You Won't Believe Why We Almost Had To Quit The Vlog Forever,,,,

Good morning guys and welcome to today's video. I'm headed out to the chickens. I didn't put on a coat because I thought I'll just be a second. It is so cold. It is cold. Every day I compile our leftovers and throw them, throw it for the chickens. And look, look for eggs. Here. Whoa, geez Louise. It was a treat for you, you dummy. But I need to go in there and get the eggs. So you're gonna have to move. Get. I don't like him. Get. Squatted down to get the egg and you came right up to my face. I like to look for or more eggs. That's lots of food All right, let me out Let me out Crap shoot the door bounce back and open and the one chicken I don't want to get loose The whole reason we locked up our chickens is because of her. She's just such a sweetie. Hold on Let me get you in there here. Come on get in. Oh crisis averted That was wild. Holy cow. I'm gonna close this door actually. One egg. That little gray girl, she lays an egg every single day now, which is amazing. The white one, the fancy one that Sam is so proud that he got, never lays eggs. Like once every four weeks. Good morning guys. Welcome to today's video. I got Gabby and Sophie. They're somewhere in the background going to the goat barn. We're gonna finish off the goat barn today. I'm gonna get this ladder. We've got everybody here. Everybody wants to go in. Everybody wants to go in, even Winston. All right, we're gonna do this really quick. So I need a pole, I need the ladder, and I need to cut. We're making a wall right here so that the snow won't come in. Then I gotta take it out because I gotta be able to back a trailer thereafter. I don't know, we'll figure it out. I should have gone to bed, but I'm feeling all right. I need to tell you how I'm feeling inside, even if I try can get you out of my mind. Suddenly it's obvious that you're the one. So what I say, are you ready or not? Time to step it up, give it all that you got. I'll be on my way, waiting outside your door. You are all I want and more. Girl, I know we're better than the rest together. Thank you for watching. So much more, it ain't better to be alone. Tell you what has happened to my life. Feeling if it's right, just hold on. Who I am. I want to make it up to you and I've got a plan. I'm sorry if I hurt you, so please understand. Can't change what has been said and done. Guess I really need to tell you how I'm feeling inside. Even if I try to get you out of my mind. Suddenly it's obvious that you're the one. So what I say, are you ready or not? Time to step it up, give it all you got. I'll be on my way, waiting outside your door. You are all I want and more. Girl, I know we're better than the rest together. So much more, it ain't better to be alone. I'll show you what it's like in my life. Since I would change, you are like no other. I can't get enough, listen what I say, are you ready or not, time to step it up, give it all that you got, I'll be on my way, waiting outside your door, you are all I want and more, a girl I know. I don't think I can fit through here. Grab the camera first, and then in the other room, where the cat food is, you know that room in the back? Yeah. Give me the camera please. All right we're done. I don't know why the pieces of wood are all different sizes. So I'm going to leave it for now and cut it later. But I'm going to leave this like this for now. Block out the wind. Eventually I want to put wood like this up and down all the way along and all the way along there again. Make it extra sturdy. Yes I do need that. So now I want to close this off. I'm going to close this off and then I'm going to make a door at the end. So this will be all closed off too. So the girl's job with the pitchfork is to grab all this hay and shove it out so this door can close. That's the goal. All right, so we've got the opening here, so we can load this up with hay. And my intention is to actually get that closed off. It's the rain spout, so it's facing a different direction. Close that off. We're gonna close this door, see if we can close it. All right, so now the door's closed. I need to get wood for here, because the wind is blowing through here. But I need to change this spout so it's going out that way. I have extra pieces, I can make a longer tube. Change this spout so it goes that way. Block this off. I'll block this out, I'm gonna buy these plastic corrugated sheets and they're gonna go there and they're gonna go along along the top there too. Walked off and went to this spot. The wind blows more from this way than it does that way. The odd time it comes this way, but it comes here and it'll make this room really warm. Sophie's not impressed. But anyways, she's impressed that we're done now. All right, we're gonna go get hay. Sophie's gonna drive because we're gonna stock up the hay in the goat barn. Sophie's gonna drive to practice. And that'll be it for us for the afternoon. Anyways. Every time I come outside she's like I'm coming in. So I was busy almost all day and Sam was working on the goat barn. You guys know the goat barn is like my baby. Thought I lost my mitt. Okay yes we are at mitt season you guys. It's like so cold now we are wearing mitts. Anyway I wasn't able to see what Sam did. All I know is that Winston took off running with the camera. You guys know how he, you guys know how he always grabs the camera strap. Whenever I'm down here videoing, he grabs it. He loves it. He wants to chew it. He thinks the camera is his child. I don't know, but he loves it. Anyways, Sam said that Winston took off with the camera and Sophie said he was swinging it around like, hmm, good thing there's, we're lucky there's a vlog today. But anyways. So I didn't see what he did to the goat barn. The goat barn is my baby. Shoot, I missed it. They were both sounding so pretty. Do you think that goat's in heat? I don't know, man. Anyway, Sophie says she doesn't like what he did. And the goat barn is my baby. She's in heat, maybe. No, he's talking poshie or hazel. I don't know. Hazel looks... So fat, if she's not pregnant. If she's pregnant, you guys, I just thought of something. Hazel literally seems to seem like she got bred. She stood there and was happy and was bred. Oh my gosh, you're so bad, I love it. I love it. Absolutely love it. I'll go out there and look at it. But anyways, the thing about Hazel, she's so huge right now. I don't know if she's pregnant. Maybe she's just eating a lot right now. But if she's pregnant, as she came, her mom had four babies. What? What? Oh my gosh. What? All right. He didn't do anything in here. I'd like him to close this off and close that off. Or at least a little bit. Close it off. Wow. You guys. I don't know if that's a good thing because the goats are unhappy. Anyway. Wow. What do you guys think? I might move this thing down here, like down here. Because it's kind of windy over there. I don't know. Anyways, that's insane. I can't even. I did not even know he was doing that. Hi. Oh, my gosh. Anyway, my point about Hazel is that her mom is a super producer like Lola. Like, Lola is really big, and she is really big. Getting bigger and bigger. She's like a square. All right. All right. Let me go over here. Okay. I like it. Wow. What did he do here? Okay. I love it. Except for he needs to like straighten that and straighten that. Anyway, beggars can't be choosers, man. I'm just happy that he did that for me. I love it. Absolutely love it. I see that there's a space here, but he put plastic. So this is just temporary for winter. Hi, ladies. Obviously, she's pregnant. Hopefully. Hopefully, they're not just all like obese. Ow. I can't even climb under that. Okay, let's get going, get you ready. But yeah, my guess is if somebody else has a lot of babies this year. Oh my gosh, it's little Miss Hazel who's huge. This is why it's bad. It's just created a wind tunnel right through here. Before there was, so he'll have to fix that. That goat always sneaks in. Sophie the animal whisperer. Also, Sam also brought new hay. Like, I'll just be busy living life, doing whatever I got to get done in the day. And I come down at night and my barn is all set up wonderfully for me. More hay. Like, it's so wonderful. Sophie went to get it. Sophie's been driving every day. Actually, every day, I think. Sam would trust you. Dad would trust you I want you to just drive the truck yourself now. I don't think so. Like in the yard or whatever, right? Well, yeah, I've done that before. But yeah, she's doing amazing. To be honest, I never knew she had it in her either. Don't push the camera, kitty. Because don't push the camera. She's like, this camera's had a really rough day. But to be honest, I am not a natural driving person. And so I wondered if Sophie would get that from me, but she doesn't. She's good, she's a good little driver. Oh yeah, I had to back up in here at two then. Did you do good? Not really, literally been looking at these girls. She could be pregnant, she looks like big, she looks small, she looks small and she looks big, she looks the biggest of them all these two, I bet you they're pregnant, they're both bookends, they're like big girls but she is really big. Remember yesterday I told you that I needed Sam to fix this staying over there because the goats eat from the top and poop and pee in there. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I have this theory that Three goats in there now. Isn't that the stupidest thing? But I have this theory that if a baby has really good nutrition from the start, and I'm talking like really good minerals I'm not talking like the best hay alfalfa hay and the best grain, and where we live that's not enough to to have good nutrition, they need really good minerals and finding really good minerals here like you guys have seen is really hard but if they had really good minerals from the start, I believe that it it makes them have more babies. Hazel is one goat that came from further away and where they live they have to travel like two and a half hours to get really good grain. She actually is able to have it ordered in and a driver comes and delivers it to her house. So when I found that out I tried and I saw how good quality her her fur was and how good she looked when we first got her. I tried to get on their delivery list but we're too far east and they don't come out here so we couldn't we get that, we couldn't get that, but she has been out of all of our goats the has had the best nutrition since birth and our baby girls this year have had really good nutrition, so time will tell but I think that those are the ones that really have few fertility issues, I know Lola came from the sales barn Literally from the sales barn. And she literally is a super producer. She goes into the best, strongest heat. She's like textbook. Yeah, she doesn't like, she just, she gets, she's happy when she's in heat. She loves the boys. Yeah, and she loves babies. I was thinking next year, if she has a lot of babies this year, we should let her have a year off. You know, she's never raised four babies before. Lola would protest. I know, because they feel a lot of pride when they go out in the spring and they have their babies. But you know what I saw today? You know what I saw today? And it was crazy. I saw Oakley with her gold baby standing up and fighting her. Like, you know how they stand on their back feet and they bang heads? I saw her biting her. I hardly ever get to see goats actually like disciplining their kids. I saw Toffee and she just bites them. You saw Toffee bite her baby? No, I saw her bite Oakley's baby. Both of them. They both walked up. One at a time and she bit both of them four times. But Oakley, she was teaching her baby something. I don't know if she was teaching it to be a goat and teaching it to fight or she was mad at it. She was headbutting it and headbutting it and then she wanted it to go someplace. So she grabbed it by the butt and dragged it. I'm like, what the? Clearly goats don't have as much patience as I thought. They don't let people see. They never, I never see them ever like manhandling their babies. I see their babies listen and behave. I bet you her mama did that to her because her mama, Lola, her babies listen to her always. They don't ever step out of line. Lola's babies always loved her. Like, even now, Pip is like attached to her. Yeah, her babies always loved her, but you don't think that she didn't make them behave. Look at how spooky it looks. You know why? Because she saw Winston being crazy to her. And she's like, my babies are never going to do that again. Going to do that again. That's right, because she was the mama. Oh, no, Lola wasn't the mama, Winston. Pippin was always attached to her, though. Oh, yeah. Don't you know that you're beautiful just the way you are? You can't.
