Love seeing how many people are praying .we serve an awesome God.
I love watching your family, and you have a beautiful family. I understand you say you hoping and praying for rain, I believe in not hoping and praying but praying and believing. I'm not saying this to be disrespectful, but saying this because it's faith. Praying and believing is when you receive, I am praying for you to receive rain in Jesus name Amen. Thank you for sharing your family with us ❤🙏👍

So sorry to hear about the loss of your ducks. I love ducks, they are adorable. Rachel, your hair looks great back. I agree with you about the heat feeling like 150 degrees. I cannot stand heat, and heat and humidity kills my asthma. I am so grateful that live in the Northeast, and have air conditioning in my house. My cats love it too. The emu's are doing really well. Poor Mojo, it is too hot for him to eat. Leeske is smart to go in the pond. He is training Kora well. Stay as cool as you can. Prayers for rain for you. I didn't take your vlog as a gripe video. It is just hot and dry weather. It has to get better. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have been praying for all the farmers and animal owners for rain 🌧 🌧🌧🌧🌧 💗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Father, Bless All With That Which Each Needs To Conquer And Reign Over That Which Awaits Each Tomorrow Amen
I was just laying in bed, getting ready to sleep and I thought of you guys, and kept wondering how you were all doing so finally, I got up and watched. So glad I did. You are fantastic people. Love all your animals and feathered friends. I can go to sleep now after watching your video. Thank you so much.
praying for rain for the farm,family and animals
I like that you share the bad with the good. Real life.
😊😊😊🌻🌻🌻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I am so sorry to hear about losing so many of the ducks. Prayers for rain rain and more rain coming to you and all those other farmers everywhere. Love ya Bunches Grammie Suzie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Praying that you get some nice steady rain soon. So sorry that you lost another duck. You are doing everything you can for all your animals. Stay well and safe. Bless you all. ❤
My folks had ducks back in the day. They do better in the cooler temps (even winter.)
You're doing good with the water. Maybe supplement with "mint" ice cubes. Just freeze some mint in the ice cubes and add those to the pool for a good summer treat. They also do better with veggies like peas, green beans and lettuce. Chasing peas in the pool is fun for the ducks and fun to watch!
Sorry you lost some ducks I pray you will get rain and some heat relief. I feel for all you homesteaders . It must be so worrisome for you guys.💕🙏💕
Sorry you're losing those gorgeous black ducks. Maybe Millie's crew have it easier because they're white and can reflect the heat. Appreciate all you do. Thanks for sharing! Blessings!
So wonderful how you take care of your animals!!So sorry about your ducks
Praying for you and your animal's. I hope it rains soon. God bless❤
😢😢 sorry about the ducks. Prayers for rain and cooler temps.🙏🙏🙏
It's so cool how Millie responds and talks back to you 😂 and I can't believe how big Kora has gotten. I didn't even realize it was her at first lol.
I continue to pray you all get so rain. Have a blessed day!
I know a lot of people are saying this, but I do see other farms using mist for cooling down their animals. The other suggestion is the fans hanging in the barn giving them a little air circulation. We live in Georgia and definitely can sympathize on the heat and high humidity. We are now in the storm cycles. Hot humid weather, triggering some big storms, daily. Praying for you all!
Lester at Imma Survivor used mist fans a couple yrs ago when they were digging their pond. The animals seemed to love it! Y’all and neighboring States r n my prayers.
@Godis Afairytale keep deluding yourself there!
My brother who our 93 yo mom lives with got a porch mister to keep it decent since my mom likes sitting out there. Just unbelievable hot hot and dry it it.
I have been trying to tell him-to set up sprinklers. But I think he is just too lazy to go some and set them up
A mister fan can lower the temp by 20 degrees F. Whether a fan with a mister or just a mister, the animals will be able to cool off a little. No other idea unless you wanted to go all fancy & add an air conditioner to the barn. Daniel at Arms family homestead put a solar powered ac in their cabin.
Maybe the water is heating up too fast for ducks. I read they need cold water. They suggest putting ice or frozen water bottles in their pools, give them electrolytes and watch for signs of heat stroke which kills ducks during extreme heat.
Love you guys.. prayed while I was watching .. lord bless and keep you Lord cause his face to shine upon you
Kevin and Rachel, you are good farmers. I own a farm and there are many bad farmers out there. You love all animals, and so did my Daddy. I appreciate what you do.
It's hot here in Texas also we get well over 100 degrees I love your channel I love watching all your movies I love your kids there so very well respectful God bless you all
HI Heights Family, Sorry for your loss, I think the ducks are dying because the heat, you guys are doing your best, i was born in Africa so i know what heat is, I've lived in 40, 45 up to 55 degrees celsius nine month of a year, You are not doing anything wrong but poultry are very sensitive are can drop death without showing symtoms. I still see some of the water containers under the sun and thats not good, just one water container in the sun is enough to cause much damage, that water will be boiling just within 30minutes and ofcos the animal will not know and drink it which will burn their throats and might be why some animal will not eat well as before because they have burn mouth and tongue.
Keep doing what you are doing, God bless you all
We are in Ft Worth, TX. 102 here for the past few days. We don't have a farm but we do have pets. I pray that our great & merciful God will send rain to the land and that He will sustain your animals & give you all some relief. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Hey Kevin and Rachel one thing you are good to your animals. They always have food and fresh water and they deserve that. I know all about living in a hot state I used to live in Texas which is right next door to Oklahoma so I know all about the Heat lol. I'm sorry that you're losing ducks maybe it's too hot for them how you tried putting bags or blocks of ice in the water it's worth a try. So what's next for HHF keep up the good work and see you in the next video🤔🐔🐤🐕🐐🌧🙏
Sorry for the loss of your ducks. Here in Phoenix, we have been in a long term drought since 1996. Our temp today high 115. The rain just keeps going around us. Our dogs will only go outside to go potty or if they here something. All this drought around all the states is awful. I pray for rain for all states special for those that have animals. Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you and your family!🕊✝🙏🏼💖
God bless you and keep you and give you peace. In Jesus precious name. Amen
You are all doing the best you can! Tske care & stay safe & drink!👋🥰❤🙏👍
Have been praying for rain for those west of you and covering you and moving East. Praying for a very large swath (from five states north of you) and down to the tip of Texas and moving East. Gentle, soft, sweet rain. Don't want it to roll off but sink in. Five hours on and then off six. Five hours on and six hours off. I don't want it to flood. Prayers, prayers, prayers.
Goodmorning folks I totally understand what your going through.
We had to set up sprinklers in our pastures and when the animals were brought up to the small paddocks we used misting hoses hung on the shelter sheds . We also would make popsicles with apples and carrots in one gallon ice cream buckets . Please take care and hoping for rain for you all. God bless.
Last year in Oregon we had a stretch over 100 degrees, and my chickens just couldn't take it and I lost several. We set up a spray/sprinkle system too, which seemed to help in the shade. But then again out here, we just aren't used to that heat for more than a day or two. Sorry about your ducks. You might throw some ice blocks into the water pools, or literally in a baby size pool. My animals did like that a lot.
I live near Death Valley. The misters are a God send. Grain can make the animals run hotter. I have " cooling stations" with fans, iced water, and dampened earth tjat I dampen at night. The hay on tbe ground seems to hold/generate heat like compost. Best of luck, the struggle is real!
We are hot, up here also. But not like you guys. Dry heat. Feel sorry for the animals. All you can do is your best. And pray that all will be good. Keep up the good work.🙏🇨🇦😊👍🌡
I was born and raised in South Central New Mexico, and what's crazy (but also really good for them) is that they've been getting quite a bit of rain recently. This is the monsoon season for them which actually started early this year. It usually starts around July 4th, but this year started in early June. They've been getting two or three days a week with rain showers, which is great considering how usually during monsoon season, it's more like once or twice every two weeks. So it's been a blessing for them. My grandmother sent me a picture recently, and I haven't seen it that green since I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, so almost 20 years. But in Middle Tennessee near Nashville (where my grandfather lives), they've also been dealing with the same issues that y'all are having. Extreme heat and humidity with no rain. I think they've had one day with a tiny bit of rain that was barely even measurable in the past 30 days. And they are used to getting a decent amount of rain at least once a week or so. His yard is also getting crunchy and turning brown which is very abnormal for them. I remember when I lived there having to go out and mow the yard at least once a week, sometimes more. But he hasn't had to worry about mowing for quite a while now. I just mention this to say it's really weird how the weather seems to be reversed this year for different parts of the country. My home/birthtown in NM getting a lot more rain than usual, and the town I grew up in in TN having a crazy drought. To really hit it home, every time I've visited NM for the past 15 years or so, I don't remember a time where there wasn't a strict fire ban everywhere. Now they have taken down the bans completely in a lot of areas. And every 4th of July in TN I remember being able to shoot off any kind of firework you can imagine, but this year they decided to ban anything that gets off the ground. It just seems so backwards. Anyway, I hope y'all get some relief here soon.
Rainbows 🌈 and unicorns 🦄 ♥
We, too, are experiencing the extreme heat and drought. Our church prayed for rain yesterday. Maybe y'all could do a rain dance. Sorry to hear about the ducks. My church believes our prayers were heard so we are carrying umbrellas as acts of faith. We did pray for rain for the entire country.
I'm praying for everyone who is going thru this terrible heat wave and the draught.
MAY GOD BLEES AND KEEP YOU..MUCH LOVE
My prayers for you and your farm, livestock, dogs, kids and everything and everyone.
Prayers out for rain guys, it’s very tuff everywhere
Oh no, sorry to hear about the quack pack, it’s been so dry and hot everywhere this year, prayers for some rain 🙏🏼You take great care of your animals so I know your doing all you can! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Peppermint drops in water in baby wipes or towel or hat, put in shampoo, body wash, peppermint castile soap in rinse water after cleaning keeps mice away👍👏👏👏
Sending lots of prayers🙏
I’m so sorry you lofts the ducks. I hope the dogs will stay safe in this heat, as well as the rest of the farm animals. ❤❤
A few suggestions are feed Mojo on the front porch temporarily so he can stay in the shade on the somewhat cooler concrete, a long length water mister in the goat yard, water bowls under shade, bricks or rocks in low water bowls for the bees and birds. Hoping you receive rain and cooler temperatures soon!
Yep if all he has is undercoat, hard to manage body temperature. My breed would die in our heat.
Jason at Cobb Hill says that young emus need a lot of protein for their legs while they're young God bless you all I'm praying for rain for y'all
I really need to watch your posts every day for your information and problem solving. You are all so amazing.🎉❤
Prayers for rain soon ~ you guy's have a great afternoon🤗❤👍
Don't forget about the trough being so hot too if when you're feeding them it may be too hot on their mouth
Sending Prayers your way....💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙
Sorry for loss of the ducks they are sure pretty. Emue's are getting big they look really soft. 👍❤🤗
It may look funky, but with thrift store bed sheets, draperies, and comforters you can provide additional immediate shade and relief at a relatively inexpensive cost. Yes, direct shade for the animals but also shade for the ground space and dirt below the grass which by now is likely hot. The dirt on top no longer has the capability to draw up moisture from lower levels, the lower levels are likely heating up and drying out, and the whole eco-system of soil microbes which help the ground stay cool and moist is drying out and dying for the year. Driving a stake down into the ground adequate to suspend shade cloth, be it a bed sheet or other, for a goat pen will not be easy. Do consider getting your tallest ladder to string shade cloth from the trees and under the tree canopy. Do consider stringing shade cloth from fencing in the areas the goats can't get to. Do consider stringing shade cloth from the eaves of your barn, shed, and similar structures to help the siding remain cooler; as mentioned in earlier comments, structure siding off heats keeping the surrounding areas hotter than they would be elsewise. Do consider how to keep rock, cement, and brick areas surrounding your animals shaded so they don't heat up. Do consider using cold water to help cool down the things that absorb heat then off heat into the surrounding areas; often there is a cycle in which off heating occurs keeping things warm but hit fully before the next day's sun comes along.
I’ll be praying 🙏🏼❤️❤️
We live in the Sacramento Valley here in California, and we’re in bad drought, so we can understand. So sorry for your animals and the struggle with trying to ward off the heat. Blessings to y’all. ❤️
Sorry about your loss Kevin and Rachel, That's what I do for my animals I buy big bags of ice I mix it with the water and I put ecolytes Underwater I got fans running in the chicken, co-op I hope it works for you, I'll pray for you And thank you in God-bless
Hi Kevin & Rachel
Praying for you and the animals. Also condolences upon the loss of your ducks.
I'm sure all the animals are like family .
Take it as easy as possible so one of you don't get sick from the heat.
Stay strong and safe
Love seeing the baby chicks, so cute. Hope y’all get some rain soon.
We all need to turn to god n pray for rain together! As a whole! God please give us rain.. in the name of ur son Jesus Amen
So good to she how much you care, and try to me the animals saferand more comfortable.
Sorry for your loss. Ya'll are doing a good job trying to keep all the animals cool down. Continue praying for rain for all you guys out west. Hope ya'll have a wonderful day. Love you guys.
Praying for you'll too
will be praying for you ...... praying for rain and cooler weather to come your way ❤🌧
The World is going through some extreme weather conditions all over. Floods, fires, drought. I think God is trying to show us all something. People have changed in there way of thinking which is against Gods plan for his people. We have been having these pop up storms with high winds here in Iowa. Got an inch and a half of rain last night. Some tree limbs down. Pray folks is what we all need to do. Thanks for sharing Pray you guys get some rains soon.
So many states suffering from drought and the heat. Yesterday in Texas, we had 107, with 114 heat index. We always have high humidity, it is miserable. Trying to stay positive, but it's hard! Putting out extra water for the wild life. It's the least we can do. Good luck everyone! We will make it!
I lost half of my flock 2 years ago due to botulism witch grows in the warm water I had no idea and thought as long as they had some what Clean water and plenty of it(I changed it every 3 days)they would be fine but unfortunately that wasn't the case so now I Clean and refill their water bowl and swimming pool everyday and so far its been 2 years since I've lost any ducks..wishing you guys all the best!
Every animal deserves fresh water every day. Imagine having to drink dirty water in your coffee cup. I wouldn't want green algae and poo in my water. Like Kevin said they can't do it themselves, so they have to rely on humans.
Praying for rain in OK. Sorry the ducks r dying very sad. Blessings to u all.
So many animals are dying in this heat wave. You take good care with your animals, so sorry that you have lost some. 🙏🙏♥♥
I look at lot of the other farmers or ranchers places doesn’t look as good as your farm. I look every day for your videos. They are great.
Prayers 🙏😊❤️for rain & clouds ❤️
Illinois has rain finally
Also for the dogs freeze old plastic soda bottles and milk jugs ect.dogs will lay on them and you can keep water cooler longer.God bless.
Everyone please make sure to watch all the adds so it will help them get more pay , so hopefully the cost of food for the animals will not be so bad right now
I’m sorry for your losses. Y’all are always in my prayers. I’ve been specifically praying for rain for all the pages I follow. And, here at home in Indiana, too. We got a good slow, soaking rain, last week. It wasn’t enough, but it perked our grass up a bit. Still praying.
Prayers and Blessings always ♥️🙏♥️
Hi Kevin and Rachel and kiddos. Rachel you and Kevin drink a lots of water or Gatorade or powerade cause you 2 are outside alot.thank you guys for letting us follow along with ya'll on the farm 🚜. I hope lee-ske and Kora are doing ok and Yoshi and yone.
Hope you get rain soon
Love you guys HERVEY BAY QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
God bless you all I pray you get some much needed rain
We used to freeze gallon milk jugs and place them in the water troughs throughout the day in the extreme heat. If nothing else the animals seemed to like the cooler water. Praying for everyone to be safe out there.
I’m feel so bad for all of you with animals. This heat wave is ridiculous. I live in Southern California and we are also in a drought . My animals are dogs and all in the house. Praying for rain you all the Mid West and South
Continued prayers 🙏 for you, animals and your farm 💖❤️💕 Jami at Ima Survivor Sanctuary has alot of ducks. I am sure she would be happy to pass on information to help you with your ducks.
Sending love n hugs and prayers for rain n cooler.weather xxxooo
RE: the Camera overheating. get two small icepacks and sew them into a dish towel and keep on you for when you are not using the camera and stuff it in with the icepacks. Will bring down the battery temperature so you get better life out of it.
need to do this with my phone somehow. i cant go outside without it overheating
Kevin and Rachel, you guys are impressive. I couldn't do all that you do. As for the weather, it's been a weird summer so far. Our garden is suffering.
Were in a drought as well in Wyoming some parts worse then others. We've been having 90+ Temps. I've been getting up at 3 am to water the garden and it's still in the 70's.
Praying for for a nice steady rain for 3 days n no bad storms.
Dealing with it here in Southern Missouri. We got some Guinea Fowl, planned on getting chickens and start a garden, but after the constant day after day drought it's just not smart to do. I feel for you all. I looks like no rain for 2 weeks. I'm scared we will burn up due to everything being so dry. All it would take is a few dumb people to spark it off or a few lightning strikes. It will take quite a bit of rain at this point to prevent a fire. Ill keep watching you all and see what works when this kinda heat hits. I think we got less than 1/10 of an inch within the last 2 months.
Yall are probably 2 hours from me so I love to see what's going on west of me.
I am watering fruit trees by hand too. It was 95 degrees yesterday. I am praying for rain for you,
We are having similar temps here in the Ozarks. I cut my grass two months ago and haven't had to recut it like we have last year and the year prior. It is very very dry here and the little bit of rain (0.1 inch for last 2 months) and we have been informed by local volunteer FD that we are on a wildfire warning. Keeping our dogs inside in the AC, and the AC is struggling to fight back the heat.
Neighbor's Cayuga ducks were having heat stroke this past month, even with a pond and plenty of water, shade, and feed available. They set up a sprinkler on a timer for the ducks and livestock to enjoy. Early morning, twice in the afternoon (until the county puts daytime water limitations) and once in the evening. The ducks are doing better, the grass there is still good, their chickens and a few of the older cows they have are staying near the area as well.
We are in Mountain Grove Missouri and know you're not lying about this drought.
I'm really worried about a wild fire from some terd sparking something or flicking a cigarette. Lightning strikes are another worry. I'm a former fire fighter myself and I just see this getting super super bad! May god be with you and your family, ty for what you do, especially in this heat!
Sorry for the loss of the ducks. It's sad seeing how brown the grass is this early.
Sorry you're having this drought. We've had high heat but have gotten some rain. Prayers for your animals.
Hi Ya'll, I reside here in Hot Florida, and we put on a lawn sprinkler on our hose and use a timer to let out water a few times a day so our ducks can help stay a bit cooler besides having a few kiddy pools to swim in. Good luck my friends.
Fans in the barns it's a definite help. Goats wouldn't like a mist hose but maybe the other animals would? We've been in the High 90s with heat index over a 100 for weeks here too. We finally, finally got rain this morning. A surprise storm dropped 2 inches very very fast, A lot ran off but some soaked in.
I pray this weather pattern changes soon !
Prayers for rain for you & all the other farmers.
a enjoyable video thumbs up
Sending love and prayers for rain. Love y'all
Summer is rough! We live in Northern California, our climate is very close to yours. While it is dryer most of the time, we have three major rivers in the delta which creates humidity that can be pretty miserable. Several years ago our state fair put in cooling stations with a fine mist of water that is a real life saver! Before you knew it they were available for your yard, animals and people. It's just a very fine mist and uses less water than a sprinkler.
Boy, your emus are getting so much bigger!
Prayers for rain. North of Atl here and yes heat index of 104/105 has been brutal this year. Had rains since Fri last week.currently 71 and a little on the chilly side.
The Emus are growing so much! I look forward to seeing how large they get at 6 months of age. It's so good that you all socialized them so well.
About dust control - Once its dusty, all you can do is spray water similarly to how they spray construction sites with a water tanker truck. The sad part is that dust tends to begin with all of your top soil. Aside from your top layers of soil being dry and prone to being blown about by even slight air movement, it is an indicator that the lower levels are also drying out and unable to hold the soil structure in tact. Often, this also results in the soil not being able to absorb or take in water once it rains; especially if younget a volume of water versus a gentle drizzle. If you get warning about rain, do consider watering your dry ground and brown grass a little before the rain somthst the water doesn't just run off the surface without honestly watering the ground.
😟😟😟😟got a neighbor that is losing chickens because of heat stroke😟😟😟😟 prayers over your critters🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sorry for the loss of the ducks
Prayers sent.
This draught is happening across the country. I worry for all that are so dependent on rain for their animals and produce. I live in PA and it is not normal to have brown grass in July. We haven’t had rain in a really long time. Prayers that rain comes to you soon.
It’s so hot everywhere,very sad for the animals trying to survive hope you get rain soon love your videos take care ,stay cool 🙏❤️🌸🌺😢🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🦃🦃🦆🦆🦆🦆🐶🐶🐶✋🤚😢❤️🙏
Yeah.
