FINALLY!...the Tilapia had BABIES!

Фильм және анимация

We're so excited because this swimming pond has more than one use! The Tilapia fingerlings we placed in the pond 5 months ago have now bred and produced baby tilapia.
Being sustainable is really important to us, and now even though we live on an acre of land in the desert, we can produce fresh fish for ourselves! It's also 100% sustainable, since we don't feed the tilapia at all (they eat algae & bugs).
Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

    If you want to have the chickens lay more eggs I would suggest getting them oyster shells instead of reusing their egg shells during the summer and giving the birds some fruits or vegies that hold a lot of water like watermelon. Even giving them some mealworms as treats can help or crickets. But sometimes that can get costly and im sure you guys are handling your chickens really nice anyways! cant wait to hear more about the goats :)
