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.

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! ♥️

First timers here in SC. Before we got our first "chickie babies" we read read read all you were saying about chickens. Now 9 months later our "chickie babies" have laid steadily thru winter. We have 12 and get 9-11 eggs daily. Thank you. (And it's so fun)

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! :)

Your information is so helpful....I do have a small delimma. One of my hens lays an egg every morning before daylight it seems. She originally layed it in a nesting box, now it seems she is too lazy to go to the box and just lays the egg where she is roosting. It really isn't a huge thing to me, but should I do something about it? Thanks

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.

Your chickens should not even want to sleep in the nest box. Either your coop is over crowded, the number one mistake people make. Or your roost is not long enough, or something is stalking them at night and they get in the box to feel safe. You have to spend some time and figure it out and fix it. ☀️❤️☀️
