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, rabbits, 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.
I commend you, Chad! You take such good care of your farm animals and work so hard! I admire your fortitude, and the way you treat them ❤️😍
Right on! Thnx 😊
Yes I totally agree he is pretty incredible
ditto, makes me want to work harder
I don't think there is a more likeable personality on TH-cam. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from.
Aww ur making me blush 😆 no really, thnx so much for the nice comment
"I almost fell down on my own farm" now lives rent free. 13:30 😂
my favorite video so far❤ wholesome entrainment for everyone. The duck background music is on point. 10:35
@@AeraLeafMoonStudio aww nice, glad you’re enjoying so far 😊
I love your channel content, Chad. At first I watched it because of Molly because my family has an old English Sheepdog and I adore the breed, then I continued watching because of all the hard work you put into your farm every day. Keep doing what you are doing, you bring us so much joy.
Aww that’s awesome. Molly started it all, she’s such a good girl I have absolutely nothing bad to say about her. She’s so patient with Olive too, love to see it. Thanks for all the watching you do, means a lot as we grow the channel 😊
I love seeing the Horses. It was so cute how she came up to you. And the one wiggling on the ground. 💙
Me too, it’s so nice to see everyone’s personalities.
Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a nice holiday.
😊
We have been sick so we are enjoying your farm so much. So much work.
Oh no, just take it easy.
I enjoyed watching Olive play peekaboo with the rabbit 🐇❤
Yeah that was cute
I am 73. I have seen this 4 times in my lifetime. I remember each time clearly. Not sure of exact dates but remember each well. It happens! I am from Northern Ontario.
Yeah on REALLY WET DAYS like today & yesterday we in PA have WET DOG DAYS.
I got my dogs used to the cool, low Hair Dryer setting at first. Now, i use the heat setting at 2 feet away from the dogs fur & skin. And NOW, they see the hair dryer & roll over for their wonderful Spa-Dry Day. It’ll dry the thick fur in less than 10-15 minutes.
(Of course, they go out & get all wet again & the whole Spa treatment begins again.
My dogs ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HAIR DRYER.
Cannot believe it’s been 3 years! The opening montage and music was so beautiful as are the horses. Molly is looking extra gorgeous with that coat today and Olive’s jacket is a hoot! Solo the goose is looking quite content and Bubbles is showing to be a little beauty. Everyone is so, so well and truly taken care of and loved. This is such a special place and it’s starting to look like you are located here in south coastal B.C. Ha ha ha 🤗
Time flies so fast eh. I started July 24, 2020 and now have well over 600 videos. I think you’re one of the longest tenured viewers too right. Thanks for that.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Yes, I have viewed every video you have made. It is the pride of you not only being a Canadian channel, but the fact that you are so real and do everything with thought and care that still makes this my favourite channel. Nothing is done half-assed like some other homesteads and farms. You and Remy are very special and it shows in how quickly this channel has grown. Happy New Year to Hidden Spring Farm and all its family members❣🎉
Good job Chad! You work with what you have!! 😉👍💜✨
God is good All of the time 😊💜✨
Hi there it’s 12.52 AM here in central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 I love your videos & animals. It is extremely foggy where you are-I live in Scotland for 10 years & they say har instead of fog. The weather as we know is all over the place. However I know regardless of the weather you always look after the animals extremely well 😊 Goodnight now 👍 Nb I love the coats on the doggie’s.
I really admire your handwork You also take good care of yourself.
The Farm Guy Whisperer!!! I was raised on a 127 acre farm back in the day. My 91 y.o. Farmer Dad just passed a few months ago. He loved his farm animals just like you...and being one of seven sure brings back memories!!!
Good morning Chad, as I understand from "The Earth Watcher", all of the northern hemisphere is in what's called El Nino. This pushes the cold air out and your experience the warm 😊
Yes that’s right, the El Niño thing. Anyway it’s a weird time…I miss snow but am happy there isn’t any 😆
Hi Chad great video , love seeing your farm family🤗👍Agreed, cold rain is terrible, may as well just snow😟It would be awesome if you did live videos, boost subscribers also they could do super chats and help make dough for the farm❤️👍
Aww thanks. I’ve thought about doing a live or two but I’m usually struggling to even get my videos done and uploaded let alone sitting there for a live. Internet speed is also an issue. But I’m not against it, maybe I can someday. If anyone does wanna tip me and support the channel I believe every video is setup for Super Thanks which is pretty much the same thing as a SuperChat I think. We’ll see what 2024 brings, hopefully closer to doing some lives. Thnx for the encouragement 😊
@@HiddenSpringFarm BTW The kids love when you let the ducks out, they say “hey there’s chads cheerleaders “ thank you for sharing your farm family with us ❤️👍
@@VintageStylebyJo That is so perfectly well said guys!
@@leonafaryna7617 ❤️👍
I like the cammo!!
Another great video. Kiddo is in the Cub Scouts (he LOVES it)… he was happy when you talked about that today. He says this is his favorite video of yours. 😂He got more of the playmobils Farm sets for Christmas. He calls them his rabbitat, catio, and he got a coop, and pigs. 🐈🐈⬛🐇🐓🐖🐖 he’s naming many of them after your animals. 🥰 😂😂
Happy New Year!!! We’re missing snow here in Ohio too. Muddy mess.
that's too funny, he's building up his own mini HSF. Good job you have him in the scouts as it taught me a lot of life lessons from hygiene to camping to survival, stargazing, history etc.
I don't know if you have a P.O. box, but I bet viewers would love to send stuff for the catio!❤ Thanks for such a a wholesome channel it brings me such joy and happiness!
Pouring rain in Maine today! We had a light dusting of snow and that’s it.
Thank you for NOT blaming our unusual WEATHER as "climate change"! All weather changes over the years and decades. When Texas experiences SNOW affecting their solar panels and energy expect the unexpected when it comes to weather. I remember brittle cold and snow growing up in upstate New York and horrid heat waves in the summer with drought, we survived. Yes, rain make mud, but don't worry the cold and snow is on its way. God Bless.
Oh yeah growing up in Toronto we’re only a few hours away from upstate ny and boy I remember the amount of snow you guys used to get. Turn on the news to see ny slammed again by another blizzard. Still get it occasionally too I believe.
Yes! I think it was in the 90s, all the talk was that the earth was heading into another ice age & Hollywood made a movie showing New York literally freezing over. Now, we're going to burn up! It's called "weather cycles". Been happening since the beginning of time.
I like the sign about working hard so your dog can have a good life. I need one!!
Here on the West Coast it 12 C no snow on the Mountain, so no skiing , But lots of rain some days same as you
This weather has my birds all upside down. We got to plus 12 yesterday. My goose stella started to lay egg 3 weeks ago and her new gander I got 4 weeks ago started to mate 2 weeks ago. This is way early for geese
Her last egg was huge at 195 grams. ( double yolk )
I also have 4 of my 5 young ducks that have started to lay eggs this past few weeks.
Yesterday I got 9 eggs out of 15 females
They should be on winter break
Congratulations on the new layers in the chicken flock :). Always exciting when they start
It was 9 degrees in Kelowna today if this is climate change Im all for it
We are also having crazy weather this December. Don’t know what the rest of the winter will be like. From Northeast New England, USA.
It is so nice how you love & take care of your animals. They are lucky to have a caretaker like you. They even have names!
That Gorilla tarp is cool!!! I just love the dogs they are adorable!! I am a cat person but have had dogs when I was a kid living on the farm in Aldergrove B.C.
They are Old English Sheepdogs are are truly amazing, they get along with all the cats too (when the cats are in the mood) 😂
1997 98 we had no snow for Christmas but had a foot for new years. Almanac that year for J an 1 said build a snow man and watch it melt. Sure enough the snow man melted on the 6th. This year feeling pretty blessed in Manitoba to not have any -30 this year.
It looks like heaven ❤
First time I've seen the inside of the chicken house. Nice!😊❤
1st timer, enjoyed your video. Will continue to watch.
Welcome to the farm 🧑🌾
You bring such happiness to my day watching your videos. Your animals are so lucky to have such a great farmer. Thank you for posting . And hope you and yours have a great New Years 🎉❤❤❤😊 Wess fr MB
Aww thnx very kind of you to say 😊
We got lucky and got a really white Christmas with 20 cm snow. Then it got really cold and sunny and it looked like a fairy winterland, incredibly beautiful. Today we got another 15-20 cm snow, so it's starting to look like the winters I remember from my childhood. I live in (the middle of) Sweden and according to the news, we haven't had a snowy winter like this since 2012. The winters are really much nicer with snow than without. ❄️
Wish you a happy new homesteading year! 😊
so you're the one who stole all our snow
very interesting that your in a part of Ontario, Canada.. I'm in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada.. Like your vids - Have a Happy Mew-Years.. er {New Years}
Right on 🤙 all the best in 2024
Shower Curtains work Great. You can get thick ones. You may need try Lowe's. In the paint area. or look up greenhouse plastic.
Weather is odd all over the world it seems. I never thought I'd miss snow since moving from Montreal to Vancouver 11 yrs ago, but on Christmas day here it was torrential rain all day long (I guess I'd better get used to it)! Today December 28th it's 11 degrees.
I loved your video today as I love seeing all the animals, especially the cats!
Question: are you going to get goats or sheep? What about alpacas? (money to be made there).
PS: you are my now favorite channel 🥰 😻
I have this vision of a little hobbit house carved into the one mountain pasture we have with Blacknose valais sheep peeking in the window as you drink your morning coffee.
@@HiddenSpringFarm lol I can picture that
We seem to be experiencing far more Atlantic storms than normal in the West of Ireland. I have a small holding of only 5 acres but what a wonderful way of life away from the madness of 9-5. Hatched out my own ducks for the first time this year Chad. As I have about 4 different breeds I have no idea what I have now but they should all lay come springtime. 2 Kune Kune girls going fast and 2 rescued ponies just because they deserve a better life. Looking forward to our second spring here, a lot more plans for this year. Love the videos Chad. Some good ideas in there that I may borrow :-)
Sounds like ur getting it all together over there, good for you. Hatching little ones is so fun and incredible and with the right setup ducks are hardly any work.
The very best for 2024 Chad. Lots of projects ahead for sure. Can't wait @@HiddenSpringFarm
Vancouver winter for the golden horseshoe so far.
You have such a great spirit
In Germany we love Schweine Schnitzel 🙂Or Kottletts,...thats "Schnitzel" with Bone.
In USA Schnitzel looks like a Hot Dog, haha.
But i know you are at Kanada🙂
Maybe try Kottletts with Onions,fried Potatoes with Dark Sauße.
Thanks for the Vid !
we visited Germany a while back and I enjoyed plenty of schnitzel, they were always too big for my Darlin to finish so I always got to eat hers too lol. I love the authentic apple strudel also.
Love your giggle
♥️
I had to put my 14 year old cat to sleep last week and watching all your videos, especially the barn cats, has really helped me out. Also helps that you are one of the channels that is easy to get into a loophole watching old videos and extremely personable.
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that, it’s tough eh. Well I do have a whole playlist of Barn Cat adventure videos to help, you just take care eh 😊
Chad😮...ihr habt das gleiche MIST WETTER wie wir🙈🙈🙈🙈
Hoffentlich wird es besser🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bei uns knallt es...tag und Nacht (Raketen und Böller)überall zu Silvester🙈🙈🙈....da sind die Tiere auch arm...und es stinkt alles sooooo...bach schießpulver😬😬.....
Wünsche euch einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2024🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lg.Manu 🙋♀️🇦🇹
Hey Chad, it so awesome to see the horses. I've been blessed to ride and show those majestic animals all my life. Yes it is really strange the weather has been.Have a great day.
Olive just loves you so much😍. The way she looks up at you is so sweet.
Awesome video. That was a good one. You are always happy and you laugh a lot. That makes my day better. We are really experience very hot weather here. Today it supposed to thunder and rain. Nothing so far. Very cloudy, it is like a blanket on top, so it feels hot and very humid. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
I’m new here…. What an amazing loving place!
Welcome to the farm 🧑🌾
I just love MJ the chicken. Such a personality.
Yeah he’s a stunner too with the black & white
I love watching your videos. The animals are so happy! ❤️❤️
😊
I don't know why I never saw your channel before this, but I'm so happy that I did.! I love all the farm and animal channels . I know what you mean about the weather. I live on the East coast in
Pennsylvania. The grass is still green here and it rarely goes below 40. See you again!
Welcome to the farm, I’m worried our garlic is going to sprout and then die when it gets cold again 😬
Love the sound of the rain on the tin roof of the claw crew house! Brings me back to my childhood, in west central Wisconsin. A friend a long time ago called this kind of day “a deep grey day,”. And when my children were young, I would bake on these kinds of days. There is something special about coming in from the cold, and entering a kitchen redolent with scents of cinnamon and other spices. Happy New Year, from the southmost tip of Texas, where the 🌴 sway gently in the warm breeze!
Oh big time, my granny used to make these old fashioned cinnamon rolls to were such an awesome surprise when coming home their tasty aroma filling the whole place.
I would make cinnamon rolls from scratch, too. When I got married, I asked my Swedish grandmother for her recipe for Swedish pancakes. She had no recipe, so I watched her make them, and wrote down the recipe. Which sounds good, except that she used an honest to goodness tea cup, and a tea spoon for her measuring utensils. So I had to figure out the actual measurements. Her last ingredient was ‘enough milk to make the right consistency!’ It took me 11 attempts to get it right! I have been using that recipe for the last 50 years! Good food from the kitchen is like nothing from the store!
I'm not sure how the chicken feed is made in Canada but here in the US alot of chicken farmers are complaining the feed is causing infertility & low egg production. One lady had the feed tested & it came back positive for a substance that stops egg production in poultry.
😊
Chad, how about some heavy clear plastic. we have had rain and fog for one whole day, non stop. Today the fog left because we had a windy day. It was around 50* today and fog early am and the Sun came out. Glad we have no snow, not even a White Christmas.
Hi all8
I use clear Polly house wrap to winterize - BC Canada
Climate change is affecting the world, as evidenced by extreme heat in places that weren’t use to it. I’m in New York and it’s been rainy and foggy this week. I’m hoping for a little snow in January. I’m surprised being in Ottawa you have not had consistent snow but it makes it easier for you.
Hi Chad! Happy New Year! Btw its still raining here in Kingston. This winter is really not usual! Very strange!
Happy New Year 🥳
😊 we are on a small hobby farm in Ontario with similar weather conditions to you.
Our 4 chickens are also down on egg production and the two younger ones don’t mind the rain but the 2 older ones are either wiser or don’t like to get wet!
My brain is being fooled by all this unusual warm weather and has me planning for the garden and berry plant propagation.
Always enjoy your videos and how well you take care of your animals and property.
Funny you say that cause I was pacing in the garden today…scheming and planning. Hope my garlic doesn’t start to sprout.
I think we viewers are spoiled for entertainment. To stay in the North American terminology of dreams and success, then you have long since passed the criterion of being down to earth. Continue do what you like and not what we like. We'll for sure watch it.
Great video chad, love seeing all your animals and the work you do around the farm. We have had lots of rain and flooding in Scotland. Weird weather 💦💨💦
Warm in Northern Ohio also, no snow, rain.
Do you ever bring the pigs food scraps?
Next time you go see the horses, take it a carrot. He will be your best friend for life. I hope they have some way to get out of the rain. All of your animals are very safe, and well taken care of. I am surprised too that no one wanted to buy your piglets. They are a pretty breed. The wet and cold weather are not a good combination. Maybe the snow ❄️☃️🌨️❄️ will come soon.
My Darlin said the same thing but it was just a spur of the moment I saw them and tried to call them over. Hopefully someone mine will take some free pigs cause this is not the best setup fur so many pigs. They should have sold months ago, I don’t dwell on it but need them gone as it’s too much work and manure.
Hello from SC told my friend about you from Vermont he has many goals to Justin Jenny and Chester, now Batgirl Cat Rescue , he's clearing his land has many goals he does need a tractor later to help clear some stuff from land glass pieces and stuff the gentleman who lived on land died and left so much stuff,he's cleared alot now has his cat son Chester. I've told my friends here in SC,and my husband. Your Darling has a wonderful hat those vegetables so big how is the chicken or rooster with hair coming out. I saw on another youtube family's chicken got those worms on their bodies they had to dip them and rub Vaseline on them to save them my dog got the blue fly eggs on him onetime layed the magets on him took 5 hours to get them off and put medication on him then his hips got arthritis or the hip dysfunction not sure how to spell. We have 3 inside cats 4 cats outside, and sometimes more and few opposums and racoon who come to eat left over cat food husband thought it was someone breaking in onetime I asked what Time it was guess what it was time they was coming out they drink all water I have out to I see in morning well time to feed almost 9am here thanks for sharing all your family and wife Darling two dogs and all babies. How long did it take you to get some of your equipment just asking maybe friend could learn something new from you to have great day.😊
Wow that’s a lot going on 😊
Your cats are awesome
Horses❤
I learned camping things while a pioneer girl a lot like Girl Scouts but with a Christian theme.
Yet another flood watch here.
Our town won’t flood but they used boats to save neighboring towns around Thanksgiving.😢
And our old house had 2 leaks in the middle of the night. Just annoying not devastating. 😅
Oh wow, well you guys just take good care ok.
@@HiddenSpringFarmwe are well for the New Year so thanks very much. I hope all stay healthy your way. 🌟
I love horses.
Becoming rich has never happened in my lifetime, but I never got on you tube to show it. Hmm, maybe I should.
I wonder wether Rabbit has a friend, I've understood rabbits must always be with two at least. It's easy to see how much you care about the animals, that single one kinda stood out
It’s a fair point, I’ve been trying to find him a new home for months now. The trouble with rabbits is two things really…you can’t have a boy in with the girls cause you’ll have babies every 30 days and you can’t keep the boys together either cause they fight. I did have 4 boys together and 2 died from stress of fighting so that’s how this single rabbit ended up in the barn alone. I’m working on it though.
@@HiddenSpringFarm So I just saw the Rabbitat video, I'm watching videos in a bit of a random order 😄 How cute were those baby's! And a great tunnel system too.
I watch a few Homestead channels in Canada and the States. Most of them have gotten rid of their pigs, their finding that it's far too expensive to feed them. That's probably the reason why you can't sell your pigs.
It seems like where I live in Toronto that it's been raining and foggy since Nov. I feel like I moved to the UK. 😅 🌧 ☔️ 🌫
💛 From 🇨🇦
Yes that’s what I considered also…the economy and inflation could very well be the reason.
Hopefully the neighbors havent had a life altering event that has affected the normal routine of thier lives! They are beautiful horses.
Love your videos of daily life on the farm.
What about harvesting pigs , preserving and selling lard. Slavic people would buy all of it. Here in US we pay $20 a pound of preserved lard (salted and seasoned).
It’s a last resort. To be frank I feel like I’m not ready for that yet. We would love the meat and lard ourselves too just need to learn a lot more about it and have the right setup.
For a clear covering you can try vapor barrier, 8ft wide roll . Works well for me vs finding a clear tarp.
I thought of that too but my vapour barrier is 10’ and the high side of the roof is 11’ so it would be too short, at least the tarps have grommets too. No big deal really.
Global warming I guess. No snow for xmas but mts. And plains did big time. Colorado
Maybe you need to raise your roosts above the nests
Some are level with the nests and some are higher, our Light Sussex have never laid on the ground with the same setup. Maybe depends on the breed? Interesting though might be something to experiment with.
Get your wife to cook a big pot of pinto beans and feed it to your chickens for like a week. It gets mine to lay a ton more eggs
Where in the gta did you go to scouts?
I grew up around Don Mills/Sheppard and the cubs and scouts was held at Shaughnessy public school or St. Timothy’s, just walking distance from where we lived 😉
Did you realize this year is a leap year!!!?? 2024 is bringing a ton of changes for all
Never thought of that. Does El Niño coincide with leap years?
@@HiddenSpringFarm I don't know if does but I suspect that it's going to change the dates or schedules we would normally be use to over past years. I think that our time change of daylight savings is making me SOOO confused cuz it's so dark so early.
That breed of pig is not ideal, unless looking for a pet. Slow to grow ,small, and as a lard breed not much meat but lots of lard. Kunekune is similar but reputation of great flavor and friendly breed. The pet pig industry is pretty small lol
Yes agreed and we got the pigs to keep as pets. The farm stay guests really enjoy the pigs and the piglets this year was a great experience. You’re right though you’d have to try to fatten them up first more than a year to get 100lbs. They are one of the smallest breeds. I like the kune kunes but they’re very expensive too. If we were to get a meat breed I’d try to get the kune kune cause they’re not really that big also compared to other meat breeds.
Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say this song was created in 1949 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer you and I weren't even born then and it says foggy Christmas Eve not snowy so we weren't born then we have to think about this if it was foggy then and not snowy so there is changes in the weather every hundred of years. Just saying it will be okay
Right on! Good ole Rudolph.
I would have been 6 months old then 😂

The earth is changing??? More like humans are changing, for the worst.
The earth has been changing long before humans, but I’m not a denier if that’s what you’re implying. It’s just semantics & me trying to keep controversial and political stuff out of my channel ✌️
No one can afford the farming taxes that Trudeau has put in to play. Please vote for Pierre, we need to eat. Hence, no one wanting to purchase your adorable pigs.
you lost me at the earth is changing
What has never happened in your lifetime? That your neighbor had horses right there in December? Weren't you alive in 2000? Temperatures went above 70 F in Ontario on December 27 2000, and over 75 F that same day in Ontario in 1972. Just how old are you exactly? Check the farmer's almanac before you say things about the weather, and stop with climate hysteria.
😊
