Farm Vlog – Puppy Visits, Calico Kittens & Floor Eggs?!

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! Today’s farm vlog is a slower-paced look at life on the homestead—family visits, playful puppies, and a calico kitten who’s finally warming up to us. My mom and older sister stopped by for a visit, and my sister got to meet Tequila’s adorable Great Pyrenees puppies before they start heading off to their forever homes. It was a special moment—eight fluffy farm guardians all together for the last time.

Meanwhile, Rowan bonded with Autumn, the shy calico kitten who’s been living under our deck. With a little fishy bribe, he may have officially won her heart! We also talk about how Autumn might be stepping into the role long held by our wise old cat, Magic—not replacing him, but slowly learning his ways and easing into her place in the heart of the homestead.

And of course, the chickens added some chaos—young layers are starting to produce eggs in the weirdest places. Today’s find? An egg right in the middle of the barn floor.

If you love homestead life, Great Pyrenees puppies, cats, and chickens doing ridiculous things, you’ll enjoy this relaxing look at a day on the farm.

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!

Farm Vlog – Puppies at 6 Weeks, No Kittens Left, and I’m Melting

It’s brutally hot, the mosquitoes are out for blood, and I made the shortest farm vlog I’ve ever filmed—because honestly, I just couldn’t anymore. Welcome back to Andersen Acres, where even when nature tries to chase us back inside, the animals still need us and the camera still rolls. In this quick check-in, we give you a six-week update on our Great Pyrenees puppies—who are doing amazing, barely need their mama now, and are absolutely thriving in the sunshine. They’ll be heading off to their new homes in just ten days!

We also talk about our now kitten-free barn, since all of our little fluffballs have officially gone to new families. And Twig the bunny? He’s likely packing his bags for a new adventure by Friday. If you’re into realistic farm life, where not every video is long and polished and bug-free, this one’s for you. Come sweat with us.

Whether you’re a homesteader, an animal lover, or just someone who enjoys a peek into farm life, this bite-sized vlog is still packed with updates.

Farm Vlog – Heatwave Hustle and Puppy Socializing on the Homestead

When the summer heat hits hard, we adapt fast here at Andersen Acres! In this week’s farm vlog, we’re sharing how we handled an intense heatwave while still caring for all the animals on our hobby farm. From topping off clean, cool water to checking shade spots, our top priority was keeping everyone safe and comfortable—including us!

We also brought the Great Pyrenees puppies out for some gentle animal socialization. Getting them used to our goats, ducks, chickens, and mini horses is an important step in their development as future livestock guardian dogs. Even in the heat, those little fluffballs made us smile.

Whether you're raising animals, dreaming of homesteading, or just love a peek into daily farm life, this video gives a real look at what it’s like to balance animal care and summer survival. No big projects this time—just doing what it takes to get through a scorcher on the farm.
