I have lost whole flocks of chickens a few times. Bobcats in particular. Last winter I lost a flock. Bobcats again. They took 3 with them, but they killed every last chicken. It is so frustrating and disheartening. We had a hard time getting chicks this year, but we finally found some pullets. The farmer next door raises purebred Aricaunas for FFA and the like mostly...show chickens. He gave us 2 recently. One is the rarer silver.
What a beautiful sight, seeing those pigs savoring that juicy red ripe watermelon. The chickens seemed to be enjoying it too. Funny, I never would have thought chickens would like watermelon too. The bunnies are just beyond cute with their watermelon treats. So sorry to hear about your casualties, but that's farming for ya. Take care and hugs to you both.
Wow! your buck is studly ; )... That's hard losing chickens like that, I've lost chickens to a predators. I know your loss. THX for sharing and God bless..
oh my you're pigs have grown so much they are beautiful they're going to make your plenty of feed for the winter God bless you and keeping it real Mississippi girl love it
Hi @Sawyer Ridge Farm! I love that you traded bucks with Dutch. He was a big boy from the day he was born and always stood out amongst the herd. I think he'll mature into a handsome buck like the one you already have. I'm sorry to hear about the chickens. Any loss to a flock hurts. That is a devastation though. Those baby bunnies are too cute! The pigs are looking good too! I can't wait to see what other additions are going to be made.
I love y'alls videos! Not only is the photograph outstanding, so is the content! I'm so sorry about your chickens. I only have 8 and to lose any of them would be devastating. On a good note you have another beautiful buck! Love your hat Jacob! ❤
Sorry to hear of the loss of Alex's chickens, remember her talking about them. That young buck is already getting big, he is going to make a marvelous addition to your herd. I remember my mom making tunnels for the chickens to take them into the rows between the plants in the garden. So much better than having to hoe each row. Each tunnel was three feet tall and easy to move, which we did every few days. Good luck on your battle against the predators. Prayers.
Those pigs are really 👌 enjoying themselves eating the watermelon 🍉 😋 and playing in the water!! I must admit that the bunnies were so much cuter eating 😍 the watermelon 🍉 😍!!!! I have seen a lot on TH-cam lately about the problem with the raccoons!!! I am truly sorry for the loss of your chickens. I hope that you are able ❤ 💓 to enjoy getting 😊 some of them again especially for Alex. Everything is looking 👌 great 👍 so time to get the varmints!! God Bless you guys and your hard work around your place!!!
love your sight. love the way you take such good loving care of your farm I live in central Mexico and am too old to do all that you do but so enjoy watching you sorry about your chickens.
Sorry to hear about the chickens. Pigs look like they are totally enjoying their pond. The new buck definitely looks like he could be a descendant of your old buck. Looking forward to see what the new buck throws.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your chickens , 😔, and congratulation on the two new guys to your farm, wishing you all the best , hope you can replace the loss chickens, 😊👍💕💕💕
Black Copper Marans are awesome looking birds. Me and a buddy of mine had breeding coops of Black, Blue and Splash Copper Marans a couple years ago and they were great layers all year long plus they were nice big birds. I’m currently raising some Lavender Orpingtons
Thank you Vera! 😊 I had a huge response in regards to the braids, so I’m not sure on availability if I can even ship them due to regulations on shipping produce.
@@SawyerRidgeFarm I hadn't thought of regulations. Bummer! Disappointing. Enjoy your videos, stay sweet and humble! You need to introduce Jason to some sweet young ladies. I use your egg peeling technique! Loved the demonstration on the garlic braids. Will have to get my daughter to plant us some so we can do them. Hope your life is blessed! You bless us with the glimpses into your lives and your Chtistianity!
Jacob and Alex, another great video! I love your music choices on this video! You all are getting better and better creating your videos. Darn predators!
Sorry about the chickens, its so good to see you grow your farm, and you both do such a great job with explaining all you are doing. It's also lovely to not have any dramas with political, and health issues all over the Globe discussed.. Take care and stay healthy.
I'm so sorry to hear about the chickens. Alex was so happy & excited to get that breed & they were doing so well. The raccoons, mink, snakes, coyotes etc all seem like chickens as much as we do. I hope you are able to get rid of those aggressive raccoons! Maybe a hotwire fence that gets turned on at night after the birds get in will give any future predators a change of mind and get them to move on?
i use to free range my chickens also, once the racoons find your chickens they are not safe. I then built a 6 foot fence and kept them in there. At 230 in the afternoon I came out and saw a racoon taking one of my chickens over the fence, I have since enclosed the whole top which took a week as the coop fenced area was so big. No more missing chickens. Good luck, sorry for the loss.
Januaryish 🤣 my tshirt say's Adultish lol, I am 66, not time to grow up yet, love this family, I would love you as neighbors and friends, God bless you and your beautiful family 🕊
It’s devastating when you loose chickens! We’ve lost two buff orpingtons to hawks. The first just disappeared, the second we actually saw the hawk attack her and were able to scare it away but she didn’t survive the attack.
Jacob, I just watch a video from Morehead homestead. Bo had set a trap and caught a possum. I personally had raccoon problems a few years ago. I set a trap out and caught three raccoons. You might need to trap them because they will continue to come back.
Just as I was missing you two, there's a video. Really sorry about your chickens, can the 4 not taken rebuild what you had or will you need to get more? The pigs are looking good. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤
Those are some happy pigs. Sorry for the loss of the chickens. But that is life on a farm. You will have predators. Perhaps maybe some traps catch take them off to a river let them go. Once they find a good source they are hard to get rid off. Love your videos. Ty for sharing. Looking forward to seeing some new fur babies with the new buck
Beautiful opening shots, guys! The color saturation was gorgeous. ~ Sorry about your chickens; I love Black Copper Marans, too, Alex. Your buck swap seems great, though.
I lost 10 chickens a couple of years ago. I don't know what got them, but it could well be raccoons or hawks. This time we got all new chickens, my husband built a fortress. Not only does it have a fence around it, it has a "roof" of fence wire as well. So far, it's been about 10 months and we've not lost a hen yet.
Sorry for your loss, preditor attacks really suck, had one early this spring. Lost five birds in broad day light when we came in for lunch. On a lighter note: We picked up a BLRW rooster this spring too, along with several other bird breeds, he's awesome. One of our favorites, does a good rooster dance and never gets in fights. He's gonna be a big boy too.
Bummer about the chicks, my fav are the black coppers, really sad. Electric fencing!! Your goats look healthy and happy. I agree with another commentator, no drama, love you two your goin to the top growing your channel fast. Keep up being yourselves no b.s. no drama. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story with us. P.S. thanks for showing us the braided garlic trick, Alex. If you want to sell I’ll buy one from ya!
I had some white onions 🧅 that were still small. I pulled them and braided (8 bundles of 6 asst size). Trimmed the roots and varied the sizes....just like Alex showed in her tutorial. Hope to plant them again as onion sets. Very nice...pretty. Great tutorial...inspired me to try. 🎚You guys rock. 👫🏼
I see the pigs, rabbits and chickens enjoying the watermelon. How is your cantaloupes doing? I love watching and waiting to see how your garden is doing. I have learned a lot about gardening watching your videos.
Sorry for your Marans. I was hoping to buy some from you one day. Those racoons were hungry I guess?. But try again. Nice new buck and the pigs are getting bigger. Nice new hat and nice of the Vetern to send you one. Stay Blessed ☺
So sorry about the chickens guys, Alex I know you were expecially excited about those. Hopefully you can get those predators taken care of. Those pigs were so happy,🐷they love the watermelon. I'm kind of jealous, I want some watermelon, it's so expensive here it's a rare treat for me 🍉
So sorry about your chickens. At first I was thinking you were gonna say it was a hawk. Never knew raccoons were so viscous. Looking forward to seeing your solution for detouring that from happening again.
My little miniature dachshund killed all my Cornish cross. 12 of them. I know the time factor disappointment. Not the money but the labor of love to have them taken. Sorry that happened to you and your flock. Nice looking buck. See ya next round.
Hi. Glad to see the pigs are wallowing out your pond well n growing also. Maybe after they are gone, you can plant some willow trees around pond for shade. If you plan to use same area next year for pigs, build a box around the small trees. So glad to see y'all roll with set backs like death of animals n plan against it happening again. Peace to you and yours
CONGRATULATIONS on the Buck!!! He's going to be a Big One!!!!! Pigs and chickens are looking good hate you lost your chickens!! What happen to the bloopers at the end of the videos I love them I used to laugh so hard!!!!! God Bless
First off, Great video as always! Noticed you are getting close to that 30K mark! Prayers to get more subs to push you to the next milestone! So sorry to hear about your chickens...those go for a good price...we raise Australorps and had one hen brood and hatched out 4 chicks..., she was outside with her little brood, and next morning all but one chick was gone and mom had her head missing...coons...now, we are taking and incubating eggs to increase our flock...also, we have a coop and all the chickens/roos (we have 2 roos) go in at night and roost...so far, we haven't had any problems...they free range at day and locked up at night...I would like to know the breed of the pigs you are raising...looking for a breed to get for next spring...congrats on a nice trade for a second buck...gorgeous boy! Stay safe and God Bless!
I have lost whole flocks of chickens a few times. Bobcats in particular. Last winter I lost a flock. Bobcats again. They took 3 with them, but they killed every last chicken.

Oh wow! Those bobcats are no joke! And will devastate a flock in a hurry.
Love the beginning how your video starts.The photography is great. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Cynde! 😊
Good morning! The new buck does resemble your other buck, will breed some awesome looking kids.

Your corn looks really good!
Thank you! 👍
So sorry to hear about the problems with the raccoons. Predators are a nightmare. Love your channel. Love that you and Alex shine for the Lord.
Y'all thought about getting a guard goose for your chickens? It looks like they really can help keeping predictors away.
Ya'll have such a beautiful farm. I love your videos and enjoy when you and Jason get together. God Bless from Texas.
Alex ..both of you are so sweet! Wish you did more videos. I really would love to buy one of your garlic braids.
Thank you Vera! 😊
I had a huge response in regards to the braids, so I’m not sure on availability if I can even ship them due to regulations on shipping produce.

Thanks for all the animal shots. I really love all animals and envy you guys but you all rock!
Really enjoyed the tour of the goats, pigs, and chickens. We have chickens and Rabbits and I enjoy the tips your have for them.
Jacob and Alex, another great video! I love your music choices on this video! You all are getting better and better creating your videos. Darn predators!
Thank you! 😊
And yes, they’re a nuisance big time! 😳
I love your animals, so pretty and healthy, so sad for the chickens that were taken ,my granddaughter started crying
Aww... what a sweetheart your granddaughter is! ❤️
Thank you for your support!
What a cutie! Am sure he will live up to his name. He is in a great place with great people. Win, win. Enjoy your channel a lot.
Sorry about the chickens, its so good to see you grow your farm, and you both do such a great job with explaining all you are doing. It's also lovely to not have any dramas with political, and health issues all over the Globe discussed.. Take care and stay healthy.

All the animals get treats today!!!!! Watermelon!!!😋
Boy that buck looks like a stud😁, sorry about your chickens.

Hi
CONGRATULATIONS on 25K! Awesome! Now I sound like Jason Crocker. 🤣
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🐷🐓🐥🐖🐤🦆
Haha! Thank you Melinda! 😊
Just realized the pigs did a good job on the pond. Its holding a lot of water, even threw this hot dry spell. Good job piggy, wigglys. Lol

Congratulations on your new animals🎈So very sorry about your chickens Alex🎈
Aw poor chickens 🐥. The Buck goats do look very alike, good looking bucks. Love watching the pigs x
Januaryish 🤣 my tshirt say's Adultish lol, I am 66, not time to grow up yet, love this family, I would love you as neighbors and friends, God bless you and your beautiful family 🕊
We are 68 and in our second year homesteading...it's just a number...
You are never too old to do something if there is a will, there is a way.
That's heartbreaking about your chickens. Really sorry to hear that. Hope you can build something coon-safe for the others.
Handsome new buck ya got there! Sorry to hear about the chickens.
Thank you great information
😁😁new adventure for the goat(Arrow) 💓 😇😇Many blessings to both of u. Sorry about ur chickens ☹️
He is a very handsome little buck!
Keep up the great work you all are doing. God Bless. :)
Good thinking on having extra bucks...chicken and goats. You guys are doing great. Love all you and Alex do...love ya guys!!!
Belly up to the bar, critters, it’s watermelon time on the farm!! Looks like everyone enjoyed their treat!!
They all loved that watermelon! 😄
So sorry about your chickens. Didnt know rabbits liked watermelon! God bless❤❤
It’s devastating when you loose chickens! We’ve lost two buff orpingtons to hawks. The first just disappeared, the second we actually saw the hawk attack her and were able to scare it away but she didn’t survive the attack.
We’ve physically seen hawks get ours before too. It sucks!
Jacob, I just watch a video from Morehead homestead. Bo had set a trap and caught a possum. I personally had raccoon problems a few years ago. I set a trap out and caught three raccoons. You might need to trap them because they will continue to come back.

Great video and I agree with a fellow subscriber no drama and no bashing subscribers
Saw the corn in background it’s sure looking good. Bucks are nice looking.
Thank you! 😊
Your intro....wow! Good job on the camera work! How frustrating about the chickens! I’m sorry it was the ones that you were so excited about!
Thank you so much Steph! 😊

I see the pigs, rabbits and chickens enjoying the watermelon. How is your cantaloupes doing? I love watching and waiting to see how your garden is doing. I have learned a lot about gardening watching your videos.
It is doing well starting to get alot of fruit coming on two of them getting close to pick
Older buck is Good Looking. Like a King of goats. Predators seem to like chicken like we do, Plus there easy pickens, even in a chicken house.
Sorry for your Marans. I was hoping to buy some from you one day. Those racoons were hungry I guess?. But try again. Nice new buck and the pigs are getting bigger. Nice new hat and nice of the Vetern to send you one. Stay Blessed ☺

Thank you! And yes it’s a huge disappointment more so in the time you spent on them.
Sorry Jacob & Alex about your chickens 🐓 your new Goat 🐐 is cute I hope he’s not a fence jumper : )
Thank you your service...........
Thank you!
Your place is awesome! Many blessings 🙏❣️
Thank you! 😀
@@SawyerRidgeFarm Alex, hou can I get one of your garlic braid? Do you sale it? How can we pay you?
Had to say it . Not herd but flock 😁👍I knew it was a slip of the tongue.
Great vlog missed Alex🤣
Sorry about your chickens. Really enjoy your channel.
Hi. Glad to see the pigs are wallowing out your pond well n growing also. Maybe after they are gone, you can plant some willow trees around pond for shade. If you plan to use same area next year for pigs, build a box around the small trees. So glad to see y'all roll with set backs like death of animals n plan against it happening again. Peace to you and yours
You better watch out...getting all new males...lol. Dave from West Virginia
Haha! 😂😄
Hope you don't lose anymore animals God bless stay safe
CONGRATULATIONS on the Buck!!! He's going to be a Big One!!!!! Pigs and chickens are looking good hate you lost your chickens!! What happen to the bloopers at the end of the videos I love them I used to laugh so hard!!!!! God Bless
We honestly just haven’t had any lately. When we do, I love to put them in there, but we never try to stage them just for the video.
Need to zap those fences.
I really enjoyed your opening it was just beautiful. I'm sorry you lost your chickens I hope you will be able to replace them soon.
Thank you so much! 😊
Both bucks are pretty..Will be hard to tell which is father to any kids. LOL I always like to see the pigs. It's like one large playground.
☹️ sorry about your chickens... raccoons can be so destructive. The additional buck is looking good 🤗
Good evening my Friends 😁🏆
