@@caryrhea3974they had two barn cats that were meant to be in the shed barns the sheep and goats were but Gina and Olivia thought it was too cold and moved them into the house and now they are more house cat than anything. They stick closer to the house when they rove instead over where the animals are. Imagine that.
@@caryrhea3974they had two barn cats by the two shed barns. Gina felt sorry for them being out there when it started getting cold and now they're pretty much house kitties. Imagine that 🤣
Just love to watch Brutus play and interact with all the animals he is so funny playing with all the objects around him, truly a member of the family so much fun. Best to all
That’s awesome guys. I’ve been following your journey for years,from back at your old property. It must be very satisfying to have some cattle finally grazing on your property.👍🏻❤️
Yay for the meat bird chicks, there's going to be a lot of activity coming up! 😂 Brutus is a character, testing the water for the chicks...😅 The boys are doing a number on the pasture, they'll really enjoy the grass when they're used to it. Love ya'll ❤️
You still can put a gate between the barns, the biggest one that just uses wood, post each side fence, what Gate does cover, or a drive gate and a 4 ft walking gate!
Good night from Elmwood Wisconsin Lumnah family. Good night viewers. I had a crazy day. I'm so glad I was staying with my friend because her husband was not home today. He's back tonight but she had to go to the emergency room and I was here to drive her. It turns out it was a kidney stone slowly coming out! I've heard that really hurts! She's much better now. Hopefully it'll pass tonight. Wow, 75 new friends for Brutus. It's a beautiful harvest full moon tonight. I almost hit a deer yesterday! Missed it by inches. Yay, chicks. I like those blocks Gina. More tarp for the garden. Nice job Gina! Too bad you have to drill holes in the ceiling of the winter chicken stall. I always use the red ones. I switched to brooder plates since I almost caught the barn on fire. It's cute to see the cows peeking in. Rats, wrong bottoms! Brutus the quality testing dog! Wow, bulb out already. I think that's a Plymouth Barred Rock free chick. The chicks do look very healthy! I'm so glad you didn't lose any. Good ideas about spacing the barns to have swinging gates with them. I like that you can fence the highland cattle up with one strand of wire. It's nice to see them move onto pasture. They look happy! That is a great sound of cows munching. Thanks for this video Lumnah family!
❤❤❤ Good morning! I was watching simple living Alaska, they are putting an 8-ft fence made out of pipe around the garden to keep the moose out. I thought of you. Have a wonderful day. ❤❤❤
Wrldvw, they have cats, but l think they are indoor cats. Great idea for the barn though. Keeps it mice free as well as company for Brutus. Need a steel trap for the chicks tho!
Good morning Al, Gina and all Lumnah friends. Loved Gina's mouse dance this morning, where was the barn-cats ! New chicks are always welcome, George & Miles get fresh grass and the deer run free.
Lots of meat chickens! Brutus is checking out everything for those chickens. He's making sure they'll be happy The highlands are loving that green grass❤😊 Gina I hate mice too. 😂
Your tractor can still move your shed. They are on skids. Thumbs up 👍 welcome to the Chickens 🐔 Your cows may be trained for the fence but are the Dear, Bears, Moose, and Coyotes trained to stay out?
I will keep asking until you do it please give us all a vision of your farm from the sky with a fly over so that we can understand everything you’re saying it is difficult to visually understand what you’re saying sometimes, thank you for what you are doing? I thoroughly enjoy tuning in to your endeavours.
G’day 😊 yay! Road trip to town and the chicks have arrived 😄 oh Al, that was funny when you said you been picking up chicks at the post office the last few years 😂🙈🙊 does Gina know?! lol lol lol 😂😂 the highland cattle are such magnificent beats to watch. Always so cute 🥰 Brutus is doing a great job supervising all the farm animals and the Projects you are doing for them. He sure is a good boy 😊
We raised 6500 fryers every 12 weeks in Searsmont, ME by in the 50's. we always covered the shavings with one layer of newspaper to keep the chicks from ingesting the chips. by the time the paper deteriorates they can tolerate the chips in their system. They may clog up otherwise. Love your farm...
Good morning! Spring has sprung there! Brutus takes his security very seriously, food tasting is an essential part of that! That is a bunch of peeps for Brutus to bunk with. Fresh green grass is just the ticket for the boys!
Al maybe you can hang the roosting stand from the ceiling when not in use and out of the way. Or hang it on the wall with a couple of heavy duty metal tube type hooks.
Good morning Lumnah family. The little chicks made there trip to your place. They should like there new home. Always busy at the Lumnahs. Thank you for sharing.
When we got our Big Red broilers from McMurray, the free mystery bird turned out to be a cochin rooster. We had to separate him because the broilers were picking on him and we were afraid that they would end up killing him. That "free" mystery chick cost me plenty because I had to get him his own large bin, a load of shavings, a feeder and a waterer and I had to build a wooden framework lid covered with hardware cloth. And now I am stuck with a rooster that my wife and daughter have named Cocoa -- so he's a pet. Sheesh. 😉🤣 Take care and God Bless.
My free chick was a Golden Polish rooster. He also cost me plenty because he turned out to be a jerk in every possible rooster way. He is gone now finally. I will never check the free box again! Ha
Goood Morning LUMNAH FAMILY from NORM in Massachusetts......AL and Gina.....I'm still waiting for the results of a biopsy.....Still in Pain and getting tired of the Golden Years......One thing after another.....
Mornin Mr and Mrs Lumnah. The steers might love that side of pasture because there’s more phase 1 grass that’s really soft and sweet. They’re not big into the tall grass because it’s harder to eat. (Think of it like children liking cookies over carrots) There’s a lot that goes into grass growth
wrldvd, l guess we should wait till the end of the vid to comment. I watched Gina jump & scream softly over the mice 4 times. Soo funny. How are you feeling Gina? For you to have the truck so far away from the bricks while you were loading them, l guess you are feeling pretty well! Love ☦️ & peace out. Prayers as well & God speed 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi ☦️
Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. I just got my birds yesterday. No meat birds this year since I'm a rookie chicken keeper. You guys inspired me to get birds now that I live out in the country. Your free chick looks like a Black Jersey Giant (he looks just like the 3 Black Jersey Giant chicks I got yesterday. Time will tell. I have no idea what me free chick is.
Barn stalls seem quite air tight, any notion of ventilation for the birds? Heat recovery units with fresh air exist for residential applications (LifeBreath) ?
I glad you had luck with your baby chicks, another RUclips channel order 100 chicks and they had over 15 dead when they showed up. I think they lost around 30 total, they did get them replaced
Watching a video, farmer, with cows and horses.... Flies Flies Flies, he tried everything from the electronic fly catchers.... he found the best thing and cheapest was the big sheets of fly paper just tacked on to a post, reduced the flies by 90% or better...
In less than a month the Chicks ( including next weeks bunch ) will be outside eating grass, then the Stall will be cleaned for hens to use, it cannot be given to other animals and isn't soiled for spreading in pasture, so in place storage works cause it gives chicks thing to do !
The cycle begins again with the chicks and you can use and test the infrastructure that you have built over winter. Your barns are on skids, I recall, although they have been static for a while. Are you going to dare to move them to get the gate gap you spoke about? I'll have to wait and see, I suppose. ❤❤❤👍. Regards, Stephen.
New baby chicks are looking great. And it is good to see George and Miles out on the green grass. Loved seeing Brutus roll and tumble in the green grass, just like a kid in a snow pile. Thanks for sharing, y'all have a Blessed day.
Grab a bag of Lumnah Acres Coffee or some Merch Here www.lumnahacres.com
any idea aprox time for more decaf??? would really like to try it..
@@tamiwerner4790 hopefully in a few weeks
Al, I bought decaf this time. It will be here soon. I am loving all flavors of your coffee.
Grabbed a couple more, thanks for the heads up😉✌🏼
The black chick is a black red rock cross, but the dot indicates it is a male.
Brutus is just doing his job. He's a livestock guardian dog, therefore he's supposed to know that everyone has good food and water and is safe.
Brutus has made me chuckle several times. He has added so much character to your homestead 😄💕🐕
Maybe getting some barn cats that actually stay in the barn would be good. Brutus would enjoy the company and surely they would help him. Brutus is so funny and so much fun to watch.
Barn cats that actually live in a barn, what a novel idea.

Just take them out to where you want them and they will start wandering. They will enjoy exploring the new areas. They know where home base is.
Just love to watch Brutus play and interact with all the animals he is so funny playing with all the objects around him, truly a member of the family so much fun. Best to all
Brutus is a good dog ; He was watchjng the cattle from outside the fence . The chicks look good . Seeya
That’s awesome guys. I’ve been following your journey for years,from back at your old property. It must be very satisfying to have some cattle finally grazing on your property.👍🏻❤️
It sure is! Thanks you
That's the sound of free healthy food😊
Looking good on the farm
It's not exactly free but it is awesome Quality!

The odd color Freebird should be named Lynyrd Skynyrd for obvious reasons. LoL
It’s black, Skynard was not
@@Coyote-tc1ww it's about a song Lynard Skynard did. "Free Bird" released back in 1974. Nothing to do it a different color or anything
@@Og-JudyHas everything to do with color 😂
@@Coyote-tc1ww Fine, then we can give him the name of Huckleberry Finn's traveling companion.
@@TobyCatVATom Sawyer wasn’t black either
I love hearing the boys chomp on fresh crisp grass 💚

I caught that also... talk about "over kill".. that's a Mastodon fence 😂😂😂 "EXTREEM Alaska!

@@samvalentine3206 you seem to be sleeping in a lot. Maybe this is your new wake up time 🤔 have a great day 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Nice job those are some happy cows.
Al, beware of leaving all that hay in there, the chicks may get caught in it and freeze to death. Just an idea to keep in mind.
Here comes the doggie inspector he is so cute makes me laugh all the time
Brutus is quality control lol.
Love the brood of chicks. George and Miles loves the nice green grass. Happy chappies. ❤
Wrldvw, they have cats, but l think they are indoor cats. Great idea for the barn though. Keeps it mice free as well as company for Brutus. Need a steel trap for the chicks tho!

Lots of meat chickens!

Many folks don't want to provide that info online. Some privacy is normal and prudent.
Spring has sprung making for a happy & blessed homestead for all..
“Safety Inspector”……. That’s funny Al……….Brutus is just a very curious inquisitive awesome dog…….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you made those barns to move, so cant you move them to the gate width?
Do the chicks chirp all night, or do they sleep? Poor Brutus, if they chirp all night. Lol. Have a Blessed day 💖 💗 💛 💓 💕 🙏🏻

Oh, it was interesting I was watching Brutus behind you. He stopped and peed on the hay bales😮😮
Al maybe you can hang the roosting stand from the ceiling when not in use and out of the way. Or hang it on the wall with a couple of heavy duty metal tube type hooks.
Good day, Al and Gina. I think Brutus is going to be surprised how small the chicks are.
Good morning, Al and Gina! I am excited about watching these chicks grow.
just a reminder you built those two little barns on skids they can be moved! And you have an excavator that could move them.
I was thinking the same thing. The ground might still be too soft to be moving them around.🤔
Al, you can modify one of those gates. Cut off the curved end, cut a portion out to shorten it and then weld the end back on.
Munch munch munch munch, love that sound, very happy boys. 😀
What a palace your new chicks are housed in.
Good morning Lumnah family. The little chicks made there trip to your place. They should like there new home. Always busy at the Lumnahs. Thank you for sharing.

Back in the day (70s 80s) i got 500 Cornish cross at a time. I never dipped a beak. They seem to have an amazing ability to locate the water.
Good morning everyone! AL & Gina & Ms. Olivia. More chickens for the smoker. Hey AL Brutus looks around you large for a pup. God Bless

Put those winter tracks up high on your shelving with your forks, use that tractor...
What a nice treat to see your cute little town on the trip to the post office!
Gooood morning,the chicks looks healthy and Brutus is right in the mix,have a bless day😊🌷🌻🇺🇸
Barn stalls seem quite air tight, any notion of ventilation for the birds?

There is ventilation, this was explained in a previous video.

👍😇❤🙏 Great Video!!
Awesome. You got the little chic's. Sweet. Both of you're bulls on the pastor. Cool. Keep up the great work.
I thought those barns were on skids so they could be moved, or did I get it wrong?
Brutus is just getting proper hydration.
Haha 😂 more better??? You've been hanging out with Jason from Sow the Land, I can tell! 😀 ❤

I have not seen parking meters in years. What a clean town.
SURE IS a cool looking older little town, I love smaller towns
They are so beautiful and calm.
Busy busy busy. God bless.
Not judging. Just curious why you didn’t remove the old bedding completely. I know nothing about raising chickens. So just a curious question!

I’m really liking Brutes!!! I miss seeing your barn cats!!!
Brutus not Brutes.
You guys live in such a quaint little town. It is so beautiful.
I’m surprised how unprepared you are to receive the chicks. You’re normally ahead of the game.

The highland cows are so nice What are Your plans for them ? I :OVE YOU ALL !!!! 🥰 🥰 🥰
You can put Brutus fence area between the two buildings. If you put the straps on the end of each fence you can still open the gates
I remember brooding my hens out in my bathroom. They were so sweet and my dog loved watching them and licking them. She still loves her chickens.
Hello AL have you thought about putting a smoke alarm in the barn that would send a message to you. Just a thought.
