    Jason, I appreciate the fact that you take into consideration the opinions of your chickens and in fact all your animals. This is why they love you so much!

    Turkey workshops PLEASE! I had the best time learning at your chicken workshop this year. My whole family was fighting over the roasted chicken I made from your farm so I can only imagine how awesome the turkey would be too!

    Your family is already on my prayer list. I will add the turkeys. Seriously. Your channel is very entertaining as well as informative. Lorraine, your meal is so much like what my daughter in law cooks when she comes for a visit. She and my son live I Seoul South Korea. He works for the US government there.

    Put marbles in the water trays on the round waters, the chicks can still drink and they can't get into them an drown, that's what we used to do with our waters. Little and big, and just take the marbles out when the chicks are bigger. Just a suggestion. Love the videos!

    Make sure you keep the turkeys out of a cold wind and that they are extra warm. They are delicate critters. I always wrap my cage with old sheets until they are about a month old. Never lost a bird.

    Mud bees are very important for pollination. Perhaps make them especially a bare dirt patch, some insect hotels with reeds or bamboo, and or a log that you drill holes into. Ans have a saucer with mud forvthem to line their hole. They will then leave the busy human come and go spot alone.

    🤍🐝These Mason Bees are active from March to June, nesting in soft mortar, soil, dead wood, gaps under roof tiles, or even existing burrows. One brood is raised each year, and the male bee emerges about two weeks before the female.

    Chicks, seem to be hard wired for success and independence from day one. Turkeys poultry are looking for a reason to die. Chicks live near mom for about 3 to 4 weeks. Turkeys live with and are protected by mom for 5 to 6 Months. The mother turkey protects the babies and lead them to food and water for the majority of that time. Best of luck.

    Also, I had a playhouse/shed in our backyard that the bees liked to go under. And one day I had a ball of bees 🐝 on my fruit tree, tipped the shed over and found we had two colonies of bees under there. So I called a old timer bee keeper to collect them. He had to come back with a second box . It was cool, I took pictures as I watched him work.

    I think they made a nest in ground under shed doorway
    Naturally i would like to suggest you get 2 large, gallon size of white vinegar.
    Before sunrise, saturate the area if you see thier entry holes, pour vinegar on them, dump all of 2 gallons . If they start to fly., lay both bottles on ground and them empty. Walk away for a good hour. Don’t do this after sun is up , they will be wide awake., and attack you. Becareful 😁👍🏻

    GROUND BEES: I got rid of mine mixing up: Borax, Powdered Sugar & a little Water to make a paste. I put it into a plastic cup and put it upside down over the holes. You may need multiple containers for all the holes. Within 1-2 days.. all gone!

Penelope your sour dough sandwiches look fantastic. Good for you and all the baking you do to help your mom and dad. Lorraine, those cabbage leaves look amazing. Does that cabbage taste different than a regular head of cabbage you buy at the grocery store? Thank for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
