Farm Vlog - Pizza Night, Early Hatchlings, and Puppies on Wobbly Legs!

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In today’s farm vlog, we’ve got a little bit of everything—because life on a hobby farm is never boring. Thursday means pizza night here on the homestead, and we’re firing up the kitchen for a delicious homemade meal. But while the dough rises, the rest of the farm is full of surprises.

Our chicks started hatching a day early in the incubator—always exciting when baby animals decide to make their debut ahead of schedule! Meanwhile, Tequila’s puppies are 8 days old and already trying to stand up—wobbly legs and all. These little livestock guardian dog pups are stealing the spotlight with their cuteness.

In the garden, it’s transplanting day! I moved my cucumbers, broccoli, and cauliflower into their new homes, and I’m hoping they take well to the change. The barn kittens are extra playful (and maybe a little wild) today, keeping me on my toes while I try to get things done.

Farm Vlog – Smokey Skies, Duckling Drama, and Saying Goodbye to Chicks

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! Today’s farm vlog takes you along for a smoky but productive day on the homestead. With wildfires in the region, the air was hazy—but that didn’t stop farm life from rolling on. We had an unexpected duckling emergency when one tiny baby got stuck between the barn wall and the wire. Watch as Tristan jumps into action with a pair of wire cutters to rescue the little fluffball!

We also spent some time in the garden, transplanting tomato plants and getting our herb bed ready for future culinary adventures. Whether you’re into homegrown food, kitchen gardening, or herb farming, you’ll love seeing the setup take shape. Plus, it was bittersweet as we said goodbye to ten adorable chicks who went off to their new home with a happy customer.

From poultry hatching surprises to garden prep and small animal care, this video is packed with hobby farming moments you won’t want to miss.

Farm Vlog – Predator Problems, Chicks for Sale, Baby Bunnies, and Homemade Butter

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! Today was a beautiful day on the farm—clear skies, perfect temps, and no smoke in the air. But even perfect days come with farm drama! A stout (weasel) made its way into the yard, and our incredible livestock guardian dog, Vodka, took care of the situation. That led to a conversation about predator-proofing your hobby farm and protecting vulnerable animals like chicks, rabbits, and ducklings.

We also spent time deciding which of our chicks are ready to sell and snapped updated photos of the baby bunnies who are now available for new homes. The kittens are growing fast and nearly ready to go, and Tequila’s adorable puppies are now 6 days old!

In the kitchen, we churned fresh homemade butter and baked a batch of warm, fluffy bread. Over in the barn, we cleaned out the hatcher to prepare for lock-down on a new set of fertile hatching eggs.

Whether you’re here for the animals, the food, or the real-life farm moments, we’re glad you stopped by. Like, comment, and subscribe to follow more daily adventures!
