Anyone else not like The White House on The Hill?

They're jersey cows, I'm pretty sure. That's how much they're bred to produce. Just like how some goats produce gallons of milk a day

True, but they could still be feeding her a little better, and not making her body produce that much milk

I was subscribed to the YouTube channel The White House on The Hill for the past 4 or 5 months or so, but in the past 2ish months, some of their treatment of their animals has made me uncomfortable. Sure, they have a cool mobile main chicken coop, rare, pretty birds and cute kids, but they also refuse to acknowledge feedback and concern from their viewers, such as myself. They allow their kids to chase and harrass the chickens and baby birds, yell and scream when the birds do something they see as funny, terrifying them, and more. The worst thing so far is their treatment of the emus. First things first, they have 2 females and one male! Seeing as females emus are the dominant gender in emu behavior, this is essentially like putting 2 roosters with a single hen. Female emus will fight to the death over a male, as roosters will. We saw this in one on the past videos, where they found a massive gash on the chest of one of the females. They wrote it off as a dog attack, when an trio of emus could and would kill an attacking dog before it escaped the enclosure. No. This was dominance aggression. It will only escalate is things don't change fast. Hundreds of folks in the comments said this too, over and over, but did they address the responses in the next vlog? NO. They continued to blame it on a dog/coyote attack and have refused to talk about the incident again. Infact, on one of their stories, I expressed my concerns in a respectful but meaningful comment wich quickly took the place as the top comment on the story, and yet...nothing. Not a peep from them. And in the very next video, they installed a 'pool' for them. With a very slippery bottom wich caused poor bamboo to slip and fall. The family then proceeded to laugh and scream at him, startling him and making flail in an effort to get up. He could easily have injured himself in this incident, with the combined slippery bottom and panic. After this video, I finally unsubscribed.

Bottom line is, I no longer support this YouTube channel, and I was wondering wether anyone else feels similarly. Thank you for reading my little rant

I want to agree, but bamboo slipped because he wasn't used to the surface. and also, yes, dog/coyote attacked one of the females. although yes I still agree with most of this information, I still like their live stream and will still watch it because I think it was nice that they took 5 years to make the aivary all for the ducks, peafowl, and pheasants (also koi+goldfish). even the way they treat their chickens isn't the best, but plz no hate comments about them. there r a lot worse channels than them.

I have no idea why this here, but I didn't like them.

Youtubers who prominently feature kids are ones that I generally strongly dislike.

And they didn't seem to really be super careful with some of their animals, like their homing pigeons.
