Hey guys! Your videos are super helpful!
For school I have to interview someone who has the same career I would like to pursue. I home school so I don't know anybody who wants to be a small scale poultry and exotic poultry breeder. If you could answer these questions, that would help a lot!
-When did you decide to raise poultry?
-What inspired you to do so?
-What do you enjoy most about it?
-What do you find the most challenging about it?
-Do you think raising poultry the way you do allows for a good balance in your life?
-What is one thing you wish you knew about raising poultry before you got them?
-Have you ever regretted choosing this career path?
-Do you plan on continuing on this path for years to come?
Thank you for your time!
I truly hope you get your answers... Great Questions, btw! Good luck with your students!!!
This guy is a horrible farmer. He clearly has family money. I've watched alot of his stuff and he fails at everything. I recommend finding a different mentor. There are tons of homestead farms that don't fail and use vehicles and pay ridiculous costs. Just my advise. I've only had chickens and mini goats but I know an idiot
I'm so sorry to hear of the female Mandarin loss. :( The Mandarins and Blaze are just STUNNING! I APPLAUD all that your family does on living and showing us "life on a farm". :)
Magash, I can't even IMAGINE the stress of hatching Mandarin eggs. Hatching shipped Ancona eggs was stressful enough 😬
Fun update from such a sweet family, and I'm so glad you have such great viewers! Precious gifts, card, letters and pictures from them!
Yes I love watching y’all open the mail!!
Those Are Really Pretty Birds! Already Concerned about the eggs...
Those Mandarins are so pretty, they almost look like dolls instead of actual animals. Their coloring is so precise and gorgeous!
PS... Any updates on the cows? Babies?? You didn't mention them in the most recent video so hopefully that means there's a surprise in store 💜
love the videos guys! Can't believe how cold it was last Wednesday and Thursday. Take care and keep up the great work.
I enjoy this family so much in their farm.Cant wait to see the latest episode.Children are so cute ..they will have great memories being raised this way..love them!
What gorgeous birds! Lucky find too! Love your videos they make my day 🧡
Their colors are so beautiful! Thank you for another amazing video!!!
That picture of Green Lantern hurt my heart 😞 Rip GL. So many gifts and cards. You are so loved! Hoping your mandarin eggs hatch!
You are such a wonderful family ! Thanking for being such good examples!
I so missed you all. I Kept watching for your videos . Hope you are putting out more soon. Those frozen eggs made me cry. Those are by far my favorite ducks
I get so excited when I see your videos! Thank you for always sharing your farm life with us! Super inspiring 🌸
I started watching your videos a few months ago and went on an absolute binge back to your first videos! I just love your homestead and after watching has given me the goal to someday be able to do this for me and my children. I especially love the hatching videos and the whole process. Keep doing what you’re doing!
U need to make a video about how the bees doing in winter
The music to go with what's going on in the video is always on point.
I can’t wait to see when that aviary is done, it’s gonna look so cool
I love your videos of your farm and sweet family. I’m a huge bird nerd and have several different kinds of poultry. Excited to see your aviary completed!❤️
Man I grew up watching you I'm 15 time passes by so fast keep up the videos guys will always love you and forever you inspire mee thank you so much
I just saw that your farm is in Easton, Mo. I lived in St. Joseph for about 8 years, my son was born there, then bought a wonderful house in Gower, a large house that had been a doctor’s house built in 1912, I loved that house. The marriage didn’t make it. I have lived in Leavenworth, Kansas for 27 years. So fun to know you are a neighbor of my former stomping grounds❤️❤️❤️. I just discovered your farm on TH-cam a few days ago and I am especially enjoy all your birds. I spent many many childhood summers with my grandmother in the Ozarks and know all about raising your own food. My kids only have a clue from videos🤣🤣.
I loved all the chickens huddled around the door of their coop afraid to get cold. I'd be the same way!
Eli, you're a brave boy to get buried in all that cold snow! I bet it was super duper fun!
Your red golden pheasant is absolutely stunning! What beautiful plumage! It's been so darned cold all over, I'm so sorry you lost one of the mandarins, they are so incredibly beautiful! God bless you all.
I just love your videos. They are uplifting and full of courage. Thanks for sharing. Really ❤️
What Beeeautiful Family...
💕🐾🐤💕🐾🐤💕🐾🦆
This is what we need more of! LIFE 🐔 LOVE 🐦 CHORES 🐣 PLAY 🐾 ANIMALS 🐄 BEING SELF SUSTAINING & BEING HAPPY [NATURALLY] & LOVING YOUR FAMILY❣
I dont blame the chickens for wanting to stay inside ... thats a coooold day

Its' always a delight to see a new Video from you guys!
the garage looks good.
and its fun to see you and the boys playing. can't wait to see the Aviary completed!
Love you people, the way you guys is living life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you thought of putting straw bales around the chicken houses?
omg ive been watching this family for YEARS
We've got a wild Mandarin in the flock of Wood Ducks that visit our dock everyday. Beautiful birds!!
Ooh they are beautiful birds, I really hope and pray the eggs are fine, great video 💜👍
I am invested, I need to follow the eggs hatching, I wish you posted when you candled them...
Such a beautiful family !🇨🇦🙏🥂
TY for sharing. Yes it is really cold but Jake and the family are enjoying themselves. Sadly some of the eggs froze. Jake is making great memories with the boys.
Hi all. I look forward to your posts. Wish you could do more of them cause we miss you.
you two are great parents and have a lot love for animals and hard workers:)
I love your respect for all your animals.
have you guys thought about putting a saltwater bottle into the water buckets? I've done this for many years for the feral colony that lives near me, and had to do this for my indoor cats last year when we got that nasty winter storm. All you need to do is super-saturate the water in the bottle with salt and place it into the water dishes. The water closest to the bottle will not freeze nearly as quickly or even at all in some cases.
Love ❤️. Your video and family they are so sweet God bless.
Frizzled chicken, how pretty is that. I've now seen geese w frizzy feathers that grow backwards,is it like that w the chickens? The mandarin ducks are so beautiful..good luck w the eggs,I hope they hatch.
The mandarin docks are gorgeous...
Blaze is looking so stunning. Cool that the mandarin ducks are laying eggs. Too bad that some were frozen. Stay warm.
You have a beautiful family
Becky is so cute! I just love her!
You all are an inspiration.. Thank you so much! Love from India ❤️
so excited for possible mandarin duck babies :D good luck!
You guys might not be perfect but y’all are my favorite
Emus in the snow. Not something they have to deal with in their native lands. It’s amazing that they seem to be still thriving. -10C to me is absolute freezing agony, as an Israeli Australian.
No fair! We had the same storm (we live a little south of you all) and weren't even able to make snow ball because the snow was so powdery. I'm glad you all had so much fun though!
your videos bring me such peace and comfort - thank you for sharing your wonderful animals. The Mandarins are so beautiful - fingers crossed for your incubating eggs. Again, thank you for yuour videos.
Thank you so much!
@@whitehouseonthehill Did they all hatch or at least a few hatch that you incubated? Hopefully, you will update us.
Oh I feel so bad for you having to do all your chores in the freezing cold. You’re all such hard workers, I wish I had your stamina and get anything done. It’s always so nice to see your family I love all of you so much. Your fans ChuckandMax
I'd settle for 10% of their strength & energy. Fibromyalgia & cold DO NOT mix at all. I keep my apartment so warm in winter that sometimes I wonder if my upstairs neighbor has much of an electric bill from heating.
Luckily I invested in a radiant oil filled heater & that keeps it a nice even temperature. So can keep it cooler now. Doesn't stop having to fight with my cat over who gets to sit closest to the heater. I've literally caught that cat cuddling the base/wheels of it before.
Hi
👋
@@whitehouseonthehill omg I have been following you since before you moved to the new house thank you so much for all your content can’t wait until you hit 1m
I hope and pray that the eggs hatch. That would be so cool to get so many of them.
What lovely cards and letters
Another wonderful story.
Just love these kids 🥰🥰🥰
Hi all, I had a thought when you were talking about the mandarins eggs freezing and I am sure I am not the only one. Is there a way to heat the box, heating mat? The only thing I know about birds is what I have learned from your channel. I know there are seed starting mats so seems like there might be egg box heating mat. I sure hope some of the eggs hatch out. I enjoy your Channel and your family.
i love the chickens being totaly "nope" and u guys playing withthe ice on the pond
new subscriber here, i like your farm with the different kind of animals. greetings from Perth, Western Australia.
Isnt it awesome to get so much love from all over the world l?
Any updates on the duck eggs?! Man I’m so excited!😍
Sarah me too.
1:47 cackling
What about putting a little thicker lining of hay in the bottom of the nesting box? Also, there could be a heating pad in the bottom of the box too. Not to heat the eggs but just to keep the temperature high enough so that the eggs can go through the night without freezing. Could be solar powered too which, if done properly could make it virtually maintenance free.
I love all of your videos you're the best love your kids
Is it worth putting a few bales of straw in the mandarin's coop to keep it warmer, or put in some compost and cover it with straw and woodchips? Might keep eggs warm for longer and increase the chances of them surviving long enough for you to collect?
You’re right. The hay bales would insulate quite a bit.
Better yet you may try putting the ducks in a heated shed next January. You may get lucky hatching some out then.
I really like ur channel the mandarins have to be my favorite animal on ur farm I want to get some ducks myself I love watching ur videos ❤
We loved going to the homesteaders of America conference and are going again this year as a vendor!
For an inexpensive water heater. I use aquarium heaters. Like the FreeSea 10 gallon heater.
Great video! Love those Mandarins!
Your dog is so cute and pretty
I found your channel an hour ago subscribed
Thanks!
Wish I could post a pic of my pets. We are in Canada. I have a pet duck, a Shepsky and I rescue parrots plus outdoor wildlife. Just came across your videos a few days ago. Thanks for being here!!
Love your family❤
ya'll can have all of the snow in Erie, PA. we had 2 snowstorms. the first one gave us 24 inches and the 2nd one just added on more 😭😂
Hello White House on the hill I hope you a great day and I hope your farm goes well☺️
Hi me and my family love watching all your farm vids!! We four Americana chickens so your videos help us get a lot of ideas!! And how are dolly a maisy?
This is a fun video y'all....Good luck with the Duck🦆 eggs....Thanks very much 👉🙏✝👀...👍
I hope them eggs hatch! They are now my favorite!!!!!!
Hopefully the eggs hatch and the ducks can raise the young! Can't wait for the aviary to be completed
❤ God bless you and family
Nice one sweet family 👍👌👍💞💞💞
You have the life everyone wants 😮💨🙏
Hopefully those sugar cookies were still good 😊 we love you guys!
I was wondering if you had thought of using a flat reptile heating pad at the bottom of some of your birds' nests? This could help with keeping eggs warm during the frigid months, so you could have less worry about them freezing (some heating pads have a built-in thermostat).
Looking forward to the aviary!
I love birds and I love all your birds and aninmals😊
Love ❤️ your farm .
🤞🏼🤞🏼Hoping for lots of mandarin ducklings.
Those boys are so GOOD & sweet, look like their mother! I really noticed how much when Becky was in her hooded vestments. So practical & gorgeous.
Great family dynamics. R u on the MO or KS side? I'm east of KCs suburbs about 30-odd miles. My bro is getting into some chicken breeds (he is an odd duck himself, lol!). I want to get him at least 1 frizzle & a white-crested Polish (1 of my favorites), maybe a silkie. I used to have a large mixed flock (from Murray McMurray rare of rare pullets)
MY AUNT BEEN TAKING GOOD CARE OF 5 CUTE KITTENS LOVE DAVID
I can just hear the hens yelling “shut the door!”
Great video to bad they froze love you channel it is how I got to love chickens.
Fingers crossed for the beautiful 😍 duck eggs 🥚
Love your content ❤️
Lots of love from India.
I seen a thing where you take a small crock pot and fill it up with water and have it on warm to have warm water for your chickens or smaller animals, you should totally get a small crock pot from a thrift store or something and see how it works out there for you guys for your chickens!!
