Hearing you talk about iffy comments reminded me of this gem: A boy was sitting on his porch eating candy as fast as he could unwrap it. A man came and said, Eating so much candy is bad for you and you'll spoil your dinner. The boy answered "My Grandaddy lived to be 102!" "From eating candy? the man asked? "No, by minding his own business!" the boy said.
I agree it blocks the view of the pasture and if you do leave them up, try them in a pattern along the fence line …that would make much more of a punch! I would prefer them decorating a building as it would draw your eye to the outline of the structure.
The license plates look pretty , but in my opinion , they tend to hide the view of the babies . I don’t have any idea , of different way to display …….but I just know that as a viewer , it’s so exciting to see through the fence & see the babies gathered around . Thank y’all so much for all y’all do to share & bring joy to all your viewers , that adore you all so much . Love you all Mary Ann
the license plates give the place a cluttered look, and prevent a good look at the animals. I really liked the look of the plates on your out buildings, so would recommend waiting until you have raised a barn-like building. Having said that, I will eventually love whatever you decide to do. Those pigeons!! Wow!!
What an honor to you, as parents, but especially to Mary Carl, that Ms Chris wanted her to have these special pigeons. Then, to drive them to you! What a vote of confidence and trust. Congratulations.
Hi Jason, Brooke and MaryCarl. I think the licence plates would look better on a wall. I think they look a little messy on the fence, just my opinion. Looks like a nice day there. Take care. 🇨🇦
Maybe if they just stacked them vertically on the posts only. But I agree they kinda of look sloppy hanging from the wire. Plus they will hide the view of the pasture where the animals are grazing.
I have to agree too plus it blocks what’s behind the fence, lol what about the big wood barn y’all have. You still will be honoring those plates and the people who sent them, that way they could go next to each other. And Jason after things calm down build yourself a Manshed (Garden Shed out in the garden area and put some there.
The plates on the fence hide the animals too much. We really enjoyed them on all the outbuildings. That seemed to be the signature of Coghill Farm. The large barn would be perfect... We love being a part of your adventure. My daughter adds "feel free to post 7 days a week"..
If you introduce some chickens into the paddock with Moody they will scratch and claw at the cow pies and help distribute the fertilizer for you and in the summer months they will eat the larvae and help keep the fly population down. Not to mention if the cow pies are scattered by the chickens they will be less of a mess if you were to step into them. lol
I love Mary Carl's modesty. ♥ "it's kinda a big deal when they hatch in zoos" and she's such a wonderful bird owner that she's gifted 2 of them! That girls going places with all her knowledge and passion. The pigeons are lucky to have y'all.
Mary. Carl, you are so blessed. Yes usualy found in zoos only. I love 💘 your collection of. Pigeons & birds. Victoria. Crowns. Are. Beauriful. I am a retired wildlife rehabir for st of. Tex. And retired vet tech.. & share your love for animals and birds. Congratulations. You are very blessed.
Moody is so sweet.Would y'all consider just saving the tags until you build a barn. Then you could put them on the side of the barn. The tags kinda detracts from the view of the chickens. I love watching all the animals .
Good morning. I really like this idea of putting the tags on the barn. I think that they would look so good. It's kinda like Brooke's idea of the tag wall in the house, but would be on the barn where everyone could see them. 😊
How special and sweet that the dear lady wanted Mary Carl to have her husbands beloved pigeons!! That is really hi praise for Mary Carl! And I don’t think that sweet lady could have chosen anyone who loves and takes better care of and loves her festered pets , and also Mary Carl is so knowledgeable and reads up on all her feathered babies !! Enjoy your beautiful new pets sweetie!! ❤️🙏🙋🏻
I really liked the license plates on the building as you had on the old Coghill Farm. It looked awesome and really gave character to the tags. I think attaching them to the new bird housing or a new sweet shop on Coghill 40 is much safer and cooler. MaryCarl is such a lovely and wise child on her birds. I thoroughly enjoy listening to her knowledge on the key elements of different bird species. Her future as an Ornithologist is set if she wants it.
MaryCarl looked so shy on camera when she’s the focus. Thank you MaryCarl for educating us even if it was uncomfortable; we appreciate you and your knowledge. 🥰
I feel it is messy. When you get your barn built then you could put them on it! I think you can put them where ever you want. I love what you are doing♥️
Since you asked, I think the plates obscure the view of the animals. However, it is your farm and you should place them wherever you want. love watching your videos and podcasts. I especially love the care and attention you provide to all of your animals. You are good people.
Is the old barn that was original to the farm still standing? If so, I think that would be an awesome place to put all of your tags. The tags on the fence look kind of messy...not sure if it's the placement or not. It also obscures the view of the animals, and I love the animals!
Oh my goodness with all you are going thru you have to go thru all these explanations too. Anyone who has been following you for 5 seconds knows you research everything and make well researched decisions. Thanks for the awesome way you cover everything
I thought the same thing Sharon Tracy. They seem to me to be good kind people, who would not do anything knowingly wrong to any living thing. I felt bad that they had to explain all that and then some.
I think they explain everything fully partly because there are always 'first time' viewers and because there are always going to be complainers & do-gooders whingeing about something. I feel for them too in this regard.
I think it would be cool if the tags were more of a "border". Instead of randomly spread across the face of the fence (which I think blocks the view of the animals) you could line them up touching across the entire top and down each edge and post leaving the majority of the fence open to see through.
I am waiting to see the secret birds on the outside,they are absolutely beautiful. I am also glad MaryCarl was picked to take care of them . She is young and so smart .God bless this wonderful family. You are so loved.
I'd save the license plates for your outbuildings when you get them. You'll obviously have a pump house, and a feed shed etc eventually, that's what made the old Cog Hill look so quaint! I wouldn't rush trying to put them all up right away when y'all have so many other things to do. Rome wasn't built in a day and we all know, neither will Cog Hill 40! The secret pigeons are GORGEOUS! 😍
We went with the goat and sheep 4x4 panel to line the inside of the hay feeder. The smaller squares keep the stubborn goats from getting their heads stuck. You could use some industrial zip ties or some trusty bailing wire to attach the panel to your cradle. Those are some awesome looking pigeons!
I watched your video…..see I just need you to come down and weld mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I and thinking about maybe using a worm clamp Or it might be a good project for me to learn to weld on
@@CogHillFarm be very careful welding cow panels, they can produce a toxic gas! Check it out first, I believe your hose clamps that tighten with a twist of a screw with be easier and quicker and not cause a fire in your pasture! Safety first😍
Oh my goodness, what an incredible secret you've been keeping from us. Those are by far the most beautiful birds I've ever seen and it came as no surprise that Ms. Chris chose Mary Carl as their new owner and care giver. Her passion, commitment, knowledge and excitement about her birds made it an easy decision for Ms. Chris. She's a beautiful child and her Spirit touches all of us. 🥰
Wow! Those are beautiful birds. Such an honor to have someone feel you are the person to care for them from now on. They made a great choice choosing your family. Since you asked lol, not a fan of the plates on the fence. Blocks the view but it's your property, you do what you like
My heart is so happy that precious Moody is in his forever home. He is such a sweet pet. God arranged for him to have the best home ever with you. I’m so thankful. My favorite family and their beautiful animal kingdom ❤️🙏🥰
The plates block the view of your animals in case something was going on. I think they would look better on a wood building using the plates as siding. Start at the bottom and overlap going upward. Love you guys. Have a blessed day 😃.
The Victoria Crown pigeons are BEAUTIFUL! It shows how respected your family is that people seek you out for their exotic and very expensive birds when they need rehomed. I would love to see the sun gleaming off their feathers!
Yes, I'm sure they will look twice as beautiful with the sun gleaming off their feathers!! They are so special and you are so blessed to have been gifted them for you.
No! Please not a the fence. Nice display but gets in the way of seeing the animals! I love to see the animals even when you're just walking by... Great show! Looking forward to the build!
I don't really like them on the fence, but its totally up to you guys. I like them on the buildings like the old Cog Hill. New place, New style, we'll get to used to however you decide to display them🌻
Hi, you mentioned Hidden Heights, Living Traditions also made a hoop cover with cattle panels and a heavy tarp to keep the round bale dryer in inclimate weather. You guys are awesome and we love watching your journey. You are becoming an animal sanctuary and farm, which is our hope one day.
Hey there! The tags look good on the fence. The only drawback is that it's hard to see all your sweet pets if you put too many up. The way you had it on the building at the old place looked great! Can you put them on the outside/inside of your barn? Or on your new barn when built? Have a beautiful and blessed day!
Oh my Gracious!!! Those Victorian Crowned Pigeons are beautiful. I’m so happy MaryCarl was gifted them. What a special lady to entrust her with them. MC is one special girl. 💖 Love Moody, him and Nugget will be best friends. So cute.
When you build your barn put them on there. On the fence is ok but it blocks the view of the babies. Farm is looking good. Y’all have worked very hard.
Your dairy cow is not bred to be full of muscles, they are a bred to produce milk not meat. So Moody will be lean and keen. ps. In a hurricane, your number plates will be missiles. I think they’d be better off screwed to a wall of your feed shed. Love your show. Your an amazing family for sharing your lives with us. Thank you. 🌸🌺💕
@@wavytiger1 no. Only female cows produce milk but not males (bulls or steers). Dairy cattle are usually not eaten. Different breeds for milk and meat.
Moody has indicated that he wants a donkey friend to come live with him. Though it was subtle, I caught that look in his eyes. 🥳🤣 Mary Carl is such a sweet, smart, well rounded girl! Well done parents!
Those birds are lovely. Mary Carl is a lovely young lady. Listening to her talk about her pets is very interesting. Learning lots of nice things listening to her. Learning lots of things about these pets that I might not have paid attention to. What a wonderful, kind, and compassionate family you are taking such good care of Gods precious creatures. God Bless you.
I like the idea of covering the old barn with the plates. Or perhaps just a single line of plates at the top wire of all of your fences leaving one wire square between each plates. Whatever you end up doing will be fine as long as you like it. Love the new birds! I am a big bird fan and really enjoy watching your family grow your new awesome farm.
I’d rather see the animals through the fence instead of the tags! I was also thinking of strips on the coops. Thank you for sharing and asking our opinion!
Good Gravy PEOPLE, I never seen or heard of so many comment about a cow/steer for Cog Hill, Ive never heard of trimming a cows hooves??? You guys are making a fun expierence a nightmare for these folks!! I donot believe they would ever get any kind animal that they would not 100 percent take care of in all ways!! Hugs Cog Squad!! Your awesome!!
We never had to trim ours much, because they walked on the concrete to go in and out of the milking barns several times a day and this kept them worn or filed down.
I do have to jump in on the comment about the hooves. We have this issue with our cattle. We call them sleigh runners. If they get too long it can take an animal down. Just like our feet, they need attention too.
They are stunningly beautiful birds & I love hearing Mary Carl talk about her beloved birds, she is so knowledgeable & mature for her age. You are bringing up quite a wonderful young lady there!
Mary Carl presents herself so well..shes so smart n definitely knows her birds!! I absolutely adore her!! Yall done well with parenting skills not that theres such a thing! 🥰🥰
My stars, those pigeons are fabulous. Such beauty! Happy that the steer is happy and that Nugget is getting his neck scratched, because HE loves it. Blessings to y'all!
I would like the license plates better on the coop or other walls or wood skirting. Maybe screw plates on wood strips or palettes and then secured to coop. Plates on the fence obscures view of the animals. Even build a wood structure to put plates on. I love watching you guys! Blessings in your new adventures!
I forgot about the license plates. It does look a little cluttered on the fence and I do think they would look better on a out building that you may build later on or if you could clue them on the sleeping quarter’s of all the farm animals. I did want to ask if you were going to get or build a shelter for Moody. Or does he not need one?
Cows actually are strange. As long as it’s not cold or a hurricane outside they typically stay outside and not under shelter. Our milk cow is over at my mother in laws house being bred and hanging out with their cows. They open the barn to them when storms come through and they just stay out in the rain. It’s no big deal for cows. They just don’t care about the rain.
@@BigFamilyRescue Of course... all types of animales, except cats don’t mind a little rain! Stating that Moody doesn’t need a shelter from scorching sun 🌞 or cold winds 💨 & stormy rains 🌧 sounds pretty ridiculous when you mention that your cow does have the shelter of your mothers opened BARN!! How many mature trees do you see on their property... All his animals need a roof & and 3 walls to hunk down against the cold night wind they reported having!! Pft! an animal farm without any kind of shelter? Give me a break!!🤨
I like the idea of displaying the tags on the fence. However, I think I would just put them in a straight line all along just the top of the fence. That way, it would be consistent all around your fences. Just my opinion. As always, thanks for your videos. Love your family and animals!
I like the straight across as well and then the mixture as you go down to the ground look. Might be an OCD thing on my part but the crooked look is making me crazy. Thus why I think straight across the top would sooth that. Or do mixed arrows like on the t.v. show Mash. And place them on the fence.
I am a coghill fan - atic and I love watching the family grow. The problem as I see it with license plates on the fence is that it blocks the view of the critters on the other side of the fence
That is wonderful news about the new pigeons and Mary Carl is the perfect person to choose for their forever home. It is so special and she can share them with the you tube world. Mary Carl is a fine young lady it's going to be fun watching her grow up she is so intelligent and sweet you two have done a great job as parents. Great video thanks for sharing your lives with us!
It’s wonderful to see MaryCarl so happy with her new birds. You can see the enjoyment on her face when she talks about them! What a great honor the family wanted only her to have them,❤️
I was hoping you guys would display the tags on a new barn. Weren't you planning on building one? Might need one if your going to have babies in the future. I hear donkeys are great at guarding livestock.
Jason, you, Brooke and Mary Carl are so loving, caring and if I were an animal I would like to live on the COG 40. Keep on the way you are going. Continued blessings for your family
I just love all the wonderful opportunities the new property has opened up for you guys. That steer is adorable as can be, I just love him! Bringing him home was a great decision.
Love the idea, suggestion, how about making a wooden arch and place the plates on them.That way you can screw them into the wood and it won't block the fence for the animals to see out of. Continued success congratulations on the new family members! God Bless you!
That would be cool! Sorta like metal prayer flags. And if they are on metal rings they would sway with the wind. Maybe deter any hawks from doing a drive by for dinner. And spook deer from dropping in to feed.
I would wait on the license plates - you are creating a whole new beautiful place for your farm - don’t rush it it! I love watching you all - you truly fly by the seat o f your pants ( wherever that expression came from). It is a joy to be so jolted by your new adventures!❤️❤️❤️
I love your farm! I must say that I find the license plates on the fence to be distracting, making it difficult to see the animals. I would prefer them on buildings/coops like at the old Cog Hill. Those exotic pigeons are amazing 🤩
Good morning CogHill family! I enjoy this channel so much!!! I LOVE SEEING THE PLATES ON THE FENCE!!!!! LOVE IT!!! ??? I just wish your videos were longer. I’ve been wanting to say that for awhile. Can we get longer videos???
WOW Those pigeons are stunning! Mary Carl - you are definitely the absolute best person to raise them and how kind of the supporter to bring them to you. She knows you are the BEST! I think the plates along the fence are great - they will be filled in with time and as more come in, you can continue along the fence. Putting them on the coop(s) seems like yet more work you don't need. I wholeheartedly agree with others that it is a shame you must spend so much time explaining or clarifying or defending things you have so clearly already stated - if folks would just watch the whole video or listen to the whole podcast. Thank you for another fabulous video and have a blessed weekend!
I agree with Madden. The property is so beautiful and calming. The very clean and well taken care of animals add to that. The license plates could possibly have a special place to view away from the pens. One of the reasons I love to watch your videos is the awesome care and maintenance for your pets and family. 🌷💕
1x4 or 1x2 on coops with plates on those is my vote for whatever that's worth. 😆 you could hang vertical and/horizontal that way with minimal holes to attach wood to coops. On the fence, it blocks the view of your awesome herd, flock, etc. Love all y'all and your channels.
Jason: "I'm just gone say that is not a pretty chicken". 😂😂😂 I died laughing. MaryCarl is so smart, I'm just amazed at all the knowledge she knows about the animals at such a young age. Great job guys and everything is looking really good. Also I'm just up the road fr y'all in Alexander City, Al. So hello from us here.
I just love the Victoria Crown pigeons and the way they came to Mary Carl. The lady is right that there is no better person to take care of them! But I think it's better to make a sliding lock on the door, because that little hook pops up very easily.
I am with Melissa W. It obscures the view of your sweet animals. The tags are lost on me. However, I did visit a shop in Santa Barbara, CA this week that were selling really cool sayings made from the cut-up tags. Not sports team themed kind. The proceeds could help support your farm & loving animal awareness groups? Maybe someone local could help assemble them. You already have sweet & clever images on your T-shirts, so you don't really need me advising your art/merchandise department! 🥰I love the love & kindness you demonstrate. Thank you!
I miss them on the little house. I’d put them on the side of the pole barn when it’s built. I’ve never seen those type of pidgins, there gorgeous! I wish NYC pigeons looked like them 🤣🤣💙💙 Mary Carl your so intelligent and so knowledgeable. You can see the love you have for your pets. Enjoy them!! Your a great surrogate lil mama. God bless that wonderful women from Texas!!
The current placement of the tags on the fence isn't my favorite. It tends to block the view of the animals too much. You DID ask for opinions ;-) Love the pigeons!! And the Smith family!
This was a great episode once again. I never thought I would fall in love with a emu, but I have come to love the Nugget. Those Victorian pigeons are gorgeous Marycarl what a beautiful gift. 😍 God bless you all on the Cog Hill 40
No tags on the fence please. You can't see the animals. Hold onto them until you have a barn built and put them on the side of it. I love your channel. Ya'll are just so cute.
Moody looks like he is loving life on the 40. That's some amazing pigeons. Never saw one that big. Everybody looks happy and well adjusted to their new home. Good luck getting the water lines run so you can take up the hoses. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
Love it when Mary Carl speaks! She has vast knowledge, great speaking skills with a soft tone. This country horse gal loves seeing our children grow on our farms. Would love to see more of her out telling us the birds' names and facts about them. Y'all are great for sharing your beautiful farm with us.
I agree with most comments concerning the tags obstructing the view of the animals. Either in a straight line near the bottom of the fences or on the old barn or keep them for later when you do erect some building they can been attached to.
It's your call, really, about the tags, but since you asked... I'm not crazy about them on the fence that way... mostly because it seems to block the view of the animals. The animals seem like they'd have a bit of a blocked view out as well, depending on their heights too. I liked the "cuteness" of the plates at the old farm & I understand why you wouldn't want to put them on the new buildings, but I think since you already have sooo many you could try them in a couple different locations like your prayer flags as well. It's looking great as a whole already & you guys have gotten sooo much done since the move. You should be very proud! Love MaryCarl & her latest "flock additions".❤❤❤
I’m so excited for Mary Carl , about her pigeons !!!! She is such a sweet polite and highly knowledgeable young lady !!! Can’t wait to see the aviary, once it is built !!! Bless the ladies heart , that gave Mary Carl the pigeons . They will be so loved and taken care of . So sorry for the loss of her husband .
Love the pigeons! Looking forward to the aviary. I don't care for the plates on the fence. It impedes sight into the pens. I think they would look so much better on a structure(s) like the way you had them originally.
The numbers plates look Awfully untidy . Like it where the were before . The pigeons are so splendid and all are so sweet . Love pigeon , love their songs . In Europe we keep them free to come and go not coop up . But l understand they are very special you would not want to risk to loose them , will look amazing in the new Aviary . MARYCARL is growing in a vey smart amd sweet young girl , and so loving to all her birds and animals . It is a joy to get your videos and watch your family. I tell all my friends to watch you , hope they do.
Love your routine with the animals…Moody looks soooo well settled now, he’s adorable…about the licence plates …I think I agree with some other suggestions to keep them for the bard out another out building x x 🥰🥰🇬🇧🇬🇧 Those beautiful pigeons….how wonderful ❤️❤️
To Mary Carl: beautiful new babies!!! I have been raising a simple pigeon for the last 5 years since his mother died. He's VERY smart, trains easily, and lives to cuddle under my chin. He shows affection by grabbing between finger and thumb to bounce. (I've seen wild ones also show this action of affection.) They "burble" when happy and kinda coo when wanting attention. He lives to play "horsey horsey trot down town" on my foot when I sit down! Haha I named him Pterra since he looked like a pterodactyl as a baby. Enjoy them girl... they're so delightful!!!
Hearing you talk about iffy comments reminded me of this gem:
A boy was sitting on his porch eating candy as fast as he could unwrap it.
A man came and said, Eating so much candy is bad for you and you'll spoil your dinner.
The boy answered "My Grandaddy lived to be 102!"
"From eating candy? the man asked?
"No, by minding his own business!" the boy said.
Linda that's a good one!
I agree it blocks the view of the pasture and if you do leave them up, try them in a pattern along the fence line …that would make much more of a punch!
I would prefer them decorating a building as it would draw your eye to the outline of the structure.

When you are petting Moody, his eyes roll back in his head he loves it so much. What a big ole baby. Lol
I noticed that too 🥰
What a lovely backstory regarding the provenance of the Victorian pigeons! Lucky for MaryCarl and well deserved!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!
The VICTORIA CROWN PIGEONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
the license plates give the place a cluttered look, and prevent a good look at the animals. I really liked the look of the plates on your out buildings, so would recommend waiting until you have raised a barn-like building. Having said that, I will eventually love whatever you decide to do. Those pigeons!! Wow!!
This is just a take off of Ede’s comment
Use the plates to spell out
“COG HILL FARMS “
just to demonstrate the pride of the family
That’s my exact thought! It’s just too busy! Distracts from the animals.
agreed, my first thought is it takes away the view of the animals so I hope they decide on something else
I was thinking same it looks cluttered and cant see animals wait till get barn and hang them on it
I agree with Ede-jo. Too much clutter.
What an honor to you, as parents, but especially to Mary Carl, that Ms Chris wanted her to have these special pigeons. Then, to drive them to you! What a vote of confidence and trust. Congratulations.
Can you help me I would like there address so I can send Mary Kate something please
Mary Carl not Mary Katie
Hi Jason, Brooke and MaryCarl. I think the licence plates would look better on a wall. I think they look a little messy on the fence, just my opinion. Looks like a nice day there. Take care. 🇨🇦
I agree. It's messy for sure. I think they'd look better on a sheet of plywood then just set it up someplace neat and tidy. Maybe on the old barn?
Maybe if they just stacked them vertically on the posts only. But I agree they kinda of look sloppy hanging from the wire. Plus they will hide the view of the pasture where the animals are grazing.
I would rather see the chickens. Put them on the barn when you build it. That's more your quirky style.
I have to agree too plus it blocks what’s behind the fence, lol what about the big wood barn y’all have. You still will be honoring those plates and the people who sent them, that way they could go next to each other. And Jason after things calm down build yourself a Manshed (Garden Shed out in the garden area and put some there.
Try alien tape sticks both ways. Suppose to hold for a long time. They have it on qvc. That is where I got mine
The plates on the fence hide the animals too much. We really enjoyed them on all the outbuildings. That seemed to be the signature of Coghill Farm. The large barn would be perfect...
We love being a part of your adventure. My daughter adds "feel free to post 7 days a week"..
The license plates on the fence line looks cluttered and chaotic. Love the addition of Moody to the farm though! He is too sweet. 💜
If you introduce some chickens into the paddock with Moody they will scratch and claw at the cow pies and help distribute the fertilizer for you and in the summer months they will eat the larvae and help keep the fly population down. Not to mention if the cow pies are scattered by the chickens they will be less of a mess if you were to step into them. lol
Awesome idea! I’ve seen lots of farmers do that.
I love Mary Carl's modesty. ♥ "it's kinda a big deal when they hatch in zoos" and she's such a wonderful bird owner that she's gifted 2 of them! That girls going places with all her knowledge and passion. The pigeons are lucky to have y'all.

I really liked the license plates on the building as you had on the old Coghill Farm. It looked awesome and really gave character to the tags.

I feel it is messy. When you get your barn built then you could put them on it! I think you can put them where ever you want. I love what you are doing♥️
Mary Carl is such a precious young lady. So happy for her being gifted the pigeons. The nice lady couldn't have re-homed them to a better family ❤

I agree. Now I don’t have to say it!
I definitely wouldn't add more in spaces so the camera can see the animals.
I agree, it doesn't allow us to see the animals
Agree
I vote no on the tags on fence.
Oh my goodness with all you are going thru you have to go thru all these explanations too. Anyone who has been following you for 5 seconds knows you research everything and make well researched decisions. Thanks for the awesome way you cover everything

No plates on the fence to much clutter💞
I think it would be cool if the tags were more of a "border". Instead of randomly spread across the face of the fence (which I think blocks the view of the animals) you could line them up touching across the entire top and down each edge and post leaving the majority of the fence open to see through.
Maybe line them up on the top wire by moody. License plates.
I like this idea alot!
I liked them on the buildings better. On the fence they block the view of the animals and on back to the tree line. Just my opinion.💕
Aww Mary Carl is not only smart but she’s humble and kind, like her mama and daddy🥰
I am waiting to see the secret birds on the outside,they are absolutely beautiful. I am also glad MaryCarl was picked to take care of them . She is young and so smart .God bless this wonderful family. You are so loved.
I'd save the license plates for your outbuildings when you get them. You'll obviously have a pump house, and a feed shed etc eventually, that's what made the old Cog Hill look so quaint! I wouldn't rush trying to put them all up right away when y'all have so many other things to do. Rome wasn't built in a day and we all know, neither will Cog Hill 40! The secret pigeons are GORGEOUS! 😍
We went with the goat and sheep 4x4 panel to line the inside of the hay feeder. The smaller squares keep the stubborn goats from getting their heads stuck. You could use some industrial zip ties or some trusty bailing wire to attach the panel to your cradle. Those are some awesome looking pigeons!
I watched your video…..see I just need you to come down and weld mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I and thinking about maybe using a worm clamp
Or it might be a good project for me to learn to weld on
@@CogHillFarm be very careful welding cow panels, they can produce a toxic gas! Check it out first, I believe your hose clamps that tighten with a twist of a screw with be easier and quicker and not cause a fire in your pasture! Safety first😍
"Do they call them cow patties, if your just a steer?" I LOVE IT!
Cow patties out of a steer! Too funny. 😂
Practice tossing them for contests.
Oh my goodness, what an incredible secret you've been keeping from us. Those are by far the most beautiful birds I've ever seen and it came as no surprise that Ms. Chris chose Mary Carl as their new owner and care giver. Her passion, commitment, knowledge and excitement about her birds made it an easy decision for Ms. Chris. She's a beautiful child and her Spirit touches all of us. 🥰
She's turning out to be quite a pretty girl as well.
Wow! Those are beautiful birds. Such an honor to have someone feel you are the person to care for them from now on. They made a great choice choosing your family. Since you asked lol, not a fan of the plates on the fence. Blocks the view but it's your property, you do what you like
My heart is so happy that precious Moody is in his forever home. He is such a sweet pet. God arranged for him to have the best home ever with you. I’m so thankful. My favorite family and their beautiful animal kingdom ❤️🙏🥰
Isn't that the truth! Jason, Brooke and Mary Carl are amazing family andBibam so thankful they share their life with all of us! 🙏❤🙏
The plates block the view of your animals in case something was going on. I think they would look better on a wood building using the plates as siding. Start at the bottom and overlap going upward. Love you guys. Have a blessed day 😃.
The Victoria Crown pigeons are BEAUTIFUL! It shows how respected your family is that people seek you out for their exotic and very expensive birds when they need rehomed. I would love to see the sun gleaming off their feathers!
Yes, I'm sure they will look twice as beautiful with the sun gleaming off their feathers!! They are so special and you are so blessed to have been gifted them for you.
No! Please not a the fence. Nice display but gets in the way of seeing the animals! I love to see the animals even when you're just walking by... Great show! Looking forward to the build!
I don't really like them on the fence, but its totally up to you guys. I like them on the buildings like the old Cog Hill. New place, New style, we'll get to used to however you decide to display them🌻
Hi, you mentioned Hidden Heights, Living Traditions also made a hoop cover with cattle panels and a heavy tarp to keep the round bale dryer in inclimate weather. You guys are awesome and we love watching your journey. You are becoming an animal sanctuary and farm, which is our hope one day.
In my opinion they really need to be on a building like before. To me that was perfect. This hides the animals that we love to see.
I agree 👍🏻😊
Hey there! The tags look good on the fence. The only drawback is that it's hard to see all your sweet pets if you put too many up. The way you had it on the building at the old place looked great! Can you put them on the outside/inside of your barn? Or on your new barn when built? Have a beautiful and blessed day!
Since the pigeons have been a secret for a while, you can call them "The Secret Service"! 😁
Oh my Gracious!!! Those Victorian Crowned Pigeons are beautiful. I’m so happy MaryCarl was gifted them. What a special lady to entrust her with them. MC is one special girl. 💖
Love Moody, him and Nugget will be best friends. So cute.
When you build your barn put them on there. On the fence is ok but it blocks the view of the babies. Farm is looking good. Y’all have worked very hard.
Agree. Live to see the animals.
Your dairy cow is not bred to be full of muscles, they are a bred to produce milk not meat. So Moody will be lean and keen.
ps. In a hurricane, your number plates will be missiles. I think they’d be better off screwed to a wall of your feed shed. Love your show. Your an amazing family for sharing your lives with us. Thank you. 🌸🌺💕
I didn't know they had hurricanes there. But yes they should screw them into a shed or barn wall
HE is a steer (a castrated bull) and will never produce milk. And yes he’s kinda skinny.
@@mpalermo9708 dont they still breed for certain traits regardless if male or female?
@@wavytiger1 no. Only female cows produce milk but not males (bulls or steers). Dairy cattle are usually not eaten. Different breeds for milk and meat.
@@Tricia_56 they are definitely in hurricane country.
Moody has indicated that he wants a donkey friend to come live with him. Though it was subtle, I caught that look in his eyes. 🥳🤣
Mary Carl is such a sweet, smart, well rounded girl! Well done parents!
😁🤣😁👍
Donkeys are so LOUD!
What about a minature donkey?
@@CogHillFarm please consider going to your local auction and rescuing a donkey to save them from slaughter if you decide to get one!
@@WebMasterTim that's what I love about them! 🤣
Those birds are lovely. Mary Carl is a lovely young lady. Listening to her talk about her pets is very interesting. Learning lots of nice things listening to her. Learning lots of things about these pets that I might not have paid attention to. What a wonderful, kind, and compassionate family you are taking such good care of Gods precious creatures. God Bless you.
I like the idea of covering the old barn with the plates. Or perhaps just a single line of plates at the top wire of all of your fences leaving one wire square between each plates. Whatever you end up doing will be fine as long as you like it. Love the new birds! I am a big bird fan and really enjoy watching your family grow your new awesome farm.
The barn is an excellent place for the plates. OR you can attach corrugated metal to the coops & hang them on that. I love to see them 😍💕
I like the single line idea...or arranged on a big barn wall. Right now, the fence looks like it is the center of a political campaign
Off the fence! On the side of a barn. We love to see the animals.
I’d rather see the animals through the fence instead of the tags! I was also thinking of strips on the coops. Thank you for sharing and asking our opinion!
Good Gravy PEOPLE, I never seen or heard of so many comment about a cow/steer for Cog Hill, Ive never heard of trimming a cows hooves??? You guys are making a fun expierence a nightmare for these folks!! I donot believe they would ever get any kind animal that they would not 100 percent take care of in all ways!! Hugs Cog Squad!! Your awesome!!
We never had to trim ours much, because they walked on the concrete to go in and out of the milking barns several times a day and this kept them worn or filed down.
Trimming cattles hooves though not common; is done. Depends on few factors.
Watch the Hoof GP.
I do have to jump in on the comment about the hooves. We have this issue with our cattle. We call them sleigh runners. If they get too long it can take an animal down. Just like our feet, they need attention too.
They are stunningly beautiful birds & I love hearing Mary Carl talk about her beloved birds, she is so knowledgeable & mature for her age. You are bringing up quite a wonderful young lady there!
Mary Carl presents herself so well..shes so smart n definitely knows her birds!! I absolutely adore her!! Yall done well with parenting skills not that theres such a thing! 🥰🥰
Makes perfect sense that these two beautiful birds would become part of MaryCarl’s flock. What a wonderful gift 🥰♥️
My stars, those pigeons are fabulous. Such beauty! Happy that the steer is happy and that Nugget is getting his neck scratched, because HE loves it. Blessings to y'all!
I would like the license plates better on the coop or other walls or wood skirting. Maybe screw plates on wood strips or palettes and then secured to coop. Plates on the fence obscures view of the animals. Even build a wood structure to put plates on. I love watching you guys! Blessings in your new adventures!
Yes a wooden structure would be good i not keen on them on the fence looks a bit messy looking
The tags on the fence blocks the view of the animals. I think on the coop with 1x2s. It doesn’t matter if the coops move.
I forgot about the license plates. It does look a little cluttered on the fence and I do think they would look better on a out building that you may build later on or if you could clue them on the sleeping quarter’s of all the farm animals.
I did want to ask if you were going to get or build a shelter for Moody. Or does he not need one?
yes moody needs a shelter. no one likes to stand in the rain and wind especially if its cold
Cows actually are strange. As long as it’s not cold or a hurricane outside they typically stay outside and not under shelter. Our milk cow is over at my mother in laws house being bred and hanging out with their cows. They open the barn to them when storms come through and they just stay out in the rain. It’s no big deal for cows. They just don’t care about the rain.
Plant a tree.
@@BigFamilyRescue
Of course... all types of animales, except cats don’t mind a little rain!
Stating that Moody doesn’t need a shelter from scorching sun 🌞 or cold winds 💨 & stormy rains 🌧 sounds pretty ridiculous when you mention that your cow does have the shelter of your mothers opened BARN!!
How many mature trees do you see on their property... All his animals need a roof & and 3 walls to hunk down against the cold night wind they reported having!! Pft! an animal farm without any kind of shelter? Give me a break!!🤨
Wow the pigeons are so beautiful and very expensive,you are so lucky the lady gave them to you.
I like the idea of displaying the tags on the fence. However, I think I would just put them in a straight line all along just the top of the fence. That way, it would be consistent all around your fences. Just my opinion. As always, thanks for your videos. Love your family and animals!
Yes, that would look much better.
Yes. Try that on another section to compare how it looks. Thanks for sharing with us.
I like the straight across as well and then the mixture as you go down to the ground look. Might be an OCD thing on my part but the crooked look is making me crazy. Thus why I think straight across the top would sooth that. Or do mixed arrows like on the t.v. show Mash. And place them on the fence.
I agree, it would also help keep the fence from sagging. I like bei g able to see through the fence to see animals.
I am a coghill fan - atic and I love watching the family grow. The problem as I see it with license plates on the fence is that it blocks the view of the critters on the other side of the fence
I absolutely love when you give Mary Carl the camera and let her do all the informing. My daughters always love hearing her info on her birds.
That is wonderful news about the new pigeons and Mary Carl is the perfect person to choose for their forever home. It is so special and she can share them with the you tube world. Mary Carl is a fine young lady it's going to be fun watching her grow up she is so intelligent and sweet you two have done a great job as parents. Great video thanks for sharing your lives with us!
The pigeons are amazing. MaryCarl you are so blessed to have them. What an honor.
Wow, Mary Carl has some really amazing pigeons....thanks for sharing!
It’s wonderful to see MaryCarl so happy with her new birds. You can see the enjoyment on her face when she talks about them! What a great honor the family wanted only her to have them,❤️
I like the look of the tags on the fence but it blocks the view of the animals. Maybe just have them in a couple rows along the top.
Mary-Carl is a very special young lady. Her knowledge of birds is amazing.
I was hoping you guys would display the tags on a new barn. Weren't you planning on building one? Might need one if your going to have babies in the future. I hear donkeys are great at guarding livestock.
Love the idea of tags in a barn as a feature , I always think how tidy your property is but in my opinion on the fence looks messy.🙂
Jason, you, Brooke and Mary Carl are so loving, caring and if I were an animal I would like to live on the COG 40. Keep on the way you are going. Continued blessings for your family
You can see moody has been a pet he’s so sweet natured and he’s been brought up with love and affection ♥️ sending love from uk 🇬🇧
Congratulations MC on your new birds.
You are the right person to take care of the pigeons. 🤗
I think the plates would look better on your barn. Moody is such a cutie! The VC pigeons are so beautiful! Take care and God Bless ❤️
I just love all the wonderful opportunities the new property has opened up for you guys. That steer is adorable as can be, I just love him! Bringing him home was a great decision.
Mary Carl's pigeons are wayyyy cool .
Love MOOdy, he's lovable .
God Bless
Love the idea, suggestion, how about making a wooden arch and place the plates on them.That way you can screw them into the wood and it won't block the fence for the animals to see out of. Continued success congratulations on the new family members! God Bless you!
That would be cool! Sorta like metal prayer flags. And if they are on metal rings they would sway with the wind. Maybe deter any hawks from doing a drive by for dinner. And spook deer from dropping in to feed.
I would wait on the license plates - you are creating a whole new beautiful place for your farm - don’t rush it it! I love watching you all - you truly fly by the seat o f your pants ( wherever that expression came from). It is a joy to be so jolted by your new adventures!❤️❤️❤️
The expression "fly by the seat of your pants" came from the early days of airplanes and from the barnstorming days of performing flights.
Mary Carl knows so much about birds. Those two Victorian Crowns are stunning. ❤❤❤❤
I love your farm! I must say that I find the license plates on the fence to be distracting, making it difficult to see the animals. I would prefer them on buildings/coops like at the old Cog Hill. Those exotic pigeons are amazing 🤩
Good morning CogHill family!
I enjoy this channel so much!!!
I LOVE SEEING THE PLATES ON THE FENCE!!!!! LOVE IT!!!
??? I just wish your videos were longer. I’ve been wanting to say that for awhile. Can we get longer videos???
WOW Those pigeons are stunning! Mary Carl - you are definitely the absolute best person to raise them and how kind of the supporter to bring them to you. She knows you are the BEST!
I think the plates along the fence are great - they will be filled in with time and as more come in, you can continue along the fence. Putting them on the coop(s) seems like yet more work you don't need.
I wholeheartedly agree with others that it is a shame you must spend so much time explaining or clarifying or defending things you have so clearly already stated - if folks would just watch the whole video or listen to the whole podcast.
Thank you for another fabulous video and have a blessed weekend!
I agree with Madden. The property is so beautiful and calming. The very clean and well taken care of animals add to that. The license plates could possibly have a special place to view away from the pens. One of the reasons I love to watch your videos is the awesome care and maintenance for your pets and family. 🌷💕
Moody is lovable you could tell he was looked after real good. He is like a great big puppy dog. I love how he wants to love on Nugget❤❤❤❤❤
1x4 or 1x2 on coops with plates on those is my vote for whatever that's worth. 😆 you could hang vertical and/horizontal that way with minimal holes to attach wood to coops. On the fence, it blocks the view of your awesome herd, flock, etc. Love all y'all and your channels.
Jason: "I'm just gone say that is not a pretty chicken". 😂😂😂 I died laughing. MaryCarl is so smart, I'm just amazed at all the knowledge she knows about the animals at such a young age. Great job guys and everything is looking really good. Also I'm just up the road fr y'all in Alexander City, Al. So hello from us here.
I raised regular city pigeons for 30 yrs just love them also had fantails and modina's.finally when moved I got a pair just recently
Love the victorians so purty
I just love the Victoria Crown pigeons and the way they came to Mary Carl. The lady is right that there is no better person to take care of them! But I think it's better to make a sliding lock on the door, because that little hook pops up very easily.
I am with Melissa W. It obscures the view of your sweet animals. The tags are lost on me. However, I did visit a shop in Santa Barbara, CA this week that were selling really cool sayings made from the cut-up tags. Not sports team themed kind. The proceeds could help support your farm & loving animal awareness groups? Maybe someone local could help assemble them. You already have sweet & clever images on your T-shirts, so you don't really need me advising your art/merchandise department! 🥰I love the love & kindness you demonstrate. Thank you!
I miss them on the little house. I’d put them on the side of the pole barn when it’s built. I’ve never seen those type of pidgins, there gorgeous! I wish NYC pigeons looked like them 🤣🤣💙💙 Mary Carl your so intelligent and so knowledgeable. You can see the love you have for your pets. Enjoy them!! Your a great surrogate lil mama. God bless that wonderful women from Texas!!
Pigeons are territorial and will fight over their nests, you need to isolate their nest boxes with a divider between nests , a solid plywood wall
The current placement of the tags on the fence isn't my favorite.
It tends to block the view of the animals too much.
You DID ask for opinions ;-)
Love the pigeons!!
And the Smith family!
This was a great episode once again. I never thought I would fall in love with a emu, but I have come to love the Nugget. Those Victorian pigeons are gorgeous Marycarl what a beautiful gift. 😍 God bless you all on the Cog Hill 40
Mary Carl is just a lovely young lady, and all of her birds are in excellent hands.
No tags on the fence please. You can't see the animals. Hold onto them until you have a barn built and put them on the side of it. I love your channel. Ya'll are just so cute.
Moody looks like he is loving life on the 40. That's some amazing pigeons. Never saw one that big. Everybody looks happy and well adjusted to their new home. Good luck getting the water lines run so you can take up the hoses. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
Love it when Mary Carl speaks! She has vast knowledge, great speaking skills with a soft tone. This country horse gal loves seeing our children grow on our farms. Would love to see more of her out telling us the birds' names and facts about them. Y'all are great for sharing your beautiful farm with us.
I can’t imagine how folks got Moody’s mission at Cog Hill confused…he is a handsome Farm Friend!💙💙💙
I agree with most comments concerning the tags obstructing the view of the animals. Either in a straight line near the bottom of the fences or on the old barn or keep them for later when you do erect some building they can been attached to.
It's your call, really, about the tags, but since you asked... I'm not crazy about them on the fence that way... mostly because it seems to block the view of the animals. The animals seem like they'd have a bit of a blocked view out as well, depending on their heights too. I liked the "cuteness" of the plates at the old farm & I understand why you wouldn't want to put them on the new buildings, but I think since you already have sooo many you could try them in a couple different locations like your prayer flags as well. It's looking great as a whole already & you guys have gotten sooo much done since the move. You should be very proud! Love MaryCarl & her latest "flock additions".❤❤❤
I’m so excited for Mary Carl , about her pigeons !!!! She is such a sweet polite and highly knowledgeable young lady !!! Can’t wait to see the aviary, once it is built !!!
Bless the ladies heart , that gave Mary Carl the pigeons . They will be so loved and taken care of . So sorry for the loss of her husband .
Love the pigeons! Looking forward to the aviary. I don't care for the plates on the fence. It impedes sight into the pens. I think they would look so much better on a structure(s) like the way you had them originally.
The numbers plates look Awfully untidy . Like it where the were before . The pigeons are so splendid and all are so sweet . Love pigeon , love their songs . In Europe we keep them free to come and go not coop up . But l understand they are very special you would not want to risk to loose them , will look amazing in the new Aviary . MARYCARL is growing in a vey smart amd sweet young girl , and so loving to all her birds and animals . It is a joy to get your videos and watch your family. I tell all my friends to watch you , hope they do.
Love your routine with the animals…Moody looks soooo well settled now, he’s adorable…about the licence plates …I think I agree with some other suggestions to keep them for the bard out another out building x x 🥰🥰🇬🇧🇬🇧
Those beautiful pigeons….how wonderful ❤️❤️
To Mary Carl: beautiful new babies!!! I have been raising a simple pigeon for the last 5 years since his mother died. He's VERY smart, trains easily, and lives to cuddle under my chin. He shows affection by grabbing between finger and thumb to bounce. (I've seen wild ones also show this action of affection.) They "burble" when happy and kinda coo when wanting attention. He lives to play "horsey horsey trot down town" on my foot when I sit down! Haha I named him Pterra since he looked like a pterodactyl as a baby. Enjoy them girl... they're so delightful!!!
Tags on the Barn 👍🏼 not the fence. The birds are beautiful
