    Becky, you’re amazing. Thanks for all your help and your book. I just mixed up another big barrel of chicken food. My 10 chickens love it. I finally found the oats in the horse area of TSC. No judging. 😆 I’m getting double yolks and my family sent me pictures when they got their first dozen eggs. I can’t tell you enough what a blessing my girls have been to me. They love me and follow me everywhere. I was thrilled when l got my first 10 eggs. By the way you look great! Have a blessed day.

      @@BeckysHomestead I think I’ve watched all of your videos but I don’t remember seeing one that fits the “sweetie/feisty” category so if u have one please share the title or make a video titled “sweet & salty”! I have 13 chickens & bought the ones you suggested. I’ve learned a lot about chicken behavior & it can be heartbreaking to see your sweet chickens being bullied by a chicken that u love the most lol! My favorite is the smallest of the bunch & she has 2 or 3 chickens that she’s mean to & it hurts me to have to poke or scold her lol bc I love her so much! But it’s true, they can be little tyrants & guard the food & water :(

    Hey Becky! So happy to see things progressing on your new homestead. That is so awesome!
    I was wondering if you could do a video all about Neil and what kind of pig he is, how big was he when you got him, what you feed him, the care involved, whether he would do well with other pigs of his kind, and if his breed can be used to clear areas like the area off the horse pasture that you showed and said, needed to be cleared.
    I know that there are homesteaders that are using pigs to clear thick areas of brush and weeds etc, in their wooded areas, to create silvopasture.
    Anyway, thank you so much for always sharing your wonderful best life with us! It is an inspiration! ♥️

    Hello back 'beautiful Becky'! SUCH a practical demo vid of 'paradise' coop. U can C that the chickens are without stress and loving all the options U have given them from this layout = perfect! Don't U luv having all the 'good' input to your channel that keeps you 'tweeking' in a better, better, best direction? I would only suggest one thing for your lovely home...shutters. The REAL kind that U can close from the outside when a storm comes through. It becomes one less major thing U have 2 worry about if (God forbid) a nasty comes ripping through. Knowing U...it would make your home more practical and pop, pop, POP! Thanks 4 sharing your time/talents with us...health and God Bless! :)

      Lots of people have great ideas. Anyone that thinks they know it all are boring people. In fact I think shutters would be great for the inside of my cabin to block out the hot sun in the summer instead of curtains. Although curtains are much cheaper because I make them.☀️❤️☀️

    Becky, I know this might be off subject but I just wanted and loved your Homemade liquid laundry detergent recipe video you made about 7 yrs ago and was wondering if you still use the laundry soap u made. Or if u have switched it up with something else, if u have any kind of excess detergent film on your clothes over the years. I had watched a couple of vids on social media saying in time homemade laundry detergent makes film on clothes and destroyed them or have to strip them using store bought soap. But it could be ppl saying this without trying it to get ppl from making there own. What's your thought or suggestions please.

    Why not pine shavings? Also, I've read corn is not good during the hottest months of the year because it will raise the chickens body temps even more. Thoughts?

      Sand is the best flooring period. Wood chips break down, hold moisture and are nasty very quickly.
      Chickens can’t take a dust bath in wood chips☀️❤️☀️

    Hi 🙂 I took your advice on feeding my chickens black oil sunflower seeds, oats and corn. I was wondering do you still feed your chickens the same diet or is there anything new?

      All that and a little meat every day

    Hi Becky, I have done everything you advise and I only have 2 chickens laying eggs and not even every day. I bought my chickens in April and I have 7. Mid October 2 started laying eggs and last week I got 3 eggs. I’m in Utah. It’s very cold here. Can you please help me to get them laying eggs?🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Great ideas!! Thank you so much!
    How do you keep the grass going in that area?
    Do you move the coop and run occasionally?
