    I don’t miss the ice storms from my years in Ohio. Just before I moved several years ago, we had an ice storm that knocked out the power for 5 days and, listening outside at night during the worst of it, all you could hear was sharp cracks and groans all night long, like it was an eerie end of days. Don’t miss the cold weather cranks either like the escavator. Kept life an adventure anyway!🥶❄️

    Good morning. I was told turkeys lay eggs in the spring only. They can lay 18. I just got two. My turkeys love picking at hay and love sunflower seeds. They also get cold easier. I picked up clear plastic tarps to put around my turkey yard so I get a greenhouse affect. Makes a big difference. I also have a heater in the turkey/chicken house that they have access to anytime. My heater is on a shelf in a dog cage. If it tips over it shuts off. I have to blow dust off once in a while. It keeps the moisture out of the air. My hens are all laying well. Yup, got a bigger power bill. But I sleep better knowing that they are a bit warmer on those -20 to -40+ days in Alberta. Love watching your channel. Thank you.

      If you want your turkeys to lay more eggs, you gotta take them As they are laid that way she won’t become broody like she would if she has a clutch of eggs to nest… my grandparents started out with 5 hens and a Tom… after trial and error, one year he got over 200 eggs from them… after collecting all the eggs they wanted, they would let the hens lay their last batches so they could nest with them… those were the eggs they kept for hatching to keep on the farm… out of the eggs grandma would collect, she would put them in incubators to hatch so they could be taken to the market and sold… more eggs means more turkeys…

    I to am Canadien. I'm in Alberta Canada. My family was originally farmers to. But they sold the farm and moved to the city a few years before I was born. So I missed out on the farm life. But I love watching your videos, because I get to see alot of that. I have always loved animals, and had several pets over the years. But the last 20 years or so, I have been living in rental appartments that don't allow pets. So I really miss them. That being said, I really enjoy seeing all your animals. Olive seems to enjoy the snow, and is having lots of fun playing in it. I love seeing all the birds you have. The turkeys are a beautiful color, and I like seeing them puff up there feathers. One of the things I like about the chikens, duck, and geese, is having all the eggs to eat or hatch out. The pigs are hilarious sometimes. Like today, wanting to tip over the food. Lol. But my most favorite animals have always been cats. That's the pets I miss most of all. So I love seeing your barn cats. They're beautiful, friendly, and affectionate, and so cute. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. It shows me some of the farm life I missed out on. And it gives me a chance to admire all of your wonderful animals. It means alot to me. Stay safe, stay warm, and take good care of all those beautiful animals. God bless.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

    For cat allergies, the 'LiveClear' by Purina works wonders. I always had severe asthma around cats, but we were put in a situation where we needed to take in a street cat, so I decided to give the LiveClear a try. At first, I fed the LiveClear exclusively, but over the course of 6 months, I was able to cut it back with regular food more and more. After about a year, I was able to stop the LiveClear entirely and now I only have slight allergies when my face touches the cat.

Would need a massive edpm liner or a 12” layer of blue clay bentonite for it to work. But I want to do it right, a nice size completely stocked with maybe bass and blue gill. It could also double as a skating rink in winter. Also would hope to hit a spring while digging cause how would you fill it. All in due time but considering the excavation, liner and amount of work it’s gonna be big bucks and not an early priority.
