We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.
Love to see the animals enjoying life on the farm. You do am amazing job of caring for them. Best wishes for a very successful 2024.
❤️❤️❤️
Happily watching ducks 🦆🦆 from England ❤❤❤
Right on 👍
Interesting information. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.

Thank you for explaining the job the ducks do on the farm. I always wondered. Hi to the kitties!
You bet!
This makes me really curious about what ducks do on my wife's uncle's farm here in Vietnam. He has like 100 of them, so I'll have to ask him what they do.
I love how excited the ducks get when they see fresh water being poured.🙂
Oh yeah they only swim in the fresh stuff 😆
I love your videos and my 5 year old daughter too we are leaving our apartment we are moving to a house in the north of Spain but I will start growing chikens first. Congrats for your channel big hug from Spain
Awesome, enjoy ur new space…Spain is beautiful I hear.
My daily dose of north country horseshoe valley farm life education! Love your little menagerie of friendly feathers and fur. As I said, if I ever get up there a Timmy’s coffee and a couple of donuts are my treat. You deserve it.
Haha YES!!! 👏
Good morning to the duck and goose families! Have a wonderful day, Chad🙋♀️
Thnx, you too have a great week 😊
Great informative video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on raising ducks and geese on the farm. 😄👍
Our pleasure!
When you talked about how the ducks keep the insects under control in the orchard, what came to my mind was the insects hearing the sound of their impending doom as the ducks started to bear down on the bugs' positions. I couldn't stop laughing, and explaining why I was laughing to my wife was hard because it's such an odd thing to picture. Thanks for the big laugh! Greetings from Vietnam :)
❤Chad......da wird Dein nächstes Projekt...vielleicht ein Teich für die Enten und Gänse sein😅😅😅😊❤
Lg.Manu 🙋♀️
Maybe this summer
Lovely ducks, wish it was spring 🥰
I think all our animals wish it was spring, including me 😜
You're NOT a lazy man!
Haha 😉
I love your channel! I know comments help you with the algorithms. Soooo. Thanks 😜

I love baking with duck eggs, they make everything taste yummy.
I totally agree!
I enjoy all your video, i learn a lot
Glad you like them!
Love your ducky story. You’re the best critter dad. ❤️
Aww thnx😊
The ducks are happy just doing their thing ❤🥰I enjoy watching them 🤗
Yeah I can tell they’re like me and can’t wait till spring 😆
I really like it when animals and people work synergistically like that :).

Glad you’re enjoying 😉
Thanks again Chad for putting up a wonderful & informative video.🦆🦆🦆
Glad you enjoyed it, thnx 😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing this with us. God bless you and your family. 🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
Watched your video on your Khaki ducks. Bought two last spring. Lucky I got two females. My cousin wanted to get rid of a male. I took him in before the girls came. He was is so funny. They are entertainment. I call them the "G" family. George, Geraldine and Genevieve. Thanks for the tip about brewer's yeast. I run them together with my chickens so they get the layers feed and I mix wild bird seed and whole corn in the feed. Just love them.
Nice, ducks are entertaining indeed 🥸
Great video Chad! Geese and ducks are so similar. We didn’t know about the aortic valve piping straight to their feet. We of course just have geese (4 varieties) but learn a lot about their care from your channel. Do you have a specific ration of the bakers yeast to feed?
We have to admit your make the ducks look like a lot of fun!
Aww thnx, water fowl are pretty incredible eh. I don’t measure the stuff I just put a jar mixed in the feeder 😊
Love my Ducks too Chad. I think the noisy ones however are the Ducks and not the Drakes. My Drakes make very little sound compared to the girls but one problem this winter had been wet feather on two Saxony Drakes. really hard to shake.
You may be right. I’ve noticed our white ducks seem to always look damp, I’ll bet it’s affecting some of them here too.
Only Females quack. Males make a low murmur noise.
Good morning Chad 🫡
👊
Absolutely beautiful sharing adventure documentary countryside content video and a very interesting video to watch .. gorgeous filming edition captured footage and the filming edition captured camera work looks super awesome super sharp and clear .. thanks again
They look so happy waiting for spring.💕💕🎶🎶
Yeah for sure they want some bugs
I adore your lifestyle and appreciate you sharing all the critters!! Thanks so much🎉🎉🎉
You are so welcome!
A good feed will have niacin and yeast added. The feed I use has 5 different yeast and niacin. Occasionally I get some romaine for the geese during the winter. 19 goose eggs from 2 girl geese so far.
Wow our geese haven’t started yet, still too wintery I guess. Here in our area there are only two places to get feed…PeaveyMart and a local co-op and they both carry the same 3 different types of feeds. Canada is limited unlike in the US and other countries that have so many people therefore more options. Most feed have generally the same ingredients though don’t they? What brand do u use?
@@HiddenSpringFarm Usually Earth First starter and layer with some kelp and herbs added and always egg shells fed back to them. Got a bunch of Scratch and Peck organic on discount as well recently. Organic cracked corn always for both geese and chickens.
They need a pond!
They would love a pond, but they don’t need one. It’d be frozen over from about mid November until April anyway. It may be a project for this summer but we’ll have to see.
We keep our ducks on the garden bed all winter to fertilize 😂 ever have one with a broken leg? Out pour baby. Also two sheepdogs here too! ❤
Never had one with a broken leg, it would have to be set and braced somehow I guess. That’s not easy.
Morning Chad. I love watching your ducks waddle. I feel like those drakes complaining about winter. When is spring???? Quaaaaack, quack quack!!!!!!!
Yeah they’re so funny 🦆
Sending you positive vibes from the uk.i really appreciate your content.
Aww thnx, cheers
Thank you for sharing great information love the ducks and geese😄👍💜✨
Have a good day today Chad!!
Thanks! You too!
The ducks sure are tense, nervous nellies or fraidy cats as we say in Wisconsin. 😅
Yup, even though I hatched them, raised them, handled them they still keep their distance.
I love ducks.❤

Awe, so sweet.
I like your ducks, and ducks in general are fun . have you given your ducks peas yet? I hear they go crazy for thawed out frozen peas. muscovy ducks are a tropical breed that can't handle cold as well as others, they are the exception to the rule as they can actually freeze their feet. Ducks are fun ,very fun but messy, very messy haha.
canned peas have worked for baby geese
Yes they do enjoy peas. Muscovies are tropical but my understanding is that they do very well in the cold also, they are a very popular homestead duck up here in Canada. They definitely need a place to get nasty.
I'm in Manitoba, a bit colder then you and yes they are hardy but they are the least hardy of all ducks as they can freeze their feet and around their head.@@HiddenSpringFarm
I asked you this before, what is that word you keep using to call the geese and ducks up for the evening? I find it an interesting word and find it amazing that they seem to know what it means.
“Tulugan Na” means “go to bed” in Tagalog (Filipino) I’ve been saying it for 3 years so I hope they’ll listen without Olive helping me. Ducks are very easy to herd anyway, all I do is walk and they run away in whatever direction I’m not.
Good morning Chad!!!!
Morning!
Name one of your chickens Jerry Lee , after the singer Jerry Lee Lewis.😊
How do you keep them from flying away? Sorry if someone else already asked.
Unlike wild ducks, They can only get a few feet off the ground.
Have you ever thought of putting up a bat house?
Yes I actually researched how to build a few as we do have bats here. A single bat can eat up to 600 insects in one night so they’re incredible insect control. I’ll get to it eventually.
What is the phrase (not English) that you say to the ducks when you're ushering them back to the duck house?
Haha "Tulugan Na" basically means "go to bed" in Tagalog (Filipino) Ducks are easy to herd back to the house but one day if I have a pond and need to get the ducks back to the house I'm hoping I can shout that phrase and they'll be trained by then. I thought it'd be funny since my Darlin is a Filipina.
Duck are fun. Thanks for the vid
