Thanks for watching!
From my experience with people who own peacocks they never had fences or clipped the wings, they actually always came back (not that you should risk them getting hurt) but I’ve always found it cool that they actually know where their home is.
Also they naturally shed their feathers so you can collect the long tail feathers and I personally find their neck feathers to be not only a beautiful iridescent blue/green/purple colour, but also a very interesting shape!
+KazAFK - I agree... cool that they know their location if they're away from home
i work at a summer camp and they got a peacock about two years ago, when i came back this year it was missing so i asked where it was and the owner said a coyote took it :(
@@avahcathey8549 There aren't a lot of predators that can take on peafowl but coyotes are certainly one of them.
Peacocks are super smart .. but when you leave near a highway 🛣 our have crazy neighbors who love shooting things is better keep the peacocks safe then expose to any danger
Should really handle the peachicks more. Or they're gonna become some mean birds. Unsocialized peacocks are jerks. :c Also with the jelly melon, yeah it wasn't ripe. Have to wait till they're about yellow/orange in color. And inside you only eat the goo, not the seeds/ect. It's pretty good when ripe, especially on toast!
+Novasiri - we handle them everyday, just not for very long. We'll do our best to spend more time with them.
u can eat the seeds but they dont really tast good, think of pomegranates.
lona west you don't eat the seeds on pomegranate? I sallow them
@@whitehouseonthehill I have read and been told just the opposite about baby peachicks- especially the male's...that if you handle them too much they can acquire something called Berserk Syndrome which makes them highly aggressive....so now I'm just confused
You’re giving your children the best childhood. I’d know. I grew up on a farm. Fantastic memories.
My work sells those jelly melons/horned melons/ the African horned cucumber/ kiwano. It has many names, but it's mostly known as kiwano. Their ripe when yellow orange, but they can be eaten at any stage. You usually eat the goo but the skin and seeds can be eaten as well. You can eat them as is or place them in salads or mixed in yogurt or juiced them. They can be made into a sherbert with Pinapple s and bananas or it and oranges, or a watermelon, strawberry kiwano juice. Or can make a nice beef sauce or dressings with them. Can even make them in waffles. Just look for kiwano recipes.
+Razor Ransom - really cool to hear, thank you for sharing
Amelia after the famous pilot ♡ @Becky~Glad you and baby are doing very good and lol Jake love the humor on the tractor can't wait to see what the peachicks turn out to be. I can remember as a little girl feeding peacocks @ Old McDonald Fish camp and how majestic they looked. Wish y'all the best ♡
+Deidra Strang - thank you, Deidra! We appreciate it!
I subscribed and liked your video because of its message. This is how life should be. Simple, healthy, cooperative and family. May God bless you all!
Congrats on the new addition to your beautiful family!!! The peachicks are so cute! :)
+Coco 135i - thanks!
Haha. That pea chick looked like a Dr. Seuss character the way you were holding it in the run.
+Donald Bradner - 😀
Sending a toy for the boys as a gift .... let me know when you get it ... love from Scotland ❤️🏴❤️ thank you for sharing your awesome times with us 💕
The peachicks are very cute. I love the way the mommy hen kind of herds them around. I have never heard of the melon fruit you grew. They would probably make a yummy exotic jelly that you could sell at your farmers market. Our local farmers market has all kinds of different jams and jellies made with strange combinations of fruits and vegetables. And they are good. As always your family is so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your family and farm experience. Have a great Halloween 🎃
+Jane maas - I bet it would be really good as a jam! Good idea, thanks!
Honestly, I found your videos by accident. Your videos are very refreshing and pleasant to watch to watch and always puts a smile on my face. You folks have a beautiful family, bless you.
If anyone thinks they need a therapist, come try this channel first ..you guys are my happy place & relax me every day😻😻😻
+JoAnne Weiss - aw, thanks!
Peacocks make good alarms! They don't like strangers around. You can hear them for blocks! There are some here in town and I can hear them even though they are about 6 blocks away.
i love you guys I think your awesome . my fiance and I want to live like you guys. but add in deer hunting. he passed away two months before our wedding. good luck with your adventures, and I will keep watching.
+Jennifer Irelan - oh... I'm so sorry to hear that. We want to hunt at some point as well.
Jennifer Irelan God Bless you
That's a nice story, hen raises peacocks
+shalonn Ramirez - thank you!
The peachicks have grown so much! I hope at least one is a peacock! Years ago some people who lived close to my papaw had a peacock, and occasionally they would put a tether (looked like a piece of thin fabric ribbon) around one leg so he could get out and strut around with his tail feathers all spred out. I used to love watching him. They are so pretty!
+Terri-TN - thanks, Terri! We're excited to see what they'll turn into as well!
Wonderful, nice to see peacocks growing, I hope they are a pair of male and female, I wish to have a farm like you one day, good luck with the new baby, be careful with lifting up weighs.
love from Saint Louis.
+red green - thank you!
You are welcome
I live on our family farm in NC. My great uncle loved raising peacocks as a hobby. They were pretty much free range & you’d see them all over the place. As a kid it was such a treat coming across the tail feathers when walking around, had a nice collection. Sadly, he passed in the 80’s. But we’ve still got a wild flock of the peacocks that migrated into the farm woods. Amazing how good they are at avoiding predators like coyotes, foxes, etc. My home is about 1/2 mile away & takes me back down memory lane to hear them calling in the evenings. I get a kick out of visitors hearing them & trying to figure out what tha heck it is😂 Just found your channel clicking around YT & subscribed, marathon watching, great job!
Congratulations on the coming addition to your family, I have 4 myself. Also the peachicks are looking so good. Two of my sister in laws have them. Three is about all the want, they make a lot of vocal noise.
Never disappointed when I watch your videos! Hi boys! Doing a great job caring for those chicks 👍😘. Becky you look great I love listening to you talk you're so happy and positive and you are all around an awesome mommy💜. Jake I just adore you you're a great hubby and a great daddy and you & Becky are just awesome. I love all the animals too 😊😘. HUGS💜💙💙💙💌
+Mahealani W. - thank you, Mahealani! We appreciate it!
I love how happy your chickens get when they are released to play outside.
+Mariam D - oh yeah, the most exciting part of the day!
Same kind of winter prepping going on here too. Finished the roof on the coop and covered the gardens for winter kale...hopefully!
+Little White Dory - very nice, Bill!
I wish my dad was a bit more like you when I was little, you seem to have a very nice family 😊
Awe Becky, you look so beautiful with that little one coming! Good job with the tractor for the chickens. The peacocks are just starting to look pretty.
+Wendy K - thank you, Wendy!
Love watching the pea chicks develop! Congrats Jake and Becky on the new baby.
+norweavernh - thank you so much!
Oooh, so nice to see all of you at the farm & thx u for the update on the pea-chics. Great family 🐣
+Hue Q. - thanks, Hue!
That fruit you opened at 7. It’s native to my country. We call it a Kiwano here and it’s ripe when it turns a bit soft and at times it turns an orange color. We have it exactly like it is and swallow the seeds. It’s perfect for people who want to stay hydrated but aren’t really into drinking water. Farmers here even offer the fruit to livestock during the dry months. I’m from Namibia 🇳🇦😊
pretty peacock babies...and you have to wait for the spiked melon to be a bright orange color in the rind and you can eat the seed but the best part is the jelly. from eight months in the future and i love watching your animals and your family grow
I used to love the idea of having pet peacocks. And then I worked in a public garden that had peacocks and I got to hear the noises they make and changed my mind. :D
Wow! The pheasant chicks have grown. To you and your wife and kids , all of you are so farm orientated with the garden and with the animals. You do what you can to survive and all of you are so happy. Can't wait to see what the pheasant chick plume out to be. My ex son in law had a couple and they just walked around looking colorful. Oh, thanks for responding back to my other comments, too. God Bless your family....
+Larry Pierce - thanks for watching, Larry. They're not pheasants, but similar to them for sure.
The peachicks are looking good amazing how big they're getting. Becky careful don't care heavy stuff
+Alicia Smith - sounds good!
If you like fried green tomatoes you can pick the green tomatoes before the frost gets them, wrap them in newspaper and store in a cool dark place and you can have fried green tomatoes into the winter.
To be honest, I could see using the jellymelon for iced water to add a nice sour flavor like lemon water, and the coating on the seeds shouldn't be a choking hazard.
+Xothiliang - totally agree... it would add good flavor to another drink.
Oh peacocks are getting big! Great job
OMG YOUR SON IS THE MOST CUTEST LITTLE PERSON 😊HE HAS THE FACE OF A DOLL😊
We have people in town that have peacocks that are free to wander... They don't go in the road when cars are coming... Another family has free range chickens, they live on the highway, & the chickens go to their house when cars come.
I've seen many parks, zoos, etc. have peacocks wandering loose. I've seen the make low flights too, so doubt they're clipped.
It would be kewl to see more of the pea chicks, & would be good for them to be handled more too. I know they're older now, but it's still good to spend time with them, so they bond and feel comfortable around humans.
Baby rooster check it out. Hahaha Boys are doing well. Happy peachicks are still happy with the mommy. Thanks for the update. Yummy green tomatoes. Blessings
+Jeriann Roberts - thanks, Jeriann!
My suggestion for the flying duck is Sally (for Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.) As for the jelly melon as well as letting it ripen, could you cook it with some cornstarch and maybe a bit of sugar and then use it as jam, or a sauce on icecream or maybe in a smoothie.
+W. Russell - we could, thanks for the suggestion!
Maybe for the duck a name after Amelia Earhart 😉Great video love seeing the peachicks grow. I’ve never raised one but maybe sometime🤗 we have a major predator issue here. We have an Anatolian but the hawks are a problem. Do you have any issues with predators?
I thought about the same name!!!
Earhart would be a perfect name for that flying duck!
Amelia is a great name for the duck!
+Liz Papa - Amelia has been a popular choice... done!
@@whitehouseonthehill I love it!
The baby Pea Chicks are adorable ! I have never seen the babies before ~ thank you !
+ellen fisher - thanks, Ellen!

Jake I think you have a pair of peafowl based on one is bigger than the other.....I love your Channel as I so often say.
+Jacky Waldon - thanks, Jacky! I'm thinking the same thing about the peachicks as well.

Cool video - thanks for sharing! You make a city slicker like me envious. How nice to truly live off the land. The shot of all the cats was AWESOME. Please tell me you don’t eat those baby peachicks!
You guys have done great job with the peachicks, they are so cute and your sons are gorgeous, what a beautiful family :)
+LoLa Grace - thank you, LoLa!
I love your videos and I hope to see all of the peachicks grow up
+Tristan Lee - thank you, Tristan!
Loved seeing this update of your beautiful critters, that chocolate muscovy sure likes to fly, they say that muscovies don't really care much for water, unlike other ducks, but from seeing this fella, the Muscovy loves to fly! Peachicks looking fine, as are the cute li'l silkies and so glad to hear Becky's coming fine with the baby. Li'l Uriah helping along as well as Eli, thanks Jake and Happy Halloween to ya guys! :)
+Joe Serrano - thanks, Joe! Always love reading your comments! Have a great Halloween!
I love to see how gentle your boys are with the chicks! Good boys!
Those pea chicks are looking huge! They are growing fast.
You always blow my mind and fill my heart.Im not playing,I see your new vids and try an try not to watch them cause I just cant wait for the next one!Back in the 80's I worked at a feed house in Seagoville Tx and my fist job when I got to work was to kill the baby chicks that broke there legs at night.Back then they were just on chicken wire off the ground and they would break there little leg at night.Things sure have changed since then and I went back years later to find then on the ground on sawdust with a heat lap.I know we have to eat but no since is such a waist and always made me think.Now days you dont know what you are getting at the store and that is one of the main reason's I want to get some for myself.Sorry just had to share my little store with yall and really like how you explain everything,very informative.I really like love watching. I cant do it right now where I live.So please keep them coming and told my wife about the new baby on the way,congratulations! I really hope you keep doing this for years to come,you guy's and little lady or maybe lady's are just way too cool.
We have peacocks here in our village, theyre on powerlines, peoples yards, light posts, basically anywhere and its funny and cool
I saw you eating the 'Jelly Fruit' as you called it. I have seen them as a dark yellow and called 'Horned Melon'. Very tasty and sweet.
Hiya there.Im so happy and excited to watch your full peachick development they BEAUTIFUL and yes have got a very good care of them bless you
awesome raining boots awww cute peacock are so cute awesome to see the kids helping parents 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 awesome video of the farm wow so many animalz
Those melons are also called kiwanos very healthy and when they are fully ripe they have a cucumber taste.Just cut open put a little salt and spoon out of the shell to eat.
+small11966mama - yep, definitely a cucumber taste to them as well
Take care becky 😊. That one chick with the meat birds, it looks so cool 👌
+Sathis Kumar - oh yeah, the Crevecoeur... he's fun and really quick!
@@whitehouseonthehill he he pls show him up close if possible
You have SO many different types of chickens Wow!
Beautiful, love all the animals. Never heard about jelly melons. Your sons are so comfortable around the animals, love it. God bless!
y'alls videos are honestly so amazing, i hope i can one day raise my kids to love nature and the outdoors like yours do.
Waww lovely. .congratulations for the birth of your peachicks..they are cute and beautiful. ..I too feel that one is male and other one is female. ..but mostly male are colorful and female are white. .so I think we still need to wait for five to six weeks of time to know the exact gender. .anyway wish you all best for your peachicks and wish you all the best for your future kid. ..good wishes for the mom. I really enjoy your each and every video. .God bless you all. .thanks for the video. .
Jellymelons I've always pick them and let them ripen in a bright window like a tomato but they turn a yellow to light orange when ripe.
+Abe Hostetter - thanks, Abe. We did let them ripen over winter and tried them. They were much better after ripening for awhile.
3:19 They want vegetables😍😍😍😭 I wish I was toooo when I was a kid haha
You might name the aviation-minded duck Amelia after another famous flyer!
+Lann Copeland - good one, thanks!
Really enjoy watching your channel and growing family! !
+robin pinkham - thank you, Robin!
Okay the baby/toddler peacocks are really really cute!
+Holly Bodaki - thanks a lot!
Hi I love your content. It’s so good and you’re feeling live animals you’re good human beings God bless you.❤
Another name for it is horned melon they are orange when ripe. You eat it like a pomegranate the fruit jelly surrounds the seed and you eat it with the seeds. To me it tastes simulator to kiwi and green apple
Queen Bri- You are right, they are different tasting.
They are getting so big!!! Such a fun project 😁
+St. Fiacre's Farm - they are fun! Thanks, CeAnne!
I love the baby peacocks they are adorable too. Hope they are a boy and a girl ...Love those silkies too. Don't over
do it Becky. Take care everyone..God Bless!
+Edie Koller - thanks, Edie!
I can’t wait to see updates! I just found your Chanel and I have now watched all of the videos with the 🦚
Love the idea of naming your duck Amelia after the pilot
+Kattra Blake - love it! Thank you.
@@whitehouseonthehill I can't take all the credit others thought of it too.
Wow new addition to the fam coming soon ..congrats guys..beautiful family..👊
+BK ZAP - thank you so much!
Holy Cow. Forgot to mention the the Flordia Keys are noted for the wild beautiful chickens. they are everywhere and so amazing.!!!
You should incubate some Golden Pheasant eggs. They are really beautiful and unique.
+Derrick Mcwhorter - I'll add it to the list, great idea!
White House on the Hill nice! I can’t wait!
Yeah but the problem with that is u need to be careful about not letting them get too much sunlight
Kenny Wallace Update: they already incubated the eggs and hatched them successfully
and please please handle peachiks so they can love you back. their eyes are so precious.
+Terri Wilson - we tried to early on, but they are just too big and wild now. Trying to hand feed them everyday, but they're still scared of us.
Not sure where you are from if you eat fried green tomatoes but they are really good you coat them with self rising flour and fry them... you can make a sort of eggplant parm but use the fried green tomatoes instead of eggplant...I swear it is really good and a way you can use all those green tomatoes .I like to use alfredo sauce as the green tomatoes have a tartness that goes well with cream sauce.but fried green tomatoes are good all on their own
Love the video it's really awesome and your family is really awesome and nice please be careful Becky you both rock and keep it up waiting for more videos as well
+ROY MICHAEL - thank you, Roy!
Can u post kitten births? How many cats do u have ?

🥒🌹🐓🐔🍓 good day to you guys !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventure on & off the homestead !! 🍓🐔🐓🌹🥒
+50 shades of green - thank you so much!
What you call a jelly melon is called "magake" here in Zimbabwe. Not sure of the spelling, or if it's the same thing, but it's also referred to as a wild cucumber. When I ate it, the taste did remind me of a cucumber, it grows wild here. Awesome videos. I really enjoy watching this channel.
I am vet....Very nice video and hygenic for birds
All this time I just now realized, I have never seen a baby peacock before!
Questions: Do all of the costs and time attached to raising chickens give much of a return on the investment itself, or do you need to be a massive chicken farm to be able to make much money to survive on? Clearly your chickens, their feed cost, time and effort etc. have an overall cost to them. Selling the eggs and then later the meat, can you make enough money to survive on? How many chickens would a professional chicken farmer need to have to be able to live off of from the returns from sale of eggs and meat? How many chickens would be enough to provide for an average sized family on a farm? Probably a lot!
Thanks in advance for your reply! I know you cannot provide an exact number, but a ballpark figure would be great to know!
Keep in mind he makes money off his youtube account as well
You are a lucky guy and probably one of the few who live like a real human....and how mankind was suppose to live and the kind of family bond and structure mankind shd have...I congratulate u for living a peaceful nf humble life away frm modern day shit
Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Hi.. I got some information from an Indian Peacock owner. You can tell the difference between a Male and Female Peacock by observing the growth of crown on their head. There is a difference in the crown.. Female ones are very straight with circular feathers on top. While male one have more slanting head crowns. Later the male develops the classic blue green color feathers on neck. This is the case with Indian peacocks breeds. Hope this helps. 👍
+Gadget Guide - thanks! Already seeing some blue-green colors starting to appear on the bigger one's neck today!
@@whitehouseonthehill Superb.👌
I'd eat a horned melon in a smoothie or with some gelatin and strawberry after filtering the seeds.
Also to my knowledge, Peacocks don't fly very far but they will wander and can be pretty aggressive. And if either or both of them are male, they will shed their tail feathers a few times a year like a tree that dropped all it's leaves at once. I think it was two times year.
I wonder if you are aware of how loud peacocks are. The farm about a good half mile from ours has a few and they shriek all summer long. He keeps them contained more in winter so we get a break, but ugh, even though the feathers are nice nothing would convince me to take them on. We are retired so we are down to just having chickens and pet donkeys on our farm and wild geese and blue herons are daily visitors, some even over wintering. Good luck with your farm. It is looking fine and reflects your hard work and dedication.
JUST WAIT YOUR GOING TO REALLY LOVE THE FEATHERS THEIR GOING TO GROW PEOPLE GOING TO BEG YOU TO SEND THEM SOME LOL GOD BLESS
+Penny Hardin - oh yeah! We're excited for those big beautiful feathers!
Your kids are having a great childhood
You guys have the prettiest dinosaurs at your house
+The Animating Badger - thanks!
Those peachicks babies are gorgeous !
+Born Again Farm Girl - thank you, I agree!
your review of the jelly melon was almost identical to Jess at Roots & Refuge Farm. LOL... I think I will skip that one on my next baker creek order!
Peacock wing feathers are really good for archery arrow flights.You could sell the molted ones on ebay.
