Today we are showing you our 3 broody hens and we are hoping to have our first baby chicks ever to be hatched naturally on the homestead. This one particular broody hen is her second attempt and she is only a year old, 2 of our other hens are partridge chanteclers and are less than a year old. We have been wanting broody hens for years and in one spring we have 3 broody hens. Now we are becoming more sustainable in our chickens as we may not need to use an incubator in the future. Stay tuned to see how many these broody hens will hatch out! Like what you see? https://www.youtube.com/c/PloughmansBackyard?sub_confirmation=1 Shop on Amazon?

Today we are putting up a temporary chicken run to get our chickens out of the barn. This will be the first time they have been out since last fall and the first time they will not be free ranging throughout the backyard. We are using a thick deer fencing to keep them in. We decided to have a large run for them so they will stay on our own property as well as to keep them from eating out of our vegetable gardens, our fruit bushes as well as eating the perennials. I have to admit, I do miss seeing them free ranging, but I love the fact our gardens are protected. We will be looking into cover crops for our chicken run. Until then we will be offering our chickens plenty of treats, as well as fodder.

Our 4 week old chicks had their first day outside. I loved to watch the chicks as they experienced the first moments of being out doors, recognizing they could start to fly and jump, experience the heat of the sun and the taste their firsts blades of grass. The chicks enjoyed a few hours of out doors as we were close by working at cleaning up our perennial flower beds.

March is a very busy month in the bird migration calendar. In Canada many birds migrate to warmer climates and return around March. If you enjoy watching the spring birds return in Canadas migration you will enjoy these series of videos that myself and other youtubers are keeping track of. You too can keep track of the migration of birds in March where you live and let us know in the comments below which birds you are starting to see. We love watching the migration of birds change throughout the seasons and watching how storms bring migrating birds close to the feeders. Want to participate in the birding challenge? You can! The homesteading birders challenge is a challenge for all homesteaders world wide to participate at share 12 months of birding at your homestead. We all want to see what birds you get at your homestead and see if we can see the tracking of the migration of birds. This challenge is for those who love nature and bird watching as well as just encouraging each other to spend some time to relax and reflect of the beauty of living in the country. To participate you just need to film the birds monthly at your homestead, or get photos to share and use the hashtag #homesteadingbirders2022, and just HAVE FUN! #homesteadingbirders2022 #canadianhomesteadingbirders2022 #ploughmansbackyard #canadianhomesteaders #birdwatching #wildbirds #birds #birding #migrationbirds #canadianhomesteadingbirders2022 #migration #marchmigration #canadianmigration #birdingchallenge Like what you see? https://www.youtube.com/c/PloughmansBackyard?sub_confirmation=1 TubeBuddy is a browser extension that lets you get more views and increase subscribers by providing you with tools that help you optimize your content in the fastest time possible!

The Columbia 18 Inch Rear Tine Tiller is an excellent tiller for breaking raw ground and tilling large gardens. It has a Honda motor, and an easy one pull start. The Columbia 18 inch tiller is a large machine but is simple to use. The Columbia tiller has a great handle which makes it comfortable to maneuver and has a quick release that automatically shuts off the tiller if you let go of the handle which is a great safety feature. I have tried many different tillers over the years and I must say I enjoy using the Columbia 18 inch rear tine tiller for all my gardens. If you are thinking of investing in a tiller, this would be a great option for larger size gardens. If you have smaller gardens and believe this would be too large, check out my other review on the Mantis tiller here: https://youtu.be/0vr_LKqb0WA Like what you see? https://www.youtube.com/c/PloughmansBackyard?sub_confirmation=1 TubeBuddy is a browser extension that lets you get more views and increase subscribers by providing you with tools that help you optimize your content in the fastest time possible!

This season we have had significant melting of snow in a very short time which has caused some challenges around the homestead, including the chicken coop. Chickens need to have a well ventilated coop along with a dry area, free from moisture to prevent some life threatening issues. The fact that we have run in to this challenge worries me. Thankfully we should only have about another month left of snow. This video gives you some great lessons and tips on how to build, prepare and plan your chicken coop design. We have been using this barn for our chicken coop for 4+ years and have never experienced this kind of situation before. Check out our latest challenge around the homestead and see how our chickens have made out during the winter!

Some of these new exciting seeds are Peperika, Rattlesnake Pole Beans, White Scallop Squash, Giant Crimson Tomato and Summer Savory. Welcome to the Canadian Seed Challenge of 2022. This seed challenge is a great way for Canadians to share seeds that they have extra of, saved from their own gardens or find those hard to get seeds from sold out companies. To take part in this Canadian Seed Challenge of 2022 watch the videos under #canadianseedchallenge2022 in the YouTube Search engine and see what everyone wish list is and if you have the seeds people are looking for comment on the video to arrange helping one another out by shipping a couple of seeds to them.

Last minute changes to our Chantecler Chickens. Today was a busy day as I was making bread, apple jelly and went out to take a few minutes to collect the eggs from the barn and water the chickens. What I didn't expect was I couldn't get into the Partridge Chantecler Chicken coop. The month of February has been a very interesting month weather wise. We have gotten -38 C days and -1C days, which means a lot of melting and freezing overnight. That is what happened we got a whole day of rain that froze that night, and also melted a lot of snow, preventing us from getting into the chicken coop. Our barn has never been an issue over the years but the coop is new to us this winter, using it to house our new Partridge Chantecler chickens. Join us as we prepare in just 2 hours a new home for our Chantecler chickens for the remaining of the winter.

Feeding your sourdough starter is so simple yet so rewarding. There is a bit of a commitment when using sourdough starter. I feed my sourdough starter daily with just a small amount of hard stone ground whole wheat flour and water. Keeping your sourdough starter in the refrigerator is a requirement too. Once your sourdough starter is healthy and well established you can make some of the most delicious bread. Sourdough starter provides your bread with natural digestive enzymes that provide your gut flora with healthy bacteria which makes digesting bread much easier on system. Sourdough starter also provides you with ready to go natural leavening at any moment for quick and easy bread making. If you enjoyed this video please check out my other videos on how to make naturally leavened bread and naturally leavened cinnamon raisin bread. I hope this will encourage you to try natural leavened bread of your own and you can see the difference!

Naturally leavened cinnamon raisin bread is so delicious and easy to make. This cinnamon raisin bread a great and healthier version than you can purchase in the store. What I love about naturally leavened cinnamon raisin bread is that as it ages it retains its moisture and keeps well without requiring refrigeration as opposed to regular homemade yeast bread that dries out, turns stale fairly quickly. Naturally leavened bread is also much healthier on the digestive system and elimination process due to the healthy bacteria that is a result of the fermentation process of the natural leavening starter. I hope this will encourage you to try natural leavened cinnamon raisin bread of your own and you can see the difference!
