SUBSCRIBE and help support the channel. And don't forget to drop a comment. It helps us to build this channel into something special. We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.
Hi Chad and Rhemy ,I truly enjoy your channel. The different animal homes are so amazing. The chicken mansion is my favorite.
I really enjoy seeing Rhemy,I love her floppy hat. Your farm is so fun to watch. Be safe and happy.
Watching from
Bunawan, davao city, PHILIPPINES🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Hey Olive.. if you’re watching this I just wanted to let you know you’re a wonderful herd dog 🐕👍😎
❤️ 🐾 ❤️
Agree ❤❤❤❤
@@HiddenSpringFarmYou can add fishes to keep clean pond
Perfect job with Bubbles! Some cats just take longer than others because of confidence issues. Do not just grab her. You are absolutely right to reject that idea To all the people saying that, if you do that it will undo all the work you've done with her and she will never trust you again!
Yes I gotta just have patience, she has good days and bad but she guards the cat cave when everyone is working.
I sure hope you & your darlin realize what an incredibly positive influence that you are for so many of us!
When I am watching your podcast, it feels like the whole world is a better place ❤
Wow, thank you! Thats a very nice comment.
❤How is Tango doing since she spent 2 nights tangled up in the bushes, lost her lovely necklace and Finally wandered home. You said she didn't seem any worse for the ware......hopefully she won't gift you with some ""kittens" in a couple of months.......unless you want some more cats for the Claw Crew! God bless to you & Remy & ALL your Happy Critters😊❤😊
@@sherylbartlett3871 the new collar that I put on her was lost and it’s still lost. At least I tracked down the old one. That’s was a while ago so she’d be really big if she was preggers. She’s still the most difficult cat to get back though and she stays out overnight far more than any other cat.
Im so happy i found this channel, i watch with my kids we are pet lovers❤❤❤
@@christiejeanjara2299 happy to hear it, ang galing 😉
Fozzy has one speed.... LoL
I’ve seen him run occasionally but mostly he’s in 1st gear.
@@HiddenSpringFarm after a long hot day ... I have Fozzy speed 🤣🤣
I’d like to see an episode where you talk about how you met your darling and what you did before you bought the farm, etc.
I think it's great that you give Bubbles time and don't force her out. Cats have different characters and personalities, just like us. Have you considered taking her into the house? Or is that not an option, maybe a more 1-on-1 approach will do her good.
@@Ellllaaa I did have Bubbles in the house for a while and it didn’t work out very well, even with three litter boxes she was relieving herself everywhere like on the furniture, under the sofa etc. and she just hid the whole time, crying. She didn’t like being alone at all and I spent hours just sitting there very patiently. Once I brought her back with the crew she was better. I think I’ll just continue to do what I’m doing, there are days where she lets me pet her but most days she keeps her distance. And I’m sure if I let her out I’ll have a really difficult time getting her back in. She greets all the other cats when them come back in so I know she happy being there and she has lots of activities and hiding places so I’m ok with her staying in for now.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Sounds like a good plan, you know her and her world best. And who knows maybe she will come around, I'm just happy you are totally ok with her being there even though she isn't "working", she doesn't seem to be unhappy.
Big Red is a gentleman! Love how he's concerned his lady's eat first.
Mornings with Hidden Spring, my favorite!!
My kitties love Churu. I put mine in a bowl for them.
Hi Fozzy boy!
Love you Bubbles!
Bubbles will eat it from a bowl for sure I wanted to try to calm her with it but as you can see…nope.
@@HiddenSpringFarm you are doing a great job with her! Thank you 🙏
Big Red is indeed the ladies man ❤
You and Remi live in an animal paradise.
👊
I don't know which animals are the most fun to watch, but, the cats are always entertaining.
I know right, as I’m going about my day, I always see them doing something and quickly whip out my phone to record those stolen shots.
My dad added a bubbler and a UV system to kill the algae in his qui pond. You can also use hay to filter the water coming through the water fall.
I just love the cat crew..always makes me smile when i see how much they love you x you love them..beautiful.
Yeah they’re pretty cool
Funny how the cats greet you!!! So happy to be petted!!!
It’s very interesting to me how Tango & Maggie behave so differently when they’re out compared to when they’re in. You can see they all come to me for greetings and pets first thing but during the day I can hardly ever pet Maggie & Tango. Bubbles and Mango are the worst too, very hard to even sneak in a pet. Dexter & Fozzy are always available for pets.
Chad, Bubbles' issues aren't about you. She has wild instincts. I had a cat like that. We both finally discovered that she liked to have her belly rubbed - I'd never had a cat who liked that before - but out of nowhere she would spook and claw the ever-living daylights out of me while she was making her getaway from some perceived danger. There was no point in getting mad at her for clawing me, or wondering what I'd done wrong, or trying to change her instincts. I just always put a doubled up towel on my lap before letting her get close and kept my hands and arms out of her way while she was leaving. Ruined a few towels, but that was no biggie compared to being able to find a way to let her have a few minutes of safety and contentment. I think loving anyone is about meeting them where they are and seeing if there's a way to make it work. The alternative in the case of that cat (who has been gone for over a decade now) would have been to put her down. Instead, we had many good years together that we might have both otherwise missed. I'm not saying to give up on Bubbles; I'm just saying you might want to prepare yourself for a cat who, if she ever comes to you at all, may not come to you until well after her mousing years are over.
Another awesome day at the farm! I just love being there! Thank you Chad 🥰❤
Our pleasure!
i love watching your videos...really dreamed of having a homestead..
@@armandtabel151 😁
Living the dream.
Oh yeah totally 💯
Woooow...u look like garth brooks ❤
I love watching what the cats get up to. I love them all, but my favorite is Dexter Morgan.
Haha good ole Dexter 🐈⬛
26:00 "Don't do that Olive. They're just playin." Looked to me like Olive was playing and the geese were the aggressive ones. lol
‘I’m not an axe murderer!’ 😂😂😂. You’re so cute with the Claw Crew! I think Bubbles is just fine hanging out by herself during the day…
@@michelegeiger520 😁
Thank you Chad. I really enjoyed seeing all the animals this morning. Glad you and your wife are doing well. Love you guys 💜🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Don't worry about the pond. A lot of it comes from trees. The ducks take their bath and get out. All the animals are adorable and brings joy to our life. ❤😊
I watch Chad and his farm friends before I go to bed. An amazing and kind person who loves his pets and makes an effort to give them an amazing life 👏👏
💜💜
Olive is such a sweet dog , taking care of all the other animals. Love your darling she seems really nice
❤️
If you sprinkle yack root on the pigs food it helps with the smell! I have a pig that sleeps in my bed every night and goes outside as he pleases. My pigs pee and poop used to smell soooo bad and someone in a pig group recommended yack root and it has been amazing!! No issues with the smell at all since we started using it!! It only takes very little sprinkled on his food like twice a week!
@@meganmccampbepl1321 never heard of yack root, but I’ll figure it out and try it. That sounds like a great tip thanks 😊
😂its quite the routine for sure...were at 50+ at the moment...with khaki cambels in the incubator. Its always great to see how you havr streamlined the process so i can work smarter too! Thank you my friend!
Truth is if I’m filming it takes me about 4 hours but if I’m just quickly doing feedings I have it down to about 30 mins. So fairly efficient, building the setup is what takes a long time.
I loved seeing all the animals and your morning chores. Fozzy is so funny. He follows you everywhere in his own slow motion style! Bubbles was so cute peeking out of her door and finally eating some of the churu with Chunk! ❤
Yeah Bubbles is very shy, I keep working on her though trying to gain her trust. Happy to hear you’re enjoying the channel 😊
If you put plants in the pond, it would help with the algie and the poop.
I appreciate that Billy came when called. 😂
Oh yeah she knows her name, pigs are very smart actually 🐽
Bubbles is a very special cat. I thought that when you got her and she stayed with you in the house. You know what is best for her. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Love little Bubbles. She will come around. We have had several cats just like her. They just take time
I was happy Chunk came over to eat the churu snack so Bubbles can see him licking it up then I stuck the thing inside and she got a lick too. If I put it in a bowl she'll eat it all for sure but because it was from my hand she's shy.
The guard geese were even chasing Olive away 😂😂 AND nipped Fozzy Bear 😂😂😂 I think Fozzy wanted to smack the geese but you were watching 😆
@@juvyjanededios97 Fozzy wasn’t sure to fight back or to flee 😂
I love Maggie! She is so sweet!
Love love you and your Darlins videos!!!🙏❤️🙏👍👍👍
I love how you appreciate your littlest crew!❤❤
Much love to you, your darlin' and all the critters! They're all looking great! 🐱 Thank you for being so patient with Bubbles. Some cats just aren't cut out for farm life!
My yellow lab watches the entire episode. His head and ear movements are hilarious on this episode. Ruger is one of your biggest fans.
Haha that’s so funny, I’d love to see that 😂
Morning Chad. You have a lot of animals and it seems to keep growing. How do you manage it all? Amazing. Hi Remi. It's good to see more of you in videos. You two stay cool 😎
It’s gonna be a hot week, you take care too
Best farm on TH-cam!
YES!!! 👏
We like our shirts! They are really nice
Good morning to all 🤗 Enjoy this wonderful farm family with Chad and Remi’s 150,000 🤩subscribers ❣👍🏼
Yay!!! Onward & upward
Good job on this video. I haven't seen the pigs and the rabbits in a while, glad they are doing well! I love Fozzy, very cute cat. 😸 hey fozzy!
Your Big Red impersonation was everything! 🤣😂✌️❤️
😂
Seeing all the animals always brings me joy! The geese are getting so big! Thank you for sharing!
Yes of all the animals, geese may be the fastest to full size
I enJoyed watching you feed your animals!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️
So glad!
‼️ ‼️ What a beautiful life ‼️‼️
Glad seeing all the nimals. Love the cats. I'm glad you had more visitors. Caution with their driving around the animals. Miss molly.xx😮
Good afternoon. I loved seeing the animals getting started out on a beautiful Monday morning.
Awesome thanks 😊
❤
I felt so light and peaceful watching this! My cat Halloween LOVES Churu. When I need to clip her nails I use it to distract her 😂
Hugs here from Rio, Brasil!
Wonderful!

My doc tells me to go to my happy place when she takes my blood pressure. So I do the same when taking my blood pressure at home- I watch Hidden Spring Farm because it is my happy place. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
Aww that’s so nice of you to say 😁
Mondays are my day off and I love to have my morning coffee and watch your video! It puts me in a good mood to start the day. Thanks
Love to hear it thanks ☺️
Looks like Fozzy lost some weight 🐈🥰
Yes all of them lost their winter weight 😉
@@HiddenSpringFarm half the weight was probably shedding fur 😁
Hi Chad. It's so great to see more of your wife on your videos. It seems to me that she's shy and that's ok. I'm not sure if I have a favorite animal on your farm, but my favorite cat is Chunk. I adore Olive and the duck parade. Seeing the chickens and the bunnies are super cute. I couldn't imagine anywhere else I would rather be than on your farm. Love you both.
The blueberries are looking good! Thanks for the great video of all the animals, the cats really love you.
And they’re very sweet right off the bush
The t-shirts are great quality, I can attest to that.
😁
I love my Black Cats Rule T-shirt. Dexter Rocks!!!!
Yes!!!! Thanks so much 🙏
Mr. Chad, your farm videos are a soothing balm. It was great seeing all the residents for the morning feeding. Yeah, I hear you about the pigs. Lots of work. It's totally understandable that you may want to streamline your workload down the line. Cheers and thanks!
Very awesome to hear, thnx 🤙
Great video! What a wonderful way to start the day. I enjoy this so much and now I'm off to start my chores. You are doing great with Bubbles. I also have a kitty that acts like Bubbles and you just need to "go with the flo" with them. Bubbles seems to be very much loving her life at the moment and is very content and seems to enjoy the life of luxury that you have for all of them. She's got lots of friends with the other cats. Thanks for keeping her safe and giving her a life that she wouldn't have if she were not there. 😻
Looks like a pretty day on the farm! After 2 years the egg production slows down, so will you be hatching out more assorted chickens next year? Is there a market in your area for chick's? I know roosters, but if you have a place to put them away from the hens they can live together till time to go off to freezer camp. 😊
@@lararabb8888 the hens are ok for now, we have more eggs than we can sell or eat especially during summer. I have one guy that buys 12 dozen eggs per month, if I had the be more customer it would be good. I did try to sell chicks and ducklings before but just stopped cause the money was not worth my time & effort on such a small scale. I’ll try again in the future though, I just don’t want more chicks right now and if they don’t sell I’ll have to keep them. As the hens age I’ll hatch more for sure.
Good morning Chad and Olive. Great farm day. Enjoyed all the animals. Love watching Ms. Olive and the geese. lol I think Bubbles is in the right place. She is enjoying her stay in the catio. Until next time, have a fun week.
Good morning! Thank u, you too 😁
make sure the washing instructions say "wash inside out" so that the patch last longer. Love your shirts. looking at the geese's cheeks are so darn cute.
Aloha! I wanted to let you know that I have binged all of your videos and love what you have going on at your farm and the content that you are sharing on your channel. Im invested and very much look forward to your videos when they come out. I love to see what the animals are doing its so cool. Looking forward to your next video!
So glad to hear it, cheers 🤙
Hey bud love the channel just wondering what time you usually get up, let the cats out etc?
Love your channel & watching from Denmark 🇩🇰 ... I've kept cats all my life & think Bubbles is an alone cat, who likes to be by herself. If you give her a separate area she'll be less stressed ... ❤❤
I also have family in Canada 🇨🇦 love it so much .. 😍
Aww thanks so much all the way from Denmark eh. The funny thing with Bubbles is that I think she might be the cat cave guard or at least a kind oh homebody kitty. I see it everyday, when all the other cats come back from their day on the farm Bubbles greets every single one of them. Sometimes it's a face to face sniff, other times it's a butt sniff but either way I feel like she's happy to see them.
Love your videos and all the structures you've built for your animals!!
Awesome, thanks 😊
I don’t know how all this TH-cam stuff works. Are you notified when we leave a comment? How do we watch videos in order?
I just discovered your channel and I am so impressed with your love and care for your animals. I am a cat lady and love the catio and cat cave you built for your cats. If we have questions how do we ask and get answers?
You and your Darling are amazing people. It is great satisfying to watch your progress. I was raised on a farm/ranch and I know the love and the heartaches that comes with it. You are doing an amazing job and obviously not afraid of hard work. Congratulations and may God bless you on your blessed journey!!!
Well if you go to the channel page you’ll see headings like Home, Videos, Shorts, Posts etc, you can go into videos and they’ll have newest, popular and oldest and is you click oldest you’ll see my very first video and the rest in chronological order. But I must warn you, the earlier videos are a lot different than today’s videos as I’ve learned how to better film, edit and develop my on camera comfortability. But you will get a complete idea of where the farm started and every single improvement we’ve done over the last few years. I do try to reply to as many comments as I can but just understand that it becomes a full time job cause there are so many. Usually I’ll know if a comment is left but occasionally there are glitches and I miss some. We’ve cats in the early days and have developed a system with them and they’ll show up in most of the videos 😁
Hi Chad! I love your farm!
❤️❤️
I finally had the time to relax and watch you video. I can’t thank you enough, this wonderful life is super calming😊 I don’t blame you for thinking of not keeping the pigs in the future, they are indeed a ton of work. Fozzy Bear is shedding and sleeping on the job 😆
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤❤cats❤❤😊
Hi Chad and Remi, beautiful to see everyone looking happy and healthy, the weather is beautiful and life is blooming. Olive is a beautiful herd doggy, bless her.❤Love the duck pond, those ducks and geese are living the life!!! Watching this vlog is the best "news" to watch because here in the states our news is saturated with hatred but here, your vlog is pure ❤❤❤❤❤. I know Molly is watching all this with a big smile and Molly is close, never far from the place and people that gave her the best life ever!❤️
Glad you’re enjoying things on the farm, happy to hear such great comments 👌
@@HiddenSpringFarm I ordered my Molly and black cat T-shirts today and made a tiny donation to your farm. Wish I could give more but you're in my heart, Darling and all your beautiful animals are too so my good prayers and goodwill are always aimed your way!👏👏👏😻
@@claudiarusso6702 that’s so cool, thanks so much for the support. It’s much appreciated believe me. Glad you’re enjoying, helps me to keep creating.
What a happy place. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤

Thank you for another enjoyable video.
😁
Make a calendar of all your animals
Cool idea. I haven’t bought a 2025 wall calendar yet and would definitely consider one from this farm if I had the option!
Re the duck pond : I can highly recommend a YT channel called Oz Ponds if you are interested in keeping the pond (potentially) clearer using a homemade wetland bog style filter. I believe the big filter would need to be sized at 30% or so of the volume of the actual pond for keeping ducks, and Oz Ponds info may not account fully for the freeze and thaw cycles if a Canadian winter, but his channel is very down to earth and accessible for amateur pond keepers who want low cost and low maintenance ponds with clear water. 😊 cheers from Australia 😊
Wow!!❤
😁
I feel so bad for Bubbles.
Why?
I hope Big Red doesn't get bloody again. Did u seperate him from the hens? Would the trail cam on them be able to identify the culprit hen?
I think the cats love English sheep dogs ❤cause they don't have wagging tails, so they think it's just a large cat 🤣Love all your animals and your farm ,and you and your darlin toooo.
@@emilieseitl9662 you’re probably right, they won’t get whacked in the head too 😝
Don't feel bad if you don't want to keep pigs long term! you have a million animals you take care of already
@@IdahoJudd 🐷
@@HiddenSpringFarm my pig sleeps in my bed cuddled up to me every night! He is the absolutely the best pet ( more like my baby, my kids tell everyone about their brother and how he's my favorite )
@@meganmccampbepl1321 very cool 🐽
Bubbles is so sweet. Have you ever considered finding her a quiet home since she's too afraid to go outside?
Hi, i was wondering what sort of rat-proof container you use to keep the cat biscuits in please?
Joy overload today😻! And a happy Remy sighting too! 👩🏻🌾 You converse with your animals the same way I do-people have always look sideways at me but I figured it was just chatting with my best friends. My cats won’t eat Churos unless I squeeze a little out at a time on a dish 🤷♂️ A little slice of heaven on the homestead🫶
@@jfarmer305 😁
About the pig pens having floor concrete and a septic like so when it's time to wash pens the dirty water goes straight into the sepitc ..
Watching your videos from India here.. You got the best life to live I must say. Love Olive and Fuzzy ❤️
You are so kind
I really like that color of T-shirt for Fozzy… i think i will get one next pay period… i already have Dexter's shirt and i want to get one of Molly too…
The hens are messing with Big Red because they know something is wrong with him… he has a neurological problem and they know it…
Have you considered adding some copper wire or tubing to the pond so the algae doesn't bloom? 😊
Why does Copper just prevent algae from touching the water? Does it need some kind of system?
@@HiddenSpringFarm here's what I found.
It works by breaking down the cell walls of algae, making them more vulnerable to external factors.
Copper ions attach to algae protein structures, ultimately causing cell membrane damage, leading to algae cell death. It’s worth noting that copper is also effective against bacteria and fungus.
Very cool 😎
it would probably be the best for bubbles to stay indoors, she would be too much at risk and prob would be way to hard to get back inside! I had a cat just like her. trust its deff better for her to stay in doors
My heart, miss bubbles finally eating that Churru 🥺🥺🥺
❤❤❤❤

Nooice! 😎 STOC
