I love the way you call your farm family in at night. You take such loving care of them and their homes are really super. Olive is so cute with her toy and she loves you so much. I love it.❤❤
Maggie is such a teeny beauty and Bubbles is a true beauty❣ It’s such a joy to see how each of the family respond to you, and you to them. What a treat that you share with us 🤗
It’s one of my favorite things that he does… he has such a special relationship with each one of his kitties, including Bubbles… I believe that one day, Bubbles is going to shock Chad and jump up in His lap… I just hope that when she does that he doesn’t immediately reach to let her and scare her off… I had a kitty that was exactly like Bubbles in personality… it took a little more than 5 years of letting Mikey just be Mikey and not trying to force my will on him for him to jump up onto the recliner with me and then just crawl up into my lap and go to sleep… I was so shocked I didn’t know what to do… I wanted to pet him and love on him but I just let him sleep … the next day he did it again and again I just let him be… the next time he jumped up on to the recliner and crawled up onto my lap, he stepped up closer and then up on to my chest and he pressed his head onto mine… I knew then he wanted to be touched… so I obliged and stroked his head and scratched his chin… he curled back up in my lap to sleep and purred… I had never in the 5+ years since I had him, heard that boy purr! This became an evening ritual with us and for the next 15 years I got to love and pet my beautiful orange boy… I sure do miss my Prince Michael… he was definitely one of a kind…
@@ZippedUpKitz You were so lucky to be one of the chosen to be loved 😻Your ‘Velcro’ tiger 🐯 knew he wanted you as his angel on earth ❣ His purrrfect way of talking to you proves he was loyal 🐈. I miss my little girl as well. She was a tiny Chinchilla Persian who ran to greet me after work every day chirping to be picked up. She loved playing ping pong toss and candies with the twisted ends. She would tear about with one dangling from her mouth and talking at the same time just to drop it in front of you to be tossed for a game of catch. My Mom fell asleep with her arm dangling down and was woken up with a candy placed in her palm 😂 Her name was Mishou, because when I first got her, I didn’t have a name. I came home and called out, “where are you kitty, I miss you” and voila. The funniest thing ever was when I fell asleep upright in bed and upon waking felt a heavy stiffness in my neck as I turned my head. I opened my eyes and in the mirror could see her draped across the top of my head 😂 I miss her so very much. Michael and Mishou were one of a kinds 💝💘💝💘💝💘💝💘
@@leonafaryna7617 aaaawwwwwwweeee… I love that name! Mikey got his name after I got him as a young kitten… he may have been 5-6 months old…. I found him when I took my dog out for his morning walk… I hear something crying and then I saw this orange ball under my car by the wheel… I said, "well come here" and he tore over to me, leapt up on to my pant leg (thank God for blue jeans) climbed up and then Sat on my shoulder and meowed at me… I was like, "well hello to you too!" I took him inside, gave him a good look over, discovered a bazillion fleas and immediately put him in a bath to get rid of them… I was out of flea meds, so the bath had to suffice until I could get more from my vet…. I spent a good two hours using a flea comb to get those nasty buggers off of him… after he was de-fleaed, he settled in the bed that my other cats used and went to sleep… they were NOT pleased with the new addition lol… but he grew on them… I tried several different names for him but none of them worked,,, and one day while he was playing on the floor I called out a couple of names and got nothing… then I went, "Hey Mikey!" The little orange fur ball stopped playing turned and looked at me and meowed. I said, "so is that your name? Mikey?" And he meowed at me again…. So Mikey it was… even as a kitten, he didn’t like to be held. He would squirm and wrangle his way out of your grasp and jump down. Ok, so I just let him be. My husband on the other hand didn’t get the message lol…eventually he figured it out though… Mikey did like to play though and he loved to play "fetch." He had this little mouse toy that he carried around with him everywhere… he would drop it at our feet and then back away… we would toss it down the hall way and he would tear off after it and bring it back,,, we would play like this for several minutes or so and then when Mikey was done he would pick up his mouse and go lay down with it…he was the goofiest cat… the day he crawled into my lap for the first time, I will never forget… it was April 1, 2005… I’m not kidding either… when he did this I was like, ok, what’s the joke? Lol… but he continued to do it…. I miss my big orange boy… and I mean he was a BIG BOY… he weighed 22lbs at his highest… I lost him in 2021 from Bone Cancer…it came out of nowhere and took him fast… which I guess is a good thing that he didn’t suffer… while in my arms in October of 2021, he passed naturally in his sleep… I sure do miss him and will never forget him… for those of use who cats CHOOSE to love, we are given the greatest of gifts… I have a sweet little girl named Lily Rose that likes to sleep on my chest just under my chin… she helped heal the hurt in my heart when Mikey Crossed the rainbow bridge… she is the complete opposite of Mikey in personality … she loves to be loved on… and she is a chatter box too… I just adore her… if I could have a house full of kitties I would…but the hubby won’t let me have more than 2 at a time lol… oh well… at least I got the two I have…
Oh bless sweet Olive, it's still so odd to not see Molly next to her.😢But now I'll get to sleep with Olive close to my heart ❤ because I got my T-shirts!!! My big Olive t-shirt in cream and my black cats T-shirt in grey. Love them both! And your vlogs are fabulous as always Chad. Your farm is thriving! I think Molly has a hand in this, she's always close to you, Darling, Olive and all the farm animals including the claw crew. ❤️
Last night when I opened the back door to let Aliyah out to do her business, Lily, one of my two kitties, bolted out the door… she is NOT an outside kitty… neither is Sir Jasper… anyway… Lily bolts out the back door and I went out to collect her… the next thing I know, she takes off to the back of the yard zips around the big oak tree and then I see WHY… she had see a bunny… a very small bunny… but a bunny nonetheless… she was chasing this little guy around the back yard and thankfully he made it to the brush pile where I know his mama has a burrow… Lily sat there in front of that brush pile with her tail flicking back and forth and doing that little cik-cik-cik-cik think she does when she sits in the windowsill and watches the birds… I was able to reach down and pick her up and bring her back in… she was not happy with me lol… for the next two hours or so she sat at the back door and cried for em to let her out… "nope, not gonna do it! You are not and outside kitty!" I told her… she finally gave up and came to the recliner, hopped up on the arm and "told me all about how I .was a mean mama and she was mad at me for not letting her catch that bunny." She forgave me … after a while… 😂😂😂
It’s in hindsight now but all the buildings and runs should have been built with the caged floor. I’ll get to it eventually but it’ll take some time. At least nothing is getting into the turkeys though.
This was such a fun episode Chad! I really enjoyed joyed it… Wow, I never realized just how small Maggie actually is! I love her coloring! It’s so interesting to look at the other kitties and think how amazing it is that each one of them, despite Looking so different from each other, came from her! She has the orange that made Mango, the Black for Dexter, the Grey for Chunk and of course her "mini-me" Tango and last but not least, Bubbles with both the black and the white giving her that Tuxedo pattern… Each one of the kitties all have her coloring… and for those who say I forgot about FozzyBear, I did not… he's not one of her babies… he's the King though! Anyone who were to just come upon these beautiful babies would never guess that Maggie May was their mama… isn't genetics fun?!?
Shaking the tub of temptations to get the cats to come in at night is the secret. Also cats respond well to the call of “here kitty kitty kitty!” In a high pitch tone.
I shook the box of treats but it works occasionally only with our cats. It kind of worked with Tango in the video, but it’s almost like their freedom is more valuable than treats 😝
Great video again Chad. It is nice to see all the animals coming in their house at night. Thoughts and Prayers.Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Hello Chad, Ms. Olive and the Claw Crew and all the other animals. Enjoyed watching Ms. Olive. Luv her. One of your fans stated received T-shirt of Ms. Olive. I can't seem to find that T-shirt. I will keep looking. Bubbles is such a beautiful cat and I don't know why she is still so afraid. One in every crowd. lol I got my Thursday fix of the farm and looking forward til Monday. Luv the Farm. Chad, you and your Darlin have a peaceful and fun weekend. Until the next time!!!
If I need help gathering the kitties up outside, I shake the Temptations treat bag, and they usually come running. But, the tracker helps me the best. Hi Olive and Fozzy! Bubbles Girl, you are sooooo cute!!
Great job on taking the animals to bed! It's been a while since my last comment. I like it when you say "tu Lugano" to the ducks at the end its kind of funny. Fozzy and Dexter are my 2 favorite barn cats on the farm. I love when Dexter gives hugs to you when you see him 😅. And Fozzy is really cute too!
Oh wow the geese have grown so much.. so stinking cute to watch them.. oh the pussycats just love them all, hi olive your gorgeous.. Thank you so much for your videos, they always leave me smiling ☺
I can almost smell that cut hay! Gathering up the crew sure takes me back over the years-couple chuckles too😊 Takes a lot of patience but it’s fun, the fabric of farm life .👨🌾
I enjoyed watching you put your acreage animals to bed. Seeing the rows of hay brought back memories of growing up on a farm where we were put to work on the tractors as soon as our legs could reach the clutch and brakes( I was 12). Hay baling was kinda fun for me. I was glad to not be on the bale stooker 😅. Once we afforded the round baler, things were easier.
@@HiddenSpringFarm It sure did! I’m certainly not a helpless fragile flower of femininity lol. Tis but a hop and skip from running farm equipment for years, to helping with our skid steer 😁
Truth is they can still get lost, we have lost 3 cats that were wearing collars. everyone has a collar except Mango. I’ve tried everything with him…food, treats, morning, nite, I’ve tried to grab him but he’s not interested. He was fine wearing his collar since kittenhood but now he’s so resistant.
@@HiddenSpringFarm I'm sure he is!! Lol but I would still try. Lure him with treats, like up on a table so he will stay busy eating, then just slip his collar on. Even if it's just a regular collar with his name, phone etc on it. If u can't get the apple tag on then, just wait a couple days and repeat the process. It should work!! Mango seems like a pretty cool cat. I had 5 indoor cats and one outside cat 🐱 the one outside list her collar of course. Lol. The others in the house all had collars but only 2 kept them on. I did it because if they ever got out and got lost, they hopefully would be returned. The other 3 had no interest in going outside. Plus they kept pulling the collars off!! Eek🙀🙀 I also put a jingle bell on the collars so I could hear them. That helps a lot!! 😸😹😸
Would it be possible to bring Bubbles on walks with a harness? I really want her to get trained so she can go outside like the other cats, but I understand these things can take a lot of time and determination to get it to finally work out, it's not a simple solution as it depends on the individual in this case Bubbles herself. I hope there will one day be a way for Bubbles to be outside with the other cats in a way that isn't dangerous for her. Thanks for your videos.
Think of it like this, I try to pet Bubbles everyday sometimes multiple times a day. She’ll let me pet her once in a months time. I can’t even get to her so I can pick her up. I’d love her to be out on the farm but I’m also ok with her being the cat house kitty. I still work on her though, just yesterday she was acting weird and let me pet her (she bit me a bit but that’s ok 😂) my hope is to just keep earning her trust so she’ll be more tame but how long that’ll take nobody knows.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Yeah, I thought harness training could've been a helpful idea that maybe no-one mentioned before. But I suppose it's out of the question, and if she gets close enough with you she wouldn't need it anyway. My train of thought was maybe if she got used to being around you at a nearby distance, maybe she would realize its OK and do that with the harness off. But that's not really how this works. I feel a little silly for suggesting it. Thanks for your response ^^
while watering those young trees you might want to put some on the blueberry bushes. Like any plant that produces flowers or fruit, they use alot of water. Must be odd for the cats to go to bed at night, their most active time. They sure do love you. Many animals use the frozen method so you loose interest, hopefully.
That red toy that Olive carries around was deemed a bad toy a few years ago, A large dog got its tongue stuck inside it & I see it looks like that same toy !!!!!!!
I just found your video's and WOW! So much great stuff!! I am watching them all now! But I wanted to ask, do you guys work real jobs? Or how are you able to buy everything like you do? Thanks
Yes we both still earn a living, especially while we’re still building up the farm. But we’ve been saving money for many years too. Hopefully one day the farm business will be self sufficient. Appreciate the comment
@@timothymaimone8611 it could be done but really I don’t think I’d invest in the amount of parts needed to cover a couple acres. Plus it’s only while the trees are still young, once they’ve been in the ground a few years I won’t need to water them. If it was a huge problem I’d just get those watering bags at the base of each tree.
We’re all lonely, everyday something reminds me of Molly. Lots of responsibility bringing in a new dog, while Olive may like a puppy under her wing she’s changed since Molly and is not very friendly to other dogs. Not saying it can’t be done but I’m definitely not ready anyway ☺️
I don’t really know a lot about farm animals quick question is there particular reason why the pigs don’t do a little ranging throughout the day the ducks, the geese, the cats and so on??
The trouble with pigs is that they love to root the ground. If you have an area that you want to till the soil put pigs there, but otherwise pigs will ruin most areas so I keep them contained for now until I can figure it out.
Free ranging all with the right protective fences, dogs and geese… guessing you looked into already? Locking up animals deprives them from natural predators, habitat & instincts, Upsetting natural settings
I know you probably love Ms Olive, but the tone you use with her vs other animals is VERY different. I’m sure she’d love to hear some positive reinforcement when she does as you ask her to do!!
just last week I had a baby bunny get caught in a grate at my house and I had to scoop it up and free it and it was just frozen with fear just like that chipmunk, rodents get so scared they can't move sometimes
I love the way you call your farm family in at night. You take such loving care of them and their homes are really super. Olive is so cute with her toy and she loves you so much. I love it.❤❤
Little Maggie May sure does love Olive… I really enjoy your videos… you do such a great job!!!🙏❤️🙏👍👍👍

Yes and really she’s the only cat that has that trust with Olive. Dexter, Chunk and Mango will swat Olive in the face if she gets close.

I really love your videos and your farm. My house is for sale, waiting ...
So I can retire, buy property and create my own animal farm.
Oh that’s great, best of luck to you 😁
Thanks❤❤
Would it be possible to bring Bubbles on walks with a harness? I really want her to get trained so she can go outside like the other cats, but I understand these things can take a lot of time and determination to get it to finally work out, it's not a simple solution as it depends on the individual in this case Bubbles herself. I hope there will one day be a way for Bubbles to be outside with the other cats in a way that isn't dangerous for her. Thanks for your videos.
Think of it like this, I try to pet Bubbles everyday sometimes multiple times a day. She’ll let me pet her once in a months time. I can’t even get to her so I can pick her up. I’d love her to be out on the farm but I’m also ok with her being the cat house kitty. I still work on her though, just yesterday she was acting weird and let me pet her (she bit me a bit but that’s ok 😂) my hope is to just keep earning her trust so she’ll be more tame but how long that’ll take nobody knows.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Yeah, I thought harness training could've been a helpful idea that maybe no-one mentioned before. But I suppose it's out of the question, and if she gets close enough with you she wouldn't need it anyway.
My train of thought was maybe if she got used to being around you at a nearby distance, maybe she would realize its OK and do that with the harness off. But that's not really how this works. I feel a little silly for suggesting it. Thanks for your response ^^
Just when you thought trying to get the kids to turn in/go to bed was a chore 😅
😂
while watering those young trees you might want to put some on the blueberry bushes. Like any plant that produces flowers or fruit, they use alot of water. Must be odd for the cats to go to bed at night, their most active time. They sure do love you. Many animals use the frozen method so you loose interest, hopefully.
Yes and the blueberry & raspberry patch use even more water than you think cause the black geotextile warms up the ground.
@@HiddenSpringFarm that doesn't sound good if a drought decides to hit you.
@@bevfrench3496 lucky for us we have 4 underground aquifers hence the name HSF.
That red toy that Olive carries around was deemed a bad toy a few years ago, A large dog got its tongue stuck inside it & I see it looks like that same toy !!!!!!!
can the pig see clearly each other's face? could you make an round opening in the fence so they can touch each other's face?
Hello everyone I am new here
Welcome to the farm!
I just found your video's and WOW! So much great stuff!! I am watching them all now! But I wanted to ask, do you guys work real jobs? Or how are you able to buy everything like you do? Thanks
Yes we both still earn a living, especially while we’re still building up the farm. But we’ve been saving money for many years too. Hopefully one day the farm business will be self sufficient. Appreciate the comment
@HiddenSpringFarm Wow!! We all have 24hrs in a day, you just use them better then I do! Not sure how you find time. But I love yoir channel
Chad… can you add a watering zone for your fruit trees?
@@timothymaimone8611 it could be done but really I don’t think I’d invest in the amount of parts needed to cover a couple acres. Plus it’s only while the trees are still young, once they’ve been in the ground a few years I won’t need to water them. If it was a huge problem I’d just get those watering bags at the base of each tree.
Now we know why you named him Dexter.😇

OLIVE needs a partner in crime. It'll heal your heart. ❤ She's lonely too.
We’re all lonely, everyday something reminds me of Molly. Lots of responsibility bringing in a new dog, while Olive may like a puppy under her wing she’s changed since Molly and is not very friendly to other dogs. Not saying it can’t be done but I’m definitely not ready anyway ☺️
I don’t really know a lot about farm animals quick question is there particular reason why the pigs don’t do a little ranging throughout the day the ducks, the geese, the cats and so on??
The trouble with pigs is that they love to root the ground. If you have an area that you want to till the soil put pigs there, but otherwise pigs will ruin most areas so I keep them contained for now until I can figure it out.
Free ranging all with the right protective fences, dogs and geese… guessing you looked into already? Locking up animals deprives them from natural predators, habitat & instincts, Upsetting natural settings
I know you probably love Ms Olive, but the tone you use with her vs other animals is VERY different. I’m sure she’d love to hear some positive reinforcement when she does as you ask her to do!!
Where is the second sheep dog

just last week I had a baby bunny get caught in a grate at my house and I had to scoop it up and free it and it was just frozen with fear just like that chipmunk, rodents get so scared they can't move sometimes
Yes I’m sure that’s exactly what happened here.
🤣
