are very lucky, looks like a nice life, my dream, all those animals, felix is a joy
Thank you so much for watching!! Really appreciate the kind words!!
Wow good job. I am. Going to have peacocks in the Philippines.
