- [Bryan] Go for the stickers, go for the stickers!
Aww, man, they keep the stickers right behind him
and he wants them.
Ahh, reluctantly.
♫ Wherever you are
♫ That's where I wanna be
♫ All it took was a laugh
♫ And that soft sunset
♫ Big blue eyes
♫ Looked up and said
♫ This is home
♫ Just pulling around
♫ You never looked so cute
♫ How can you talk
♫ Sayin
♫ I am home
♫ Home's wherever you're with me
- Good morning, guys!
- Papa too!
- Papa's here, what are we doing?
- Papa's in here.
- [Missy] Papa's in here?
- Yeah.
- [Missy] Can you see him?
(screaming)
- We are going to swim today.
We definitely are ready.
I think we missed last week's so I feel like
we've been missing a lot these last few weeks.
But, our pool's almost done so we will get a lot more
practice in once that's done.
Okay, are you gonna do good at swim?
- Yeah, but, I don't want-- Mimi!
- Oh my Gosh and now you saw Mimi.
- All right, hopefully he does good.
- [Mom] All right Ollie, are you excited?
- I see Pay Liv!
- [Mom] Oh my goodness, you see just Pay,
cause Liv's at school.
(laughing)
- [Missy] Are you gonna do good at swim?
- I need a hi from Pay.
- [Mom] You're gonna hide?
- [Ollie] Yeah.
- [Missy] She'll be so sad, she won't be able to find you.
- But, it will be so funny.
- [Missy] Okay, shh.
Pay, where's Ollie?
- [Woman] Have you seen him?
- There he is.
- [Missy] Yep, he's in there.
- [Mom] Found you, she found you.
- [Missy] He thought that was gonna be so funny.
(laughing) You better laugh really good.
- What up, guys?
So Missy is taking the boys to swim class.
And I wanted to show you guys how my bacon turned out.
If you guys watched yesterday's video,
you saw that I was throwing this in here overnight.
There's a spoon in there, that was to weigh it down.
But check this out, you guys.
Tender fully cooked bacon.
It's been in there for about 14 hours.
It's supposed to be some of the best bacon
you could ever make and then you just sear it on one side
and you throw it on what you were about it cook.
So I am going to make myself a BLT sandwich
'cause I've been craving one lately
and this sounds amazing.
(upbeat music)
- [Missy] Ollie, you did so good, huh?
- [Woman] You do your big arms?
- Yeah.
- [Woman] Wow.
- And now I have the world's greatest BLT sandwich.
I tried some of the bacon and holy cow,
it's so tender, it isn't stringy or crunchy.
You know how bacon gets stuck and then it doesn't tear.
This stuff's incredible so that was a good idea.
I'm gonna eat some lunch and wait for the kids to come home.
- [Missy] Are you ready to go swim?
Are you ready?
Like uhh, I'm not sure.
Yeah?
You wanna give it a ride.
(happy music)
- [Man] Go for the stickers, go for the stickers!
Aww man, they keep the stickers right behind him
and he wants them.
Ahh, reluctantly.
- All right, we just got done with swim
and we actually just ate too.
Swim went great, I do feel like they're kind of getting
a little stagnant, like they might be a little bored.
Ollie's been doing this for so long
that he almost is just like, I don't feel like he's moving
forward that quickly, so I am looking forward
to having our pool back so that we can really start
practicing and maybe doing a different type of class
to help them move forward but I don't know, we'll see.
Now we're actually going to go do something fun.
We've been touring a few different preschools
over the past few months.
We are pretty sure what we wanna do but I'm gonna go
to another one now that I was kinda interested in.
Bryan isn't gonna make it because he's got meetings today.
But if I do like it, he'll come back and look at it with me.
But yeah, I'm kinda getting excited, nervous,
it's so like hard thinking about sending him
off to school every day.
It makes me sad but I'm also excited for him
'cause I think he's gonna enjoy it.
Think it'll be really really interesting
and different change should be interesting.
But yeah, so we're gonna go tour one more
and then hopefully we can make a decision pretty soon here,
'cause it's basically registration time.
All right guys, it is time.
I've been doing this pretty cool method
with the chicken: deep litter method for the chicken.
So basically what it means is I don't have to clean
the chicken coop very often, I just have to re-fluff it
and stuff like that but once a year,
you're supposed to clean it out.
It's probably only been about six months,
but I'm kinda ready to clean it out.
But I wanted to show you guys my chickens,
'cause something cool is happening.
- Prepped all out there except--
- Of all of them?
Except Mrs. Groody?
- Okay, guys, so this is Pam and I've always called her
the motherly one and she has gone broody.
- [Bryan] So what does that mean exactly?
- She basically is gonna sit there until some eggs hatch.
She is ready to be a mom, she wants to have chicks.
- [Bryan] So how many eggs are under her right now?
- She's probably got at least three to four,
but I saw a few of them out there and laying next to her
and then she was just--
- [Bryan] What?
- Swooping them in her.
- [Bryan] The other ones were like joining in on it?
- Well they were just laying there cause they like
to lay their eggs there and she was just like,
"All right, that's another baby for me."
- [Bryan] But none of them are fertilized?
- None of them are fertile.
- None of our eggs are fertilized
because we don't have a rooster
so that's the main difference.
So she can sit on those eggs forever, nothing will happen.
- But, it also isn't good to have a broody chicken
if you don't want chicks, because they'll just sit there.
They kind of describe it as solitary confinement.
Basically she will sit there until chicks hatch.
And that's not good for a chicken.
It can be kind of depressing and hard on them.
- [Bryan] She needs to eat, she needs to poop,
she needs to get water.
- Yeah, we either have to stop her from being broody
or we give her fertile eggs and she can hatch them
and she can kinda take care of them.
It is a little bit of a process,
but I'm actually kinda down for the process.
I'm kind of excited that she's broody.
I've been waiting for this.
- For those of you who don't know what that means.
That means we go out, purchase fertilized eggs,
put them under her, they hatch and we have babies.
- Yep.
- Again.
Remember we did the whole baby this on this channel
like a year ago, it could possibly be happening again.
Well, what I want to do is make sure that she's not gonna,
like I don't get fertile eggs and then she just is like,
"Peace out, I don't wanna do this anymore."
So we're gonna give her a few days
to see if she's really gonna stay broody
'cause she's been doing this for like almost
24 hours straight so I'm definitely interested and then--
- [Bryan] Can I get close to her?
- [Missy] Yes, watch what she does.
- [Bryan] Aww, she's being sweet.
- Yesterday, she was like bahh!
Like get away from me, can I get some--
Oh!
(laughing)
- [Bryan] Oh, I see an egg!
- [Missy] Can I have an egg please?
- [Bryan] I would like to make
avocado toast and eggs, please.
(laughing)
Stole one.
- She really has so many.
I'm gonna leave her a couple to take care of.
But yeah, they lay up here and then she scoops
them up under her to keep warm.
- [Bryan] Yeah, that's nuts.
- That's the cutest doing--
- [Bryan] Oh my gosh, there's another one!
- I did do some research too.
Orpington's which is what she is,
do go broody frequently so--
- [Bryan] Yeah?
Well how many do you think she has under her.
- I don't know, like--
- [Bryan] She's like get you,
good thing you're wearing gloves.
Oh my gosh, there's so many.
(hen crying)
- Okay, you can just have these three, okay.
I don't wanna make you--
(laughing)
- [Bryan] Look how big she is keeping 'em warm.
- [Missy] Yes, she gets really poofy.
- [Bryan] Keeping 'em warm.
- Isn't that cute?
Anyways, I'm kinda down for just like a couple more.
They might not survive, that's the thing too.
You never know.
- What do you guys think?
Let us know in the comments.
Should we have more baby chicks, should we do this?
This is like a big commitment.
- So we let her become a momma?
- [Bryan] We could probably handle two or three more.
- Two or three is totally fine.
I wouldn't want it like I've seen people
put like 14 eggs under their chickens
and I'm like, okay, that's a little much.
So we'll have to see.
- [Bryan] Pretty interesting discovery.
- Pretty cool, huh?
She's like doing it, she's like a little momma right now.
She's like, "Don't touch my eggs, those are mine!"
(happy music)
- Missy had to move the chickens so that we could
clean out her area and now she has to put them back.
- Yes, so we just cleaned out the area, I put the eggs back.
Now I'm gonna set her down and watch what she does.
Give her a minute.
Aww, so cute.
Oh my gosh.
You're a good little momma, that's so cute.
Did you see that?
That was so cute, she tucked them all under her
so they're nice and safe and warm.
And she's checking to make sure there's no others around.
Make sure they're all in underneath her.
I won't move her for awhile now and let her be.
What do you think, that's pretty cool, huh?
- What was she, she was gonna pick some up
and carry them at one point.
- [Missy] She was like, "You need to come over here."
- [Man] But she's got a nice clean pen now.
- Yeah we cleaned all this out
and we're gonna lay some new bedding down for them
and they'll be fresh for the new chicks.
We'll see.
All right, all new fresh bedding.
We sweeped this thing clean.
There is no poop in here so we're gonna let the girls in
and see what they think.
There's Bree, Bree what do you think?
Angela, Susan, Hay-Hay, Kelly.
Oh, Pam's like, "Just stay away from me."
(laughing)
I'm taking care of babies.
Grouchy girl!
- She sounds like a dinosaur.
- [Missy] Yeah, she does.
- [Woman] Sounds like a raptor.
- [Missy] Meredith.
Yup, they're all happy.
See how we opened all the windows,
we got a good cross breeze in here so it doesn't get
too warm and Pam is just gonna sit there I guess
and wait for some babies.
I think it's time we get her some babies.
- Yeah, I think we need to give her
some kind of a prize for all of this work.
- Aww, I'm so happy.
But I will say if the other girls go broody,
I probably won't be able to do the same.
I can only have so many chickens.
I would love to just have like one so that I could,
in the springtime, do another one, and just kinda like
slowly let them have little babies.
But, I don't know what I'm gonna do exactly yet,
but I'm excited.
I think it'd be so cool, especially for the kids.
- Can't you just experiment and do like two,
like don't do a ton.
- I could do, I think I wanna do like three
and one or two might not survive.
But if all three survive, that's totally fine,
I can have three.
Look at her, she's still checking to make sure
there's no eggs.
And what happens is the girls go up there
and lay next to her and lay their eggs,
and then she just steals them
and tucks them under her.
She's getting backed up in that corner though.
- [Woman] All paranoid.
- [Missy] Yeah, she is!
She's always checking.
- Luna has been such a good puppy today, you guys.
She's just been hanging out out back,
playing with toys, cuddling me, kissing, playing fetch.
You're a good puppy, you know that?
The older she gets, the better dog she gets, for sure.
Hi, aww, see she's so lovey.
You're such a lovey dog, aren't ya?
(toy squeaks)
Oh, you want that?
Oh!
You jump like Karma did.
Karma's an old man now though so it's a little harder.
The boys are out here enjoying this fine weather
playing with toys.
What are you doing?
- I am zooming.
These are my gogots and this is how it works.
- [Bryan] Yeah, everything's a gun.
All right, we got something really cool
installed in our kitchen today.
As you can see, there's no ugly trashcan sitting there.
- It was not ugly!
- [Bryan] Okay, it wasn't ugly but it was just in the way.
- Yeah, it was a little in the way
'cause now that this is awash with the wall,
this was always sticking out kinda.
And we kinda planned with getting the fridge,
we wanted to switch out the trash compacter
'cause really it was not working very well.
It just would never--
- [Bryan] It would never open really.
- Would never like open and it was just kind of
an older thing--
- [Bryan] So now we have two drawers here,
it was just this one, so we have an extra drawer
for kitchen towels which is really nice.
And underneath, check this out, guys.
Trash!
- [Missy] Two trash bags which when you've got kids,
these things fill up fast.
That's kind of nice.
- And it's electronic so all you have to do is give
it a little nudge, it soft closes.
And then when you wanna open it, you have your hands full,
you go boop.
- And it literally opens it.
There's a machine and that literally pushes it all the way.
- Yeah, it's pretty neat.
I love what they have for kitchens these days.
And I know we weren't able to custom design our kitchen
but I feel like we're pretty dang close
to what we would have done, you know?
- I was really trying not to show Finn
and Finn was like watching that very intently.
- [Bryan] Oh jeez.
- I don't know if he knows.
- [Bryan] Yeah, I don't know if he's got
the strength to do it.
- Look at this, it's even scratched
because we were always trying to open it.
And now our flooring is like scratched up
because it doesn't open, it would just--
- The dumb trash compactor, it was like a hunk of junk.
It wouldn't even open, it would just get stuck.
- Yeah, it would just get stuck all the time.
- [Bryan] Can Finn do it?
- [Missy] Hopefully not, he's like--
- [Bryan] That one doesn't have a knob!
- It might take him a little bit longer.
- He does like to throw things away so.
- I know, he loved the--
- [Bryan] And this one isn't really one
that he can play in too much, let's see.
- See, stop showing him!
- He needs to learn, we need to teach Ollie.
All right, Ollie, let's see if you can do it.
- So this is our new trashcan.
Do you know how to get into it?
Hmm, how do you get into it?
(laughing)
Okay, watch momma.
Woah.
- [Bryan] Can you do that?
- [Missy] All right, now close it.
- [Bryan] There you go, good job!
- See, all you have to do is push it
and it'll open all the way for you.
Isn't that cool?
Be very careful when you close it.
You coulda hit your brother.
- [Bryan] There you go.
Give it a little push, Ollie.
There you go, they'll figure it out eventually I think.
