Wow! your buck is studly ; )... That's hard losing chickens like that, I've lost chickens to a predators. I know your loss. THX for sharing and God bless..
I have lost whole flocks of chickens a few times. Bobcats in particular. Last winter I lost a flock. Bobcats again. They took 3 with them, but they killed every last chicken. It is so frustrating and disheartening. We had a hard time getting chicks this year, but we finally found some pullets. The farmer next door raises purebred Aricaunas for FFA and the like mostly...show chickens. He gave us 2 recently. One is the rarer silver.
Januaryish 🤣 my tshirt say's Adultish lol, I am 66, not time to grow up yet, love this family, I would love you as neighbors and friends, God bless you and your beautiful family 🕊
What a beautiful sight, seeing those pigs savoring that juicy red ripe watermelon. The chickens seemed to be enjoying it too. Funny, I never would have thought chickens would like watermelon too. The bunnies are just beyond cute with their watermelon treats. So sorry to hear about your casualties, but that's farming for ya. Take care and hugs to you both.
Sorry about the chickens, its so good to see you grow your farm, and you both do such a great job with explaining all you are doing. It's also lovely to not have any dramas with political, and health issues all over the Globe discussed.. Take care and stay healthy.
oh my you're pigs have grown so much they are beautiful they're going to make your plenty of feed for the winter God bless you and keeping it real Mississippi girl love it
Sorry to hear about the loss of your chickens , 😔, and congratulation on the two new guys to your farm, wishing you all the best , hope you can replace the loss chickens, 😊👍💕💕💕
Hi @Sawyer Ridge Farm! I love that you traded bucks with Dutch. He was a big boy from the day he was born and always stood out amongst the herd. I think he'll mature into a handsome buck like the one you already have. I'm sorry to hear about the chickens. Any loss to a flock hurts. That is a devastation though. Those baby bunnies are too cute! The pigs are looking good too! I can't wait to see what other additions are going to be made.
Sorry to hear of the loss of Alex's chickens, remember her talking about them. That young buck is already getting big, he is going to make a marvelous addition to your herd. I remember my mom making tunnels for the chickens to take them into the rows between the plants in the garden. So much better than having to hoe each row. Each tunnel was three feet tall and easy to move, which we did every few days. Good luck on your battle against the predators. Prayers.
Those pigs are really 👌 enjoying themselves eating the watermelon 🍉 😋 and playing in the water!! I must admit that the bunnies were so much cuter eating 😍 the watermelon 🍉 😍!!!! I have seen a lot on RUclips lately about the problem with the raccoons!!! I am truly sorry for the loss of your chickens. I hope that you are able ❤ 💓 to enjoy getting 😊 some of them again especially for Alex. Everything is looking 👌 great 👍 so time to get the varmints!! God Bless you guys and your hard work around your place!!!
Sorry to hear about the chickens. Pigs look like they are totally enjoying their pond. The new buck definitely looks like he could be a descendant of your old buck. Looking forward to see what the new buck throws.
Thank you Vera! 😊 I had a huge response in regards to the braids, so I’m not sure on availability if I can even ship them due to regulations on shipping produce.
@@SawyerRidgeFarm I hadn't thought of regulations. Bummer! Disappointing. Enjoy your videos, stay sweet and humble! You need to introduce Jason to some sweet young ladies. I use your egg peeling technique! Loved the demonstration on the garlic braids. Will have to get my daughter to plant us some so we can do them. Hope your life is blessed! You bless us with the glimpses into your lives and your Chtistianity!
I love y'alls videos! Not only is the photograph outstanding, so is the content! I'm so sorry about your chickens. I only have 8 and to lose any of them would be devastating. On a good note you have another beautiful buck! Love your hat Jacob! ❤
love your sight. love the way you take such good loving care of your farm I live in central Mexico and am too old to do all that you do but so enjoy watching you sorry about your chickens.
Jacob and Alex, another great video! I love your music choices on this video! You all are getting better and better creating your videos. Darn predators!
I'm so sorry to hear about the chickens. Alex was so happy & excited to get that breed & they were doing so well. The raccoons, mink, snakes, coyotes etc all seem like chickens as much as we do. I hope you are able to get rid of those aggressive raccoons! Maybe a hotwire fence that gets turned on at night after the birds get in will give any future predators a change of mind and get them to move on?
Black Copper Marans are awesome looking birds. Me and a buddy of mine had breeding coops of Black, Blue and Splash Copper Marans a couple years ago and they were great layers all year long plus they were nice big birds. I’m currently raising some Lavender Orpingtons
Those are some happy pigs. Sorry for the loss of the chickens. But that is life on a farm. You will have predators. Perhaps maybe some traps catch take them off to a river let them go. Once they find a good source they are hard to get rid off. Love your videos. Ty for sharing. Looking forward to seeing some new fur babies with the new buck
My little miniature dachshund killed all my Cornish cross. 12 of them. I know the time factor disappointment. Not the money but the labor of love to have them taken. Sorry that happened to you and your flock. Nice looking buck. See ya next round.
Bummer about the chicks, my fav are the black coppers, really sad. Electric fencing!! Your goats look healthy and happy. I agree with another commentator, no drama, love you two your goin to the top growing your channel fast. Keep up being yourselves no b.s. no drama. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story with us. P.S. thanks for showing us the braided garlic trick, Alex. If you want to sell I’ll buy one from ya!
I had some white onions 🧅 that were still small. I pulled them and braided (8 bundles of 6 asst size). Trimmed the roots and varied the sizes....just like Alex showed in her tutorial. Hope to plant them again as onion sets. Very nice...pretty. Great tutorial...inspired me to try. 🎚You guys rock. 👫🏼
Jacob, what are your thoughts on a Guard Goose ? I never here of the issue with predators having that big of an advantage with some other homesteaders I watch that have a goose.
i use to free range my chickens also, once the racoons find your chickens they are not safe. I then built a 6 foot fence and kept them in there. At 230 in the afternoon I came out and saw a racoon taking one of my chickens over the fence, I have since enclosed the whole top which took a week as the coop fenced area was so big. No more missing chickens. Good luck, sorry for the loss.
Just as I was missing you two, there's a video. Really sorry about your chickens, can the 4 not taken rebuild what you had or will you need to get more? The pigs are looking good. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤
CONGRATULATIONS on the Buck!!! He's going to be a Big One!!!!! Pigs and chickens are looking good hate you lost your chickens!! What happen to the bloopers at the end of the videos I love them I used to laugh so hard!!!!! God Bless
So sorry about your chickens. At first I was thinking you were gonna say it was a hawk. Never knew raccoons were so viscous. Looking forward to seeing your solution for detouring that from happening again.
Sorry for your Marans. I was hoping to buy some from you one day. Those racoons were hungry I guess?. But try again. Nice new buck and the pigs are getting bigger. Nice new hat and nice of the Vetern to send you one. Stay Blessed ☺
Jacob, I just watch a video from Morehead homestead. Bo had set a trap and caught a possum. I personally had raccoon problems a few years ago. I set a trap out and caught three raccoons. You might need to trap them because they will continue to come back.
So sorry about the chickens guys, Alex I know you were expecially excited about those. Hopefully you can get those predators taken care of. Those pigs were so happy,🐷they love the watermelon. I'm kind of jealous, I want some watermelon, it's so expensive here it's a rare treat for me 🍉
I see the pigs, rabbits and chickens enjoying the watermelon. How is your cantaloupes doing? I love watching and waiting to see how your garden is doing. I have learned a lot about gardening watching your videos.
Man that’s frustrating guys! We just lost 12 of our chickens last week to 4 raccoons that we know of so far. Eight in one night and 4 the next. I’ve managed to trap or shoot them this last week or so and also trapping an opossum every night for the last eight nights. Predators are bad this year. I’ve read that bc it’s so hot out they’re normal food isn’t moving as much even at night so the predators are hunting further out than normal. Good looking goats though guys.
Beautiful opening shots, guys! The color saturation was gorgeous. ~ Sorry about your chickens; I love Black Copper Marans, too, Alex. Your buck swap seems great, though.
Loved seeing the pigs being hand fed the watermelon.
Love the beginning how your video starts.The photography is great. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Cynde! 😊
Thx for the update always a pleasure watching your videos . Be safe , prayers for you all 🙏
Good morning! The new buck does resemble your other buck, will breed some awesome looking kids.

Your corn looks really good!

We are 68 and in our second year homesteading...it's just a number...
You are never too old to do something if there is a will, there is a way.

The bunnies are just beyond cute with their watermelon treats. So sorry to hear about your casualties, but that's farming for ya. Take care and hugs to you both.
So, I guess the buck stops there! Oh, two bucks in Canada is called Toonie. Love your channel. Keep up the great videos. From Welland Ontario 🇨🇦. Lol.
Sorry about the chickens, its so good to see you grow your farm, and you both do such a great job with explaining all you are doing. It's also lovely to not have any dramas with political, and health issues all over the Globe discussed.. Take care and stay healthy.

Just realized the pigs did a good job on the pond. Its holding a lot of water, even threw this hot dry spell. Good job piggy, wigglys. Lol
Aw poor chickens 🐥. The Buck goats do look very alike, good looking bucks. Love watching the pigs x
So sorry to hear about the problems with the raccoons. Predators are a nightmare. Love your channel. Love that you and Alex shine for the Lord.
Sorry to hear about the chickens. Pigs look like they are totally enjoying their pond. The new buck definitely looks like he could be a descendant of your old buck. Looking forward to see what the new buck throws.
Alex ..both of you are so sweet! Wish you did more videos. I really would love to buy one of your garlic braids.
Thank you Vera! 😊
I had a huge response in regards to the braids, so I’m not sure on availability if I can even ship them due to regulations on shipping produce.

Thank you! 😊
Your place is awesome! Many blessings 🙏❣️
Thank you! 😀
@@SawyerRidgeFarm Alex, hou can I get one of your garlic braid? Do you sale it? How can we pay you?
Older buck is Good Looking. Like a King of goats. Predators seem to like chicken like we do, Plus there easy pickens, even in a chicken house.
Had to say it . Not herd but flock 😁👍I knew it was a slip of the tongue.
Great vlog missed Alex🤣
Thank you your service...........
Thank you!
Your intro....wow! Good job on the camera work! How frustrating about the chickens! I’m sorry it was the ones that you were so excited about!
Thank you so much Steph! 😊

Sorry about your chickens. Really enjoy your channel.
I love your setup and love watching your videos. I want to have somthing like this when i get home.
Good evening my Friends 😁🏆
Sorry Jacob & Alex about your chickens 🐓 your new Goat 🐐 is cute I hope he’s not a fence jumper : )

Good video. Nice looking lil buck

We honestly just haven’t had any lately. When we do, I love to put them in there, but we never try to stage them just for the video.
So sorry about your chickens. At first I was thinking you were gonna say it was a hawk. Never knew raccoons were so viscous. Looking forward to seeing your solution for detouring that from happening again.
Love watching the piggies 🐖

Beautiful opening shots, guys! The color saturation was gorgeous. ~ Sorry about your chickens; I love Black Copper Marans, too, Alex. Your buck swap seems great, though.
I forgot about that opening shot the monster on that tree was gorgeous. I loved it there including nature shots
great video with explaining the doubling up of male animals..so sorry about the chickens..
Need to zap those fences.
Another great video 😊😊
I really enjoyed your opening it was just beautiful. I'm sorry you lost your chickens I hope you will be able to replace them soon.
Thank you so much! 😊
