Farm Chores Ep. 3: Escaped Sheep, a Snake Scare & Injured Hens

It's a chore day where absolutely everything happened. 🐑 In this video: feeding the dogs, sheep, and chickens, the sheep getting loose after the electric fence mysteriously stopped working (and the hunt for the culprit), a way-too-close encounter with a copperhead snake near the barn, first looks at the barn where the pregnant ewes will eventually have their babies, a volunteer pumpkin plant the kids discover growing in the dog bed, chicken coop chores plus a request for better chicken-watering setup ideas, treating two hens (Belinda and Butters) after rough mating wounds from our rooster and getting them settled into quarantine, and a full walkthrough of the garden beds, from the pollinator bed finally filling in to which transplants are struggling in the heat and which (watermelon, sweet potatoes) are absolutely thriving. Oh, and meet Monique, our resident chicken on fence-post duty! 🐔 New to the channel? I grow food at home, raise animals, and share what actually works (and what doesn't) the whole way through.
