    Your Intro makes me think of this...."As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longer after Thee. You alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship Thee." Psalms

    I'm a city girl but I would love to have some chickens. It's not allowed where I'm at but would love to have chickens. Your homestead looks so peaceful and beautiful. I know it's hard work but to look out your window and see wildlife and the gorgeous scenery. My dad was from Seivierville and I loved visiting there. I miss him.

    I have raised several breeds of Bantams. Some of my favorites, Cochins, Japanese, Silkies, d’Uccle- mille Fleurs- they are gentle, tame, colorful, good mothers. Have you raised them before? Love Banty 🐓

    I had silkies, But the red tailed hawks preyed on them and after they discovered they could drop into the silkie run In the course of a summer they had all been taken, and some times consumed in my garden. Hawks are protected here So I never replaced the silkies My grand children had made pets of them. How we missed the fuzzy little birds.

    Like the chicken run. Really nice.Tucker milling has good feed. We use it for Turkeys, quail and cornish cross. We keep ducklings out of general population for 3-4 weeks. Ducklings get Purina Flock raiser crumbles. Really good feed for babies and mommy can eat it too. Really glad your enjoying your new farm. 👍👍

    I agree with so many of the other commentators, it’s great to see you again. And it tickled me to see the duck with the silkies. I imagine he is wondering what kind of world he’s living in. Like Dorothy in the land of Munchkins

    Patara, I don't often comment but wanted to let you know I have been following since the beginning and truly appreciate the value of your videos. Your silkies look great. I have had silkies here and there over the years, and they are great little birds. If you think silkie babies are small you should see the Serama bantams that I raise.

    I have a mean silkie! I think it’s a hen, but not sure. It is as big as the rooster but no crowing. No waddle, just black knot on comb.it attacks every time I feed them.

  • @ritabrunetti381
    @ritabrunetti381 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Patara, was it wonderful to see the deer! And then were those ducks just passing through? Your coup is so cute and the Silkies look great. I can understand how they may be your favorite breed.

    Hey girl, just curious as to how you removed the mud from the hens foot. We had wyandottes and had this mud problem. We would soak the feet in water. Easy,peasy removal. Glad you are back.

    Patera, you look good and healthy. I think that’s a good sign. We are trying to make retirement plans. It’s harder than I had imagined. Just when I think we know our plan, it changes. Let that be a lesson for all of you who are in our situation. Plan early🎃🦃🍁🎄🤷🏼‍♀️

    Oh my goodness, that silkie you're holding at the beginning is so flipping adorable!! 😍😍😍 I also want to have a "nursery" area for my mommas when they hatch out their babies hopefully this spring 🥰 Can Silkies handle freezing temperatures if they have a dry, draft proof coop?

    Our hen just had 2! They hatched, but died 2-3days later. 😥 She had 1 about 3 months ago also died 3-4days after. What could be the problem? They look healthy at birth.
