As a fellow steward of the land and it's animals on a farm, my heart goes out to you all. My partner and I often say " their end we can not control, but the life we give them will always be our best." May you find comfort in knowing y'all did the same.

It’s heart breaking isn’t it! We had a farm when we lived in England and lots many a flock to foxes and now we are in the Scottish Highlands we have just finished building our chicken coop but no chickens yet as Iam too worried!

You can build wood decking that is raised 6 inches or so above the ground for the chickens to run under.. build various ones around the gardens where the chickens roam. It will give them cover from hawks and dogs. Make them into viewing stations to put a couple of chairs on to sit and have wine and gaze over your grounds in the evening. Make them large enough that their little trails can't be grabbed by a dog reaching under.

a goose won't stop dogs. Much as I hate seeing it our village neighbours keep a small yappy dog, usually on a chain, to protect their chickens and it works, we have jackals among other predators. We use electric netting. But a LGD would definitely work.

I so admire you both for living the life you’re living and I love following your lovely life. You make your decisions about the farm and do what is best for you… that’s the beauty of living the life you’re living. ❤

They have a lovely nature soft and patient with children and will not stray beyond your land. I know you will be brave , the love of your family and time can help heal the pain.

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of several of your chickens. I lost one to a stray dog right in front of me and it was heartbreaking. Get more chickens as soon as you can, they really are a joy. As for tilling your garden, you do what you need to do. Some years I till and some years I don't. This is your garden, no one else's. Blessings, and thank you for sharing your life with us.

People who think chickens don't have personalities don't know chickens! So sorry for your loss! Some of the memories of them are priceless! Put electric fence around your free range area if you can that comes on in the evening or at night. Dogs hate them! A livestock guard dog is another choice also. We have lost none to predators since we got ours, and the electric fence keeps them home and other dogs out. We have about 65 chickens! Love them all! But as you well know, some are very extra special too!

I am so sorry for the loss of your feathered babies. They, too, are little souls and are a part of our families. Thank you for loving and caring for them. The same thing happened to my daughter's chickens, recently by the neighbors dogs and the neighbor did not apologize or offer to replace them. Hopefully the loose dog problem can be resolved. My heart breaks for you all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Farm life can be hard, but the quality of living that kind of lifestyle far outweighs the sad times. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all with such honesty and passion. I love my Sunday and Wednesday Newby catch up, always leaves me with a goodfeeling, although l have to say I did have a little tear this week! ❤

So sorry for the chickens. I can relate! Lost 15 to chicken hawks this years. They were my babies. I just hate to even think about getting more. But I guess it’s part of life. Sorry for your loss again. Keep it up for the kids and your own heart.

Such sad news about your Chickens passing. My heart goes out to you. I lost 2 parakeets after having them for 12 years. We had some fumes in the house one evening and they passed away together. We were heartbroken!!! Now, after 5 years, we still miss them (we loved them so much). Your new family members are spectacular. I'm glad they're settling in for you. Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us! 😊😊😊

I was sad too when you told us about the chickens. They were so much a part of the landscape, they really belonged to the family. Just a thought, maybe get a farmyard dog, also fun and might dissuade other dogs to have a go at your other animals. Big hugs! Also curious about the plans John has for the addition. I kinda need to see it happen, but am looking forward to it. I respect your way of farming, you are being thoughtful and respectful to your farm! People need to be kinder. 😊

So very sorry for your loss……… 😥🧡 Aaaaawwwww, just got to the part where you welcomed new girlies and gorgeous boy to your family 🥰 Hazel was my sweetest girl, a Barred Plymouth Rock chicken. She used to sit on my shovel, looking for grubs to eat as I was digging for them in my little garden 🥰🐓. She, along with her two sisters, would come into our house every day, just to walk around our dining table, and then back out the back door, into our garden. We would often find them sitting on our patio furniture too. I still miss them, 10 years later………. This video really got to me….. I miss my Hazel, and we also will be losing our sweet 14 year old Izzie, a sweet doggie we adopted from a shelter when she was just a 10 week old pup. She’s suffering from dementia, she’s going deaf, and getting more confused every day 😥🧡

I love that post-war looking concrete fence structure! That would be sweet in my Space! I love growing invasive vines and such that most folks avoid, as this is the Desert SW, such things are never far from failure without water, and most will not regenerate themselves as we get a second Spring in the Fall before winter, knocking them out as they sprout. So many different micro-climates! I am reminded that this is the beginning of the newest "El Nino" Event, and so my yarden might get a bit more rain, and a lot less pain of being in the Dry Heat. Last year, the summer begin in the 100's F, and lasted throughout the Summer; I notice many Ash Trees across the city that are not opening this year, just a skeleton of what was. I am not sure what El Nino means to your region of the World, but it is a Natural Phenomena of our Weather patterns...stay Safe, I really felt a part of all of this video. Thank you again!

Sorry for the loss of your chickens. It's devastating. But I'm pleased to see a new brood has arrived. 😊 Guinea Fowl are great alarms. And will be a warning when predators are around.

One KZreadr I watch puts black tarps over the garden, when not in use. The heat generated under the tarp kills new growth. He also tills his beds and covers with tarps 2 weeks before planting, to help control weed growth.

Lamento muito o que aconteceu às vossas galinhas eu próprio fiquei muito triste muita força e tudo irá correr bem. Muito obrigados por tornar um cantinho de Portugal abandonado num sítio muito bonito...obrigados

Yes could tell something a miss could you x

Absolutely heartbroken for you. I live in suburbia but have lost two chickens to sparrow hawks! My chickens have given me such pleasure - they are super entertaining and if by laws allowed I would have lots more. So glad you immediately got a new flock - solitary chickens aren’t happy. Hope the fact that they had the best life ever is some consolation . Sending love and healing energy

Dear Tara, you sweet girl it’s so sad to see and hear you talk about your beautiful chickens …. life isn’t far at times …. Hugs and kisses

Sending lots of love to your family after your loss. As for your garden, of course it will take time to reach your no dig goals! I hope no one would be judgemental about that. I think you may enjoy watching some of the videos from Acre Homestead - I have learned a lot from Becky and she has a wonderful inclusive and no judgment gardening energy

Thank you

I love so much your sensibility and respect for animals and plants! It's so rare nowadays! Good luck for your farm.

Oh, I am so so sad to hear what happened to you and your beautiful chickens. The memory of them watching you build that new garden wall the other week and then strutting across it will forever live in my memory of them.

So sorry hearing the sad news. Keep the happy memories alive and rejoice in them. Best wishes for new beginnings.

Oh no, so very sorry to hear this, there is no easy way to lose a much loved member of your tribe, I have cried many tears for your poor birds, I'm sure not as many as you have, however now its onwards and upwards guys, chin up and shoulders back and welcome to your new flock. Sending love and hugs xx

Your feathered friends understood your love, and in turn their energies will radiate healing relief from the ache. Happy days ahead with the new brood of hukus!

Thanks Dennis 🙏❤️

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful chickens. Truely heartbreaking for you.

So feeling for you all! Sadly it is part of farm life, as much as you try to protect your feathers friends .. Tara, you and John had done your best when you built the enclosure fencing, & fitted the electronic door to the coop as further protection. We’ve got two dogs who don’t chase animals, Molly is a border collie & watches over our hens, & Bunso our kelpie Koolie x thinks he’s helping at times by collecting eggs .. he just think he’s helping because he sees us collecting them The hens are part of our lives, as much as our dogs … it would be heartbreaking if we lost any, as much as we know they don’t live as long as ourselves, & at times have great threats than ourselves .. like feral animals We love your new flock of poultry, & their names are perfect for them! Guinea fowls are so beautiful, & yes do have a wonderful sound. You are doing your absolute best, & put so much thought into everything you do … din’t let the nay sayers wear you down, sadly social media is full of them … keep shining you light 🤗❤️

I'm so sorry for the loss. I love what you are doing in the farm. The videos are never enough. So nice to watch. ❤

I’m so sorry for your loss 😢, terrible. I’ve been gardening my whole life and frankly you have to do what works with your budget. Home grown no matter how is way better than nothing.

Oh dear, FiFi was such a handsome and special roo! I am so sorry for the loss of him and his flock. I'm glad Budsa survived and that you are getting more chickens for the farm. As for tilling for weed control, it can take awhile to transition to no-till. We have found arborists/tree removal companies who are looking for a place to dump wood chips and have been successful in getting a load dumped once or twice a year in order to use the wood chips to mulch the paths between the rows. They then break down and add goodness to the garden soil. We also use under and around fruit trees and berry bushes and to border the gardens.It is a lot of work for a large garden such as yours, and sometimes tilling is the best answer. Initially we lay large pieces of cardboard under the mulch to smother the grasses/weeds. Etc, etc. Love to you all and your new feathered friends!
