  1. Remove the entire video and add more to the ending blooper and you have my
    reality. I spend endless time messing up words. 🙂

    ps: Gotta get some footage of the ducks hatching and taking first steps
    Blake. That will be pretty cool to see.

  2. Thanks everyone! I am so surprised to win! 🙂 Thanks to Espen, Blake and
    the Kirby family. When thinking of the name i thought golden son like the
    one who will carry on the bee keeping to success. As it was passed down the
    line from father to son. and the fact that honey is golden. so it is a dual
    meaning but not about hair color. 🙂 I will sure enjoy planting in the
    prizes! Thank you!

  15. Congratulations to Chris! Espen I’m so excited to watch your progress on
    bee keeping. Candling is fun, especially when there’s life growing inside
    the egg. This is the high intensity candler I have. It’s nice for seeing
    inside dark or speckled eggs. Wishing your daughter an excellent hatch.

  18. ive always wanted chickens but i have always live in area where they freak
    out if you have them even in you back yard and just hens. if the city or
    homeowners association finds out they make you get rid of them. maybe some
    day =/

  22. If you said it already, I apologize. I was wondering where you got your
    eggs from? I talked Clay into chickens! We start on the coop this weekend.
    I cant decide whether or not to buy 1 day olds or hatch our own. I think
    the hatching looks like a lot of fun- and the kids would love it. Ps- love
    the bloopers! I tried making a video yesterday and got interrupted so many
    times I scrapped it HAHA!
