Nice sunset! And proud of you for being able to stick through no matter how busy your days are. Go Crystal, go BCDG!
With all the long days, your videos never fail to make me smile!
Love seeing the dogs and cat at the beginning, can not get enough of running goats and goats following you guys , close up grazing goats, the affection you show your bucks , and you both together... I think I have covered it all !!!!!! Thank you for cheering all of us up and helping us to feel good !!!
I think I smiled thru the entire recording absolutely beautiful. Thank you for recording your journey. epic fencing looks great loved the environment friendly posts. I can't single any one thing out I really enjoyed watching your vlogs. Epic.
Love your videos, I look forward to them everyday...
If you guys would like some gardening tips to help with faster and healthy plant growth, I can give you some tips. 😊 I got a super late start this year yet I got to start harvesting on time, if you would like the tips let me know. 😊
I love the music!!! I just have to say that you made my day! The animals are happy the music is so joyful it brightened my day just a bit😎😁😀
I agree!
The ducks are asking for a larger swimming pool. They said it’s a self-esteem thing, that builds community when they can all go to the pool together. 🏊♀️🦆🏊🏻♂️ 😎
You are one of my absolutely one of my all time favorite channels. Thank you so much for making videos - I know its time consuming etc but I really appreciate your channel. Thank you!!!
PS would you also post duck recipe cooking videos?
Such beautiful goats and animals . Love your animals and channel
Omg Maybelline is so stunning!😍
Well she looks like upgraded may LOL
She's going to be a grand champion like her grandmother i can see that!
I think so too!!
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats I think you just need one more girl from Elsa!😀
I swear I do!! I need her to throw me a Swiss marked doe! That's what I'm holding out on
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats
That would be awesome!
That one swiss boy last time she had was stunning!
You voiced my thoughts about putting the No-breed-Does with the wethers: the play and activity will be good for them! Running and jumping around with those boys will help develop muscles and growth!
The wethers are also super friendly, so the does would remain tame and calm. Good use for that large pen.
Absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the opening of the video! Would love to see more videos start that way! The music was great! The little bits showing off all the animals was perfect!
Everest has some serious dairy wrinkles! 🧡
Yes!!! 😍
You 2are so cute. Thank you for sharing your lives and animals with everyone ❤️, may God bless you abundantly 🙏🙏🙌🙌❤️
Love my shirt and cup.
Thanks for sharing
Black and white ducks, goats, and dogs.
Yay!!
After all that has been going on out there...I ordered Delaware Broilers..They are a Dual purpose Bird so your not stressed about having to process in 7 weeks...From what I read these use to be what was in the Grocery Stores? They lay Brown eggs and I ordered from 2 different hatcheries so not crossbred(not sure it matters\_(",)_/) when I continue to hatch out chicks...from what I read were used before Cornish Cross- 12 weeks to process /280 eggs a year...All we can do is Try❤
Funny when you said and here comes Elsa. All the other goats ran off when she came up. Love watching your channel. All your animals are so well taken care of and loved. Such a happy family thanks for sharing
The doelings are so sweet. Love all your ladies and bucks. Just love your videos.
I really like how you showed all your animals around your place 🙂
I was waiting for a video.
So funny Per Dog, Always looks wore out & 14 yrs old. He is so cute . At night , Is his, Working shift. He Just so cute.
Love those mornings! Great video. I love goats crunching noises. Oh my goodness the way you picked up the wether by his back legs, i cracked up, that was funny.
😁 I needed to see!
Try a Red Sussex. DUEL BREED so Meat and Eggs Meat ready in around that 12 week mark still.. Mamas go real broody too
Art and Bree just ordered some Red Sussex.
@@davidj.mackinney6568 i know they are so PUNKY looking as chicks too :)
Bucks are looking super clean with summer hair cuts, your garden is looking good....love watching the does playing running to the new area!
Thank you for the beautiful scenery and music.
Life on the farm is bustling and blooming, well done guys 👪🏡👍
The kids have grown so much. The shoes were a surprise!
Lots of great things happenin', thank you for sharin'! :)
The bucks are fighting and starting to act ruttish already!
Won't be long till October!
That goat milk looks so good!!!
Yay for the taters!!!
Derek --- those beds look gorgeous!!!
My 94 year old mom JUST suggested we use part of our unused garden for lettuce and radishes.
The beds look so tidy. I'm jealous!!
The kids might get a kick out of Glass Corn next year...it's pretty and super decorative for Thanksgiving.
How soon until breeding those Kunekunes?
Derek, when you let us know how you overcome the duck stink....I'm interested!
LOVE the montage at the beginning!! So great to see all the animals, especially the girls. Lodi for president!!
That was a very cool video love it when you two collaborate and are both in the video
Silkies are so broody you can put any eggs under her and she will hatch them.
Mine this year have been trying to hatch eggs allllllllll summer.
I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY COFFEE CUP FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!! I love your channel a lot. It's really motivating to see how well your family works together as a team. I can't wait for breeding season and to see all new baby goats! They're all so beautiful! Thank you for having such amazing content!
🤗🤗
Thank you for such great informative videos. I love how all your family is involved in your farm. I have learned so much about goat births, & goat care from watching your videos. You can only learn so much from reading the goat books.
Red Sussex chickens! Eat and breeding. Broody hen on any eggs. Like raised boxes in the shade. We used pallet wood and screened in the front, top and sides, and split up the cage into four sections for laying and hinges in back boards to get eggs. We then built a ramp up to one of the sides where we cut the screen. Hung that piece of the screen over the hole with zip ties to swing it down at night. This was in the high dessert too. Nice update on everything Blue Cactus! Love the music. Blessings
Emily has shoes on???? What is this madness!
Hot dirt is almost as bad as hot cement!
Hi I’m a goat lover I don’t know about chickens but Justin Rhodes grows them all the time. I’m sure he’s the one to ask. Love your channel and I can’t wait for breeding season all over again. Bye for now
Good morning all the farm appears happy .
This is a good one Crystal as others have said. Us true goat lovers can. Watch all day. Lacy n the head scratch. You have Yucca I have brushes n astro turf on spools and cinder blocks. My space is small 50x40 for 2 +. I get to watch out my bathroom window. I can stand there for 20 min in the morning. So fascinating! Thanks again!
The opening vlog watching all the animals in the morning in the quiet was awesome and so peaceful. Your goats and all your animals are so well taken care of you can tell how much they are loved❤️ Do you leave them out all day to graze? Love you guys hope you have a wonderful week❤️❤️❤️
Cheers! Enjoyed the update for the homestead!
Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing...God bless...☝🙏💪👍
Silkies are a type of chickens that tends to go broody every year and can hatch up to 10 eggs under them.
You need to get a couple Game fowl. They are the best moms to what ever egg you put under them. They are very broody too and will set at least 2 times per year. Plus most game fowl breeders have too many hens
Your goats are all beautiful and healthy looking....Everest and lucky are beautiful bucks.. I would definitely love to get their offspring's when I get my farm....
The boys are feisty!
Enjoyed the video especially baby goats
Love the train I hear in the background ! I was raised across the road from a train track in Michigan ! I miss that sound at night around here in WV ! Love watching you with your goat heard and learning from the way you take care of them ! Thanks for sharing !
Great Crystal, Greetings for you and all family.
Watching you with your goats, makes me think of my favorite movie The Sound of Music . You are the goat herder! Watch it the movie. This is a good thing i like it.
It's all so beautiful
A wise word, Do your heavy watering in the late nite, so the heat of the sun don't give cause for evaporation from your soil. Awesome vlogs, positive viewing, thanks
They are adorable!
Derek I believe the speckled Sussex is the chicken you are wanting dual purpose breed, calm, broody, good size to eat and good egg layer - Bri from the Art and Bri channel just had some arrive on there channel today after she did her homework and spoke to Murray McMurray Hatchery for their advice as well - she got a batch of roosters to harvest in 12 weeks and some hens and will keep one rooster to breed replacements
Yep just mentioned that also 👍
Look at Dorking Chickens. They lay more eggs in the winter then other hens and are 3rd best in broodiness. For whatever reason, the hens will become broody after laying approx 35-50 eggs. Also, good foragers and are a healthy meat chicken. Males 9lbs, Females 7lbs. They are classified as an ancient breed.
The soap is beautiful.
Finally got my shirt ordered...won't have it for pic next Tuesday though. I would love a hat if ya'll ever make them! Thank you making life brighter with your videos!
🤗🤗🤗
If any of your milk ever goes sour, aside from feeding it to your pigs, you can also pour some on your tomatoes. Tomatoes LOVE the acidity in sour milk.
Good to know!
Good mormimg Miss Lodi.
Hope you have a good day.
Love the opening!
Love the beginning of the video
I have Buckeyes. They are dual purpose birds (meat and eggs) and very sweet! They get very big and are docile. My 10 year old plays with them, even the two roosters!
Partridge and Buff Chanteclers are very very broody but they won’t work for you. They are bred for cold climate so would likely die of the heat. We are in Colorado and have had very good luck with them making enough birds to sell some hens and eat roosters. Haven’t bought chicken in about three years.
They are so cute
So so enjoyed your video oh heck I always enjoy them
I loved today's interaction with all the animals. What about a small greenhouse to grow greens for the goats.
I love your channel and weed em and reap ♥️❤️
Puts a smile on my face!😊
Hahaha bet y'all did enjoy the 40° drop
I really like how you
Beautiful intro!!
Your solid color ducks are hens, the pretty multi color are all Drake's.
Your videos make my day 👍🙌✌️
Black Laced Silver Wyandotte Chickens are great broody hens
We found 4 watermelon today, 2 of them are very tiny. I was ecstatic.
Yay!! It is pretty exciting lol
general rule of thumb is to keep 1 drake per three hens. I got lucky with mine and have 4 each; so 4 breeding pairs, and when I incubated 16 eggs I had 14 hatch out. I credited the number of drakes I have with the high fertility rate in the eggs. Just my thoughts on how many ducks you have. My ducks also out-lay my chickens. In this heat I'm only getting 2 chicken eggs a day. I get 4 duck eggs every day, though.
Pied piper🐐🐐
I sent you some cute cactus molds for soap! I hope you got them
Derek just checked the PO Box and they were there! They are so neat! Thank you!!
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats can't wait to see those!
Hello, greetings, I wish you luck and success in your life.
Hy-line Brown chicken, or the barred rocks have always been good for use on a standard breed.
Dreamer is so beautiful. Your children are almost taller then you lol
Wow...Everest is getting huge! I love the silly boys and how they grunt at each other. Lucky is a special boy =) Lots of Lodi screen time for the fan club too! Lol!
So, totally off topic, but were y'all there when the Phoenix Lights went over? I've been curious about that...
Phoenix lights?
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats Yes, that huge formation of lights that over 20,000 people saw in 1997...it was right over the area of the state that y'all are in...it was scary...or better still, crazy stuff lol
Edit: The Phoenix Lights en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights
Oh!! I thought you meant recently.
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats Lol! I wouldn't put it past there being more! But that one was spooky enough...considering the Travis Walton incident happened in Arizona too!
I work at assited3 living ..ol fart a resident LOVES lodi..( wants her to have an all black blue eyed polled doeling lmfao.well he can have his delusional dreams but imma gonna freak out if it happens lol..he calles whoa nellie NO nellie..he swears she will have nice yung uns with right buck..says what buck do shes haves most girlies ( which buck produces mostly girls..says men are the same some produce mostly boys or girls not up to mammy up to pappy?? Says nellie be good for 4..love the old bastard..but i keep loosing my bets..and money..we have bets on lodi and nellie 5 bucks..why he likes nellie i dont know..lol not sure i should share his advice on how to tame her..hes very old..lol
But hilarious..
Love what you are doing with the animals. You care so much about how they are, I like how you are honest about culling these animals.
My road island reds lay eggs like crazy and they get pretty good sized for eating
I loved the intro. It was so relaxing. Just love Lodi so much, my favorite by far. I cannot wait to get a farm and have you breed of goats. Garden looks good.
Silkie chickens are great mom
It’s 14 degrees here in the UK or 57.2 Fahrenheit, the temperature you mentioned is our max summer heat!
😳
Check out Australorp Chickens. Quiet, chill, pets. Raised for meat and eggs... does well in heat. They are black... so yea.. they need shade. I dont have them... just read about them. I will have those and Muscovy Ducks some day.
It does look like Dreamer may fully keep her heart! I remember we were all so worried she'd lose it as she ages but it's stuck around so far, so fingers crossed.
For chickens: I'd say look at Jersey Giants, Red Rangers/Freedom Rangers, and if you don't mind an ugly chicken the Turken/ Naked Necks. Just some ideas. The main thing is trying to find something that has good food conversion and can deal with the heat.
I like the Red Island Reds they are good egg layers and good brooders get you a rooster that ain't no cans of them hands and then you won't have you a good set of chickens you know it takes Thirty 30 days for them chickens to hatch them eggs but they made these are cute and they're big and brown I get a two dozen to three dozen a day. Thank you for your Channel may God bless you all
lol... between you leading the herd out and the video camera person in the back... i saw about 5 light ones start to turn... and then went forward. Said to myself... "wow.. the crazies are going out with the rest?" Yea... we like your channel, but not taking notes... lol ;)
Those bucks are beautiful. They have deadly aim with their pee though. I had 2 large Buicks for a while. I think I'm engaged to one. He peed on me from 5 feet away. That was before the 6 feet rule. Everytime I turned my back on him he tried to mount me. It really got wild when the antelope herds across the road from us started their riutt and the does go go into season. I guess they are closely related to goats even though they are a different species.
HaHa "I think I'm engaged to one." Be careful turning your back! Thanks for the smile.
Go watch Bri & Art’s RUclips channel with today’s video, they just talked about a breed that can be eaten (meatier breed) very broody also. It’s a red chicken but don’t remember the name but she talks about it. They got them from McMurry hatchery. Very reputable hatchery 👍
We like our Sussex hens for dual purpose chickens.
I just have one thing to say...LODI!!!!
🤣
Never go into the pig's pen in sandals lol! Our male likes to try to lick people's toes and tried nibbling on them. Its the grossest thing ever lol.
Key West chickens are super broody, prolific, great moms, lay a ton of eggs. The eggs are small though and they are a smaller chicken but not as small as bantams. They have been living feral on Key West for over 400 years and can forage and take care of themselves. There are rescue groups where you can get some. We got ours 10yrs ago.
We have one of our KW hens raising 12 heritage turkeys we ordered from Ideal Poultry hatchery as day old poults, right now. They are gawky teenagers now. and about twice her size but she puts them in their place lol. Its the funniest thing ever. KW hens will raise just about anything. We found stray kittens under one last winter. staying nice and warm.
