    As an animal person, I am glad you are teaching your children about life and death. I know it can be traumatizing for a young child, but you are doing such an amazing job with both kids and animals. It is okay to mourn those lost, it is okay to break down and cry. Never be ashamed, and let your kids know that as well. Much love to your family and farm!

      Yeah we lost a chicken this week on Monday. She was acting weird a few weeks ago and we brought her in and checked on her and fed her last charms and pet and preened her. And then I found out she died Tuesday night. My sister didn't see her because she was obviously laying down dead outside so her body stayed outside in the cold all night. I found her by the chicken door underneath the ramp we put for them to get in. I let the chickens out in the morning. I'm still in highschool so we were running late for school. I had to bring her dead body and toss it in my dads garage so the others wouldn't pack at her and the neighbors dogs and cats wouldn't eat her. That was a really rough day. I mean highschool is bad enough for me having autism and adhd and a anxiety disorder but dealing with loosing a pet we loved is always hard. My 17th birthday is in nine days. We lost another chicken Henny two years ago three days after my birthday

      @@gothic_oma Thank you. There was just about Max. He was my best friend. Where as my current kitties are my babies because I've had them from birth. They're mama raised them near me once they could move around. They're also more spoiled than any previous cats. I actually named my boy cat Micah Maxwell. His pretty sister is Harlequin Shayla Flour. Also named after my cousins cat Shayla & later my older cat Flour. Other than color she looks just Flour.
      Yeah I probably shouldn't be allowed to name my cats alone or this happens.😏 It also took me several months to find the right name for Micah. My cousins named Harley. I just added the extra parts.
      Max was actually suggested by my mom. Along with Flour.
      At least my dog came with a name since he was originally my sister's kids dog.
      At least this time insured that they were well socialized. Unlike my grumpy Max. He finally gave in & allowed the kittens to cuddle up to him though. Eventually.

    When I have a wound on one of my birds that I'm afraid the others will peck at I use a spray called blu-kote. There are a couple of other brands of it too. But it is a liquid bandage that turns the wound blue and the other birds will normally leave it alone afterwards, so I don't have to separate them.

      Their is no such thing as normal fencing any fencing has a risk of danger to the animal. I know plenty of people who have lost live stock even if their fencing is relatively safe 🤷🏼‍♀️ it just happens sometimes and really there’s barley anything a person can do to prevent it it’s just the hard truth

    It's amazing how quickly we all get attached to all of our animals even if they're "barn animals". We have 6 chickens that we got at the end of April. They're part of our family. I just love our girls. So sorry for your loss even though it's now been several years. I found your channel today and I've been binge-watching your videos. I love watching your boys with the different animals. I've been looking into this type of fence for our chickens. Seeing this does make me a little nervous. I think I'll have to do more research and think about it a while longer.

    I hatched a turkey egg with chickens. He hatched a week later. The chickens wouldn't be nice. We were headed to a family event 13 hours away in a day. I decided to take him.
    We named him Hashbrown. He was a fantastic traveler. Sat on my shoulder most of the time. For months he followed me everywhere. Lived on the front porch. I eventually sold him to someone with 3 hens. Cried to let him go.
    When they came for him, he was showing off, got all fluffed up. They were a little afraid.
    I went to him , "Hashy, ya showing off?" I pet his feathers down, picked him up.. he was all kissy face.
    He was a great pet. I wanted him to have more friends than only me.

    I am watching this for the third of fourth time and I am still grieving at the loss of Liberty but also your families loss, , too!!❣️❣️ I came across your website late in the year or maybe mid summer I don’t know but I instantly find myself drawn to more than just exotic birds but I think initially most people are attracted to your exotic birds,/
    What I found myself drawn to is this amazing love and gentleness and tenderness did exist within the farm and I found myself thinking that
    The term, “ free range” Because your children are just as much “FREE” to Rome your property as well as Free to use their minds and share their thoughts and also their creativity with their parents, plus free to help in the projects you’re doing, in fact ENCOURAGED, which I LOVE meaning, Giving their input on issues!… I grew up in a household where the I don’t do the talking and the children get a listening❣️❣️ there was absolutely no freethinking and this made it very hard for me when I left the farm and out into the “adult world quote which I thought I did a good job preparing my son/children for that but he informed me I failed him because nobody told him he did a good job or that they loved him every day in fact they didn’t even care if he did a good job he just better show up and do it. This surprised me deeply because I always had jobs where I was affirmed for my efforts just as you both do for your children😄♥️♥️
    (I am not sure my thought process was coming across correctly but I was trying to simply say… And simply is not the right word either… I admire how much your children have grown up in this land called the White House on the hill and they are free to be themselves; they are free to learn about nature and life as it is in his truest form; they are free to experience every single aspect of animals from versing to breeding to life and death and I love the gentleness with which you approach those concepts, in part because you are gentle when you talk to the children and how you handle the animals and the children respond in kind likewise. You get down at their level and look into their eyes and you give them an opportunity to approach all of the animals without fear and with an understanding of who the animal is and they do not need to be afraid as well as what the animal is and is about, what its purpose is on your home and it’s a year apart of the family not just something pretty or food on your farm! And I think this is a very important concept all of that for the children to understand and I think one of the greatest would you do that is when you let the children lay on the grass and allow the baby chicks to lay on your tummy‘s after they have selected exactly the color chicks they want, and then
    Freely without fear and calmness and gentleness and gigglingjii well the baby chic’s to experience them as they experienced jm chicks!! True nature in its most raw form!!
