These Animals Need To Move
These animals need to move to new pasture: chickens, turkeys, and cattle. Some of them got impatient and moved themselves! Hilarie and I have a busy day getting them all rearranged, and I have some time afterwards to get another long delayed project finally done.

Pete is great especially his calm personality. He reminds me of Mr Rogers neighborhood his calmness and kindness. He's a farmer's version of Mr Rogers neighborhood.

Hi
This guy cracks me up. I do enjoy these videos on how they run their little farm. Keep 'em coming.
I often lubricate the drain plug on my generator the same way :)
I really enjoy watching how you interact with your animals.
I especially like the way that when it comes to marketing your pigs or chickens the way you have a gracious way of and then their lives and give them them to quality Inn respect for giving them self to us.
Always puts smile on my face to watch the ladies escape the clown car!

Birds of all kinds are AWESOME!
Don’t ever stop giving us information about the farm animals. I don’t watch a lot of jump on television I’m always interested in the animal world and how we live off of them and how they put deuce quality food for us. I love the way that you interact with your children and your wife.
Thank you Pete on the preparation for winter with your generator. It really helped me. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Your video work is Awesome. Your Humor is even more Awesomer. Your information is the most Awesomeness. Your collective Awe's are over the top and much appreciated.
I have seen Pete & Hilary move the egg mobile quite a few times and I laugh every time at how the chickens squawk and fly the coop! 😂🤣
In a crazy world it's nice to hear a kind and considerate voice like yours - the message is always good and we are grateful for it. God bless!
It's funny how oil plugs are always attracted to oil drain pans.

Hello Peter. You had a great day on your farm. And as you were trying to get the bolt back into the opening for the oil on your generator, my thought was watch it drop into the oil pan. OOPS! it did. See you later. Be well.
Pete, after I retired from the Marine Corps, I had a house built in a rural part of Ohio. We had 3 acer's my neighbor was a farmer who had been there seemed like forever. He was just like you.....even keeled, never rattled, and ALWAYS a source for positive information. He died, after our second year living there. I was crushed. It was like loosing a father. I enjoy your video's and you remind me so much of my dear lost friend and neighbor. Good luck and continued success!!!
I suspect Pete’s kids roll their eyes a lot and not just cause they’re teenagers 💛💛💛🤓
The right tool for the job. The extension got that plug out in a jiffy, with no more burns from the manifold. Everything ready and tempting nature to do it's worst.
It's awesome that you can fix it all! It really makes me smile to see your family succeed...and I like your jokes!
A squirt of starting fluid in the air cleaner works.... In the fire dept. We were always told NEVER run the generators with out something plugged into it.
Watching your video, I can almost smell the field grass at my property. Time to get out there!
Hi, thanks for sharing. It is the little things that make your heart beat. ✌🏻😁
When things go south I watch one of your videos to brighten my day. 😊
Some people can't handle that 'functional' is not always by the book. Thank goodness there's someone behind a desk here to tell people out in the fields how to do it right.
After growing up on mr.cleans farm I am so glad to watch your vlogs. Concern for cows standing in mud , fresh pasture for hens ..etc. I usually want to have a shower after watching farm vlogs. My father's second farm was in Berkshire, not to far from you. Thanks for the memories boosters.
Whenever I have to change a small engines oil I put it in the tractor loader and lift it up to a comfortable height , it saves the back since the drain plugs are in horrible places on everything now.
when cows eat that close it shows a comfort level and family like zone. nuce footage , thankyou we donot see that here, peace
"RELEASE THE CHICKENS".. 🐔 🐓 Those cow's, lol bunch of noisy winers 🐄. Haha. Have a great day Pete.
My husband use to say maintenance of our things keep them in good running condition and you save a lot of money in the long run. I always feel better if I can get one good task done for the day. 🇨🇦
It looked so eerily familiar to me when you dropped that plug/bolt in the oil pan. I think it's almost every 3rd time I change oil, or close to it that it happens to me. By the way, thanks for reminding me to check out my generator, it's been a while since it's last check up! Your so right, when we get done with the hay and all the maintenance that goes with it, that's the time for us to get to the clean-up list. Thanks for the great video and I hope you and your family have a fantastic weekend!
Is great that you both work together.
Pete, don't you know it's a tradition to drop the oil plug in the oil when you're changing it!😂
Well maintained farm tools it is a recipe for success😄👍
Again, that calf is so sweet, and your cows are spoiled:))) Whatever you start doing, your lady is ahead of you!!!
I love the mobile chicken house and turkey roost. You're right Mr. Pete it is the little things in life!
I put Sea Foam in all the gas for my small engines. Never had an issue starting or running after sitting for a while.
Another good video. Keep up the good work and don't let things get away from you. Stay safe and good luck.
Thanks for the video, Pete. Hope you all have a great day and weekend at the market!
Go Green, Pete! Thanks for wearing the Sparty T-shirt.
I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when you were talking about the chicken mobile tires. Haha 😄
Your animals. Are so happy u do a great job running your farm great to see
I learn so much from you Pete. Not just farm animal things but engine things too! Thanks!!😊
LOL I called that dropping of the bolt into the oil, I was shouting at my monitor "Move the oil, move the oil!" hehe I have BTDT too many times

I’m Confused why people consistently put thumbs down? If they don’t like it, why not just move along? I think you’re doing a great job. Keep it up.
Your wry sense of humor keeps me laughing and my wife confused...she asked, " Why would he drive the chickens down the road? "🤣😂🤣😂...I told her so they wouldn't need to cross it..lol
If someone in the family is particularly artistic, you could put a mural on the side of the chicken-mobile with a big "Clucky Coup" Logo on the side

Always enjoy your channel Pete. Good work moving all the fowl around! Moving cattle looks interesting . The cattle were looking for greener pastures.., you have so much patience with your cows! Keep the great videos coming
Incredible the verity of skills you have. Farming and maintenance, electrics. Incredible
My wife years ago said she wanted to live in a city no smaller than Philly PA, now she and I run a small hobby farm in NY and are slowly growing. I bought two Massey Harris Pony tractors recently and we have a 1 acre garden planned. Now she says "I can't imagine living in the big city, I love the peace and quiet and our animals" Lol. Amazing how things change! I hope to finally meet you tomorrow at the Farmers Market!

Could you have imagined when you went through that crisis and left your architect career that you would one day have nearly 200k people watching you go about your daily chores? I don't doubt one day in the not so distant future it will be millions! 😊
We use our little generator to run our pressure washer to clean the bottom of our boat. It keeps it checked throughout the year. We are in southeast Alaska and our boat needs frequent cleaning to improve fuel efficiency by removing grass drag
Hello Pete and Hillary a good farmer talks to his animals keeps them calm and familiar with you as you do and it shows. I have a honda gen works great runs water pump fridge some lights and the dam tv lol. It has 12 volt charger so I use charge battery tractor other batteries runs great no ethanol fuel in it. Have a great day evening
After a long tiring day of work, it's such a treat to watch one of your videos during my relaxation time each evening. Thank you so much for what you do!
You're livestock is looking great Pete. I just took a break from piglet watch to watch your video...Our gilt is having her first farrowing tonight. Excitement on the farm!
Who knew I would willingly watch a guy change oil on a small engine for five minutes. Pete you are something else. A regular pied piper. :-)

What an amazing video. Greetings from Florida.
I just love your videos. I learned something new today about how small engines work too. Bright spot in my day! Thank you.
Let’s follow Hillary around one day. Let her carry the camera and narrate. If she’s camera shy follow her as she tends the poultry. I love to watch egg gathering time and preparing them for market.
Hey Pete, it's a good thing you have such a great working partner.
Absolutely love your videos! You don’t just show yourself working and you take time to explain the “whys and hows” of farming and marketing with great added humor. You’re my FAVORITE utube contributor. I love the way you care for the animals in a quiet peaceful compassionate way instead of all the hoopla most farmers do to get them fed, moved etc. You fully explain the reasoning of what and how you do your business and the realities of the farm with those little splotches of sly humor. Loved how you rebuilt the old homestead. Im in the process of liquidating my small sport horse breeding farm and i know how much work goes into any endeavor with animals and with so much variety on your farm I’m in awe of how you keep up with it but it shows how a “labor of love” can make a life fulfilling. Its time to fully retire for me and relax but its a difficult process as I’m sure it was to decide to leave your architecture career and venture into a totally different lifestyle. Keep those wonderful videos coming and educating people in the realities of a sustainable farm. YOU DONE GOOD! Keep them coming You’re the best!!
This channel is therapeutic! Thanks Pete
I feel the same way. There are days that seem like no matter how hard you work it’s never enough.
You’re a joy to watch and listen to Pete. Also, you are a natural born teacher. So many interesting things to learn around the farm. Thanks!

Pete, I keep a spray can of starting fluid (ether) handy for those reluctant engines that don't seem to want to start putt-putting. If it still won't start, I know there's a bigger problem. Also, when I got my 'big' generator (6250 watts) after Zeta last year, I got a little tool bag to hold the accessories for it, wrenches, extension cords, manual, extra fuel line, etc. Keeps all that stuff together so I don't have to go hunting for it when I need it, and I figured power is important enough to dedicate a few tools strictly to that use. Didn't help much this year; after half an hour of looking for the extension cords I could swear came with the thing, my wife and/or son had to remind me that they were in the bag. Yep, they were. :rolleyes:

Either use with a small engine is a bad idea, if you’ve gotten away with it you have been lucky. I’ve seen broken Head bolts, blown head gaskets, bent rods, broken rods through the side of the blown. If you insist on using it pull the spark plug and spray a little on that and reinstall. Good luck
It’s so fun to watch the hens coming out of the house! 😂
Chicken tractor @ 60mph = pre scrambled eggs!😂
Best small farm channel !!! Informative, thoughtful insight and humourus. Thanks Pete!
I love herding your turkeys too: vicariously, haha!
Peter, you are spoiling us with the amount of videos coming our way! I hope feeding us content does not impede on the important things in life. I promise we won't break the fence down when being put on a video diet (piggy promise..).
Love your sense of humor in the tire change.yes little project accomplished makes lighter work for winter
I just put a forkful of lunch in my mouth when you said “I didn’t balance that new tire.” I almost spit out my lunch! 😂🤣😂
Thanks for the video Pete 👍
I like the tractor supply oil too. I use Stabil marine in all my gas engines and storage .I have had no problems in years.
I tend to use my Honda inverter several times a year on my antique camper. I'm of the opinion that cheap oil is better than broken down oil, or not enough. Also believe grease is cheaper than bearings. Preventative maintenance is good policy. Thanks Pete.
Pete - if you get a 5 gallon can of 100LL from your local small airport it will store in a generator for years with no issue. It is blended/refined to store for extended periods unlike ethanol or car gas.
I bought a new pressure washer that wouldn't start. It did start after a few minutes of pulling on the cord, once I set the switch from OFF to RUN. I'm heading out next weekend to service everything before winter as well. Take Care. Dave N.
Another good one, Pete! Thank you for teaching and not being like a reality TV show...
Make a Drains-it tube( or buy one) make it so much easier next time, you don't dred changing the oil next tine
Beautiful forage your feeding. lucked out on the generator. Many blessings.
You should show a time lapse of the chickens going in at night

Pete, I run Marine STA-BIL and some Sea Foam in the tank of all my power equipment. I keep my tanks full when storing to keep them from rusting. Never had any issues starting and no need to buy the non ethanol fuel. it sure makes them easy to start when the time comes. Cheers from Giddings, Texas.
