That's so funny how eager the ducks were to get back into the dam again! I could watch your videos of the ducks and chickens for hours 🙂
i have ducks and they poop in their water. how long do you go away? Also, do you have a system to fill it up if it emptys out?
what is the really big water pan made out of. that's great
Dam Time!!! Woohoo!!!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one neurotic about my birds, lol. Loved the video, you have a lovely set up <3
What if your going away in the winter?
Have you ever considered a livestock guardian dog such as an Anatolian Shepherd dog for security for your chickens and ducks? A well trained livestock guardian will make short work of wild dogs or foxes should they attempt to prey on your poultry.
How long do the eggs last, say you go away for a week can you still come gather the eggs and eat em?
Great ideas.Taking really good care of your flock. Thanks
I hope in a couple years we might get a place with some yard to have some chickens. We love eggs, so it'd be really nice to be able to get our own, and of course chickens are darn adorable. These vids are very helpful on general curiosity for now, and will hopefully be a big help later on 🙂
For $100 you buy a electric fencer . All you need is one wire around your pen approx 12 inches of the ground
No dog raccoon or fox , not even a bear will try to get in.
It's actually very funny to see a raccoon touching it and start running in the opposite direction .
Great Video. best to be safe than sorry they say. You're looking after thier best interests & wellbeing. Just a hint, its probably best not to announce online that you'll be away from home for a period o of time. Keep it general & just talk about what you do generally when you're away. There are crazy/dishonest people out there that might track down where you live & take advantage of there not anyone being home. Cheers.
The chickens were waiting for you ,they gathered at the door to welcome you back,
A beautiful video.thanks man
All your birdies look so happy, it’s great to see 🙂
Your videos are great, I’ve just subscribed.
Very nice video. Now a days DOG CAMS are very popular. I think it will work out very well if you have a designated camera for shooting the day to day life of your chickens, quail and ducks. I am very excited just imagining it esp. because you have a pretty sweet set up.
i think u missed security ….not a safe pen
Water Nipples what’s the website for those nipples really really like those! 🙂
I agree, I go on quick vacations 2 to 4 days max. Same types of concerns and prep.
The only reason im scared of getting ducks is because I go on vacation usually during summer and holidays, I’m not a farmer or anything like that, i have never owned farm animals.. but I think I’m ready to raise ducklings
Nice to see you so happy 🙂
i know this is really late but what can you do for ducklings ?
What are the white ducks?
Thanks for the video. Very informative.
The simple reassurance that the birds can be set up to be self sufficient but safe for a few days is just what I needed to see. Thank you ❣️
I wish all the chickens and ducks in this world could be treated so well.
And I wish I lived in your neighbourhood!
Looks like a beautiful place to live and you are a really great person to care for your flock as you do.!
I loved it. I am in PA, USA, and have been thinking of getting some chickens. I was hoping to see what type of hen house you had, but it seems its something you made yourself. I really enjoyed the video. I will keep you posted in the Spring if everything falls together for me.
Always amazing content! Just bought my first chicken coop, Can’t wait to you harvest my first eggs
