Y’all are amazing so far! I just subscribed today because I like your living philosophy and I’m ready to adopt that as I go into retirement with my husband. We live in Western Washington and our weather is similar but definitely not as cold!!!! Regarding the chickens, we’ve not had to use heat in winter due to never going below 9 F. There was a breed called Plymouth Rock that are more adaptable to harsher climates. Their waddle is so short, they can withstand such temps without frost bite. Egg colors are fun but they all taste the same…good! Keep up the beautiful life and I hope y’all continue to be honest about living together in such tight quarters in the bad weather months. I know that once my husband and I (in our 60s) will have a challenge living together 24/7. He’s a hunter/fisher and I’m a fisher/gatherer and grower of all things living (ie: children, chickens, fish, birds, dogs, cats, plants and gardens.) I have the knack to be able to tune into what a living needs from infants to animals to plants, etc. Keep posting all that’s real as I’m taking notes! ❤ PS: your explanations of the coop are super basic and not complicated. If some don’t really understand the physics and biological aspects of keeping a flock contained and happy, is there a link you’d suggest for beginners? We all want our hens happy and healthy. I experienced red mite infestation after 15 years of keeping chickens. Wow! What a lesson. Also, people think throwing diatomaceous earth is an easy fix. People, look up what the diatoms are and how careful you need to be when using it. They can cut into mucous membranes, lungs and more. Use caution and get informed! The results of doing you due diligence pays off!

to be faaaaiiiiiir, Bo was not given near enough screen time. Laughed too loudly when she stuck her face right in the screen
Haha ya she was looking for here close up 😅
We will give Bo some more screen time in the next one.
Nice video, love to see the way you show your practical knowledge and experience 😊😊😊
If you name your chikins after big name TH-camrs, the click bait titles will write themselves
hahaha we will have to keep that in mind if we get any more chickens.
