***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Don’t you love farm animal musical chairs? It seems like a never ending game we play 😂
I love that you stepped out and tried something new. We will often do that as well. You never know until you try. Also, every homestead and every family and every property has different needs. Kudos for the efforts! On to the next thing!
In my childhood the duck eggs were given to hens to hatch.
It was funny watching those little ducklings in the pond and the mother hen running around, protesting and warning them.
I've lived on a farm my entire life and I never watch a video of yours and not learn something. I love how real you are. I am praying things go well for your dad and you both have the strength and stamina to do all that's needed
Waddlesville is so much fun to watch! Praying for Kevin’s Dad
In science we have no failures. We have successes in finding out what doesn't work.
It's a treat for me WHENEVER you post a video. Love all of Waddlesville. Thanks for sharing your world.
I want to say again what this person said. When we get to a point we can no longer DO much, it is great pleasure watching you two.Thank you for your years of positive videos.❤
I always burst out laughing when I see the white ducks burst out of their coop and do the Waddlesville 50 yard dash. Very funny stuff.
How sweet! The parent geese stepping out first to check out the situation before having the babies step out! Their necks were stretched out as far as could be…🤣🤣❤❤
However often I see little babies, I still have a sharp intake of breath and go "ahhh it's a little one" as the gosling came into view in their house! I also love seeing how the family unit protects the little ones by surrounding them.
Those Polish Crested chicks are sooo fancy! ❤
I want to get some young Polish Pullets for my older of my brothers (15 yrs younger than me)
Happy Mothers Day Sarah 💓 and other mommies reading this.
I love your bird farm. You two are so inspiring ❤️ ❤❤❤
How very sweet and so very cute!!! So sorry you lost some of the quail. Pretty chickens and they seem very calm. All the best!
I felt so HAPPY when I saw the little goslings! And wow do they ever HISS. Brings the goose meme to life lol
I love watching the ducks come out of the coop and waddle off go the trough!
Imagine a world where everything you tried, worked the way you planned. Where is the fun in that? Embrace the failures and have some fun. (Prayers for your dad.)
the babies are so cute!! Happy Mothers Day !! Sarah Praying for Kevin's Dad
That is the cutest thing watching the ducks waddle out. Hugs Kevin and Sarah ❤
Good morning! So fun to see all the chickens, geese and ducks. Thanks for sharing with us. Continued prayers for dad's healing.
❤ you guys ... 👍👍👍👍👍.Stay Protected Stay Blessed 🙏...
Happy Mother’s day Sarah! I am praying for your dad Kevin. The little goslings are too cute and I enjoy all your videos. God bless you and your family
I just love waddlesville. The goslings are so cute.
Back in my youth (more than 50 years ago) one of my uncles raised Emden geese quite successfully and he had some simple 'golden rules' for hatching naturally:
1. Never let geese share a nest (instead make each individual nesting area as tight as possible).
2. Limit the the amount of eggs in every single nest to 8.
As far as I remember (unfortunately I don't have exact numbers, but I'm convinced, that at least during my youth the goslings outnumbered the adult geese every single year), which implies, that he had a hatching rate above 50% with that method over many years, if not decades.
Always something to do and working together makes it easier. Happy mother's day sarah. Thank you for sharing. God's blessings to you both and continue praying for a speedy recovery for Kevin's dad.
Thank you for sharing all of your experiences with us!! I so very much appreciate what you have discovered, both good and bad!! I am sure it will help many of us to be successful in our endeavors!!
Blessings!!
Continued prayers for Kevin's dad and the family during this busy time. Happy Mother's Day!
Congratulations on developing a well thought out plan for your poultry and enjoying this measure of success for them.
I appreciate y'all showing the adaptation aspect of homesteading. Learning through failure is a skill I'm still working on. Watching it applied is a great help!
❤Still praying for your dad a fast and pain free recovery...how are the rabbits doing...❤Praise the Lord Jesus ❤
Thankyou Kevin & Sarah. Cool ! God Bless you all in Love. Prayers. Maranatha ! ( shared to f/b )
Congratulations with the new babies!! Happy Mother’s Day ☀️🫶🏻💕
Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers.
No deaths here in Portage MI. The loss of homes & trees is huge. Trees are 4 feet in diameter in some areas. Prayers to all the volunteers & may they stay strong.🙏💪🌈
Love what you are doing. Praying your dad gets better quickly.❤
Prayers continue for your dad🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
Loved all the updates in Waddlesville! Always look forward to your videos~
I love seeing u 2 work together. It’s just down home SWEET,
Thank you for sharing with us. I got such a giggle seeing the adult geese with necks stretched out making sure to protect the babies...your silkies and polish are so cute I just love them. Praying for Kevin's dad and your family. God Bless
Thank you for the update on Waddlesville and sharing how you transition your animals. Your consideration for your animals is very commendable. Blessings on your family and your growing homestead!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿 (still praying for complete healing and recovery for Dad 🙏)
I love seeing all the birds so fun to watch
So happy your dad is doing well after surgery. And also glad you taped this video ahead of time so we could watch something on Saturday morning, lol.
Love the cute little fluffy goslings. Those black ones with the white fuzzy feathers are beyond cute.
Good ☕️☕️ Morning Kevin & Sarah,seeing your birds made my day!I love the variety you have on your beautiful homestead.The polish crested chickens are awesome.Have a wonderful week & thank you for sharing!❤
Hope your dad is doing well. I love the Polish crested chickens. They remind me of Andy Warhol!
This was a great time to spend with you all. All the different birds of a feather are looking good. Love the little ones. Pray your family is doing good.🙏❤️ and Happy Mothers Day Sarah 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Oh baby geese are darlings.
Those are the coolest chickens, EVER 🤣Happy Mother's Day, Sarah. Happy Mother Goose day, to the geese. 😄Waddlesville is filling out quiet nicely. Kevin, lifting up your father for a smooth recovery.
Love, love, love the "Hippie chickens". The goslings are adorable ❤️. Continued prayers for Kevin's dad. ❤❤
Sending love and healing thoughts to your Dad for a smooth recovery and rehab ❤❤❤
Prayers continue for your dad and mom too. Sorry the quail test didn’t make the day, but glad you tried. Love the polish chickens ❤
Oh my! I love the chickens with the white feathers on their heads. So darn cute! I love your videos. Happy Mother's Day!
Fantastic video 👍 I think all of the birds in Waddelsville will be extremely happy ❤️
Love this so much & God Bless 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Watching the geese come out of the coop reminds me of the motions of the velociraptors in the dinosaur movies. I guess they had good role models :)
Happy Mother's Day 💐 love y'all's videos ❤️
Can't help but think about quail; more trouble than they're worth.
Everything is going great so about the quail, my quail raising is doing good. Still praying for your dad . I'm glad the weather has been good no tornado threat for you. Praying for you 🙏 ❤️.
Thank you for sharing your life with us.
We have our quail in a small A-frame coop on an 8'x4' 30" high raised bed. There are 10 female, 2 male in that space and egg collection is easy to just reach in ( I use a grabber stick to dig around and collect them) without bending over or worrying about stepping on them. Another benefit of being on the raised bed in a smaller coop is it's shorter so they don't get the momentum to jump up and break their necks. We started them off on wire too and it just got depressing and we almost gave up. This is a better system, the quail are happier, no more scalping and fighting.
Love you guys. Thanks for the update. Even for us who can’t do these things, we still greatly value your sharing real life experiences. God Bless!
Hello all ! Praying for you everyday. Dad is getting special prayers well as Mom.
The baby geese are adorable. You could keep the quails in the chickentractor in summer. The eggs are easy to see in the grass. In winter you could keep them indoors if it get to cold in your area.
Hey there kiddos. well I raised some Black Polish-White Crested Birds also. They are a lot friendlier than most birds. We actually named some. We could call one little rooster and he would come running. You have your Silkes & Cested together. To keep blood line strait you will have to separate them for a peroid of time-then you can mix them back together. If you do not your eggs will have mixed variety when sitting time comes around. When sitting time came around I always had some mixed Bantam hens. They want to sit they do not care. I actually put some mallard duck eggs under her and she hatched them out. It looked funny ducks following the chicken around. We had a pool. When ducks got in the water mama got pretty upset. Oh Well have a wonderful day. I love you. Dewayne Willis
Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
Good morning 🙏😊
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Sarah!
Have a blessed day 🥰
Thanks so much
I always learn from your vids. Thank you for sharing.
Prayers for your Dad tomorrow!
Always enjoy your videos and learn something new. Love seeing the morning duck run! Val C ❤️🙏🏻
Praying for your Dad. Enjoy your birds they make me smile.
You put a smile on my face this morning. Happy Mother’s Day Sarah! God Bless!!
Why don't you have turkeys?
Idea. I took cattle/hog panel & connect at ends with 2 or 3 U-bolts per corner. Movable pen. I had 3 pygmy goats in 1, only problem was Sam would hook his horns & lift to ket other 2 wethers out😂
That t-post driver sure seems like a good investment every time I see you use it. Yes, you bought it due to back problems; and it would save folks from developing (as bad) back problems if they began with one in thier young years. The ease that you put in the t-posts outside of the silkie pen and speed/ time savings just seems like the cost of the t-post driver will be saved many times over during its life time.
I’d like to share a real helpful idea with you. I know how nasty ducks can get so since they’re going to be in the new house❤ linoleum or vinyl flooring makes it so much easier to clean up. I hope you like this idea.💜
I'd love to see you roast a goose! Yum Happy Mothers day Sarah. Your #1 fan from AZ. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi ☦️ in Scottsdale and Eucharistic Minister
Happy MOTHER'S DAY Sarah from Wendy Bertie a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
Babies are life!! I want to take my broody hen to set on eggs. I think it would be amazing. Congratulations 🎉🎉
love the gosling's there so cute
Such a great addition, those polish crested are adorable. The quail are just so sweet. We have a small coop that we place in larger coop with the newbies in it, after a day or so we just open the door on small coop and they all act like best friends. I so want a t-post driver like yours😂, I still have an arbor to create for grapes.
Good morning, I'm sorry to hear that the quail didn't work out in the hoop house. We were afraid of that. We tell everyone that asks us that it will be an Easter egg hunt every day. Hopefully, you will keep them back in the stacked cages. You were the last shipment before I got ill, and we enjoy the updates.
If he used layer of sand for bedding instead if chips reckon it would work better than hunting for eggs in the chips?
Thks for the update on the quail, I have 50 but seems like it's to much maintenance,for the buck,thks for sharing ,I'm just going to give them away to my brother.Before it really gets out of hand.🎉🎉🎉
Kevin I hope your dad is doing well. Loved the update on all your feathered friends. I wondered how many goslings you would get and they are very cute. 🌸🐨🌸
I love how you explain everything so well!! I hope to have chickens & ducks at some point (🙏). Thank you!! So cute...when you opened the door they were like 'whhaaa???' 😂 The goslings are so cute! But I wouldn't want to come across the parents!! 😮🤣 💕
We raise quail outside in an enclosed lean-to with an enclosed pen with chicken wire all around it. They are on the ground and we put a little bit of hay around the inside walls. They lay on the ground and we never have trouble finding the eggs. And they aren't on wire, it's on dirt.
For five years my wife and I Had an urban farm and raised quail for eggs and meat for sale at Sacramento area farmers markets. We went through many of the same trials that Kevin and Sarah did. We wanted to raise them on the ground but found for incubation and egg sales, having the quail in cages with egg roll outs Is a must. But o raise out a new batch of meat birds or breeders, at three weeks old we would put them in 12 inch tall quail tractors that were 30“ x 8‘ and fit the dimensions of our market garden beds. They eat the old crops pests, and weeds, fertilize the bed and we can call our quail meat pasture raised. Once the quail ladies started to lay eggs then we would put them into the rollout cages. Hope this helps someone with their quail journey. 🐦
For the quail, using wood chips instead of pine shavings would help with finding eggs; they can move the wood chips, not as much as the pine shavings though. Also, using deep litter (around 18") will create a compost pile under them which will add heat, plus, they can dig down and get more insulation with heat and cold temperatures.
Really enjoyed watching 👍👍
It is wonderful the geese and other birds can have a more natural life, but sad for the quail and wish you could succeed with that endeavor as many other quail breeders have given their birds a more natural life of raising their young similar to the way your geese are enjoying.
Happy Mother’s Day Sarah!
Love Waddlesville!! Continued prayers for Kevin’s dad and his recovery! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to you Sarah and all other moms on this channel. ❤
I had a Polish Crested chicken,they are gorgeous❤❤❤
Happy Mother’s Day Sarah and prayers for Dad.😊🙏
Good morning ☕🌞
I recently tasted duck eggs for the first time, it's so creamy! Yum!
Quail is one of those sort of things that unless you are a breeder of a fan, they arent worth the trouble.
Praying for Kevin's dad
I just love the silky birds and their roommates. Oh there beautiful.❤
Everything in life is a learning experience and I love how you share it all. Good or bad. It's the reality of having a homestead and it's hard work. You two are amazing people. Wishing the best for your family through this difficult time.
I enjoy watching your videos thank you
Hoping next year you may hatch out some of the goose eggs in the house. More meat for family or babies to sell to folks that would like buff geese.
So much fun seeing them all growing and looking so healthy. Baby's are so cute.
Blessings to you all! Praying for you all! Happy mother's day!
