Farm Vlog – Surprise Chicks, Grumpy Rabbits, and Wildfire Smoke

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In today’s farm vlog, we’re juggling chaos and calm as the unexpected happens—again. We discovered baby chicks running loose in the barnyard, and here’s the twist: our ducks hatched them. That’s right—some sneaky ducks decided to brood chicken eggs, and now we’ve got surprise chicks who think they’re ducklings. We scooped up as many as we could and moved them safely into the brooder.

But that’s not all—our solid blue Rex rabbit, Smeagol, gave birth this morning! She had four adorable babies, though she’s not too thrilled with me about it. She keeps boxing me, so Rowan’s taken over most of the bunny care duties. Smeagol’s got attitude, but we love her anyway.

Meanwhile, the wildfire smoke continues to blanket the farm, making the air thick and the sky hazy. We’re safe for now, but it’s a reminder of how unpredictable homestead life can be.

If you love animals, hobby farming, or just want a peek into our unpredictable day-to-day life, don’t miss this one!
