SUBSCRIBE and help support the channel. And don't forget to drop a comment. It helps us to build this channel into something special. 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, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of 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.
Thanks for watching folks, be sure to stay till the end and click on the video of the Timelapse building of the chicken house 😁
I was wondering, out of the four breeds which one is your favorite and why?
Another great day at the farm. Thanks for the education on the chickens
I love this style of video that you do, you feed us information but also take us around the farm almost vlog style, it's like you're giving us time to process the information you've just given us. Please don't stop this kind of content!
I sooo want to give hugs and petting to Olive and the claw crew 🥰🥰🥰
@@Scot_WestTexas haha Olive will paw at you all day asking for pets, especially if you’re talking to someone she’s always trying to get your attention.
The turkeys are looking great. Olive is such a precious pup. The claw crew is so loveable even
Though they are working cats. The goose is getting friendly too. Thanks for another great video. Hi, Remi.
Thanks!
@@jfarmer305 Wow! Thanks for this, much appreciated 😁
Loved your information on the chicks and the inclusion of our favorite barn cats. 🐈🐈⬛
Oh wow! Even all the birds love you! Goosey is certainly doing his job of protecting his flock. Is that the same one that lets you pet him? He is loving that gentle hand on his back! The turkeys are interesting to watch and they sound soothing in a way. Learned even more about chickens, especially Freddie Rooster…..Mr Big🩶
Very interesting and very educational. I love the goose that you are patting. I am pleased that you handled them while they were babies.
Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
🎯🎉 . . G👀d to see all is well !
The overhead sun really brings out the colors of the birds .
@@raycatlin3554 yes, most of them are looking full and plump ready for the cold weather.
A very educational video, thanks for the video
@@JH-ml5cp perfect! 👍
Your farm has become my happy place.
@@user-es3zh3jk5o Awesome 👏
Turkeys are getting sooo big!
@@denisest.laurent8001 yeah and I love the noises they make, I can hear a few different sounds from them in time I’ll learn what they mean.
Good morning. Love starting my day on the farm. I think you've made a friend with the goose. Have a great day! GOD BLESS Y'ALL!!
Perfect, hope you have a great day.
I love eggs, delicious and so nutritious, I often eat ham steak and eggs for breakfast.
@@andresdelcampo6733 ham & eggs are one of my favorites. ( I add a drizzle of maple syrup to the ham) 😉
So informative today’s video about your 4 chickens breed. I enjoyed watching it.
@@vilmamagtulis9880 that’s great thanks 😊
You can tell you spend crazy time with your animals. The love is apparent.
Great video Michael Jackson sure is a gorgeous roo sooo pleasant ❤

Morning Chad. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your birds. They are beautiful. Have a great day everyone 🌞
@@RJH_LIL that’s great 😀
Your hexagonal hen house is a work of art, good to look at and totally functional 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@avisgibson5964 yeah it’s fairly efficient. Thnx for the comment 😁
Good morning Chad. Thank you for the chicken update. You are extremely knowledgeable about fowl, and I one appreciate it.
The turkey are beautiful.
@@tammybrazeau1213 aww thanks 😊
Good morning Chad!!!! Hope you have a blessed day and the rest of your week is filled with happiness!
Good morning!
Great video, Chad! 😁👍 I love all the chicken information and watching your farm animals do their thing, they’re funny and beautiful! Thank you for making these videos, they’re are really helpful! Hope you have a great day!
@@ewokfuzzy my pleasure, appreciate the comment 😁
I love how you talk to all the animals. I would love to visit your magnificent farm❣️ Maybe some day 🙏😍. Outrageous blessings on you and your wife 💕🙏
It’s so nice when I meet people and tour them around the farm who know the place from RUclips 😁
So do I I whish I could afford the trip and stay.
All your roosters are calm
👍😎
Very interesting! TU🙏❤️🙏👍👍👍
@@DJ-bd9sf 😁
🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
Early bird gets the worm😊AND geese and chickens and ducks and turkeys and lol.
I live in south Florida and have been focused on the hurricane the last few days. Waiting and watching your life is soothing and inspiriting.
Thank you so much bud.
✌🏼
@@Chromedome456 oh man, what’s going on down there is unbelievable. Sad to see. Sure hope you’re not right in the hardest hit areas. All the best.
@@HiddenSpringFarm we are safe Chad. Thank you 🙏
@@Chromedome456 right on!
So nice to see the young geese are not chasing you
This group seems much more calm
@@waddleinnhomestead yes, I worked really hard this hatch to bond with them. The one that likes to be pet is definitely a girl, the other 3 might be boys but I’m still observing them.
Another gread video, Chad! Your videos are always enjoyable and I always learn something new. Keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
@@HiddenSpringFarm I was wondering, out of the four breeds which one is your favorite and why?
@@PriceOfLibertyEternalVigilance I personally like the light Sussex. Very pretty white and black.They are a very hardy bird, very calm and easy going. I can just pick them up whenever I want.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Thank you. I've never had the light Sussex breed. I think at some point in the future I will try them. BTW, sorry about Molly. Do you think you will get another friend for Olive in the future? All my best.
So interesting to know about the individual breeds of chickens, TYFS❤So glad your channel is growing, you deserve it, you work so hard🤗
@@VintageStylebyJo yeah, gaining subs everyday, but the hard part is turning them into regular viewers. I just passed 167k so not too shabby after 4 years.
Where have I been? That’s the first time I’ve seen the Tom turkeys fanning their tail feathers! Beautiful stately birds. Very interesting the characteristics of the different breeds of chickens. Years ago all we had were white leghorns and road island reds. I remember we had a mean spirited leghorn rooster that I feared when gathering eggs for my grandma. The good old days! Love the sweet goose I call Ramona with the blue eyes. 🪿🥰😺
@@jfarmer305 off all our roos, Elvis the black leghorn is the meanest although still not that mean. Elvis has attacked my shins twice in 4 years, the others roosters have never attacked so a few attacks in four years is not that bad.
Loved it!
@@hlmoran417 awesome, thanks 🙏
Thank you Chad for all the infos about your chicken breeds. As a woman who lived in a city during her whole life I am totally ignorant about farm life ! Have a nice day 🙂
Our pleasure!
Beautiful animals. I love the set up for all of them. Best farm I ever seen. ❤❤😊
@@cathymcgee1674 Wow! Thnx 😊
Hey Chad.
I have 23 Road Island reds AND THEY ARE MEAN GIRLS. I have 10- Easter egger’s and 10 Polish. And they pick on each other (Reds) and the other breeds as well.
True that they are great layers and meat birds But they are MEAN GIRL. Great video.
I’m thinking about changing up my flock when my Reds get older.
God bless. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
@@peggyhaines7394 our reds were fine until this year, definitely some bullies amongst the group and you can forget about adding a new bird to their flock cause they can be vicious. I think we may have an egg eater too.
@@HiddenSpringFarm
My sister and I were talking about that today. Same problem. God bless. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Oh that goose is so friendly
@@evelynrogers7145 yeah she’s so great, she stands there waiting for pets I hope she stays nice like that.
Your goose is doing it's job by protecting his chicken flock from what she thinks are enemy birds because they're kind of new to your bird flock.
@@colly1952 exactly, she was acting appropriately to defend the hens from the turkeys.
thx
Hi cats
@@alyssachestnutt4833 🐾
Hi Chad I'm from the UK and I love your channel I come from farming stock it reminds me of younger years my great nephew lives in Toronto and he loves canada
I was born in Toronto and lived there until my 30’s. Thanks so much for joining us eh cheers 🥂
Subbed, ton of good info here
@@jsbaltes Right on! 🤙
HI CHAD.....Thanks for the Bird Tour. I know about the chickens history except for the black leghorn.....they are beautiful with their metallic green feathers. And your young turkeys are growing up to be beautiful....the brown color is new to me. That leaves the geese. The female is getting quite docile & friendly. Will you keep her with the new goslings you are raising? Well, I learned some new things about farm birds today, so thank you for that. Time for more chores, I'm sure! God bless.....😊❤😮❤
Those are Red Bourbon turkeys, a heritage breed. The 4 geese (I call them goslings still) in the bird yard are from this years hatch, the one girl who likes pets is definitely a keeper. I think I know which gander is her boyfriend so once I truly identify him those two will be the official guard geese in the bird yard.
Great video, you need to give the female goose a name since she is your friend.
@@susanlynn316 I’ll most likely name them once I’ve gotten them down to a pair. She’s definitely a keeper and I think I know which gander is her boyfriend so I’ll figure that out before the winter.
4:35 Dexter! Same name as our clever black cat who also fetched - beautiful video - obvious to see you really love those chooks/geese/turkeys. Big red is moulting - his harem should preen his pin feathers for him. Sunflower seeds/Vit E, B12 & Sunshine... 🌞our Rhode Island Hybrids are the most common commercial breed here in UK -after 18 months pies or rescued. PS Elvis is gorgeous! ( I tend to name mine after singers too!)
@@WildwoodTV one or several of the hens plucked out all his tail feathers and pecked his butt until it was really bloody so i separated him for now. Trouble is this is the 3rd time I’ve separated him cause the same thing keeps happening. Any ideas how to stop that behaviour?
Love your video, my rir rooster (rocky), my ls rooster (jonny), but all my hen, don't have name😅
@@chewansallehasallehazyze226 haha you’re just like us 😆
In Trinidad we use a 4 to 6 inch layer of sawdust in our chicken coop. This will last for a long time once it’s not getting wet. This is more effective than sand. It keeps the chickens warm as well.
I’m going to mix in sawdust as I produce it with the sawmill.
OMG the MJ joke
Beautiful chickens indeed! Turkeys are doing well and happily going outside. Geese are so tame and what happened to the mean lots?
@@nokchilton1562 haha the mean lots went into the dogs stomachs last fall. The turkey make different sounds when they’re free, almost like happy sounds.
@@HiddenSpringFarm good decision 🤣
Love all your vids bud. Freddy is awesome btw.
Try looking at the camera and not your video. It's more personal that way....just saying.
Again, great video. Thanks for sharing...very inspiring.
I think that big reds walking issue is due to his inside spur length. They seem to really bump into each other while he is walking? I think you should name your friendly Goose, Angel!!!
@@bobwalton4879 it’s really not, I’ve trimmed them back and he is still very wobbly like he had a few too many at the pub. He is due for a trim but Elvis & MJ have long spurs too and they are very agile.
I think if you installed hook and eye latches to hold your animal doors open.
Hi Chad, Olive 🐶, and the Claw Crew 🐈🐈⬛. Maybe this is a silly question 🤷🏻♀️, but do the eggs 🥚 taste different between these chickens 🐓🐔?
@@FelineFina not silly at all, the eggs pretty much taste the same 😊
It hurts them when you touch the pin feathers (gray hairs). Molting is tough.
Poor guy looks beat up
There's a channel called Whitt Acres, and one of his turkeys attacked his guard goose. She was a mess! I hope that doesn't happen to you. Especially not your favorite girl goose!
@@Nonya6380 oh wow, I hope not either
Who also like me preferes smaller eggs? Think of the poor hen having to lay big eggs!!!
@@Funky420Infotainment yeah I don’t mind the smaller eggs either
@@HiddenSpringFarm btw, I love watching your vids, so much love towards your animals and your Darling. STAY HEALTHY and keep rocking
Don't chickens need an external heat source in winter, unlike ducks?
Not at all, they have feathers and an air pocket.
