      Jake Pickett ...I agree one hundred percent. Coyotes are very hungry up there right now, along with every other predator. Most people don’t know how high coyotes can jump straight up. Crazy high!

    • @bettablue2660
      @bettablue2660 4 года назад

      Jake Pickett ...they actually can jump up tp 13+. I’m an animal rehab volunteer and have learned lots about our wildlife. It’s the end of winter and these guys are desperate. I hop all stays well for them.

    Good afternoon New Ham Shire .... hope Willow is doing well. Little P is showing you what a goat can do when they want to ... she's always been a jumper as you well know. Best of luck with all your farm goings on ... btw ... I would plug that hole above the door in the birthing stall .... bobcats can get through just about anything they can squeeze their head through. Take care AL, Gina & Olivia.

    I'm watching , for the first time, from my computer monitor. My wife and I have been watching, together, on our 75 in living room TV. I have never been able to read or leave comments until now. We enjoy following your progress as you grow you homestead. Keep up the good work.

      We have been following you guys for about two years now. I found your channel because I was looking for a video on, How to build a chicken tractor. I watched your $30 chicken tractor video and that was it. My wife said to me , " wow, that guy is very organized, you should pay attention and learn something!" been watching every since. But no amount of watching is going to make me as organized as Al Lumnah! Al is somewhat of a perfectionist and I'm a "that'll do" guy. LOL!!!!

    • @southalabamafishingchannel2352

      Told my wife, " I'm going to build a new Chicken coop" she said, " maybe you should hire someone with some skills, like Al, we know how your chicken coop is going to turn out!" I said " yep, your right!" So, if I could get Al to come down to South Alabama, to build me a chicken coop!

You work harder doing all this than most folks do working outside the home...so we appreciate you taking us along, inspiring and teaching while you learn stuff yourself. You all have done a phenomenal job!!! Tip of the hat 🎩! Now let’s get the job done Willow!!😁 And the pigs 🐖!! Let’s not forget the pigs 🐷!! Stay safe and healthy! Our prayers for you all!

    Good morning Al ,Gina and Olivia. Excellent job on the goat birthing bay! Reminds me of horse stalls. And the camera is a great way to check. I remember my former neighbor would put a baby monitor in the sheep stalls. That was back in the 1970s! Now it feels like I have taken a trip back in time, as we implement all those Mother Earth skills we learned back then. We used to barter goods and services, since none of us had any surplus money!
    I can see that returning. The internet has given you a wonderful platform to teach people how to homestead. It is invaluable, especially today.

    With them jumping out the open top doors would it be worth it to make replacement doors for the summer months using the same fencing you used for securing the birthing stall? A nice screen door for the goats to let air in and keep them from getting out.

    I had a feral cat get into my patio room screened window to get the rabbit I had in there. The bunny hid under cover squealing, I ran in there and that cat ran like a lizard up and down and all around the walls and screen like something I’ve never seen. Then it made it to the window screen it came through. I’d hate to see a bobcat get in there. Winter pickings are sparse. Praying for safety.

    If they can get out the half door, they also can get out of the green gates too. They are the same hight and once they learn they will do it again. You should close off the top of the door to be safe anyway. If you hinge the door on the other side you could go all the way to the roof with the wire fence. Also make the door open to the outside, because your goat may be behind the door when she gives birth.

I know plenty of reliable people that have seen tracks. My Aunt lives in VT and has seen one a couple of times right in her backyard. Very, very close. She was on her back porch, I would have been in the door and probably locked it, lol.

      Dito, Dito, you have done such a beautiful job by protecting your girls with the addition of wire above the door and wall already and I know that I would sleep better if you could use some fence staples and attach a scrap of the wire to the rafter to just above the door, it does not look like a very large space to cover. those new babies would be to tempting fora large cat. Love your channel.

      A big cat could and certainly would get through that. It's a bait house for cats. I live in the area ya'll and am good at anything. I am available at this time (unemployed) and offer my service to you as a volunteer (off camera so your channel stays as is). contact me if interested davegotoit@yahoo.com

    That is a cool camera system. I like how you can watch and move the camera on your phone. Hope Willow's labor goes easy for her. You don't put up video's on Wednesday's, I think we are going to have a hard time waiting until Thursday!
