Chad, it's so nice that you built outdoors enclosures for your animals. I especially appreciate seeing that Bubbles can go outside even though she can't be let out like the others. Love the male turkeys plumage. They're almost as beautiful as peacocks. You could always cover the duck run with a tarp. WhenI first started to watch your videos you were almost finished building the Château du Poulet. I binge watched the whole thing and then watched you build other buildings and runs. Now I watch your videos as they come out and wish I could afford to go and spend some time there. Your place is just incredible.
Dive on in ducky, your so funny.. the ducks 🦆 and 🪿 are so cute.. Favourite are the cats, enjoy watching all the animals.. olive your adorable 😁💜loving all your content so much 💜Bubbles is so stinky cute, and your farm panther adores you like they all do.. thank you for sharing
thanks for the kitty fix......I hope Olive never stops bouncing around. Like everyone else who watches you, I can't get over the ducks. go to bed, ok, there they go.
The animals bring me so much joy and helps me with my complicated grief and anxiety. The way you interact with them, and their little personalities and quirks revealing themselves every week, makes me so happy - I could watch them for hours. Oh, and I have enjoyed watching your wood work and saw mill construction too. Wow, that snow looks incredible! So pretty. Thank you so much, cheers ❤Teresa 🇦🇺♥
I'm sure you're a bit apprehensive about how the mechanics of the pond will fair over the winter. Unfortunately the only way to find out is to do it. So I hope it all works out well! Thank you for another great video!
@@carlapierle8623 I built a small koi pond at a previous home so I do have a bit of experience there although fish makes things a bit more complicated as you need a floating pond heater. In this case I’ll just let it freeze over and wake it up next spring.
There is always something to do outside on a homestead. I was wondering what Rhemy does in the winter? It would be fun to see if she has a craft or something she would share with us girls. Love the channel. There is something to learn every video.
Have I told you lately Chad? I love your videos and your farm! Everything is looking so good, Olive for sure. The turkeys look awesome and it's been great to follow their growth & transformation. I can't believe how many rats you're getting, crazy! I don't miss the snow. Ciao for now. ❤

I really enjoy your cat content. It’s what brought me to your channel, specifically the catio episodes. I enjoy all of your content now and have turned some of my friends and family onto your channel. Keep up the great work 😊
Yes, I’ve been working on my Tagalog for almost 30 years. The ducks have been learning Tulugan na for 4 years now maybe they finally got it. Salamat eh
Who let the cats out? 🎶 🎵 MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW Who let the geese out? HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK 🎵🎶 Who let the chicken out? CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK🎵🎶 Seriously, those Tom's are GORGEOUS Missed you all this morning.
I have been watching you for two years or so and have gone back and watched from the beginning…you are amazing…I watch you build things and your always very precise and shows how much you have thought things through . I love watching you and your darling in the gardens and it’s all so amazing. The love you show your animals is heart warming and I have to think that you are just a really nice man. I am 72 and I live in Arizona, but I plan a trip to your farm stay, til then I am watching every Monday and Thursday 🥰
He's been an inspiration for me too that's for sure I have the same intentions to visit one day. I got back from a boring day at work and found a fresh 40-minute video to watch. Hope you make it there one day. Cheers 🍷
I have put black pepper in the mud around my hibscus plants because the squirrels eat the buds. A little around base of plants and the little guys wont go near it. Being from swampy part of Louisiana, we use a lot of cayenne when boiling seafood. Got to be careful you dont inhale A big amt. At one time. It will really choke you and take your breath away and make you sneeze non stop. Love the video as always.😊😊😊😊
The way you were describing all the sounds that the animals were making, all you have to do is add some music to it, and you have yourself a nice Christmas jingle. 🙃😁 Does the female turkey spread their wings? Can you put some kind of lid on the filter? Have a good upcoming. 👋🇨🇦 weekend.
What a nice day in your farm Chad there’s no snow yet when you released this epidsode. Bu I guese you’re ready for the winter. Good day to you and to your darling and to your animal. I don’t see your pigs I think they’re hibernating now because of the weather. Easy for them to get inside. Oh no! it start snowing.
I love that you are so in tune with your animals. Changing the water bowl out for the turkey is smart. There is nothing worse than being very thirsty. I'm behind on watching videos. I've been sick with Shingles for over a week. Not fun!!! I'm turning the corner on this crap and I'm ready to binge watch the videos I missed! Love from Texas ❤
It's amazing how all the animals sound in the morning. It's a good video, thanks. This winter you have the wood shelter with the machine. Have a nice weekend
Thanks for the cayenne chocking laugh. We all make that mistake once. lol. I believe the chickens can not taste the heat of the peppers and it helps keep down parasites loads. I truly enjoy your videos and if I ever renew my passport, I will love to book a farm stay vacation on your lovely farm. .
Great Video Tulugana, Ducks doing exactly what they are supposed to do was amazing. The ducks did not want to go in their house at 40:45 because of the mud...LOL
@@HiddenSpringFarm Did you get hit with those snow squalls? This vid was probably before the squalls. Whatever the case, I look forward to your next video.
@HiddenSpringFarm 🌬️🌫️❄️❄️ I think we will need to be prepared. I am already looking at seed catalogs and dreaming of spring days. I always enjoy watching your adventures. Especially the animals. Not sure which are more entertaining, but I love how you take good care of all of them. 🤗💞🤗
Love the 🐈🐈🐈 You could use an old tarp to cover the duck roof for the winter. They apparently like being clean, so cute. Thanks for the pond info. I'm building one next year 🙂
Hi , just started following your channel , what a wonderful life you have and the love and care you show ,it reminds me of my childhood with lovely memories stay safe ❤️
Chad, what do you think of putting wood chips into the duck run, temporarily, until you get the roof done next year? I think it will help with keeping the ducks dry and clean. :) I'm not duck guy, but a chicken guy. I know it works well with chickens, not sure about ducks.
Aww...the cats and all the animals are top agenda 👌 just shows you are one of the good guys.. urgh not a fan of the filters..you need to get the stone for the top..you said you didn't think rats like the water..there are rats in sewers..rats by the rivers ..I'd guess they are the ones chewing the filters..hope the cayenne pepper works..maybe put some around your lovely new tree and the base of the filter? The snow looks fantastic..I'm a bit jealous 🌨🌨🤣😍
Love your content. .would not change anything. When did Olive become Olivia I've been watching for 2 years regularly. I don't remember when it changed. Great Work
aww thanks, Olive is still Olive...we just have nicknames too, sometimes I just call her "love or Little Miss" sometimes I call her "Girlie or Miss Olivia"
I’ve always used cayenne to keep squirrels and raccoons out of my birdseed. Those little thieves can empty my feeders in a day. The science behind why this works is birds do not have the same tastebuds (which translates to pain receptors with hot pepper) that mammals do. So it doesn’t bother the birds at all. Bonus, squirrels are pretty funny rolling around like crazy the first time they taste it 😂 ..just one taste and they learn to avoid those feeders!
I just have 2 ducks, one lady and one drake. She could start laying eggs here pretty soon, even though its winter. I've never had a duck egg and I'm so excited to try one! I hear they are unmatched for baking! I'll be ordering some more ladies for my drake in the next month or 2 because I'd like them to be ready to go outside in the start of spring. My chickens are also UNimpressed by breads lol. Have you thought of using some pine pellets on the ground in the muddy duck run? They absorb water and they will break down over time. Just a thought
@@dawnth531 winter isn’t an issue cause the ground is frozen and covered in snow. When I clean out the inside dirty straw I throw it around the run. I could use a tarp, but in my experience it’s a temporary solution, I’ll mill some lumber over the winter and build a simple lean to roof next year.
Looking forward to snow vlog🎄Freaky 72°F here in Virginia last week but 17°F at night a couple of days ago. Rarely much snow here though. Miss Northeastern Ohio that way but not the ice storm first covered with snow they have now. ☃️❄️
So have you decided yet which one of those big boy turkeys is gonna be Christmas dinner? Are you choosing base on size or personality of the turkeys…which one is the most troublesome? 😊
no not yet, They are actually not troublesome at all unlike the geese. I'm impressed with how docile they are towards me, Olive, the cats and the chickens. I know for sure I'll be keeping the oldest male, he is the only survivor from the first group of chicks we got, the other 4 are from the 2nd group of chicks we got.
Haha we did, it’s just that I had filmed this episode the day before the snow came. I actually filmed during the storm the best I could, you’ll see it on Monday.
Easy solution to the rat problem - cats outside at dawn and dusk. As crepuscular animals it makes no sense having them indoors as they will do all of their work during these hours. I know you are worried about them but they will be fine, and better workers for the farm as a result.
@@annknee-f3f it’s pretty big though, there’s a special fake rock that’s supposed to cover it but I couldn’t find it. I’ll try to get a cover fit next spring.
🇦🇺Maybe dig out around the outside of the turkey run and staple hardware mesh down and out one foot, then fill the dirt back in. It should deter the rats.
That is what I was gonna suggest…. It’s what we did around our chicken coup… grandpa and my dad dug down about a foot and a half and then 2 feet out around the coup… they laid that wire floor down and then buried it wi5 the dirt…. No more rats c9ming up into the coup!
Birds have a Gland in the front of the head & 🌶🌶 oils = spice doesn't affect their sensory glands . * They DO help the plants thrive though an Ancient Aerial planting - technique . . 🤔. .🤠🥳 Watch - where - Ya Step . . .
Eventually, we’re just not ready. They’re much more expensive to keep, need proper fencing etc. We’ll get there though just need to plan out the next steps in developing the farm.
You gotta rat and bird problem there at your duck pond… they are stealing the filter material for their nests! And yes, rats get into water… they will swim up the pipes in the sewers and get into people's houses! I had one come up in my toilet of the rental house I had when I was in college !!!!! Little bugger went BACK DOWN the toilet!!!!!
@ imagine my horror when I lifted the toilet lid to do my business!!! From then on out I was terrified of using that toilet … especially in the middle the night!
@@2freedomjourney my loving Molly girl was hit by a car last June, I did do a whole video about it but we’ve been grieving and adjusting to life without her. We miss her.
I think Chad's spirit is cool with the situation. His "freedom brings us on a journey✌". I assume this from watching all of his past vids. His life experiences (the loss of Storm and Lovely) on the farm sort of helps with these heart-breaking moments. And receiving condolences from around the world 💕is uplifting in itself. Thanks, Chad, for your perseverance and sharing your life with UA-cam and with me
@@sharonmilton4854 it’s a long story but she’s such a shy skittish cat, what if I can’t get her back in. She won’t come to me, I can’t get her or pick her up. I may try it, but definitely not during the cold. I’m also fine with her staying in as she guards the cat house and greets everyone when they return.

Hey, I was wondering if you plan to get any bigger animals like sheep,goats etc?
Eventually, we’re just not ready. They’re much more expensive to keep, need proper fencing etc. We’ll get there though just need to plan out the next steps in developing the farm.
You gotta rat and bird problem there at your duck pond… they are stealing the filter material for their nests! And yes, rats get into water… they will swim up the pipes in the sewers and get into people's houses! I had one come up in my toilet of the rental house I had when I was in college !!!!! Little bugger went BACK DOWN the toilet!!!!!
Oh my 😮
@ imagine my horror when I lifted the toilet lid to do my business!!! From then on out I was terrified of using that toilet … especially in the middle the night!
Yipe!!
My wife and I love watching your videos, we only see one dog Olive, what happened to the other one🐶?
@@2freedomjourney my loving Molly girl was hit by a car last June, I did do a whole video about it but we’ve been grieving and adjusting to life without her. We miss her.
I think Chad's spirit is cool with the situation. His "freedom brings us on a journey✌". I assume this from watching all of his past vids. His life experiences (the loss of Storm and Lovely) on the farm sort of helps with these heart-breaking moments. And receiving condolences from around the world 💕is uplifting in itself. Thanks, Chad, for your perseverance and sharing your life with UA-cam and with me
need an owl or hawk buy a baby one and let it live there
Why don't you let Bubbles go outside like you do for your other cats?
@@sharonmilton4854 it’s a long story but she’s such a shy skittish cat, what if I can’t get her back in. She won’t come to me, I can’t get her or pick her up. I may try it, but definitely not during the cold. I’m also fine with her staying in as she guards the cat house and greets everyone when they return.
