I love the way you have the boy's involved with the animal's & your project's. Not only are you teaching them farm animal husbandry & instilling a great work ethic but your also teaching them great trades they can use when they become adults. You are great parent's that your viewer's & their children can learn from.
Everything is just so awesome! Your joy is contagious and your family is so cute. Those hard working boys are going to turn into amazing hard working men; especially with the two of you guiding them as you are. Such wonderful things to come...can't wait to see them with the new baby
Man I really love you guys - I hang out for your post every week. I just pray that God continues to bless you all. It is such a blessing to see a family that lives like a family. So thank you so much for letting us go on the journey with you.
Boy gotta love those men out there with tool in their hands. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼. Blast from my childhood 👍🏼👍🏼😅. Chickens, ducks, pigs, turkeys,and kids. Perfect idea of home life👍🏼👍🏼.
Such a great idea for a home for the baby chicks....they are so darn cute and the ducks are adorable!! You guys have come so far on your homestead journey....just a little at a time will do it😘😘😘!!
When I was younger I had a duck that I would walk on a leash around the neighborhood. She was a good lawyer too. Love and hugs from the little old lady in New Mexico USA. May God bless you and your family
Ben is a lucky man it doesnt take much to make Meg happy some old containers for the chickens and new fences for the little oinkies. you are a great example of what the world should be striving toward, thanks and keep spreading your sunshine
I just want to thank you for your channel and videos. I suffer from severe depression and the past year or 2 have almost done me in. I would sit and binge watch 3-5+ hours of your videos and feel better, like I might be able to do that. I've always wanted land and a homesteading farm like what you guys are doing. I look forward to your videos, you make me feel like you're long lost friends saying hi. Lol Thank you again.
I am a blue egg lover. I need to get some Whiting True Blues to go with my Prairie Blue Bells and My olive egg layers and my Well Summers. I am glad to finally catch the whole video. Yesterday I started watching it and it crashed. I got up to it today. Sweet baby chicks. You could try using the fed feeder with water for the ducks, they can't get in it and the openings keep them from swishing their beaks sideways. It will keep things a bit drier. Also, Mike Dickson has an old vlog showing how to make a duck water with wire in front of a bucket that keeps things dry with older ducks. Loving it my Beautiful people!!! Here is a random hug for you Meg!!!💕💞
We here in Pa..saw Ben's testimony also...and have a Son...it touched and I'm.feel.helped so much and I know I'm.sure many others ya may never know.....Your example is a true blessing ...God bless..
Cornish Cross have always worked well for me. Watch letting them go past 12 weeks. They are bred to put on meat fast and their legs can break. Good to see all those chicks! I always separated my ducks and geese. They will love a kitty pool when they are feathered out! Enjoy your spring projects. Cold and rainy in New Hampshire. We have 8 calves and about 14 more to go...unless there are more twins. Two sets so far :-)
Oh my goodness!! The cuteness overload. Love it!! You guys are my favorite. Thanks for all you do!! I started watching just as you found your homestead and it's killin me not to skip ahead lol. I want to see everything as it happened. Thank you Hollar's!!
WOW! And we thought we had a lot of baby chicks and we have just started with 12!!!! Couldn't imagine 100 at one time lol that's a whole lot of chirpin' goin' on lol. We watch you guys all the time and really started watching you guys when you found your current homestead! You are both truly inspiring and we ourselves just purchased our own homestead and are literally having to build it from the ground up from scratch, hence the baby chicks lol. we are documenting our entire experience also and are super excited to pass on the knowledge that we learn from all of our fellow homesteaders! Awesome videos guys - very informative and entertaining!
Wow Ben n Meg Everything has gotten green and growing I love your ideal for colorful chickens Very nice fence Wished you came on every week I miss your recipes and seeing what you guys are cooking
Awesome Chicks! Just thought I'd mention that Corbin's chest buckle on his car seat in the beginning of the video is down by his stomach, which won't protect him in a car wreck. Love your family, homestead and vlogs!
Wow. Babies babies everywhere...and coming. I cant wait to see the turkeys..hope you film those too. Your place sure is coming along pretty good...and fast. Awesome homesteading yaw and the kiddos too.
Nothing better than homesteading for the entire family. We are doing the same here in Wisconsin. Loving on our baby chicks...not so much the meat birds as they go to freezer camp. Thanks for the great video. Love seeing the boys working on the home and garden. Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen
it's good to see you up and happy another baby hasn't come yet and I'm excited for all of you to have a new member of the family coming it's also good to see how you are moving right along on your mobile home I wish the very best for you all love you guys have a wonderful and blessed day
We love your videos! Can't scroll through all 285 comments, but wanted to mention the chest clip on your son's car seat needs to be at arm pit height amd the straps tightened and straightened. Good luck with the chicks! We are getting some this week and choose them for a variety of egg colors, too. :)
I have 4 groups of chickens. Babies 2 wks old or less. Toddlers 2 mos old. Preteens 4 mons old and my adult hens. Im rotating brooders chicken tractors and coop😄 its a job really.
Ducks are so much fun. A friend had a Pekin duck with at least 12 ducklings in a nest in the barn. The resident rooster kicked several of them out of the way to get to the feed. Mama duck stretched her head out flattened her body level and took after him like a freight train hissing the entire time. She chased him around the barn outside and around the barn around the yard and almost got him before he flew over a fence to hide in the chicken coop. He was squawking like crazy and lost 4 tail feathers. I was laughing so hard that I fell off the pick nick table. I hope you have such good memories with your ducks. LOL!!
This is a wonderful endeavor for all of you! I remember my days on the farm with baby chicks! I also remember the day they were “put away” for meals to come! That’s the way it goes!
Wow...that is a lot of birds. Blessings to y'all. The boys are really working hard too to make this homestead a successful endeavor, that is so good to see. If you get more duck you might be able to dam up a little pond for them down at that stream with a fence around it to protect them. Thanks for this up date and Meg you are looking very well. Have a Blessed day.
Dutch, at 'Keeping It Dutch' is raising white jumbos, and those things are eating everything and growing like weeds! Grate idea on the tote brooders, Meg! And Ben is gonna have quite a trailer building crew by the time it's finished! 👍🏻✌🏻
Great idea for quick brooders! Beautiful roses. Are you rebreeding your sow? Selling extra piglets or growing them out? Can't wait for the rest of the babies to arrive. I think baby ducks are the cutest bcuz they are so ackward. You're looking great Meg, hope you feel as well too. Ben the progress in the single wide is moving along great. And the boys are all grown so much over the winter. Love seeing you all, just wish it was more often. But I know you are very busy.
Great Idea on the ICB tote. We did the same with our baby frizzle silkies, it worked out great. Super easy to clean and lots of room for them to grow. We love your channel and enjoy watching your journey. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on the Layers, Eaters and the really cool new Pig Fence. Those Tubs worked out great. They are big enough, keep mess to a minimum. Neat can't wait to see New Layers when older. Should be a great addition to the flock. The Pigs were so happy to be moved. They are growing nicely. Great to see all. Stay Safe God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏❣️
I bought from McMurray Hatchery for the first time this year and my birds are 2 weeks old and I have no complaints! The price of their birds are a little more but you get what you pay for. I bought 15 and I have 16 due to the free/bonus bird. Y’all stay safe up there and great video!!
Meg, what a great idea, it was perfect for the chicks! I so look forward to your videos, they are always informative, interesting and Loving. By the way I love that rose bush i got a glimpse of in the video! 🥰😍
When I had chickens I loved my Americanas. Always had great luck with Murray McMurray too. The MEAT birds are like dinosaurs! They actually got TOO Big. Yea, "freezer camp" was a blessing. They are nothing like the egglayers.
As an older mom, age 71 with five grown children, it is fun watching you train your boys as God would like. God bless y’all and stay safe and healthy!
Yes the chicks and ducklings are very cute!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You guys are so encouraging. Glad to hear that all the birds made it to your farm.
OMG TAKE ME HOME. I am 70 and remember doing all these things with my parents as children. So wonderful to see young people really work and have fun.
So many special memories for you. That is wonderful. GOD BLESS YOU.
It's never too late. :) We are older retires doing what they are doing with chickens, goats, and soon geese. :)
They do work hard! Gratifying to see :) tehbstepkids would rather be in Tiktok :(

Your children are such great helpers! We've hatched 40 chicks so far. We are upping our game this year.

We love letting Momma hen raise chicks! So fun watching her teach them!
Film some of the stormy weather if you can. I would love to see it. Thank you for sharing your family life with all of us. Much love to yo all.
Nice job, guys. Nice job. It brings back memories of when I was growing up on the farm, but now I live in the city. Nice memories!

Good job Holler family. Would love 2 or 3 more vids a week, but I know it's a lot of work.
I love that. "Every now and then, a blind squirrel finds a nut."
I also like to say "Even a broken clock is right twice a day!"
Unless one of the hands has fallen off 😄
Funny-thats exactly what we are using right now!! works really well and so easy to clean out!
Awesome! That's a lot of chickens. Great video, have a great week.
Awesome to see you guys are really becoming farmers!!! Sounds quite exciting!
Congratulations on the Layers, Eaters and the really cool new Pig Fence. Those Tubs worked out great. They are big enough, keep mess to a minimum. Neat can't wait to see New Layers when older. Should be a great addition to the flock. The Pigs were so happy to be moved. They are growing nicely. Great to see all. Stay Safe God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏❣️
Its nice seeing your boys help you they seem like great kids. Good upbringing. CONGRATS
I cannot wait to get chickens again! We just started our channel to document our move from WA to TX and starting a farm!
I bought from McMurray Hatchery for the first time this year and my birds are 2 weeks old and I have no complaints! The price of their birds are a little more but you get what you pay for. I bought 15 and I have 16 due to the free/bonus bird. Y’all stay safe up there and great video!!

Excited for all the great things happening on your homestead....you have come a long ways and it's showing....God bless you all...
