@@IrrvelevantElephant36521 I was first. Sorry
@@idkart2379 its okay I didn’t see you
I have a Liege fighter that I would love to mix with Bruge. Keep the old world fighter breeds going. They have amazing large legs, and really make any cross breed look stronger.
What a joy to see a son helping his father provide for their family. Y'all be blessed and have a holy Easter.
Happy Easter!
The oldest boy is really working hard. Good for him!,!
This is the best I can get with chickens because I can’t have any
Me too I had to give mine up when I made my last move
same im trying to start a farm rate now
Same
I’d move … 😂 ! I’m not being sarcastic but outside animals are incredible for a egg producing meat making or just a few for a hobbyist… nothing better see your animals do well I live in a huge city with neighbors and I have chickens quail goats bees all legal animals! I wish I could have a milk cow lol 🎉. But we’re preparing to sell the house we own buy 10 acres or so and then build a new home on it . But we have huge gardens with lots of flowers ❤! 😊
@@stevedingman474 I wish I could move.
Love seeing your birds especially the ones that more uncommon the ones with the beautiful plumage
Your farm just keeps on getting better and better! Great work!! 🐓🐔🐣🦃🦆❤
Thanks, Jackie!
Wow, Eli has grown so much. He is going to grow up to be such a wonderful man. He works so hard and is always so respectful. He will be needing two of those factor meals to keep him full soon. 🙂You have every right to be proud of him. Kudos!
You guys are such an inspiration for me. I've been watching you guys for a year or two and I've joined my schools Agriculture program and when I grow up I hope to have a farm like you guys.
I’m so glad Bella growing up so fast she’s been an angels she’s so sweet
I've been watching you guys for almost 5 years and I still like your videos and want to have a farm when I'm older
I happened upon your channel when a suggested video was the one where you tricked the hens into hatching your pea chicks. I have been binging your videos for weeks, now. I agree with everyone else about how inspiring your videos are. In addition to that, it's also a so heartwarming and wholesome to watch. My navy veteran daughter and her active navy husband are considering homesteading as well. They have 3 kids with a 4th on the way. I'm trying to encourage them. They have even recently adopted 6 chickens from someone who can't take them where they're moving. I've tried to get her to watch your videos. Your videos also really make me think about the food I'm eating. I'm not in a position to farmstead, and I'm not sure that I could do it. I immensely respect what you're doing as you've certainly helped me appreciate what I do have available! There's more I'd like to say, and I have so many questions. I'm think I'll just finish with... Wishing you all the best!!! ❤
Thank you, Stephanie!
Hello! You guys are so inspirational! You inspire me with my chickens and animals, I’m only 12, but I want to own land and have a family like you guys when I’m older! Hope you are all doing well!
You can do it, buddy
@@whitehouseonthehill I love how much you inspire everyone!
Happy Easter. I too want to encourage you to fulfill your dream. I believe in the division of labor. I knew I wanted to be a doctor. It was not easy (my parents didn't pay for my dream and I had some learning difficulties). I was given the Pell grants (they are a type of inexpensive loans) and one $1,000 scholarship. The rest of my past high school education education I worked and had a deal with my spouse. We worked together on the cost of my dream. It took longer than the average so I was 34 yo but I did become a psychiatrist (MD). This allowed me to do things I do naturally and use Pharmaceuticals judiciously. I also became board certified in psychotherapy. Yes it was a "huge mountain to climb" but I am the never-give-up-kid. My hope is my story will encourage you no matter what difficulties you run into, you don't give up. There are many types of farms (I know because I came from the farming community of NE OHIO). Farmers have to be willing to learn and learn many things. My relatives and family friends have truly enjoyed their lives. They love what they do. Not all of my relatives stayed in farming (like me) but many did. Farming like being a physician is a balance with compassion and hard decisions. I truly wish you well.
Get silver and gold
Thanks for sharing. Love your beautiful family ❤ Eli has grown up to be a wonderful helper. Happy Easter 🐇🐣
Happy Easter, Miriam
love you be happy
Our chicks just hatched out today! We have a chick that is about to hatch out, but so far we have 7 that have hatched out. We have one pheasant and 5 chicks so far in our brooder. Our other chicken is in our incubator, the Nurture Right 360. I’m hoping for no more death in hatching because we already lost one chick, the yolk exploded but it somehow survived but then it died about 6 or so hours later. I hope your chicks don’t die in the cold and/or by a predator. Good luck on getting some more emus and chicks. Also my chickens are picking on on of the chickens in my flock, any ideas other than blinders? Good luck with everything on the farm Jake! Edit: I’m 11 and I bought the incubator and have been taking care of my chickens for almost a year now! It’s crazy how time flies. I’ve taken care of the chicks too. Our pheasant is called Pilot and our first chicken to hatch is named big foot since it had big feet when it hatched, we also got a French Black Copper for free as well as the pheasant. We got the eggs from Big Pine Hatchery, a local hatchery near us, about 40 minutes away. You also inspired me to be the person I am now, and thanks to you my chickens live a happy life and trust me more than any of my family members. You are also the reason we got hatching eggs and why I’m still going strong with this dream of mine. Thank you Jake and good luck.
0:42 these birds look so unique and awesome!
Hello White House On The Hill!! I was so happy to see yalls video....Yalls boys are so cute, and Bella is adorable, and she's growing so fast. She didn't mind going right into those chickens. To darn cute!!!! Yeah, the Missouri weather is something else, but hopefully, after Easter, the real cold will be gone till fall.....Enjoyed your video once again Jake and Becky and all four of those precious children Have an H💙ppy,H🩷ppy Eas✝️er to all of you on the One-N-Only White House On The Hill 💙🩷💙🐣💙🐣💙🐣🩷🐣 God Bless and bye for now 🩷 💙
I love watching your beautiful family! Happy Easter 🐣🐇✝️.
I can't get over how big your boys have got!!
Happy Easter to you and your family
I am really enjoying your content. I know nothing about farming; but I want a homestead. I am moving to Kenya to start with some goats and chickens. You guys are my inspiration!!
You should get a green junglefowl
First, I love your channel and your family is beautiful! I don’t do any type of farming and the only animal I have is an aussiedoodle (which I’m honestly curious what he would do around your animals and Joey, probably run in circles). Second I love that I can watch your lovely family and know that y’all are everyday people and even live within an hour of me. Third all I can think about this whole video is all of the spiderwebs in the chick barn… that room is going to showcase in my nightmares. I would be ‘feeling’ spiders crawling all over me the second I stepped in there! 😅 I do have a question regarding your video with the predators. So motion lights scare them off? Y’all got me afraid for when I let my dog out at night. I knew we had bobcats around but wasn’t aware coyotes were roaming as well.
Beautiful work my friend happy Easter
Those feeders look great. Happy Easter
So far so good... less work for us
Your cobweb collection is impressive! 😂😂❤️
🤣
So excited to find out if the emu eggs are fertile! I hope your family has a great Easter and the kids have fun😊
About 10 days to go!
Seeing Bella running behind the chickens and to think back when momma was pregnant with her. She is growing so fast ❤
Yeah! 4 months away from 2 years old! Time flies.
It's been almost two years?😮
Gosto muito de ver seus vídeos. Tem uma família linda e aprendemos muito . Abraço de Portugal I really like watching your videos. He has a beautiful family and we learned a lot. Hug from Portugal
Beautiful sharing ❤❤❤❤❤as usual
Thank you!
All of the chickens look awesome 🎉
yea ofcourse. .
I've been watching your videos for a long time and really enjoy seeing your family grow. Your videos are informative and entertaining! But I have a question??? In this video (Will our rare chicks survive) you are using a large chicken feeder (yellow and green) that has a rain protector on it. Where do you get that from? I haven't been able to find it on the internet. My flock of about 30 chickens waste sooooo much food and if it gets wet, well, you know. Knowing where I can get that feeder from would be very helpful. God bless you and your family. Susan
we have a few chickens and some other animals you help me so much!
You guys need to try and review some of the rent a coop brooders etc! I’ve seen a few great reviews so far but curious about them more! The waterer looks cool!
I can't wait for the baby emu's to hatch from future homesteader on KZhead 👍🏼❤️
i really to get my chicks outside but i have no coop for them yet and i hope you guys have a good Easter
Happy Easter!
Love the content plz keep making more
My goodness the days like really goes fast your princess bella is now walking around, I'm waiting for the second generations of emu God bless you guys
Less than 2 weeks to go!
I read an article years ago about a hen that managed to get out of a truck. The truck was taking them to auction. This hen lived by herself in this neighborhood most of one summer,fall and winter by herself. People in the neighborhood would put out food and try to catch her,but nobody could.The next spring she disappeared and people thought she had been eaten by something. A while later they were all surprised to see her with a dozen chick's. She had not been with a rooster since she excaped,the truck the year before. You keep putting you hens with different roosters. The chick's aren't going to be purebred unless you keep them only with roosters of thier own breed. You can mix all the hens won't matter. But those roosters don't care what breed those hens are.
Ok…. I love that you have all the cobwebs in the brooding barn. Our chicken coop barn does that and I always wonder what I’m doing wrong. Why so dirty? Good to see I’m not the on,y one 😅
I imagine the spiders will eat bugs that harass the babies. 🦟
Yeah, we usually clean the place out every spring. Got a little crazy this winter.
My chicken coop had soo many cobwebs and my friends would always freak out when they saw it but I hardly noticed the cobwebs because I was so used to it 😂
It's nice your son is learning ❤
I'm in comments because I want to ask you something, maybe you know something about it. My family has chicken for years, since I was kid I would go to the coop and just spend time with the chickens. Roosters are ours, because they are usually really big (since we bought a really pretty rooster because I picked up a liking in him, he grow up to be one of the biggest we had, and since then we have pretty big chickens) and my grandma likes it. We of course have our own hens too, but we still need to buy new for sake of keeping a bigger number (for eggs mostly), we don't have a specific breed (or we just doesn't really care, because we have them mostly for eggs and meat but for my and my grandfathers fun too) so we buy every year (sometimes we skip one) 15-20, sometimes up to 25 young chickens, and so with that we got a hen that lays BLUE EGGS. I'm sure it's from the bought ones but it could be that we got eggs from somebody if tho never one of them was blue. In past year my grandpa decided to o an experiment and put a hen on two good blue eggs, they chatch, we have two beige colored hens, one lays blue eggs one doesn't. None of said bought chickens weren't beige but there were two white ones, my grandpa doesn't remember which hen was laying blue agg first. So in this year my grandpa is collecting said blue eggs and we will put a hen or two on them (I'm not sure how much he gathered over few months but I think it's enough to go from normal beige eggs come to hens laying blue eggs). Do you think it's just different breed of chickens or it's something else? Simply curious. My grandma doesn't like the idea.
Or someone in the comments knows something about it.
Absolutely love those boots you are wearing. Where did you get them? They look comfortable.
A big fan of you from Kashmir India❤
Dude is minecrafting IRL and I love it
Love all the different breeds that you have! 🥰
Just curious, what is the plan if all this Emu eggs hatch? Are you keeping them all?
Me and my fiancé have been watching you for a couple years now it seems, feel blessed to see your family grow and you inspire up to be self sufficient! Thanks guys ❤
Awesome!
Run shade cloth or reusable plastic hessian on star pickets between the fence that divides the yards. It's a bit of a pest to have to go another level of separation but I doubt that the fence will quell the fight without at least one rooster becoming severely stressed or hurt. It's peak breeding time so they will be on high alert as a result of hormones which means they likely wont learn from the fence zapping them
They stopped fighting after that and they haven't fought since. So there's no point in doing that.
Barred rocks are also good dual purpose, and Wyandotte.
Great videos keep it up. I have been watching since 3 years ago
Some cool looking chickens
Haha I've also had the same conversation with my boy about socks. Silly farm kids, too busy for socks.
😂
Great video as always 👍
Hi Guys, those Birds are HUGE ! We had Frost last night🥶 I hope you have a lovely Easter Sunday ✝️🐣🐓❤ JO JO IN VT 💞
I always wondered why you guys did not have feeders. Saves time and work. How is your mite problem?
Beautiful birds! How tall is that Indio?
My son’s name is Isaiah and when I adopted him at 6 years old he liked to try to pull the same thing with his socks. 😅
Love your videos 😊
Most breeds you can tell when thier first hatched. The wing feathers on a male will be even and the feathers on a female will not be even.
I am trying to hatch silkie chicks, but all the ones I've candled have no growth and are not fertile. Any suggestions to get her to breed? Happy easter
Did yall find the prededor yet? And my broody hen just hatched some chicks a few days ago and I have some that are a few months old like two months older and we have 4 hens and 9 chicks
Possibly the bobcat, but the coyote is still around.
hey i was wondering where you guys got those brahmas i’ve been looking for a pair and i just couldn’t find any
Hey Jake....I am eagerly waiting for an update on the emu eggs.
Yea am also waiting
Eli is growing into a big boy/ man. You must be so proud of your kids.i had a grandson who refused to wear socks and his feet really stunk.🤢I wanted to order factor, it's still too much for my very low budget.😢
That was So cool of a video
Regarding the Bruges fighters, you should wait to determine whether they are roosters or hens. The comb and wattles are very small
Just having some fun predicting. They can keep growing and let us know for sure.
You should get a ocellated turkeys
You have some pretty-looking birds.
How can you tell roosters from hens when they're so young?
Fabulous and informative as always, inspirational family. 🐣
Thank you!
Hey keep the content up and also one quick question, Where do you get those chickens since when i try to find some we can find any so im just wondering where to find and order them. Thanks and have a great day!
We got the eggs on eBay in January
Alright thank you for the information hope you and your family have a great day Also how old are the eggs surposse to be to hatch them when ordered in eBay
And btw what do I do or know if the eggs got scrambled inside or not
To stop those roosters from fighting put some tin & fence posts up so they can't see each other.
I think the Swedish flower chicken would be a chickenbreed for you . It's a rare breed and also a dual purpose breed.😊
Great video like always😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate it
Hey WhiteHouseOnTheHill, I have 3 roosters and one that always chase on certain chicken non stop what should I do?
We love your vedio so mach
Maybe drill small holes in the legs of the chicken feeders and use tent stakes to secure them to the ground, when feed gets low & the feeders become lighter.
We'll try to keep them topped off, but we'll consider it if they get too light.
@@whitehouseonthehill Hi, we are very honored to see our feeders on your channe (we are Novital, the manufacturer); to preserve feeders from strong wind, we suggest that you ballast the feeders by putting for example a brick inside. We also point out that there is a possibility to raise the feeder using the special spacers so that the height of the feeder will reach the hens' necks and they will waste less, they will waste less food because they will not be able to sort it. We will continue to follow your adventures with great interest.
Are you still planning to do a hybrid project with the large chicken breed? Curious to see what they would look like 😊
Best farm ❤
Hey, guys, I am waiting for your aviary to finish, so could you give a timeframe on when would we expect your aviary to finish?
Gonna have more videos about it soon
@@whitehouseonthehill As a matter of fact I have seen other creators that have spoken about your aviary and you do not even know them lol
More chickens die in coop fires every year than die by freezing. They are amazingly well insulated. Imagine wearing a waterproof down coat all the time.
👍
When is there gonna be an update on the aviary?
Funny chicken ❤
Have you been weighing the emu eggs to see if they are fertile? I have seen other people check that as the green shells make them hard to candle to see if there is growth.
Yes, per our original hatching video, we have always weighed them with every hatch.
The email eggs are taking forever to hatch it seems to me. Still wait wait patiently for hatching.
I was always scared of roosters they seemed to seek me out to get me 😅
i’m guessing 2 hens and 3 roosters but i wasn’t sure if there were 3 hens and 2 rooster
My daughter wrote a letter for you all and she waiting for you to open. Hopefully one day.
Do you think you'll add solar to your farm for these electric fences or do they already use solar?
Yes, they use solar
Lol I just feel like going there and teaching him how to properly say , Indio gigante ' 😁😂 Love the guy, but his butchering the word every time 😂😅
Do you eat any of the chickens or just use them for the eggs and breeding?
I can't wait for the emu eggs to hatch if they are fertile
I like how you have your title and thumb nail but the video is not all about that one thing also you a really good KZheadr nice work and keep it up!
I have a question? Are blue Cochin bantams good hens?
Where are other indigo's roosters please reply.I really like them.
wow so cool
I'm from Belgium and my parents have had Bruges fighters their entire life... watch out if you have two roosters... they will fight until death... at a certain point you'll definitely have to separate them
#1 rule of chicken keeping: all chicks are roosters until they lay an egg 😂 #2 rule: if it is friendly and you love it, it's a rooster 🐓
I Love your guys videos
Thank you!
@@whitehouseonthehill you're welcome 🤗
07:46 Are all those spiderwebs? What amount and sizes of spider do that? :)
