Hi Al Gina and Olivia i hope you are all doing ok and staying healthy during the bad time the world is going through only have faith in life and hope there is light at the end of it all. Your family lifts me up everytime i watch your RUclips section,i just love how much you have come along since starting this it's amazing. The other day i heard you saying to Goose and Mavrick you might get them some lady friends that would be a great idea and give you another project to do as ducks love shallow ponds and their own shed plus they do lay great eggs for baking with. Love to you all from Scotland
You are teaching Olivia amazing life skills! You are giving her Godly principles and incredible love. Bless you! What a lovely example to all of your subscribers. I appreciate you all.
Louisiana here! Making the best of it. Still working as we are considered necessary. Trying to get people to learn safe mode which has a bit of a challenge but we are doing it while still providing a service. Stay safe!
Egg-cellent job separating the yolks and whites, Miss Olivia! I went to culinary school and saw many adults that couldn't do that so well. Al and Gina, you have a great kid there. Wonderful helper, always happy, smiling and focused on the chore you guys are involved with.
Thank you SO much for your beautiful video. I woke up feeling blah this morning. After watching your video I have a new happy look on the day today. Sending love to you and your family. Chicago Grandma❤️
Love how you are teaching Olivia the things she needs to know to lead a self sufficient lifestyle. Even if she chooses not to in the future she will always carry such fond memories and knowledge with her. Those are not just learning moments but bonding ones to.
So happy for Olivia to have her baby chicks. She will be a good chick momma. It makes me happy to see how you always interact with each other. I look forward to each and every video, as I imagine myself being there with you. I have no family here in Arizona, as I am a widow, who’s children are grown and live elsewhere. I have been watching your videos for many months, and am so glad to see you all are so happy and are living a great life. Stay happy and healthy, the best for Olivia and her baby chicks. The waffles look yummy. God Bless 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻
I really enjoy these videos that include children. It shows a great family bond and educates them. I taught my daughter as much as I could and now at 18yo shes very independent and can do just about anything on her own. She can change her car tire, check and change fluids in her car and a plethora of other things. All because I involved her in things i did instead of sending her back in the house when I was working on projects. Great family video!
Love Livy's chickens, it will be fun to watch them grow, she will be a good care giver to them. We are in self isolation here in Ottawa Canada and a mid night tonight all non essential businesses are to close their doors. We are coping and able to get the food and essentials we need but then asked to go home. Our son visited us the other day and we had a wonderful visit through the picture window of our house on our cell phones. It is a strange time we live in right now and I have found the value of connecting with friends and family, giving them support through these times. Stay safe, Stay Healthy, sending hugs and love from Canada.
i keep positive by starting my day watching you and your family working together. your calmness and your thoughts are encouraging and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
My friend has a daughter Olivia (Oly) about the same age as you. Out of the virus crisis, we too have decided to start growing vegetables in the yard. I used to have a hydroponic greenhouse years ago and it's amazing how little space can produce so much food. And since i like flowering plants, it was also amazing how many food plants have beautiful flowers. This also keeps us positive and busy appreciating God's gifts to all of us. Many Blessings - One day at a time...
Sweet little baby Chicks Olivia. You have picked some pretty ones. I hope the little injured one does OK. Waffles...mmmm...and maple syrup. Y'all have a Blessed day. See you Thursday.
We're all fine thank you Al! We're in Suffolk, UK. Hopefully the poorly chick will be okay and make a good recovery! :-) Stay safe Mr, Mrs, and Miss Lumnah! :-)
Good morning from Iowa. Love your family. I am a self-contractor staying home on my own free will, not letting any federal or state government tell me what is safe. Starting my peppers and tomatoes today along with 10 paw paw tree seeds. Stay positive everyone and YOU decide what is best for your family and enjoy the time together. Peace and much Love!
I'm really enjoying your videos! I live in Virginia and am doing well! You both are so talented, your daughter is blessed with great parents. I love your animals....goats are so funny! I know Olivia is excited about her new chicks, but I can't wait for the kids to be born!
Olivia being your helper was awesome! Great to teach practical lessons during this time of isolation, maybe you can show her how to change the oil and a tire. 😁
Best Words spoken today..You thought of everything..Olivia to Dad after the build, supplying and supporting the baby chicks. You did great dad ...many Blessings..If your child asks for bread would you give him a stone..If they ask for fish, would you give him a serpent..YOU DID GREAT DAD! You thought of Everything! three of you.
The chicks are a great teaching tool for our children. I like that you are having Olivia doing everything, from ordering to helping with the heat lamps. I think you might regret that step board all the way to the dividing wall. It leaves a pocket between the door frame and outside wall and the dividing wall. We all know that any young farm animal will find a way into that pocket. Cover it or cut the step board just to be safe. Keep safe.
Thanks for sharing another day on the Lumnah farm.... Figaro is my hero, watching over the homestead day and night.. baby chicks are so cute... Stay safe
Olivia, It's so cool you are getting your own chickens. So excite! If She comes up missing she will be in the chick shed! They are soooo cute! The egg separating would look so cool in slow motion as would other things while cooking. Great job Olivia. This is how we learned to cook when I was growing up. At our mother or grandmother's side. We are Staying connected by calling and being sure everyone is still well and have what they need to eat. Our family is blessed to live close and can see each other. our goals: Growing a garden and learning to can the fruits of our labor and how to make jelly this year. Be Blessed!
HI! I'm a high dish individual so have been staying home. My boys make sure I have whatever I need. I'm sewing on my quilts in this time. I'm a new widow and find what I miss most is touching. Take care and God Bless!
God bless you! I've been divorced almost 29 years and live alone. Touching is important. I do find video chat w daughter and grandchildren helps, and stand outside and talk to neighbors ( way more than 6 ft distant) helps. God bless you!
Always a fantastic vedio of life, with faith in your heart. The chicks are adorable. Olivia is taking after you in taking care of G-D's creatures, and Gena in the kitchen and both of you in kindness and sensitivity. You are truly blessed. I'm a senior, 70 years old, high risk, and doing terrific. I have G-D in my heart, and angels watching over me. Oh, I'm also in New York. LOL. I have no worry. I haven't completed a few of my earthly missions yet. G-D Bless and stay safe. Perhaps because chick has hightop, call her Princess.
I'm in Nebraska. I'm usually at work in an office in Omaha. We started working from home last Monday. I'm loving working from home. I hope it continues after the craziness subsides. Grocery stores in my small town have plenty. Except toilet paper of course. Lol But we already had enough for our needs. Our kids are grown so it's just my husband and I. He's an in home senior care giver and he's still working regularly with his 2 clients. We watch our church online as well as other church services in the area and our old church in Vista California. Lots of restaurants in town are doing take out. But i have enough food here and time to cook it. 😁 May God continue to bless and keep you and your family.
watching you and olivia brings back such sweet memories of my dad following around and "helping" with the chores. she may never realise later what a precious gift she has been given. Dad has been gone many many years but i think about him every day and still miss him
In the UK we're now on strict lock-down. We can go out for some daily exercise and food shopping. But I have chronic arthritis so I hardly ever go out anyway. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my weekly supermarket delivery does include the things I need. So far family, friends and neighbours have been marvellous in getting me bread and milk. Your waffle making made me smile, but you had slightly less overspill than my microwave porridge - a combo of too many oats + too small a bowl. What a mess! Stay home, stay safe and keep smiling. xxx
Val Galloway, you're lucky. I'm in the UK, too, and chronically ill with five of the listed issues, but I've been unable to get any groceries for three weeks now. Hoping to stretch what I have for as long as possible.
I heat my bowl of water in microwave. Then add oats. If I have frozen berries in it, I add them as I heat water. The oats while microwaving seems to make it overflow and yes very messy! God bless
I have a small-ish bowl with a rim about 1/2 inch/~1.25 cm down from the top. I throw in a cup of oats, add spices, salt or butter before adding the water. and fill the bowl to the bottom of that rim with boiling water. I let it sit until all the water is absorbed. If there is ripe fruit in my garden that morning, I pick it when I let out my ducks and geese for the day; that also goes in the porridge, too. That's been morning porridge for the past decade or so.
Awww the baby chicks are so cute. The new chick coop is so nice. I have been isolating about 3 weeks now and have my supplies and food. My cat is a great comfort to me. Stay safe. 💖🐔🐐
Love your way of teaching your children by involving them in what is happening. We had chickens while growing up. Did you know, Guinea hens are great protectors of chickens and they eat snakes, slugs, ticks and chase off foxes and other predators. They are also better than most dogs at sounding a warning when danger exists. Great family teaching show, and a harty AMEN to your closing talk with us. God bless you all. p.r.morehouse
Al, Make a outside light on the coop that you can see from the house to make sure the power to the coop is on. An acquaintance lost all of her animals because she did not know the power failed. Being able to observe from the house would prevent this... Or a WiFi camera.
Here in the uk we went into strict lock down yesterday but I have been isolated because of my lung and heart issues for a while now. I’m so grateful for my family of friends who have made sure that I am staying fed. However the lack of communication face to face is starting to play on my mental health as I don’t do well in my own company. It’s a struggle today x
One bit of advice, if UK is like US do NOT watch the 24/7 virus coverage. Stay informed but don't overdo it. I had to step away & pull weeds in the garden or watch zoo videos to take my mind off of this. Take care.
I worked with my Dad and learned alot. I think of him everyday and thank God for what he taught me.. Olivia will always remember her days on the homestead with Mom & Dad..💗🐤🐥🐤🐥🐤🐥🐤🐥 Olivia👧 is great in the kitchen👍🏼 Our families talk on the phone and we stop by if we go out. I am delivering food to the kids today by the bus company I work for. "First Student ".. 🕊💗🙏🏼👩🏼🌾
We’re sheltered in place here in Dallas. We got some of our garden plated and lots of seed started indoors. Three new black australorps, two ducks and a Toulouse goose arrived a couple of days ago to be added to our flock of 18 hens. Nothing like new life to bring joy to your life, even in these CRAZY times!!🐥🐥🦆
Goodmorning from alabama. Nothing like baby chicks. We bought a number of different chicks last year that we never had before. I love the Americana speckled Sussex an wyandotte s . Thought we'd had em all before. Watching all these beautiful birds is good for the soul. Calming an peaceful with our morning coffee. We have so many ladies an their so noisy but its so pleasurable to watch an listen. I think the good LORD blessed us an is there smiling.
Guinea hens are great protectors of chickens and they eat snakes, slugs, ticks and chase off foxes and other predators. They are also better than most dogs at sounding a warning when danger exists.
Olivia, I LOVE your chicks !! My chicks are supposed to be here tomorrow, so I'm hoping they will arrive so strong and healthy as yours did. Hope the little one you are tending to will be ok. 😊
Love that Olivia takes real interest in everything. In Las Vegas, NV schools are closed and I am working from home. So weird to live in tourist town and it be closed down. We are staying sane by getting our garden ready, can’t wait for veggies and fruit! Thanks Al, Gina & Olivia for sharing your journey with us. ❤️🐥
What wonderful lessons Olivia is learning. Whatever she ends up doing in her life, she will have basic skills in home and machine maintenance, tool use, problem solving and caring for animals.
Thank you for Sharing! We are now relying on Social Media more than ever. Not sue what we would do without it. Just the possibility to see what is going on 24/7 is awesome even though some is fake. Common Since Rules!
baby chicks Olivia what a wonder gift and blessing you have received - I look forward to watching them grow with you - good luck with the one with splayed legs I hope you and mum work out how to fix it
I watch every day and love the egg count guessing and Sweet Treat Co play. But today was absolutely fantastic when Olivia said. You thought of everything when you built it! I love watching the way you all are so good respectful etc w each other. God bless all 3 of you!!! Thank you for all you do
Daughter had several chicks in house a few years ago before moving outdoors, NOISY but fun. Yesterday in coastal Maine all snow was gone off ground, but overnight storm dropped 8 inches. Today, Tuesday, snow is again beginning to melt with 50 degree sunny temps. Only in Maine...SHISH! 🤪
Goood morning from CA :-) I am staying in my apartment and "going for walks" with you, following your routine :-) Not only you and family are my companions, but also your dogs, , chickens, goats and of course Figaro :-) There is something calming in watching your videos :-) :-) stay safe!!! :-) Lady- great hair- not just today :-)
Afternoon from Spain we are doing well over here on complete lockdown so not left the house in 14 days it's a long time when you see people almost every day weather it be a farmer from the land around us or a customer coming to collect fresh eggs from us but to light the mood and keep me on my toes are baby goats are doing great without there mum and finding anyway possible to try and escape so that's keeping me busy nice to see you guys are doing well
Absolutely surprising to see snow again!👀 love you guy's story, I think I've found my homestead, renting it, not owning but it's a start! Stay blessed warm and healthy!🙏💞💯👍🏽
What a learning experience Olivia is having being there on the homestead. And it is good seeing the new life showing up there. Cannot wait till you start the next project. I think I know what it is. Those waffles look great, have not had those in a long time
You forgot the honey in the chicks water, it gives them energy which is what they need for a day or 2. Really lovely video. I have 8 week old Cream crested leg bar, Black Copper Maran and mixed breed with an Aruacana Cockrel as the daddy. Awesome looking birds, they r now penned on top of one of my raised beds and enjoying the first real sunshine we've had in a long long time. Stay well and love to you all from here in Cornwall in the UK.
I’m doing better here in Okla. Been home bound for four weeks. Probably have Corona. Have all the symptoms. I isolated myself when I got sick. I miss my family. My 89 yr old mother has fallen and broken her shoulder during this time. She’s in rehab and we can’t be with her. My 92 year old dad is lost without her. He’s taken care of her since she was 17! But the good Lord is with us , I’m getting better and it wont always be like this. So thankful I’ve had your wonderful videos to help fill my days. Praying for Olivia’s chick 🐥
Hey Al. That board you put in the doorway to stop the chicks from falling out. The way you have attached it you have created a spot to the left of the door frame where a chick could get stuck as they get a bit older. If one gets in there they might not be able to get out.
Spring is here and we got 6 inches of snow dumped on us last night into this morning. It's really too bad that we are going through this time in our country, but if parents would take the time like you and Gina are, to let the children learn and be part of raising their own food, they will be prepared for bad times when they become adults. Al, I have always enjoyed driving through your little town. We go through there when we visit my brides mom. Love you guys and thank you for sharing all the things you share as a family. Was going to mention separating that little chick, but you mentioned you had. Blessings.
We are doing well here in Kernersville, NC. My husband and I are both over 65, so we are sheltering in place and being very careful to wash our hands often , especially after receiving our grocery deliveries. My twin Sister and I have breakfast together every morning by Skype and we are keeping busy doing crafts and crocheting for charity. Our Church friends call us every day to see if we need anything or need for them to go pick up our medicines. We both have underlying conditions that would make getting the virus very dangerous for us.We really enjoy your videos and watch all of them. I think the baby chicks are just adorable and I also love the goats, especially Hope! Maverick and Goose are really funny and We just love seeing all the animals and can tell that you all love them and care for them so much. We are praying for you all! God Bless! Patricia and Gary Huff, Kernersville, NC
Patricia's Reborn Lovies , well done! I love that you and sister Skype over coffee! My Grandkids across the country and I watched a movie together the other day! Keep safe
My wife and I are also 60+ and trying our best to stay healthy. My wife is working at a Nursing Home and I am at home with Diabetes Type 2 insulin dependent. Like you this virus might be very serious if either of us should get it. Stay safe and God Bless!
My favorite time is the wonderful commentary at the end of your videos, family together enjoying the fruits of their labor, socially connecting and spreading the love.....Thanks so much for sharing these moments as well. God Bless!!
We have fixed quite a few splayed legs on chicken and quail chicks using bandaids. They stick together good but dont stick that hard to the chick. Just wrap each end around a leg, back onto itself leaving the pad part between the legs. The pad leaves the right amount of spacing for the legs to be apart. Usually only takes 24 hours for the legs to set to their new position and the chick is off and running. Bandaids work well for curled feet as well. Make them a bandaid slipper. Straighten out the toes, run the bandaid under the foot and up over the top making sure the toes are straight. Again 24 to 48 hours and they should straighten out.
Lovely chicks! I remember our UPS delivering loudly peeping chicks from Lampkin's Hatchery in Skowhegan, Maine. The driver couldn't "wait" to hand me that box of stressed , chirping chicks! We are sheltered in place and working the farm. Our neighbors have been great! Small local grocery general stores will bring the order to the parking lot if you call ahead. I have discovered that milk freezes fine :-) We have ordered our garden seeds. Can't encourage folks enough to garden this spring! I just bought a nifty seed sprouting tower from Johnnys Seed to sprout broccoli and onion for salads and omelettes.
Morning from Texas! I wouldn't put the lights TOO close to the floor. From experience, we had twenty meat chicks, we put the lights TOO close to the floor, and we lost all but six of them!! And, I agree with Ms. Fortin. Enjoy the videos!!
Thanks for sharing your Family with us. I was glad to hear an update on that Chick, I hope she heals and gets better. Maybe a good name would be "leghorn" from the cartoons.
Good evening, Lumnah acres, how lovely to hear the chirp of the little chicks and seeing Olivia preparing the brooder with you Al and cooking with Gina. Those waffles looked lovely, may I ask the make of your waffle machine . We are under lock down here in the Uk and your videos are helping me a lot. Watching all the animals on your farm is so soothing and what you all get up to, your projects etc etc. Have a lovely evening.
In MI we are now under a stay at home order from the Governor. Sent home on 3/16 working from home for week now 3 more to go. Praying for an end by then. Living alone makes this a challenge for sure. Look forward to your daily video for some normalcy. Thank you 🤗💖
Hey Mich. northern Indiana here. We're already 6 days into staying home. We started before it was in affect. Going to take a drive around town today for the last in a while. Remain at home starts at midnight here. Stay safe out there, we can do this.
Faith, we went into lockdown at noon today in Oregon. However, can still go for medical treatments. After I leave the hospital I also have to get dog meds. You ' re not alone. We're all in this together!! Feel free to reach out.
Aw the baby chicks are so cute! And look at supervisor Figaro too!! :D Mmm blueberry waffles :) Here in Australia we are in lockdown based on we have closed our borders and now all states are closing the state borders. Many have finished their panic buying and are now at home isolating and social distancing. Many have lost jobs overnight too :( But staying in contact with loved ones via FB, phone, Skype :)
We are all adjusting to the new normal. My husband works from my daughter’s room, while I keep our kids (7 and 8) learning each day. We picked up our baby chicks about 10 days ago. Lost one within 24 hours. The remaining 5 are doing amazing! Hoping to get supplies to start our seeds soon (I usually plant directly to the garden, but I am in Beverly MA and it’s a little too cold still for that). We are appreciating the time we have home together, forcing us all to slow down. Kids use Messenger Kids or FaceTime to chat with friends from school and the grandparents. We will get through this, and honestly I think we will all be better for it. Where did you order Olivia’s chicks from (my 7 year old is Olivia also)
Congratulations Livy on getting your own chicks👍 Yay! Great snags Al! Livy's the house chef assistant from way back. Yummy! I hope your little Chicky is gonna be alright. Trudy with the tuft haha! JO JO IN VT 💕☃😊
You know, this is actually a gift sent straight from Heaven ! While Olivia is out of School, you could teach her every part of the Business , includes Math and all part's of School and she's so smart, it wouldn't be hard at all ! :)
We are doing fine here. We are on lock down as well. Only essential personnel and shopping trips. I would love to hang out with Olivia. She is a sweet young lady. I am an Acteen leader at church and have been missing the girls since we are not allowed to meet. Past mission trip pictures have popped up in my Facebook feed. Olivia I wish you much luck with your chickens. I would like to have some myself but I don't have a place to put them at the moment. Al and Gina, I love watching you two work together. Thank you for making my day better and inspiring me to try some new things. Have a wonderful day.
Hi Al Gina and Olivia i hope you are all doing ok and staying healthy during the bad time the world is going through only have faith in life and hope there is light at the end of it all. Your family lifts me up everytime i watch your RUclips section,i just love how much you have come along since starting this it's amazing. The other day i heard you saying to Goose and Mavrick you might get them some lady friends that would be a great idea and give you another project to do as ducks love shallow ponds and their own shed plus they do lay great eggs for baking with.

Cynthia Tingler - That is a lovely comment and so true! They are a great witness. 🇬🇧
Sweet baby girl "you thought of everything " she loves her daddy
And she respects him because he respects her. It is awesome to watch.
Louisiana here! Making the best of it. Still working as we are considered necessary. Trying to get people to learn safe mode which has a bit of a challenge but we are doing it while still providing a service. Stay safe!
Thank you for showing up and keeping things going. 🖒Take care.😷
Egg-cellent job separating the yolks and whites, Miss Olivia! I went to culinary school and saw many adults that couldn't do that so well.
Al and Gina, you have a great kid there. Wonderful helper, always happy, smiling and focused on the chore you guys are involved with.
What a beautiful batch of chicks! I hope the little chick improves. Those waffles looked awesome! Blessings to all.

Can't wait to see the blue eggs in the basket! We great doing great here. It was 84 here in South Texas yesterday.
Olivia, It's so cool you are getting your own chickens. So excite! If She comes up missing she will be in the chick shed! They are soooo cute!

I live tha Olivia does all she does at home. Great young lady. God bless yall
In the UK we're now on strict lock-down. We can go out for some daily exercise and food shopping. But I have chronic arthritis so I hardly ever go out anyway. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my weekly supermarket delivery does include the things I need. So far family, friends and neighbours have been marvellous in getting me bread and milk.
Your waffle making made me smile, but you had slightly less overspill than my microwave porridge - a combo of too many oats + too small a bowl. What a mess!
Stay home, stay safe and keep smiling. xxx
Val Galloway , all the best to you all in the UK. Keeping the world in my prayers.
Val Galloway, you're lucky. I'm in the UK, too, and chronically ill with five of the listed issues, but I've been unable to get any groceries for three weeks now. Hoping to stretch what I have for as long as possible.
@@tardismole Talk to some churches in your area. I'm sure a kind parishioner will come to the rescue. It's the christian thing to do.
I heat my bowl of water in microwave. Then add oats. If I have frozen berries in it, I add them as I heat water. The oats while microwaving seems to make it overflow and yes very messy! God bless
I have a small-ish bowl with a rim about 1/2 inch/~1.25 cm down from the top. I throw in a cup of oats, add spices, salt or butter before adding the water. and fill the bowl to the bottom of that rim with boiling water. I let it sit until all the water is absorbed. If there is ripe fruit in my garden that morning, I pick it when I let out my ducks and geese for the day; that also goes in the porridge, too. That's been morning porridge for the past decade or so.
Awww the baby chicks are so cute. The new chick coop is so nice. I have been isolating about 3 weeks now and have my supplies and food. My cat is a great comfort to me. Stay safe. 💖🐔🐐
Love your way of teaching your children by involving them in what is happening. We had chickens while growing up. Did you know, Guinea hens are great protectors of chickens and they eat snakes, slugs, ticks and chase off foxes and other predators. They are also better than most dogs at sounding a warning when danger exists. Great family teaching show, and a harty AMEN to your closing talk with us. God bless you all. p.r.morehouse
Al, Make a outside light on the coop that you can see from the house to make sure the power to the coop is on. An acquaintance lost all of her animals because she did not know the power failed. Being able to observe from the house would prevent this... Or a WiFi camera.
Lake Erie says HI.....You can keep the snow. I'm waiting for our Spring Flowers! PS more blueberries......need to plant some bushes.
Great video of the chicks. I love little chicks the peep noise they make. I'm doing good still working. Thanks for sharing.
Here in the uk we went into strict lock down yesterday but I have been isolated because of my lung and heart issues for a while now. I’m so grateful for my family of friends who have made sure that I am staying fed. However the lack of communication face to face is starting to play on my mental health as I don’t do well in my own company. It’s a struggle today x
One bit of advice, if UK is like US do NOT watch the 24/7 virus coverage. Stay informed but don't overdo it. I had to step away & pull weeds in the garden or watch zoo videos to take my mind off of this. Take care.
I worked with my Dad and learned alot. I think of him everyday and thank God for what he taught me.. Olivia will always remember her days on the homestead with Mom & Dad..💗🐤🐥🐤🐥🐤🐥🐤🐥 Olivia👧 is great in the kitchen👍🏼 Our families talk on the phone and we stop by if we go out. I am delivering food to the kids today by the bus company I work for. "First Student "..
🕊💗🙏🏼👩🏼🌾
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Loving Olivias chicks! So cute! Take care everyone.
We’re sheltered in place here in Dallas. We got some of our garden plated and lots of seed started indoors. Three new black australorps, two ducks and a Toulouse goose arrived a couple of days ago to be added to our flock of 18 hens. Nothing like new life to bring joy to your life, even in these CRAZY times!!🐥🐥🦆
Goodmorning from alabama. Nothing like baby chicks. We bought a number of different chicks last year that we never had before. I love the Americana speckled Sussex an wyandotte s . Thought we'd had em all before. Watching all these beautiful birds is good for the soul. Calming an peaceful with our morning coffee. We have so many ladies an their so noisy but its so pleasurable to watch an listen. I think the good LORD blessed us an is there smiling.
Guinea hens are great protectors of chickens and they eat snakes, slugs, ticks and chase off foxes and other predators. They are also better than most dogs at sounding a warning when danger exists.
We got some wet flurries yesterday nothing stuck 👍👍SE CT.
Figaro is territorial. He lets you live and farm there !
Figaro is great "watch cat" :-) He is watching if you are doing everything correctly :-) :-)
Olivia, I LOVE your chicks !! My chicks are supposed to be here tomorrow, so I'm hoping they will arrive so strong and healthy as yours did. Hope the little one you are tending to will be ok. 😊
Oh, those calico chicks are so cute! Congratulations!
Love that Olivia takes real interest in everything. In Las Vegas, NV schools are closed and I am working from home. So weird to live in tourist town and it be closed down. We are staying sane by getting our garden ready, can’t wait for veggies and fruit! Thanks Al, Gina & Olivia for sharing your journey with us. ❤️🐥
What wonderful lessons Olivia is learning. Whatever she ends up doing in her life, she will have basic skills in home and machine maintenance, tool use, problem solving and caring for animals.
Thank you for Sharing! We are now relying on Social Media more than ever. Not sue what we would do without it. Just the possibility to see what is going on 24/7 is awesome even though some is fake. Common Since Rules!
baby chicks Olivia what a wonder gift and blessing you have received - I look forward to watching them grow with you - good luck with the one with splayed legs I hope you and mum work out how to fix it
I watch every day and love the egg count guessing and Sweet Treat Co play. But today was absolutely fantastic when Olivia said. You thought of everything when you built it! I love watching the way you all are so good respectful etc w each other. God bless all 3 of you!!! Thank you for all you do
Daughter had several chicks in house a few years ago before moving outdoors, NOISY but fun. Yesterday in coastal Maine all snow was gone off ground, but overnight storm dropped 8 inches. Today, Tuesday, snow is again beginning to melt with 50 degree sunny temps. Only in Maine...SHISH! 🤪
Goood morning from CA :-) I am staying in my apartment and "going for walks" with you, following your routine :-) Not only you and family are my companions, but also your dogs, , chickens, goats and of course Figaro :-) There is something calming in watching your videos :-) :-) stay safe!!! :-)
Lady- great hair- not just today :-)
Love the chicks. Olivia has got her a project to keep herself busy now that she is home. God Bless and stay healthy.
Afternoon from Spain we are doing well over here on complete lockdown so not left the house in 14 days it's a long time when you see people almost every day weather it be a farmer from the land around us or a customer coming to collect fresh eggs from us but to light the mood and keep me on my toes are baby goats are doing great without there mum and finding anyway possible to try and escape so that's keeping me busy nice to see you guys are doing well
A few years ago, I started wiring GFCI plugs on the outside of my buildings. They come in really handy, especially if they are out of the splash zone.
Olivia your chicks are so cute and awesome!Keep giving that precious little chick lovin and it will be ok.I miss having chickens!🐓🐔
Aww, Olivia's chicks are so cute! She will be a good mother hen to them, already taking good care of them. The waffles looked so yummy!
Glad to see you guy's during the week. 🤗
Absolutely surprising to see snow again!👀 love you guy's story, I think I've found my homestead, renting it, not owning but it's a start! Stay blessed warm and healthy!🙏💞💯👍🏽
Congratulations to you! Keep us updated :)
What a learning experience Olivia is having being there on the homestead. And it is good seeing the new life showing up there. Cannot wait till you start the next project. I think I know what it is. Those waffles look great, have not had those in a long time
The baby chicks are so cute! Glad to see you’re using this time to get out with the family. Keep the content coming Al!
The chicks need each other for support and warmth. Even though the light is on a lone chick can get cold.
Love Olivia’s baby chicks. Great dinner love waffles and eggs.
You forgot the honey in the chicks water, it gives them energy which is what they need for a day or 2. Really lovely video. I have 8 week old Cream crested leg bar, Black Copper Maran and mixed breed with an Aruacana Cockrel as the daddy. Awesome looking birds, they r now penned on top of one of my raised beds and enjoying the first real sunshine we've had in a long long time. Stay well and love to you all from here in Cornwall in the UK.
I’m doing better here in Okla. Been home bound for four weeks. Probably have Corona. Have all the symptoms. I isolated myself when I got sick. I miss my family. My 89 yr old mother has fallen and broken her shoulder during this time. She’s in rehab and we can’t be with her. My 92 year old dad is lost without her. He’s taken care of her since she was 17! But the good Lord is with us , I’m getting better and it wont always be like this. So thankful I’ve had your wonderful videos to help fill my days. Praying for Olivia’s chick 🐥
Remember the goat treats you made last year ? Do you still have some ? They loved those treats 😂❤ beautiful video !
Hey Al. That board you put in the doorway to stop the chicks from falling out. The way you have attached it you have created a spot to the left of the door frame where a chick could get stuck as they get a bit older. If one gets in there they might not be able to get out.
Spring is here and we got 6 inches of snow dumped on us last night into this morning. It's really too bad that we are going through this time in our country, but if parents would take the time like you and Gina are, to let the children learn and be part of raising their own food, they will be prepared for bad times when they become adults. Al, I have always enjoyed driving through your little town. We go through there when we visit my brides mom. Love you guys and thank you for sharing all the things you share as a family. Was going to mention separating that little chick, but you mentioned you had. Blessings.
You have a live stock guardian cat.🐈💖
Looks good dinner. Take care of the chick.
Stay safe. God bless you and your family. Love your channel♥️🇺🇸🌹
We are doing well here in Kernersville, NC. My husband and I are both over 65, so we are sheltering in place and being very careful to wash our hands often , especially after receiving our grocery deliveries. My twin Sister and I have breakfast together every morning by Skype and we are keeping busy doing crafts and crocheting for charity. Our Church friends call us every day to see if we need anything or need for them to go pick up our medicines. We both have underlying conditions that would make getting the virus very dangerous for us.We really enjoy your videos and watch all of them. I think the baby chicks are just adorable and I also love the goats, especially Hope! Maverick and Goose are really funny and We just love seeing all the animals and can tell that you all love them and care for them so much. We are praying for you all! God Bless!
Patricia and Gary Huff, Kernersville, NC
Patricia's Reborn Lovies , well done! I love that you and sister Skype over coffee! My Grandkids across the country and I watched a movie together the other day! Keep safe
My wife and I are also 60+ and trying our best to stay healthy. My wife is working at a Nursing Home and I am at home with Diabetes Type 2 insulin dependent. Like you this virus might be very serious if either of us should get it. Stay safe and God Bless!
My favorite time is the wonderful commentary at the end of your videos, family together enjoying the fruits of their labor, socially connecting and spreading the love.....Thanks so much for sharing these moments as well. God Bless!!
We have fixed quite a few splayed legs on chicken and quail chicks using bandaids. They stick together good but dont stick that hard to the chick. Just wrap each end around a leg, back onto itself leaving the pad part between the legs. The pad leaves the right amount of spacing for the legs to be apart. Usually only takes 24 hours for the legs to set to their new position and the chick is off and running. Bandaids work well for curled feet as well. Make them a bandaid slipper. Straighten out the toes, run the bandaid under the foot and up over the top making sure the toes are straight. Again 24 to 48 hours and they should straighten out.
Lovely chicks! I remember our UPS delivering loudly peeping chicks from Lampkin's Hatchery in Skowhegan, Maine. The driver couldn't "wait" to hand me that box of stressed , chirping chicks! We are sheltered in place and working the farm. Our neighbors have been great! Small local grocery general stores will bring the order to the parking lot if you call ahead. I have discovered that milk freezes fine :-) We have ordered our garden seeds. Can't encourage folks enough to garden this spring! I just bought a nifty seed sprouting tower from Johnnys Seed to sprout broccoli and onion for salads and omelettes.
i have found out also milk freezes fine but i found it a little watery once defrosted though
Maybe you could hang a shower curtain over the front of the door to keep the breeze out when the door is closed
Ohio, doing well so far! Trying our best to stay healthy!
Morning from Texas! I wouldn't put the lights TOO close to the floor. From experience, we had twenty meat chicks, we put the lights TOO close to the floor, and we lost all but six of them!! And, I agree with Ms. Fortin. Enjoy the videos!!
Thanks for sharing your Family with us. I was glad to hear an update on that Chick, I hope she heals and gets better. Maybe a good name would be "leghorn" from the cartoons.
Good evening, Lumnah acres, how lovely to hear the chirp of the little chicks and seeing Olivia preparing the brooder with you Al and cooking with Gina. Those waffles looked lovely, may I ask the make of your waffle machine . We are under lock down here in the Uk and your videos are helping me a lot. Watching all the animals on your farm is so soothing and what you all get up to, your projects etc etc. Have a lovely evening.
In MI we are now under a stay at home order from the Governor. Sent home on 3/16 working from home for week now 3 more to go. Praying for an end by then. Living alone makes this a challenge for sure. Look forward to your daily video for some normalcy. Thank you 🤗💖
Hey Mich. northern Indiana here. We're already 6 days into staying home. We started before it was in affect. Going to take a drive around town today for the last in a while. Remain at home starts at midnight here. Stay safe out there, we can do this.
Faith, we went into lockdown at noon today in Oregon. However, can still go for medical treatments. After I leave the hospital I also have to get dog meds. You ' re not alone. We're all in this together!!
Feel free to reach out.
Olivia is learning from her parents how to be a good homesteader.
and a good person :o)
We are enjoying the down time together doing home projects. Taking care of our baby chicks too.
Aw the baby chicks are so cute! And look at supervisor Figaro too!! :D Mmm blueberry waffles :) Here in Australia we are in lockdown based on we have closed our borders and now all states are closing the state borders. Many have finished their panic buying and are now at home isolating and social distancing. Many have lost jobs overnight too :( But staying in contact with loved ones via FB, phone, Skype :)
11th day in France . It's like living in another world . Boring . Stay safe
We are all adjusting to the new normal. My husband works from my daughter’s room, while I keep our kids (7 and 8) learning each day. We picked up our baby chicks about 10 days ago. Lost one within 24 hours. The remaining 5 are doing amazing! Hoping to get supplies to start our seeds soon (I usually plant directly to the garden, but I am in Beverly MA and it’s a little too cold still for that). We are appreciating the time we have home together, forcing us all to slow down. Kids use Messenger Kids or FaceTime to chat with friends from school and the grandparents. We will get through this, and honestly I think we will all be better for it. Where did you order Olivia’s chicks from (my 7 year old is Olivia also)
Ms. Gina eats like a person with a good hearty appetite!! Great to see that she loves food and is tiny still.
Tanner, was having a good time helping Olivia get the room ready for the chicks, that was very cute!🐥
Good luck with all those wee chicks Olivia!
Congratulations Livy on getting your own chicks👍
Yay!
Great snags Al!
Livy's the house chef assistant from way back.
Yummy!
I hope your little Chicky is gonna be alright. Trudy with the tuft haha!
JO JO IN VT 💕☃😊
Hope your little chick will be ok.
Y’all stay warm,...God keep you.
Tanner is a pack dog .. Tanner will protect everything on that farm !!! ❤
Stay strong, stay safe. Love watching your life on the homestead.
You know, this is actually a gift sent straight from Heaven ! While Olivia is out of School, you could teach her every part of the Business , includes Math and all part's of School and she's so smart, it wouldn't be hard at all ! :)
A wonderful episode!🥰🥰🥰👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We are doing fine here. We are on lock down as well. Only essential personnel and shopping trips. I would love to hang out with Olivia. She is a sweet young lady. I am an Acteen leader at church and have been missing the girls since we are not allowed to meet. Past mission trip pictures have popped up in my Facebook feed. Olivia I wish you much luck with your chickens. I would like to have some myself but I don't have a place to put them at the moment. Al and Gina, I love watching you two work together. Thank you for making my day better and inspiring me to try some new things. Have a wonderful day.
White heat lamps make chicken more aggressive. Switch to red lamps.
