If the goal is to have live emu chicks then yes it's your fault. If you are really just showing 'content' well.. you had success. To call this 'nature' being 'nature' is a bit of a reach as your Farm is not 'natural'.. none are. I would suppose it just depends on what you what to accomplish at the end of the day but I will say that as 'caretakers' of these animals that you have accepted responsibility for... that IS your responsibility to care and take every step in insuring their safety... even from those who should instinctively know.
Ahh yes, watch over every chick that hatches on our farm for every minute of the day because an adult bird is unable to take care of their young as nature intended. Or better yet, he died from some natural cause. But sure, blame me.
It's not your fault! If he wasn't meant to live then nature took its course. Keep going and don't let these haters demotivate you
Tell me you've never raised a farm animal without telling me you've never raised a farm animal, this guy/girl/toaster goes first.
Farm animals can die unexpectedly. Especially babies. That's farm life.
@@whitehouseonthehill Some people have very strong opinions and lack the maturity to use tact, or the sanity to allow others to do life different.
Please do not let these people bring you down.
I watch your videos because you are real and I like to see different ways of doing things.
I hope you dont allow these little social media dictators to discourage you. It seems they are everywhere. They love conflict and attention. They love to feel superior to others by tearing people down. Its all they have. Pathetic really.
Some used to say dont feed the trolls. I personally think they deserve zero attention. Honestly, a lot of them are animal rights activists and its probably better to block them. They are likely looking for any oportunity to stir up some drama.
If they thought they had anything worthwhile or valuable to share they would start their own channel and open themselves up to the world. They obviously have nothing to offer so they try to drag down people like you that have worked your butt off for the things you have achieved.
That's nature. Noone is to blame. I'm definitely crying happy tears towards the end here. Fingers crossed for that little one! Great job, Bert!
It's not totally nature because emus are not native to the United States.
@@FynnOliverEmonSill That makes no sense... They still live and thrive here o.O
@@honiebird3789 thrive with care yes. Wonderful observation… Never seen them in the wild..
@@honiebird3789 thrive…. Hummm how many eggs have to freeze while they’re being nested on before it becomes something that seems unnatural.. just curious? Lol
NATURE does what it does... People who lack understanding are not helpful...EASY TO JUDGE OTHERS Then take log out of own eye. I know you guys care...things are not perfect in this world! I am sad too...but someone not in your shoes HAS NO ROOM TO TALK. Like back street driver! Even with goats bison or lambs first time parents are figuring it out!
I don't blame any of you. You're doing a great thing. Don't let people's opinions get you down. I love watching your farm and family grow.
Same here
I do to it makes me want a farm
Yesss I agree they did nothing wrong, and Bert still has a chance!!
Farming is such a rollercoaster, sometimes you do everything right and it's still not enough, unfortunately not everyone can be saved. I think it just makes every win even more special
Agreed 😊
well, as my grandpa used to say, "Sometimes, things just happen, and we don't know why they happen. The only thing we can do is accept that it happened and move forward, lest you get bogged down by what if's."
I love that! I’ll keep it with me in the back of my mind as a reminder thanks for sharing
The line of wise grandpa's.. love it
This is berts first time as a father, its a learning curve so lost of young chicks is almost to be expected the first few times. He will learn
Absolutely, 100% correct. New [animal] parents still have to learn how to parent- just like us! I have had many a first time goat mum lose a baby, I have had ducks and chickens abandon babies, first time cow mamas needing help to get it right.... sometimes they lose a baby regardless.
I was thinking this as well. I have Parakeets and have had some of them have bred and well the first time parents don't always know exactly what to do and can accidentally hurt the babies (which can unfortunately lead to their death). Just like us, they do their best, but sometimes that still is not enough.
Honestly this. With many bird varieties often the first offspring die or are killed.
So sorry you lost the first one. Maybe you could put a camera in there so if anything good or bad happens you'd have a better idea of why. I think people in the comments can be ignorant of how fragile life can be for animals. You can do everything right and still have losses. I personally love your videos and appreciate how well you care for your animals! You are learning as you go and making adjustments where you can! Please try not to be discouraged by people who react from an emotional place. They probably don't have the knowledge or experience to understand the situation they are judging. ❤
Agree. 👍 People who go out of their way to criticize others are letting their ego drive the bus and usually don’t have ANY experience.
Just seeing that last baby plop down when you lifted Bert, so cute! RIP first hatched baby, spread your little wings and fly
Unfortunately emu don’t fly. But it can run over the rainbow bridge really really fast
@@donaldduck9493 lol I know they can’t fly, I was more thinking they got little angel wings now 🪽
Blaming you for nature’s handling of life is wrong! Y’all are very conscientious and caring for your animals. It shows in every video you do. Those who blame you should be ashamed of themselves. I love how you share your ups and downs with us. It’s real life!
Jake I have been following your channel and family for many years and I don't think I've ever commented on your videos until now. I have watched y'all grow. And I have learned so many things. Y'all have inspired me. It's because of y'all I started my own flock. And raised my own birds. One thing that stuck with me the most....was that we can't always control what happens. Things happen and it, by all means, is not your fault. It's life. And it's nature..
People are going to find fault no matter what you decide to do because everyone thinks they know better. I know it gets tough to ignore those comments. But just know there are a lot of us who support you and your decisions. Y'all are great all the way around. Keep pushing forward! I'm excited to see more Bert babies!!!!
Thank you for your thoughts 😊
Not your fault Jake and people saying it is are just daft, yous are doing amazing 👏
While losing them is heartbreaking... It's Nature. Don't blame yourself. I would put a surveillance camera in there to be able to keep an eye on them with your phone. I hope everything goes better with the newest one.
Way to go Bert! Jake and family, I've been watching your videos since you hatched out Bamboo and it hurt to hear how deeply the comments affect you. After years of watching, I know just how much you care about ALL of your animals and how hard you try to give them the the best care. Nature is fickle and even when you do everything right, death can still come. I hope you know that the majority of us never blame you, that we see how hard you and your family work and the exemplary care and love you give your animals. I can't wait to see how the farm grows over the years to come!
I totally agree, hands down!!
Very, very well said!!! 👍
I agree. I am shocked at the comments people make. A LOT of self proclaimed experts watching videos and commenting on people actually DOING things.
Totally agree there Lauren. I've been watching about that long too and appreciate what the whole family do to take care of the animals and birds. Sending love to all at the farm.
You are not to blame, this is nature. What will be, will be. Congratulations for persisting. God bless you and your family.❤
How heartbreaking for all of you and Bert. Sometimes nature sucks.
Nature is Nature... not hard or soft... it is what it is....
Congrats 🫡🫡🎉🎉
May the baby emu rest in peace
As a 74-year-old former farm kid, you should never be blamed. Nature has a way of calling home those that it needs. Blessings to you and your family.
YAY , ATLEAST WE GOT ONE AT THE END ( MAYBE THE LAST EGG WIL HATCH 🤔)
Well done to Bert. 👍
YAY BABY! You all have worked soooo hard for these cuties! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Beautiful baby Emy, so sorry for the first one,
Whoever blames you is ignorant. You are very caring towards your animals. Sorry for your loss
Its basically natural selection and its a way for nature to teach and its the emus first hatching season
You’re doing an awesome job. Praying the 2nd one lives. I can’t wait for the next video. I love watching your family farm.
Bert is so cute, picking up3 pieces of straw to make his nest. He’s so attentive!
Oh my, I'm so sorry, my heart goes out to you. Ive been there, it HURTS!🥺 IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, people are cruel. I love this channel, watching it grow, how you share, beautiful! Much love and blessing to you and you family! Gosh, why people got to be so mean, like can't you see how upset he is in the video??? He, they are HURTING!😢
I'm sorry. He really was a little miracle and unfortunately sometimes that's just how nature is.
Congrats on #2!!!
My heart started jumping up and down for joy when I saw the beginning. Hugs to Bert! Hugss to all of you for the loss, I'm so sorry! What a roller-coaster-video! Wishing you all the best for success with the remaining egg and baby emus!
I didn't think they were going to hatch. Congratulations 🎉
Sorry so sad
Nevermind mind good ending.
I wouldn't pretend to know what went wrong with the first emu Bert hatched. But I noticed, the second one hatched mush faster. Maybe, the first one just wasn't meant to be. 😢
My thoughts exactly. I never hatch anything bigger than goose, but this chick took it time and the legs where not looking to good, I know some birds can look like this at being with legs ( button quails give me always hart attack in this department) but if something was wrong Bert might rejected,like it would happen in wild. I did grow up on farm and witnessed something like rejection off spring because was weak or sick off and not only in birds , just part of nature. Is sad but sometimes nothing you can do , you can’t be there 24/7 , this way rest off your animal would suffer and other things might go wrong on farm.
I didn't think they were going to hatch. Congratulations 🎉
Sorry so sad
Nevermind mind good ending
This was the first homesteader I started watching I just love them.
9:18, the door has a sticker saying "RUN-CHICKEN" and above, it is the land border of slovenia which is very simmilar to a chicken lol 😂
You have such beautiful chickens to sad that it die when I came back from church today one of our puppies was dead but yeah be strong and keep going I love watching your videos.
You all do wonderful things with your birds. There are always things that happen that can't be explained. It's nature and that's what makes your successes so great.
This made me shed a tear for all the little human babies that have been taken to a better place, no one would ever dare tell the parent it was their fault, when they were doing all in their power to change the outcome. This is just the reality of nature and it’s sad others don’t recognize this. Shows the world has so much growth to do
And now happy tears for that little baby at the end!!! Wow 🥹🥹
So sorry but yet a happy ending after all. Congrats, Bert!! (and family). I got hooked on your channel when you first got Bamboo's egg and have been with your family since then.
Bert I am very happy for you
Beautiful little baby, nature does what it wants no matter the intervention, don't let it get you down ❤
Well done burt you have got this
There will always be haters, it’s jealousy because you and your family are nothing but amazing. Blissfully allowing me to follow the trials and tribulations of a wonderful family. Please just keep doing what you guys are doing.
Congratulations! I am most grateful for the journey you have shared with us over the years! ❤️
It's a part of nature and life, as sad as it is. I'm so sorry you lost your baby, but Idk how it could be your fault. Hope all goes well with your new one! Best wishes!
Yay!!! I'm so glad for a happy ending. I was so sad for Bert and you guys. You're doing your best. That's all any of us can do. Way to go!
Please ignore the cruel remarks. I grew up on a farm and these things happen. It is not always sunshine and roses. You guys are great with all your animals and so loving. Be strong and know you always do your best and it comes across loud and clear. I love you guys and know you are very conscious of doing your best always.
Congratulations Bert you did it.
So exciting! Bert is finally a Momma 😂😂
Condolences. The loss of a baby is always heart wrenching. Keep your heads up
Hugs hugs. You are all amazing. I’m so sorry for the loss of your little one.
Yay Bert
Wow emotional roller coaster. Fingers crossed.
Its not your fault its okay things happen but that doesn't mean give up it means get up and try❤❤❤
You are doing everything you can. You are not blame. I think your family are fantastic and I have learned so much from you guys. Thanks for all that you do for the many animals and birds that you care about. You guys are amazing.
Please don’t worrying about what other people say. Just keep doing what y’all doing. Y’all are doing everything right
What a wild rollercoaster of emotions..!
Thank you, Ike
I'm so sorry for your loss..
don't give up!
So sorry for your loss of the little one, I've followed you for years and know you love all your animals xxx well done Bert getting number 2 hatched, fingers crossed now xxxx
Awe So Sorry 😔
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That’s so hard! Thank you for sharing the joys and hard moments.
Congratulations! It finally happened. I'm so happy for you!!
Don’t let the negativity discourage you. Y’all are amazing. Stewards of your birds
Love it ❤❤ thanks for posting great content
We love your videos, we've been following you from Chile with my son Damian, who has learned so much from the way you express and feel in your content about Emus, Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks, and all kinds of animals you raise on your farm. Keep up with your content, it entertains us a lot. We know that the little emu didn't survive, but we are hopeful that the others will emerge stronger. Greetings from Chile.
👏 congratulations Bert! So very happy Bert hatched but sad it passed
I don't blame you, sometimes it just happens. May the tiny little chick rest in peace but also may the new one fill any void that was in your heart after the other one passed. Count your blessings and don't dwell on your grievances which is definitely easier said than done but you have more supporters than haters. Have fun with the 3 little ones though and congrats!
No one should ever blame you guys. You all farm and parent like the old days. Back to basics, morals, responsibilities, and consequences. I think you are awesome, and they way you treat your animals show too. Great job.
Omgosh 2 hatched under Bert!!! That's incredible!! Everyone is an expert on the Internet, you're doing the best you can do! I can't wait for the next update.
A happy ending to the episode. It's sad to lose one but another came to see the light. I hope all of your efforts bear fruit.
You all are awesome. Anyone can see how much you love your animals. Ignore the hateful people. You aren’t to blame.
Not Your fault !!!!! Mother Nature is in charge of these things.
nature is just nature whether we intervein or not. I think hatching some inside in an incubator and leaving a few for the emus to hatch on their own gives you a greater outcome. I have always wanted an emu but cant where I live so I love watching emu vids.
Bert is the best. So, loyal & loving ❤
Love you guys
Just let the haters hate
You guys are doing a wonderful job
And everything you're doing right now with emus is all experimental
You'll get it down
And everything will be perfect in the end
Right now you're still learning
But so are they
They haven't been parents before
They don't know how to do this
so just keep trying
No your fault!! Just to let you know I learn a lot from watching yalls videos!! Watching y’all’s failure has helped me grow my peacocks. I got 8 baby peacock couple years ago! Everyone of them died. Watching your vedio had helped me figure out what happend. Happy to say now I can raise them no problem because I know what to look for and watch out for! You was just giving Bert a chance to do the natural thing!
FINALLY!!!!! Congratulations! Y'all must be SO excited! 😍🥰
So exciting ❤
Without knowing the exact cause of the death, no one is to blame. Based on years of raising poultry (I’m retired now), I believe the hatchling emu was what breeders call a straggler or weakling. They are not uncommon. It took too long for it to get out of the egg, its feet were clenched (you noticed that), and its balance was unstable (flopped around). Compare it to the other hatchling and the difference is readily seen. Chances are that no matter what was done, it would not have survived and its death could not have been prevented. Stop the misplaced blame and concentrate on the successes.
I love watching the family and farm grow.... good job ..❤❤
I just love your videos. Little Bella is growing so fast! You are such a beautiful hard working earnest family. God bless you all. Thank you for sharing with us your amazing life.
You did your best. That is all you can do. All the advice comes from people that never hatched a big bird.
God bless you. We enjoy your channel.
It's not your fault.❤
Oh dear. God bless your efforts. 💕💕💕
I was in tears.. so happy. I’m glad I read b4 I seen.
I am sorry you lost the chick. People often judge us thinking they could have done it better. I am also happy for your successes. You have such a heart for animals. Don't let the hecklers get to you.
Those who think they could have done it better are those who have zero farm experience, therefore no need to take their opinion on board xx ❤
Jake, Becky, and Family,
No one should blame you for this emu not surviving. You did absolutely the right thing. Ernie needed to hatch, and take care of the emu. In nature these things happen. I have said a prayer that Ernie continues to take care of this emu, and it survives.
Hang in there!
Hugs to Y'all.
You take very good care of all your birds. I can see your heartache when something goes wrong. Don't blame yourself.
I don't post to the videos but I wanted you to know that I have been watching your family and the journey . I am a city gal but have been so touched by your compassion for the animals and how you have done your very best to see them thrive and your sadness when things go badly. Your have been an inspiration to the human/animal connection. Lets hope that Bert and you will have success in raising the little ones. Sharing your life has been a highlight for me and i always look forward to the next video.
It's a double edged sword. If you know you have done everything possible for these eggs to hatch successfully and the hatchlings to survive, then there's no one to blame. Even in the wild, nature will take its course and only the strongest will survive. I know it's heartbreaking to lose them after all the work you put into this. Just know that you did all that you could.
You did fantastic taking care of all your emus.
Big love and blessing from my family to yours xx love from southern Tasmania, Aust xx
They think and feel like people, animals are the most precious thing that people have.
What a success at the end though, through tears success happens...
Sometimes you cant be there for your animals 24/7. You have to tkae a break, you habe to look after you and the kids needs .. dont beat yourself up as much as you have. Its amazing bert hatched 2 so far this season... Hopefully he will get more next season ❤️
It's just the way life is. You guys do a great job
Thank you for sharing. When the music changed to a minor key I had a feeling there may be bad news at some point. I have my fingers crossed for your surprise ending!
Such a cute bird ❤. Keep up the great work 😊
Keep up the great work. You cant please everyone. Big hug from Berlin.
I'm so so so sorry. I hate it, too. I so wanted to see the new guy playing with the other two.
We still may get our wish.
omg i was bawling at the end and got shocked and happy, congratz
Oh how exciting don't leave us hanging! You guys are doing awesome 👍🏽
