Hangin’ Out with Chickens and Kids - a film by Jimmothy

Описание: Hello! It's a beautiful, sunny Day 65 of 180 days of #winterchickenkeeping. We have finally dug ourselves out from the storm, and the boys and I are headed out to get the daily chores done.

Today's video was filmed by my son Ben (AKA Jimmothy McWalmartson), who captured some beautiful shots of the snowy landscape. From feeding the chickens to battling the ice, join us for a quick look at winter life on the homestead.

Today’s Task List:

✅ [00:07] So much snow blowing has happened! (Let’s appreciate Thomas’ hard work!)

✅ [00:35] Checking on the Earthship – it’s a cozy 20 degrees warmer inside!

✅ [01:12] Today’s chicken treats: Eggs (with shells), squash, and tallow

✅ [01:56] Cinematography Lesson: 3 Different Shot - Wide/Medium/Close

✅ [03:10] Changing the water (and a mini "tantrum" with the ice)

✅ [03:23] Filling the feeders

✅ [04:08] Testing the new ice scraper to turn the bedding—is it any good?

✅ [04:42] Taking out the compost

✅ [04:51] Collecting some nasty, cracked eggs

✅ [05:39] Making sure our new rooster knows his place

Join the Journey! ❄️🐔 Can we keep our chickens alive off-grid, off-site in Northern Ontario, where temperatures hit -40? If you want to see if we (and the chickens!) make it to spring, please Subscribe .
