    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

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.

    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...

    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.

    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!

    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.

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!

      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.

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.

    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!

      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!

    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 🤗💖

    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)

    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.
