I really enjoy seeing how much care and attention you give to all your animals. It's clear they are well loved. I'm always disappointed when I see animals that are mistreated, it sad. But you obviously love them all very much. Great job with that.
Such sweet, spoiled kitty cats! They're so lucky to be your cats. Hats off to you for being such a beautiful soul with a good heart. There are so many heartless, cold people out there today, seeing you is like a breath of fresh air. You're a gem and there's a special place for souls like you in heaven. ❤
Chad, your filming style is so, so good. We get to see everything from different viewpoints so seamlessly! The flowers and gardens are really beautiful. I just love those cats and Olive so much, and to see them all happy is amazing 😻
Your channel is a game changer for me and my mum. She has late stages of early aged dimentia, and I just put your channel on, and she loves it and falls asleep. No more anger and pacing, a massive shout out to you Chad,Remi,Olive and the rest of the gang.. oh P.S Fuzzy is known as fat cat in our house and you the pig man lol, Mum also says "fatcat she is pregnant" 😂 can't argue with dimentia ❤❤
Very kind of you, I know very well what dementia does to a person as my Mum was in the early stages (she’s passed now) it’s great that you can find out channel something to help keep things somewhat sane. And it’s very true, you can’t argue cause no matter what their brain thinks they’re right ( even when wrong lol)
So sorry Bubbles got off to a bad start. 😢She is so darling. I just want to love her let her know she is safe. Speak softly and loving to her. She needs to know she is safe. ❤❤❤
Oh the cats are so cute, love watching them on your farm.. the geese are still funny to watch running, the ducky parade was awesome. 🦆😻Your garden is just amazing 😊
@@HiddenSpringFarm I enjoyed watching your video as me and husband likes gardening too, but we don't have animals however we used to keep 25 layers and 25 fryer chickens and I used to sell the eggs.We are retired now lived in the village of Slocan,B.C. of 300+ people ,we still do gardening and I sell some of our produce at the store here in Slocan 🥰 I am also a pilipina from Biñan,Laguna
What you can do is pick some of the male flowers and store them in a fridge in a paper bag...then when you see the female flowers bloom in a week or so, you can use the male flowers from the fridge to pollinate the female flowers.
Awww, I would want to bring every one of those cats home with me, but ESPECIALLY Fozzy. I love how Maggie is so fond of Olive. She is so cute and petite. Olive is an absolute sweetheart.
If you paint the hardware cloth black it virtually disappears and looks very very nice and classy. You will see the turkeys much better. Love all your cats especially Fozzy, Dexters shine and Chonks coat in bright daylight looks silver tipped. They are very handsome cats. ❤❤❤ from the Mitten 🇺🇸
Love the visits to Ontario farm country well patrolled by the kitties and puppies. Your place is special because of all of its caretakers, especially the humans. Fun on the farm indeed!
The garden is beautiful. Your wife is good at planting things. I love the cats and the rest of the animals. Olive is adorable. The farm is great, because you and your wife work hard to make it that way. I always enjoy watching your videos. Have a great day. ❤❤😊
Since Bubbles is basically an indoor cat, she needs interactive playtime to "hunt and catch prey" at least 15 min. twice a day with a wand toy, that will also create a bond with her. ❤ i love ur catico and warm indoor cat home.
I do, she likes this fishing rod thingy with a fish on the end, she plays with me a lot. I’ll film it one day so you guys can see her being playful. She won’t play with any of the little balls though, I think it’s not her thing.
Yes! the toys need to be interactive so she can 'catch' the prey, and playing everyday 2 times a day, i know ur really busy , but doing that consistently will enable u to create the bond u need to let her out with her family. Sorry i am so very invested in her well being mental happiness, my cat passed away and i always wish i would have done more💗much love
You can pollinate them by hand, brush up some of the pollen from the male flower and transfer it to the pistil on a female flower. I know it is hard work to do it this way. I love how Billie talks to you. Thoughts and Prayers.Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Yes I know, another method is just take the m flower and push the stamen right into the f flower. But there are no female flowers that’s the issue, not exactly sure why…any ideas. Someone else says we planted them too close together, but the fact that they all grew nicely and have lots of m flowers I guess it must be weather related.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Yes Chad I am thinking along the same line. The weather. I found something that is of interest. Pumpkins produce male flowers when young and later female flowers as they mature. Once there are male and female flowers on the plant at the same time, the fruit should start to appear.
Hi farm stay family!! I adore watching the videos!! Thanks so much for sharing your time with us! I wonder if the cats roll and rub to get their scent to be camouflaged. They all start their day smelling of cat scent! LoL I dunno LoL The tomato plants in the pig pen!! Amazing how that happened! And seems like she's leaving it alone cuz she wants the tomatoes to grow 🪴 Fozzy at the end with his one speed.... "I move as fast as I wanna." Fozzy
Really enjoyable video! Love how Maggie loves on Olive. Was Maggie always a skinny girl? The flowers look beautiful too! Everything just lowered my blood pressure this morning, thank you!!
Yes Maggie was always small. We got her along with Dexter and Chunk as wild kittens and she was the smallest. She has lost a lot of weight since winter and has yet to gain any back, they usually gain weight to protect themselves from the cold.
@@HiddenSpringFarm she may have worms or kidney disease, not to scare you, but two of mine have kidney disease and they're skinny. But they're eating kidney food and slowly gaining weight.
Maybe the pumpkins didn’t like the unusually hot weather. Loved Billy with her own tomato patch. Wonder if she will eat them off the vine when they ripen? This vlog captured the essence of a perfect later summer day with all your friends around. Great seeing Remy in her garden too. You can tell she loves it. 😻
You could easily have a spinoff channel featuring just the cats. You could put a cat cam on Chunk or Dexter Morgan and see things from their perspective.
@@HiddenSpringFarmIt's amazing the similarities in vegetation between Horseshoe Valley and Massachusetts. Every tree and plant I've seen in your farm we have here in Massachusetts
Sounds like a lot of work, I’ll need half dozen kids for that 😂 how big is this thing for pigs, must be huge and is it predator proof? I’d have to search his videos to get an idea.
Another fun day on the farm! Always great when I see a post from you Chad! I look so forward to watching what you, your darlin’ and the farm animals get up to! Your garden is coming along so well! It looks great! A lot of growing going on! Olive and your furry companions are always so nice to see and watch! I’m glad you found the air tag for your cat’s collar! A good day all in all! Thanks for having us come along with you!
Gooooooooooooood morning everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I always enjoy seeing the cats. Would you take in more stray cats if they showed up on your farm?
Love your farm Chad! I had the same problem with my squash, but at first there's only male flowers and after the female flowers appear. Greetings from Chile :)
pigs have been known to be the cleanest farm animal around. If given the opportunity they will have toilet in one spot and sleep in another. Therefore Billy must be pooping in one spot until the tomatoes took over and then she went to another. Awwww, sweet Billy. Gosh, I can't imagine what went wrong with the pumpkins. My friend just plants them where ever and get HUGE things. She only plants about 5 and every one gets huge produce. What the heck?
Been watching some of your work from when you've first started hidden spring farm you've come along and it's very impressive what you've accomplished in the time you've been there great job bud👍🏻 keep up all the great hard work and say hi to fozzy for us ❤❤
Fozzy is such a cool dude! I love his slow walk. He lives life on his own terms! Also I think it would make a great video to do enrichment for the pigs… ball feeders, toys, frozen treats etc. I think it could get a lot of views from people looking to entertain their pigs.
Love all you videos even the sad ones. Is little Tago gaining weight? Cause she was in season and then spent the night out. Mmmmmm xxxxx. Cute if so. But hope not for you. You gave enough to do. Xxx lots of love xx
@@JaneAtkins-m6s I thought she had gained a bit of weight but she was wailing the past few days so I don’t think she’s pregnant as the weight hasn’t progressed.
Also a possibility but the other cats were like that with Molly too, it’s taken a few years to make them nice and I was shocked to see Dexter come up to my wife for pets. Fozzy is good with everybody, even strangers but all the other cats are very weary and are usually only good with me. Then again even I have difficulty with Mango & Bubbles.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Yup, sounds like cats to me. I like their independence - it means that my cats entertained themselves when I wasn't around and didn't suffer from lonliness. Dogs do. They'll eat your shoes as a hint. It's been 10 years since my last cat passed on and I still miss the playful company.
@@HiddenSpringFarm oh you don't need a brush just when you see a female flower that's open pluck the male flower and take off the petals. Use the pollen that's on the male flower like a paintbrush and paint it on the female open flower. That's all you do :-) paintbrush provided by God 😉
@@paulinejensen7968 this is only 60 seconds but shows it very well. Calling in my Cats by Name #shorts ruclips.net/user/shortsntGcvlZiZY0?feature=share
You have too many pumpkin plants… That’s the problem… Next year when you plant them plant half of what you’ve got now and I can almost guarantee you you will get a ton of pumpkins. Pumpkins need a little bit of space to grow and they’ve crowded each other out…. Same thing with your watermelons…. my grandpa taught me how to plant stuff like this and he told me that sometimes less is more the more they have to grow the more they will produce, but if you have too many plants together, they’ll choke each other out…
@@HiddenSpringFarm yep…. They need space to grow…. My grandpa and grandma planted anything that grew on the ground as vines like that at a minimum of 5 feet apart… they always had a huge harvest of pumpkins, watermelons, cantaloupe, cucumber, egg plant etc….
We have done ducks, especially when we hatch too many drakes. They taste just fine but much different than chicken. It’s all dark meat and a bit greasy and gamey. My wife make a Filipino dish called duck adobo, it’s not bad but I prefer chicken or turkey myself. The dogs love the duck but the cats won’t touch it.
@@HiddenSpringFarm I hope you get them soon. How many growing days do you have left before estimated first frost dates? I’m in central Texas so I know we have till late November-ish most likely. I hate the heat but longer growing season is a decent perk if my fruit and veg don’t boil on their stems in 101-110 Fahrenheit
@@jackiel9536 oh boy pumpkins are usually the last thing to harvest from mid Sept to mid Oct after that it’ll start to get frosty. But considering we don’t have any fruits yet they’ll have to fruit and grow in 1.5 months or so. Highly unlikely for full size pumpkins I think.
@@HiddenSpringFarm yeah, I’ve read they have a very long time to grow till able to harvest. I have watched all your videos, but I forget, did you start them inside back near January or February? I’m so new to the gardening/homesteading world but I’ve been binging on anything gardening I can find as it satisfies my desire to have a huge garden till we have our own (non-HOA) land.
I am having the same problem with my squash. All male flowers, few female. I have had to save male flowers and pollinate the female flowers when they open up. I have heard a lot of people having this problem. Many think it's gov ern ment. Not wanting us to have food to eat. Dont know but i wouldn't put it past them. Don't trust. LOVE YOUR FARM AND THE VIDEOS. So much love on your farm. GOD BLESS!!
@HiddenSpringFarm the male flowers will only last about a day. I put in ziplock bag and kept in house till female opened. Some of them didn't get to use waiting on female flowers. 😕 Sad.
In a previous video he said he feeds his cats twice a day, WHAT? No wonder some of his do not always make a kill. DO NOT feed your barn cats. Let the find their own food. You can give them a plate of milk in the evening. That is what my family did on their farm in Europe. My family never made pets of the barn cats. They should be semi feral if you want them to be good hunters.
I’m sorry but if you don’t train your barn to know that this is their new home they may wander off. I’ve had this experience with Fozzy although I trapped him to get him back after 3 days. Majority of the time cats hunt for sport and feeding them has no bearing on whether they will hunt or not. I feed our cats once in the evening for dinner and it’s at the same time I call them back in to be protected. I guess we can agree to disagree cause my opinion is using your system if by chance your cats don’t catch anything that day they will not eat, that’s not how I want to do things. Our cats still catch rodents all the time even though I feed them. I don’t believe you are wrong but your method is not my preference. Thanks for the exact same comment on 10 of my barn cats videos, you must have copy and pasted all those comments eh, cheers.

@@HiddenSpringFarm yep…. They need space to grow…. My grandpa and grandma planted anything that grew on the ground as vines like that at a minimum of 5 feet apart… they always had a huge harvest of pumpkins, watermelons, cantaloupe, cucumber, egg plant etc….
Have you ever harvested your ducks? If so, are they a good taste? Or don't eat them they're horrible? 😊❤
We have done ducks, especially when we hatch too many drakes. They taste just fine but much different than chicken. It’s all dark meat and a bit greasy and gamey. My wife make a Filipino dish called duck adobo, it’s not bad but I prefer chicken or turkey myself. The dogs love the duck but the cats won’t touch it.
I’ve heard that the male flowers form first then the females develop
That’s true, but let’s hope we get some be female flowers soon or we won’t get any pumpkins.
@@HiddenSpringFarm I hope you get them soon. How many growing days do you have left before estimated first frost dates? I’m in central Texas so I know we have till late November-ish most likely. I hate the heat but longer growing season is a decent perk if my fruit and veg don’t boil on their stems in 101-110 Fahrenheit
@@jackiel9536 oh boy pumpkins are usually the last thing to harvest from mid Sept to mid Oct after that it’ll start to get frosty. But considering we don’t have any fruits yet they’ll have to fruit and grow in 1.5 months or so. Highly unlikely for full size pumpkins I think.
@@HiddenSpringFarm yeah, I’ve read they have a very long time to grow till able to harvest. I have watched all your videos, but I forget, did you start them inside back near January or February? I’m so new to the gardening/homesteading world but I’ve been binging on anything gardening I can find as it satisfies my desire to have a huge garden till we have our own (non-HOA) land.
@@jackiel9536 my wife started 12 indoors the rest were sowed directly 😀
I am having the same problem with my squash. All male flowers, few female. I have had to save male flowers and pollinate the female flowers when they open up. I have heard a lot of people having this problem. Many think it's gov ern ment. Not wanting us to have food to eat. Dont know but i wouldn't put it past them. Don't trust. LOVE YOUR FARM AND THE VIDEOS. So much love on your farm. GOD BLESS!!
I didn’t even think about saving them I’ll have to try it 😉
@HiddenSpringFarm the male flowers will only last about a day. I put in ziplock bag and kept in house till female opened. Some of them didn't get to use waiting on female flowers. 😕
Sad.
Bro I would not eat those tomaters. Unless its the apocalypse.... yeah I'll eat those ones. Whatever it takes.
@@MrTickingtime haha nope I’m not eaten em, they grew right out of a petrified poo 🤮
first

In a previous video he said he feeds his cats twice a day, WHAT? No wonder some of his do not always make a kill. DO NOT feed your barn cats. Let the find their own food. You can give them a plate of milk in the evening. That is what my family did on their farm in Europe. My family never made pets of the barn cats. They should be semi feral if you want them to be good hunters.
I’m sorry but if you don’t train your barn to know that this is their new home they may wander off. I’ve had this experience with Fozzy although I trapped him to get him back after 3 days. Majority of the time cats hunt for sport and feeding them has no bearing on whether they will hunt or not. I feed our cats once in the evening for dinner and it’s at the same time I call them back in to be protected. I guess we can agree to disagree cause my opinion is using your system if by chance your cats don’t catch anything that day they will not eat, that’s not how I want to do things. Our cats still catch rodents all the time even though I feed them. I don’t believe you are wrong but your method is not my preference. Thanks for the exact same comment on 10 of my barn cats videos, you must have copy and pasted all those comments eh, cheers.
Also, nice to see Darlin feeling more comfortable making appearances 👍😎
Anything gardening is her domain, she’ll most likely disappear come winter time 😂
