    Wow! I’ve been watching you for two years now, I started when Bamboo’s egg was delivered. What a time we’ve had for the last 2 years, on your side things seem to be going fine, you have been working hard and have made so many improvements. That’s wonderful, I’m so happy that the blessings I prayed for you have been granted. Your boys are going to be turning into men before we know it. On the outside lands of the farm, things have had major changes, some good some challenging, some sad, but we tell ourselves that there’s always a blessing to be found at all times. You don’t know how important you are to all of us, in a world covered with masks, your faces are the few we get to see, always a warm smile, and a look of amazement on the boys faces as they get to experience all life has to offer on your beautiful farm. Spring will be here before you know it, but I think we’re going to have another cold spell next week, so bundle up, and stay warm. See you next time, your friends Chuck and Max

    It's the cold weather killing the batteries. Try getting them Indoors and stick them on a maintenance charge. Take them back in before night and you will have 0 problems. It often happens with vehicles too.

    • @whitehouseonthehill

  • @bluedrgn52
    @bluedrgn52 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Tip for next winter, as I sit here typing this in August (gosh I'm behind my TH-cam...) If you put blue insulation foam inside the box with your batteries (on all sides) it'll keep it working. Blue foam is the ultimate fix for homesteads, I swear. (You can also put it under water dishes to keep them from freezing, as well as several other things.) Though, generators are never a bad thing to have around for sure.

    After dealing with frozen water for several winters, I invested in a few heated poultry waterers. SO MUCH EASIER!! I do have power in my coop, though. I love watching your channel and seeing how you show reality in small farming. Often, chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc disappear, or croak, or are eaten, no matter how well you try to protect them. Thanks!

We were looking at different duck breeds and saw crested ducks and bantam (?) ducks. They are so cute! I wish we had land like you guys have!

    I'm in North Utah. We freeze all winter. For the horses I use a hand ax and a bait net. Only uncovering enough to get to water. The ice doesn't get as thick. For the nice rubber tubs I use a rubber mallet to break the ice out. If ice is thin, scoop it out with a metal kitchen strainer. Depends on how deep your frost line is. I cover the spigots with blankets and bungie cords.

As well as important "care" lessons for my pre school child. To teach my children that ALL things are a gift from God and the life of these animals have a purpose and deserve love and care and protection. Real life!! I appreciate your honesty and allowing us to see the TRUTH of farming and the responsibility that is so important.
    Thank you for sharing your journey and allowing not only me but my children to learn such precious and important life lessons they wouldn't otherwise be able to see. Its so important they see and not just read about life and GREAT responsibility that is NECESSARY of others including animals. Learning there is the gift of life and reality of death.. And how love and care can give even a little bird another chance at life. Reading informs watching shows its REAL!! GREAT Job!!

I think your brave as some of your birds stay alive in spite of the cold weather. That's a real blessing. I'm excited for all your adventures with your animals. I felt so bad that you lost some of your birds/ ducks last year. It breaks my heart when they get eaten or just escape just to be lost that way.

      No offense, but no one outside of Canada really knows or cares to differentiate Canadian provinces. But that's normal. If I were to ask you "What's south of Texas?", what would your response be? If your response was "Mexico" instead of Chihuahua or Coahuila, then you're being a hypocrite. (And yes, I absolutely had to look those up, because just like Canada, who the hell outside Mexico knows/cares about Mexican states?) The only reason the rest of the world has any idea about a few of the American states is due to the US's media presence, Hollywood especially. But even most Americans couldn't point out Nebraska on an unlabeled state map. "It's one of those states in the middle" will be your average answer for anyone not living in a state bordering Nebraska.
      TL;DR- To non-Canadians, Canada really is just... Canada.

    You can buy trough heaters for ur big tanks and heated buckets for smaller animals but i don't know what you could do for all the birds(other than the emus). You can em at tractor supply and other similar stores

    Agreed we started with two black silkies and 10 California White Hens. Like everything we last two within the first couple of days. It has been a week later for the chicks. We have been inspired by your farm life and going to give it a try.

    We currently have the same temps in Denmark as well. so my thoughts go out to you and your family. Let's hope the weather improves soon! to add insult to injury we had 13-14inches off snow the other day as well.

    I feel your pain, just this morning - 8 low and - 26 windchill here in southeast Minnesota. My feral cats haven't showed up in 2 days, staying hunkered down.

    Minnesota being living the dream with winter being here 😫 we have been getting -20 to -40 below Fahrenheit just this week only. And planning to get even more snow this upcoming week with very low temps 🥶🥶 and with my chickens laying still in these colds temps is just crazy only thing i got to worry about is frostbite for one of my hens since she has a bigger comb than the other 2. Glad spring is almost here!!

    You might want to consider running the generator in a location further away from the hay or you won't have to worry about that area being cold.

    We are currently staying in France. We look after two sheep and 5 chickens so we have to empty out their frozen water each morning but it's nothing compared to how much you guys have to do daily to care for all your animals 😅

      If you fill a plastic bottle with 1/4 salt, 1/2 (cooled) boiled water and 1/4 air and you put it in de waterbuckets, the bottle will keep moving and will prevent de water from freezing 🙂

  • @lenora2545
    @lenora2545 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Perhaps more bedding for all the animals? Bet they’d appreciate it. Snow predicted here in WA west state. We generally don’t get snow down at this elevation. Crazy. Stay safe, hope Slater returns.

  • @JZ-fu4cb
    @JZ-fu4cb 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think we all are fed up with frozen water! A simple solution we have found is emptying the water pans after the birds have gone to bed. They won't need it, their sleeping and it saves you from having to break solid ice during morning chores
