***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Those chickens always remind me of Phyllis Diller. She wore a hat that looked like the top of the chickens.

That is hysterical, because I have a Polish chicken that is named Phyllis! The other Polish is Penelope

I need to figure out how to grow a small pot of lettuce on my deck without the wild rabbits cleaning it out! Between the rabbits and the lack of good sunlight about all I’ve been able to grow is a small pot of parsley up on the bistro table. Maybe some lettuce right beside it would be happy.

When I ordered my chicks they put in a free chick and it was a Polish chick and of course it was a rooster. I could tell which chick was free as soon as I opened the box and saw the little yellow top hat on the chick. I was not planning on having a rooster but now I am glad. I warms my heart every morning when I hear him crow. My husband calls him a rock star because of his top hat feathers. So happy for you, you are going to love watching them.

Hi this is Mona 67 fixing to be 68 here this month in clintonville Wisconsin I grew up in Ohio I live most of my time in Texas and 6 and 1/2 years in Wisconsin just a little backstory to tell you why I'm about to say I'm about to say I love snow and to me that would be a blessed day not a yucky day even with the animals they can love the snow too and it's just beautiful p I know it isn't in some ways and I know it can be dangerous but soak in all weather Sunshine can be dangerous rain can be dangerous snow can be dangerous but it's beautiful as well as God blessing us with his purity and saying he loves us and that's the way I look at it anyway I know not everybody looks at the time I didn't say time I said not everybody looks at it the way I do I know I'm speaking into a mic on an Android phone it doesn't always put it the way I'm trying to say but what I'm saying is I know other people don't see it the way I do but I thought maybe I give you another perspective it is a blessing and I love it and I know that we haven't got much snow here this winter in Wisconsin we got one blizzard and it lasted likein clintonville and that was it and there was like two other times it snowed before that but they weren't that significant just ordinary snowfall and one dusting that started it all and that's all we've gotten all in the Ozarks you have snow here in Wisconsin we don't have any snow in clintonville Wisconsin and there's certain areas of Canada that hasn't had the Snow either but it was getting it in Vermont and Colorado I got a friend that was talking to me from Canada they ain't getting their snow this year either so weird things are happening and thanks for sharing God bless you and y e s h u s amen 🌹🌹🌹

We got 9.5 inches of snow on Tuesday. So after a couple of hours shoveling snow I got some flower seeds started. I started 2 types of lettuce and basil about 10 days ago and they are already up! Also started a few types of tomatoes, cucumbers and new to me cucamelons. My brain is already in spring mode.🙂

We were in the little area of about six counties that got 5 to 6 inches of snow even being above freezing it piled up but melted pretty fast on Tuesday. Amazing how just a few miles makes such a difference, I love to watch it snow and tell myself it is putting moisture into the ground. I am about 16 miles north West of Silver Dollar City, I have lived most of my life in this area haven't found any place I would rather be.

Happy Valentine's Day, Kevin and Sarah! Your snowstorm is headed our way and should arrive sometime this afternoon. I'm excited to see your new chicks! I wish we could have some silkies and Polish chickens. If we had purchased a home 1/2 mile further down the road when we retired, we'd be outside the city limits and I could have more chickens. But we do the best with the acre that we have. FYI, we built a hoop coop for our quail modeled after yours, and ours have done just fine in the NE WI winter. We did add a couple small "shrubberies" for them, which they love. However, that's where they lay the eggs now, so I have to disturb them each time I gather the eggs. I suppose you must have to do the same.

I never understood why. They were free range.
