Thanks for watching!
I love how you guys have such a diverse mix of farm birds going on at your homestead. It's great to watch!
+Gold Shaw Farm - thanks!
Wowie didn't know u guys watched this
Look at that! Very cool to see that mommas are mommas not matter what.
And, your peonies are beautiful.
+Rick Mitchell - thanks, Rick!
Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Just wanted to say-- I started watching just on a whim a few weeks ago, and I've really been enjoying this! Your episodes are great; I grew up with my grandma's chickens around, and the neighbor's goats (are y'all ever getting goats? They're great! Goat milk is the BEST) and the terrifying wild gigantic rooster that roamed Grandmama's property that had escaped from somebody's coop-- he hadn't been trimmed, and he'd spur the crap out of you if he could-- and some really big geese and the huge farm garden my grandmama and my great-aunt grew beans, watermelons, corn, strawberries, tomatoes and peppers in, plus their fig tree and the wild blueberry bushes all over the woods. Your videos bring all that back! My own small veggie garden and my pets look so little compared to what you have, but what you do still encourages me. Y'all do such a fantastic job of raising both your kids and your critters, it always makes me feel a little happier and calmer watching how things progress after I get home from work-- I do 10-hour shifts at a hospital, so that's a big help. So thank you for posting; I'll keep watching. May all your plants grow huge, your chickens and ducks lay tons of eggs (and your turkeys too, I guess-- I love duck eggs but I haven't tried turkey eggs yet) and may everything thrive!
+YsabetJustYsabet - thank you so much, we really appreciate hearing that!
Becky is so beautiful, inside and out and has an amazing smile! Love your channel!!!
+Cadence_9085 _ - thank you!
Beautiful peonies! My Mom had a lot of them when I was a kid and they always had lots of ants on them. They smelled sooooo good though! That is so cool how the mama hens have adopted those babies. I love it. I'm sorry you lost one though.
+When In Idaho - pretty beautiful and I don't think we ever planted them! No worries on the chicken loss... just part of the process.
Usually the connection between chicks and the adoptive hen occurs with chicks less than 10 days and at the time of hatching of the hen's own eggs. Excellent channel, with interesting content. thanks for sharing
+Sammy's world - thank you very much!
8:09 to start the chicken video, your welcome, saved 8 mins.
stay trippy is your name Tyler
You are managing your flock very well. ❤️ Your children over Toms desires. 👍. Love the slide/pool/trampoline aerobics! 💦😊. Blessings to all! 🌞 The bee project looks really cool. 101 and at my budget. Thanks. 🐝🍯
+Cassity ART - thanks!
WOW, peonies at the end? I don't know how you guys keep track of it all! Thanks for the updates.
+Dennis St.Germaine - Peonies, you got it! Stuff growing everywhere... Becky's in charge of it, I just keep making her places to grow stuff!
Can’t wait to see boxes done for the Bees 🐝 hope you guys had a good weekend love from Australia 🇦🇺
+Corey Dewhurst - thank you, Corey!
Thanks for the update on the bloody hens and the chicks. I was waiting for that. My wife and I should be getting some fertilized eggs tomorrow and wanted to know how you guys did. My wife also wanted to try with baby chicks but because I was able to find some fertilized eggs we will go that way for now.
+Homesteading with the Heberts - very good, have fun!
This was a great video. I loved learning about your broody hens. Too cool. Hugs❤️
+Terra Ranch - thank you so much!
I'm so glad you had some success with the hen! I have done it many times and it always worked but I never tried giving them anything besides chickens! :)
Back to Basics Homemaker- Ya we were worried about the turkeys but it worked out great.
A friend of mine has chickens and ducks and they put duck eggs under a broody hen. They said they did not know what would happen but thanks to your videos I knew. Great job and thanks for the great videos. Love the family involvement.
Jim Milligan- I hope that works out for you too. Thanks for watching!
I love how you let the boys help out. When you're eating the produce you can discuss with them how fun it was to plant, grow and now eat the food.
Chickies look to be doing great. Maybe put the turkey hen in with the male?
+ubetchya78 - you nailed it... we just put the hen in with him yesterday. Working on their area a little bit today to give them more room in that run.
A great video ~~As always Love y'all ~~ Gardens look wonderful -- love all your ideas... Have a wonderful spring week...
+Dawna Karma - thanks, Dawna!
Great vid love the chickens
I can’t wait for my ducks to hatch. They have been incubating for 5 days now😆😆
Love to watch Your vids Keep it up and Happy learning..
+yokom zare - thank you!
I found it almost 100% effective to take hatchery chicks out to the hen after dark, cover the nest so she or the chicks couldn't leave, then by about 8:00/am release them on the floor. The silly chickens always believed that way they were hers, even after only one day of being broody.
Those boys are about ready for a bigger pool!
+JayneMarie - they sure are!
Very happy family,wish you happy all time
+Nutan Chauhan - thank you!
Becky, If you want a broody hen to accept your hatchery chicks, 1 go into the coop at night (do not turn on the lights use head lamps or flashlights. 2 put some nest material on the ground.3 Put the broody hen on the nest. 4 Place the chicks under her and walk away
Do not remove the chicks unless she is just totally ignoring them and they are getting picked on. If you want sprinkle chick food on the ground in the morning to make sure the hen is showing the chicks what to eat. It is possible. Good luck.
TY for a great video.
+Debra Murray - thanks, Debra!
Great update guys !!
50 shades of green- Thanks!
Hey, on the bee catcher, no problem, just go to the local lumber yard or Lowe's and ask to see the wood stretchers! I'm sure they will tell you what to do and how to use a wood stretcher, just don't be cheap, get a good wood stretcher, only the real good ones work well! Shop teacher humor!
+Little White Dory - geez... I just about believed you because of your woodworking background! If only that were a thing. I'll get the lid figured out. Just need a little dedicated time to concentrate on it. Or I need to follow directions better.
White House on the Hill ....... LOL ! And I thought that material was only good on 7th graders! Thanks for sharing the videos as usual. ....
I wish i had as many chickens as you guys 💚 i have 10 Chickens and two Roosters 🐓
+Eri Cisneros - that's awesome!
Good Hens!
+Diane Murphy - 👍🏼
Well, Mom and the kids are into planting the veggies as well as Eli his Sunflowers, but watch out don't know how the birds know but they'll spot a mature sunflower head and faster than you can say "Jack be quick", the seeds are all gobbled up, but it is fun watching the birds get the seeds, but its even funner eating the seeds oneself! But where's Dad, ah, probably still snoozin', no way jose! Doing a bit more on his bee Project before going to work, and the footage of the chickens ducks and your big ol' tom, SENSATIONAL! :)
+Joe Serrano - thanks for your thoughts, Joe!
We have always had success giving a broody hen chicks that we bought at night. They settle in to sleep, all warm, in the morning they go about like its always been that way. They do have to be very young chicks once they get about a week old they don't tend to listen to a mamma hen. Im sure there are some broody mammas out there that just want to hatch their own eggs.
yup, that is what I was going to say :). I do it every year. I wait for a hen to go broody and hope that the farm store has chicks. It is so much easier than the brooder. Do it at night!
+Skhill Billies - yep, chicks were a couple days old, so I think the timing was right there. Probably confused some of the broody hens that had never hatched chicks and knew that they didn't hatch them out. The one that worked had hatched out some chicks before and she's doing a great job with them.
I dont know but i think you missed an opportunity in this video. A dinosaur vine sounds awesome 🦖 🦕
Lovely video :) I'm considering adopting five chickens and a turkey from a friend who's moving away. I just learned about blackhead disease that turkeys can get from a parasite in chicken poo. Is that a concern for you? Are you doing actively doing things to prevent that? I'd love to take the turkey too but want to make sure I know how to care for her and keep her healthy.
+Anna Tennis - turned out our turkey was just getting beat up by another turkey, it wasn't actually blackhead. We started to sell off some of our Royal Palm toms once we discovered that, so they wouldn't keep fighting with each other.
I probably should get a kiddie pool for Henry it jump in. It's so hot already
+Mrs Farm Alarm - do it!
White House on the Hill I would enjoy that too much lol.
we had a big damn bird like that on my grandparents farm. they told me it attacked them relentlessly and my grandma got clawed good. I went into the coup and snatched it by the neck. squeezed it pretty hard too but not too injure it and waited for it to calm down. probably held it for 5 min or so. after that it was tame as hell and never attacked my grandma again lol. no joke.
+thecanadianwill - I definitely had to demonstrate dominance for the turkey to leave us alone
@@whitehouseonthehill its funny how that works on birds. not always but usually! my mom hit a abusive rooster on the head with a frying pan when she was just a child lol.
Hey Becky, you should have let the boys bury the dinosaur. Our boys are 27 and 30 and we still find buried toys, lol. We are going to tear off our front porch this year to redo it, and the boys want to be here to retrieve the toys they know are in there, lol. It's like a time capsule when you dig up a toy. Good video!
Changing Winds Farm- That is like my parents garden, we are still digging up hot wheel cars we would play with in the dirt.
If I ever find a wild turkey nest, I’m going to swap her eggs with chicken eggs and see what happens lol
I subscribed a short time ago, now I had to do it again, thanks youtube
+yberknight2010 - well, glad to have you back!
Hey bud, pretty sure the bees will not enter (in mass) with the entrance vertical like you have it. In fact I would make the slot wider, after rotating it 90°. Good luck!
+Not Buying It - yeah, that makes sense... I'll see if I can fill it in and correct it
In my experience when a garden bed is under the dripline or sometimes even further away, the tree feeder roots will seek out the good soil and clog the soil and rob the plants of nutrient. Also, if you end up with a tom from the poults you can harvest Sir Lancelot and have a friendlier tom for the flock. Growing a tom I think makes them friendlier than getting a grown one, a friends' tom is like a dog, following her around the homestead even with hens around😲😊
Gail Elwood- Ya I think we will have to do something with Sir Lance.
It would be interesting to know if the chicken hens raising turkey chicks have a better survival rate.
Wow I like White Momma with one chicken. She looks different with her tail feathers lifting up.
+Sathis Kumar - her name is Dove, she's a Japanese white black-tailed bantam
Do you know an ancient rule that when you collect honey from a comb you should not collect all the honey. You should leave atleast 30% honey for the bees because they deserve it. They do a lot of work to make it 🍯.
+Sakil Ahmed - very true
How often do you clean your box and maintain it
Isn't animals wonderful we had a female dog adopt two kittens was awesome
+Leeha Chris - yes! Life and God's creations just never cease to amaze me.
We have wanted to make the trellis for the vines to grow over. I hope yours works so we will know.
+Heartiness Approach - should be a fun project!
If you grow zucchini in a pot make sure you feed it every 10 days to two weeks. The bigger the container the better. They produce SO much...they need a lot of nutrients :) On another note....might be time for Turkey freezer camp.
+Dolly Perry - thanks for the zucchini tip! We're torn on what to do with the Tom... hoping to get some babies first atleast.
White House on the Hill He can't make babies in solitary:)
+Dolly Perry - I can't say you're wrong there
hey Jake and Becky and im so sorry I had no idea that he would be so aggressive toured you guys he was not acting like that here and my other tom is nothing like that I'm soooo sorry he has inconvenience you guys.
+cayla wilderdyke - don't sweat it at all... we have some roosters that are aggressive and some that are calm. Sometimes it has to do with growing up around people and sometimes they are just doing their job of protecting their flock. We really want it to work out, atleast get some babies from him with the hen, so we're not giving up yet.
+White House on the Hill OK.. that's good to hear you guys rock.
🌺
+Gerry Marmee - 👌🏼
Bees are attracted to wight. I know it’s weird but me and my dad were painting a frame Wight outside and bees just came to the frame and wouldn’t leave it alone
I had one broody hen raising 17 incubator chicks that was already 6 weeks old. You have to remove the eggs from under the broody hen and add the chicks early evening so they have a night to bond and see each other the next morning. The hen will sit out her 21 days before she starts walking around with the chicks, so you have to add the chicks on day 20 or 21.
I had another hen that was brooding for only 14 days when I added chicks, she remained brooding for another week and refused to leave the nest, despite the chicks. She was also aggressive towards some chicks, probably because her timing was confused by the early chicks.
Put a hen with your tom so he's not alone. Personally, I would let the tom out and rather have the kids avoid him, it will teach them to be weary and that animals can be aggressive. An aggressive tom will defend against predators, a lame tom will save himself.
what is that song at the end of the videos!?
+Kayla Boyer - Sunrise by The Center State. Check out the music video we made for them: ua-cam.com/video/Y69v2yhKHeo/v-deo.html
Garlic oil will help keep the ants away you dilute it with water and dawn ad spray the whole yard
+plain speaker - good plan... we need to take the ant herd down a notch or two
Can you tell how to controller little black aphids on green been they suck all the juice from my beans and I feel very angry I spray cold water on them and it blows them away but they return again after few hours and it's very hard to spray all of them.
The frames for the swarm traps might have a longer learning curve to build them at home. Can’t you buy the frames unassembled ?
+Smallblockfuelie - yeah, I could buy them. But I really want to learn how to make it all. I'm not worried about messing up. I'll just get more plywood to do it the right way after making my mistakes.
How long are your garden beds?What material did you use? I like your design and I'm building some beds next weekend .
unclesho- They are 4' x 16', using 2" x 10" x 8' boards
White House on the Hill Thanks for replying back ! I will definitely use this design .. Thanks for sharing your journey! We are starting a homestead and your channel is a great source of information !! Thanks again and God Bless !!
+unclesho - awesome! We appreciate you watching. Have fun building your garden!
@@whitehouseonthehill Hello, go to my farm chickens, ducks, turkeys.
Are you going to give a broody hen some turkey eggs to hatch ?
+Pete Peterson - hoping to work on that next!
I have been told that if you sneak the chicks under the hens late at night you will have more success.
+Kip Smyth - yep
Can you do a channel only about the birds because I bet a lot of people skip the building and gardening no efence your choice
🐓
Must have missed your location. Anyone?
+Glenda Ruff - NW Missouri, near St Joseph, MO
These farm vlogs are starting to seem fairly formulaic.
35k though - good on ya, keep up the hard work.
You can train the turkey just like your kids when they do something wrong. I’ve slapped the head or beak when the attack and in time they understand.
+Dennis Mott - I've noticed that, the turkey respects me (Jake) and goes after Becky and the boys. I'm the only one that has disciplined him so far. I told this to Becky so she can get his respect. We'll see if she can be brave enough to stand up to him.
Had a roster that would attack me when I went for the eggs (300 hens) and I had to correct him quickly, which I did. Good luck with Becky and the turkey
I know its almost an year later but if u put chicks under a broody hen at night its almost 100%chance she will adopt them ... during the day chances are less
The duck need gras and wather to have bath😉
Whats your favourite part to eat of a Turkey ?
That looked like fire ants on your peaony roses
+Jamie McKenzie - definitely ants... I don't think we've ever had fire ant issues. We'll see!
In the Farmer's Almanac it states that ants help deter pests from the peonies and help the blossom open in exchange for a little nectar.
Steve Hall you learn something new everyday as a gardener
Put chicks under a chicken at night and you’ll have better success.
Smallblockfuelie- We will have to try that next time.
