My Little Tropical Farm
Панама
Добавлен 14 мар 2010
This starts with our first week on our farm in Panama. We have 4 and a half acres that we purchased a few years ago. The farm has been neglected for a few years so it will need a lot of work to get it in good order again.

Too Many Eggs - What Do We Do With Them All?

Too Many Eggs - What Do We Do With Them All?
How did Red make out with the vet? How is her eye?
Not great. The vet came and didn't have an answer - which is unusual for this vet, he is very good and has sheep of his own. He consulted with another vet that specializes in sheep and I still didn't get an answer. He recommended an injectable for three days to get rid of the maggots that had gotten in her ears and that worked for the maggots but we are now trying something new (that I got from the US) for her rash and now wounds in her ears - I just can't really spray it around her eyes so it isn't going to solve the problem fully. It does seem to be helping but like I said I don't think it will help her fully. If I can get her ears healed I have another idea for her eyes but trying anything around her eyes will be hard. Sorry for the long answer!
@@MylittletropicalfarmI’m sorry! I hope you can find something to help her. That sounds awful.
Hi Nanci, Looks great! I have two questions. How often do you run into snakes when out doing chores? I am terrified of them. Seeing you walk thru the grassy areas has me holding my breath til you get “back to safety”,lol. Also, when you talk about the animals and how you will cull the boys to one rooster/duck/sheep, doesn’t that cause inbreeding if that male then mates with his sisters/mother? Or is that not a concern with the animals? Is one of the new mama sheep the mother of the boy that got them all pregnant?
Good questions!! I don't see snakes often but try to keep the grass under control so they don't have many places to hide. It is a balance of keeping it long enough for the sheep but short enough to not be surprised by a snake. The last time I saw a venomous snake (fer de lance) it was in with the ducks and while I went to get help the male duck somehow chased it off. I have seen 1 coral snake, I fer de lance and a two boas (the snake that ate two of my chickens I thought was a fer de lance was actually a boa) - these are all dangerous but only the fer de lance is both venemous and agressive. And I have seen green vine snakes a few times - they are not dangerous. To answer your inbreeding question - it does matter in sheep but I believe it does not matter for the ducks or the chickens. Unfortunately, that means that none of my lambs can be used to breed and will all be used for meat unless I can find someone that wants a pet. Thanks for the questions!!
Thank you for the tour ❤
Thanks for watching!
You are brave climbing up 😮
Love the babies. So happy for the puppies❤
Wow 😮great job on the fence.❤
It’s cool to get a look at the whole farm in one vid!
Dom, you should come visit and see it in person! I am trying to talk your mom into visiting too!!
I love the sound of the rain. Such a nice sound.
I love the rainy season!!
Fence is great!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!
Thanks!! Today we made plans to put a "creep" in the sheep shelter
Ahhhh! Such a cute baby.
They are so cute! I don’t know how you do it…I get tired just thinking about your workload!
I have been exhausted lately but mostly because I am still feeding the bottle babies every 6 hours. And it shows with all my mistakes (calling Ruby "Rose" and calling one of the mamas "he"). I am hoping to move that to every 8 hours soon but not with that little one acting like he is starving all the time.
PRINCE is a good boy name for Purple! Also Teal and Sky both good Blue names. And Blaze a good Red name. Yay for all the BABIES!!!
I like Sky for Blue's baby - that's a great one!! I also think Prince is great!! Thanks for these
Do you know what the name of the Breed is for your sheep ? Are you gonna milk the Ewes and make cheese 🧀 ?
They are Katahdin sheep. They are really meant for meat so I am not going to milk them. Although I would love to have sheep's milk for cheese it probably isn't worth the effort.
Congrats on the grandkids! 😁
Thanks Bridget!!
She is so cute❤
I have said it before, those are very lucky puppies to have found their way into your care❤
Thanks but with all the animals on the farm (they chase them) I can’t let them run as much as I would like. They are in their kennel most of the day. I would like to get them re-homed so they can really thrive.
Awesome Nanci good job on doing ur maintenance 👏 ❤
Thank you! 🤗
The Ram looks like the breed Barbados Black Belly
I had to look up the Barbados Black Belly. I hadn't heard of them before.
Nice work with the generator, knew you could do it! 😉
Thanks! 😁
Wow, the farm looks awesome. ❤
Thanks Annette! We are getting there but still lots to do
What are you using the taro for? I know they make poi out of it, but that’s it. Also, if you like sauerkraut, it’s really easy to make. We did it growing up. (I have no idea how much cabbage you’ve planted)
Hi Sam! They cook taro here like you would cook other tubers; just peeled and boiled. You can probably roast or fry it as well but I haven’t tried that. Unfortunately, my cabbage never germinated. I’m going to have to try again.
I am honestly impressed with what you have done with your farm. Good job👍
Wow, thank you!
I’d love to see a map of the farm. You have sooo much going on. It’s really cool! ❤❤
Let me see if I can put something together and show it on a future video. It probably won't be next week but I will try to get something on paper soon.
I’m curious to know what immunizations you needed or were required before moving to Panama.
Never ending work on the homestead 💪. I hope you are getting some rest in between 😻
Every few days I have a lazy day where I just take care of the animals and spend the rest of the day watching youtube videos and relaxing! This time of year is probably the busiest with January to April being a lot slower.
Hi, so glad I found your channel. What breed of sheep? Are you milking the ewes ?
@gregoriopuro They are Katahdin sheep. They are breed primarily for meat and do not supply much milk but I believe the people that owned them before me did milk them. I would love to have sheep's milk to make cheese but I am not really set up to milk.
Isn’t your fundamental problem that rooster? Without him, that broody hen can sit on eggs all she wants, but they won’t hatch. (Just don’t leave them so long they rot🙄)
Yes, but while they are broody they don’t eat well so I would rather they just don’t get broody. But if they are going to be broody they might as well give me more chickens.
@@Mylittletropicalfarm We never dealt with roosters…they were used for food & we bought chicks…and problem hens quickly became chicken & dumplings, so we also never dealt with broody hens (nor chickens who had been eating eggs🤨)
Wow, a year has gone by so fast. I'm so happy for you 💓
The year has flown by!!!
I have to say, I am impressed with the progress you have made. A year ago I thought you were crazy…the snake eating your chicken was a real low point🙄. Now if you can just reduce your flock of dogs you’ll be in good shape…I count 9, even if you don’t own all of them😄. Good luck! It’s not the life for me, but I am enjoying watching you from afar❤
There are 10 dogs. Eight are technically mine. I would like to get the puppies adopted to a good home but if not they are learning how to roam the farm safely and they will stay outside and hopefully sleep in their kennel at night. I think I am my vet's best client!!!
@@Mylittletropicalfarm I bet that vet is making a fortune off of you😄
Happy anniversary! ❤️🎉
Thanks! Time flies when you are having fun
That’s awesome!
They look great!
They are doing so well!! I was just stopped on my street today by a women that has two sick puppies. I told her I would take them to the vet tomorrow afternoon. One seems to have bloat which may be an emergency but they say it is doing ok and the other can’t gain weight and is sickly skinny. My vet will know what to do for them both. They probably can’t afford a good vet.
Neat place, Thanks for the tour🙏
Dtp = diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, like for humans?
No, that must have been what I was thinking but it is Distemper and i think Parvovirus. It is actually DAPP. The sticker from the bottle is on their medical record but it is too small for me to read (I'm getting old)
He lo❤❤🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
Wow, great job 👏
Puppies are sooo cute!
The puppies look fantastic. You saved their lives. Just shows what love and caring can accomplish. Amazing job Nanci!
Thanks! They are doing really well. I haven't done it alone. Everyone that donated to the Go Fund Me for the puppies has helped!!
Recipe for Golden Milk: 2 cups milk 1 tsp powdered turmeric 1/4 tsp cinnamon Peppercorn or sprinkle of black pepper Optional: ground ginger, anise Mix everything and simmer for 10 minutes. Then strain. Add about 1 1/2 tsp of honey to each cup of warm Golden Milk.
Looks delicious. I want to try to make some. And the puppies are so cute. They love you!
Thanks! I forgot to pin the recipe below but will do that today. You should try it. It is really good for you!
The link to the Go Fund Me gofund.me/b14ec486
Can you post the gofundme link? I would like to donate. I am a friend of your sister Lori.
Hi! Yes, the link is gofund.me/b14ec486 Thanks!!
@@Mylittletropicalfarm Just donated $60. Keep up the good work!
@@Mylittletropicalfarm oops! looks like I also donated $60 via Venmo. So, total is $120. You deserve it!
Thank you so much Richard. Do you want me to refund on of the donations. I am not sure how to do that but can probably figure it out.
@@Mylittletropicalfarm no. happy to donate the extra $.
I notice you have flipflops on. Are snakes not a problem during the day🙄
Snakes are less of a problem during the dry season but they are still a possibility. It was just too hot to wear the boots all day!!
Why did you bring fertilized eggs to your friend’s house to hatch instead of letting your chickens sit on them? Also puppies looking so much better! Go you!
That's a good question. I had one chicken that was broody (wanted to sit on eggs) but they had a bunch and didn't need more chickens. Or at least they didn't need that many more. So their chickens sat on my eggs and then when they hatched they came back here.
The puppies are getting cuter and cuter - they are super active now.
Wow, great job,, they look lot, better!!
Thank you ! They are getting much better. They are definitely acting better - very active.
Oops! Not happy campers, lol.
Yes, they don't love each other.
I am playing catch-up since I’ve been preoccupied with Jake’s wedding and Richard (I just took him to the airport). Those are lucky dogs who caught your eye!
Congratulations to Jake!! The picture on FB look great. It is amazing how grown up Joe is now. I still love to watch that video of Joe and Kyle at the sheep farm. The puppies are getting better and better every day!!
Thank you for caring for the poor doggies. They are lucky to have been found by you. I am so impressed by you and your adventure. Go you!
Thank you so much!
Another project on your list 🤗
Yes, retirement is very busy!!
Thank you for being so kind and loving to Lulu and Punky. Your kindness and concern saved their lives.🥰
4 roosters, 3 females!
Hi Orlando. I think you are correct. There are actually 8 of them but i think it is 4 roosters.
