How did we outsmart the raccoon?

On our homestead, a farmer recently made some truly strange finds: unusual chicken eggs in a carton. This video captures the mystery as we investigate the chicken coop, surprised by these backyard chickens. It's all part of the unpredictable farm life!

Join us at Grumbles Homestead as we deal with a raccoon invasion on our farm, where this clever pest has been raiding our barn and threatening the security of our chicken coop. We're on a mission to catch him using a live trap raccoon setup before he strikes again, and we're sharing our experience with barn pest control and how to protect chickens from raccoons. From setting up the raccoon trap to releasing the raccoon humanely, we're taking you through our daily farm chores and the chaos that comes with farm life, especially during the summer heat when chicken care is crucial. We're also sharing tips on how to get rid of raccoons in your yard and more about how to keep them away from your backyard chickens. With fermented grain chickens to care for, we can't let this raccoon invasion continue, so we're doing everything we can to catch him and restore peace to our farm. Tune in for funny farm stories and moments of farm chaos as we navigate the challenges of raccoon invasion and work towards a solution to keep our farm and chickens safe.

We've got a real mystery on our hands here at the farm! I found some strange finds in the eggs cartons, and I'm trying to figure out where they came from, maybe the chickens know something. Get ready for some weird facts and a bit of sleuthing around the chicken coop

Welcome to Grumbles Homestead! Life on a cold-climate micro farm means constantly maintaining things like fences, coops, and tractor equipment, but it also means dedicating ourselves to our livestock. From daily chicken care and winterizing coops, to managing our horses and ensuring everyone has fresh water and warm bedding, raising healthy animals is at the heart of what we do.
Small repairs and daily farm chores are a normal part of everyday homestead life. Learning how to handle these troubleshooting moments—whether it's fixing horse-damaged fencing or dealing with extreme winter weather—is all part of becoming more self-sufficient.
