She’s the cutest. She has good days she bad. Sometimes she climbs the steps to get away from me, other times she’s very playful. I’ll get there.
It is a very interesting and unique farm. You have done a wonderful job.

Yeah………this is my kind of garden with what you both have planted. I love it all. Everything looks fine, fine, fine. I can’t figure out how Rabbit stays so white in with Bobby though! So good of you to reintroduce the family by name and show what an incredible farmstay house 🏡 you have and how beautifully it is kept🥇🤗

You have done an amazing job with the animals and ground work since the beginning. I don't think that I have seen a neater garden in my life. Not a weed in sight. Keep making videos, and I'll keep watching. 💛 from 🇨🇦.

I love your videos Chad. Gives me hope:) I just retired from my RN career and we moved out to our homestead acreage in central Alberta a week ago. We are at the “where on earth is everything?? What were you thinking getting a puppy now too?”Chaos phase. I look at what you’ve accomplished in a few short years and I have hope! But first…I would like a full night’s 💤

Haha no piglets yet, but I think she’s getting really close…she can hardly walk and I saw a bit of milk at the tip of a teat. We love the high beds too, it make gardening so much more enjoyable instead of loads of work. Tons more to do here though. Thanks for all you do 😁
Bubbles rolling over, showing her belly, and grooming herself right in front of you is a really good sign. She trusts you! 😄 Thanks for all the video's, Chad. They always make my day little better

Love your videos. We have Khaki Campbells, Pekin, Embden geese, 24 hens, 6 little rescue dogs. I always wanted a farm and at 72 and husband building coops at 65. I love our Embden goslings and our musical hens. The garden is overrun. Never have butchered ducks. Could you please show that? Enjoy your summer! My husband was stationed in Ontario a few years for American Air Force. We live in South Carolina in the mountains.

Thank him for his service for me. I will be doing a bit about meat ducks later in the fall, can’t show the actual butchering cause of KZread guidelines but I’ll get as close as possible. Pekins are nice plump birds too. South Carolina doesn’t have such harsh winters right? Thnx for the comment keep doing what you’re doing, age is only a number 😉♥️
Evening Chad. I must comment on how lovely your garden turned out this year. Congrats to you and your wife on the success from your hard work. There is such a variety of crops there. What else can I say? When will Billie have the piglets? Will Bubbles come around? Will you be able to one day tag Chewie? I guess I will have to keep tuning in to find out. Have a great weekend.

Thanks a bunch, we’re please with this years garden too. First year we abandoned it, last year we started the fabric and raised beds, this year not too shabby. Billie is getting so close I can feel it, I’m ready. And YES please keep tuning in. 😂 🙏♥️
Hello Chad, How close are you to all of the Wild Fires in Canada. We are getting alot of SMOKE from Canada, Everyday almost. Somedays its very bad and we are told to stay inside if we have breathing problems. I see Bubbles the cat is coming around.

Not close at all, I don’t even notice any smoke close to us. The news said today we have 800 active wildfires, that’s crazy eh. Better to take care of yourself. 🍺

hi i like your farm very much you treat the animals so well =) i like it , even if i don't always understand you (my english is not that good) i understand you well enough to understand how great you are with the animals you love them all very much.❤ ask ? Do you get your cats neutered? at least the males? Especially the males go looking for a bride and run away many kilometers where they often unfortunately risk their lives or never find their way home if they survived. Castrated tomcats are loyal to the place and then no longer run away, I love cats and kittens, and cats that can have a long, happy life ❤

When you are with Bubbles take a chair in and sit down and let her come to you, don't get discouraged she is sniffing you, exposing her belly and attempting to play so the hard part is over.
I noticed Chewy isnt in the catio with the other cats, do u lock him in the barn at night to keep him safe from predators?

@@samanthasteen350 I have a whole bunch of videos about trying to retrain Chewy in the barn. I was locking him in a small room we have in the barn but he was doing so well and really getting comfortable with me so I let him out of that room. Long story short before I was able to put him back with the crew in the catio he disappeared. We think maybe predator got him cause that was over a year ago.
