I need rest more than my dog does after long walks around the property. Early spring is a great time to announce our presence to predators, and also look for deer antler sheds (great hat racks). Take a picture ... Kota is never still for this long.

This is the hen we call "The Original Gangster". She survived a fox attack by stuffing the predator's mouth full of feathers and ducking behind an irate German Shepherd — who quickly made fox fur fly. Now "OG" is fearless. Watch her attitude when she starts abusing her bodyguards. Cheeky little egg-layer.

I feel fortunate to have such a healthy population of bees after a nasty winter. It's April the first, and some of the spring hopefuls are stretching their wings already. It's gonna bee a buzzy year. (argh. Just shoot me.). Come buy real honey, and the best eggs you've ever tasted if you're ever in Sunderland Ontario. Our honesty booth is always open. Villa Vida Loca Farm Market.

Yeah. So my German landscaper (or should I say land-scraper) loves to dig. His solution on a hot day is to make a nice dirt bed — nice and cool.

On patrol to make their presence known to all predators that might want to make a move on our chickens, bees, turkeys, or people. 2 Shepherds and a Cane Corso are pretty good insurance.

These tough little girls are still productive even on snowy, cold, Canadian mornings. I treat them with ramen when it gets like this. Their bodyguards are still on the job though. The local coyotes, hawks, and foxes are hungry too ... and they don't eat ramen.

Not exactly — My young turkeys are doing a good impression of Jurassic Park as they explore their environment.

Elvis tries to get some screen time during a lazy winter afternoon but is constantly thwarted by photo-bombing pussy cats and scene stealing glamor queens — until ...

These two dogs play outside all day on the farm keeping predators away. They're both smarter and stronger than I am, so I feed them really well. The Shepherd is Batman and the Cane Corso is Robin — best friends and a dynamic duo.

These 2 yahoos love running and eating — apologies for the video quality — my phone is 10 years old.

The goats are enjoying a sunny day in the sand. There's all the hay you can eat. Fresh grass and nachos are on the menu too.

There are a few local hawks and foxes that seem to be making themselves pretty scarce, and the hens have never been calmer.

My 2 turkeys fight like Curly and Moe — so I added some sound effects to make myself laugh. I hope you enjoy too. Note: They're actually brothers, and they scrap over who gets to bump feathers with the hens inside their shelter. No turkeys were harmed in the production of this video. The 3 Stooges is a producrion of Columbia Pictures Corporation MCMXLI (that's 1941).

My girls love it when the temperature goes above zero in the winter. Today is plus 3... perfect. Even the snow is melting. It'll be impossible to round them up for bed tonight though. But that's how we roll up here in Canada. It's also how you get the very best eggs. Happy chickens.

On a quiet winter day, my buddy and I walk through the fresh snow. I find this video very relaxing even though we walked all morning. My friend said the video is kind of like a virtual dog walk. And so it is.

It's crazy how fast a German Shepherd is when he's given the room. This handsome beast treats a gravel pit like it's a toy box. My advice to anyone wanting a GSD for their own — Cardio. Lots of cardio.

Our two year old bronze turkey and his mate are shown browsing in front of the chicken coop, when one of the dogs pulls up to say hello.

What fence? Fortunately, this is Sunderland Ontario, and the neighbours are awesome. Meanwhile, we get to stretch our legs out in the field.
