Nothing better than waking up to Becky on a Sunday Morning. I’m in love.

[@PikeyScott]

True story: I just picked up my new chicks for the spring. Named one of them Becky. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

Becky, you are such an inspiration. I have been homesteading for over 20 years, but, I learn something new each time I was you. Keep up the hard work.

[@cindystevenson9669]

Yep overlooked the calcium...thought there was enough in her pellets and seeds. We almost lost "Chicklett "last week to being bunged up. She is back to herself thankfully !

[@yenemoke5158]

Thanks very much for your advice I'm interested

Sunday morning coffee and a chat from Becky. Thank you. Here at Pine Meadows Hobby Farm we call those things Butt Nuggets.

[@rubiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Thanks for the tips Becky. This was very helpful and will keep them in mind for my chickens since I only have one chicken laying at the moment. ❤️

Your soap making videos are the best of all that I have watched! I made soap with lye that I dripped from ashes when I lived in Northern Canada 40 years ago. My soap has always had iffy results (not always solidifying). Didn’t”t know different oils had different saponification values . I just mixed lye and fat of some kind and hoped for the best. I made several batches of soap using your recipe with coconut oil and olive oil for family and colleagues at school this year and got rave reviews and requests for more. Thank you so much . Your videos are great! I built my own two story log house in Canada in 1972 after I graduated from college. I bought 80 acres with tip money from waitressing during college. I felled the trees and peeled them all. Then dragged them to spot I was going to build by hand with one other person and some with my Volkswagen pick-up. Held two together with log dogs and ran a chainsaw between them to flatten the sides so they would fit together better. Used moss I gathered from the forest to insulate between them. I also built a bermed house was from cement block in Washington with just my two small children (5 and 6) . Had the house I live in now built on acreage. Am now starting the 4th homestead and plan on doing most of the work myself. That 5 year old is now 41 and she and I will be building her house and my house with help from some other family members (including her 5 and 7 year old ) .Again thank you for your wonderful uplifting can do videos !

I have been watching your videos since you were living in a tent. It has taken us a long time but we finally have our land and are living in a camper while we build. You have been a big inspiration in making that happen. Thank you! I was wondering if you feed any laying pellets to your chickens?

[@asaldanapr]

Thanks for all the great info. I can’t have chickens where I live, but I dream of a day when we will be allowed and have my mini coop and at least three or four Buff Orpingtons, which I find so pretty.

Great video

[@71160000]

Years ago I was down at the hardware store and they had a pallet of wild bird seed that was near the expiration date and they marked it down to 25cents a bag(twenty pound bags) I bought most of the pallet and took it home. I had two dozen production reds and was getting around a dozen eggs a day. I started putting out one bag of wild bird seed in the feeder each day and almost immediately I was getting 23 or 24 eggs a day every day until after I had used up all the wild bird seed.

I am very happy to see your videos. I learned a lot from VDOs. Though I do not have many hens but total 6 in nos. Can you pls advise what is the substitute of Oyster shell. I am afraid we do not have 1. Oyster Shell and 2. Diatomaceous Earth. Is there any alternate of 2. Diatomaceous Earth. Thank you very much Regards

I am an Indian🇮🇳... Your videos are awsome cuz I have 4 chickens and i luv them more! Love from India

[@scottt8424]

Hey Becky thank you for the video I enjoyed it and I thought chickens lay one egg a day now watching your video now I know they really don't

[@BeckysHomestead]

No, they will for two or three days then skip a day or two and keep going like that☀️❤️☀️

[@kaoline4172]

Hi Becky, Loved this video. I gave cast kibble (Whiskas) to my chicken. One day only and they had an ugly diarrhea problem. Was it the cat food? How do I treat them?

[@risingsun49]

Redken has amazing hair toners out called Shades EQ they neutralize oranges reds and give amazing blonde or ashy browns . If you are looking to do that. Going blonde form brunette is tricky.

[@ericjohnson6784]

What brand of kibble do you recommend. Thank you so much.

[@georged.steinbrecher1773]

Hi Becky, I got some chickens a few years ago from a guy that raised them on high protein dog food, these chickens looked like young turkeys, they could hardly walk because of there size, Anyway, these chickens were laying very large eggs, with triple yokes, yep, TRIPLE yokes,

[@alexpetrovics8484]

Does the seasons affect egg laying? I.e. winter?

[@stephaniezeh1074]

So do you still offer like a food bin? Or just those items scattered around?

[@marieleopold1625]

ALWAYS was wundrin' bout that! = chicken egg count. Thank-you for the info Dear Becky! Scott gave us SUCH a beautiful 'up close' look at the 'chicky-babes' you can see how healthy they look...EVEN... nice clean and poofy feathered rumps! You DO have this down to a SCIENCE my dear! Sharing your lifestyle and 'joy' with us is a BIG plus! God Bless you, Scott and family! Miss hearin' 'Doodles' kick for attention...soOOoo cute! xo (I wonder if you get many 'double yolks'? Perhaps I'll catch a vid with this silly question of mine answered one day).

[@BeckysHomestead]

Yes I get double yokes sometimes and once even got a tripple yoke!!! ☀️❤️☀️

Do you feed the rooster the sam thing as the hens? If not what would recommend?

[@milimiller6513]

Becky, please help me. Should I feed my chickens all these plus the food that I get from the store? Or are these 3 suggestions to be used as a replacement of the chicken food you can buy at stores like IFA, etc.??

[@snowballstrikethebudgies9698]

Can I use crushed eggshells for their calcium?

[@mr2000no-clue]

Hi

[@WildOnesHomestead]

Good tips! I do all of that and most of my girls average about 2 eggs every three days. The younger ones for sure lay every day

[@BeckysHomestead]

Ya, those young ones lay well. The trick is to keep them going☀️❤️☀️

[@honolulupolkadot6668]

wow Becky, You look great. How do you do it?

[@annwatkins941]

Becky! We are doing it! We’re in our 60’s, and as of almost three weeks ago, we’ve taken the plunge with 8 hens; 2 barred rock, 2 golden comet, and 4 australorps. We bought them as adults and they average around five-six years old. We’ve been feeding your whole food recipe from day one. They were being fed more of a commercial, standard type feed with pellets, etc previously. We’re also adding in protein in the mornings. Question: they are not eating the black oil sunflower seeds nor are they eating the whole corn. Do you think it’s possible they are too set in their ways to begin on a new feed at this stage in the game? We don’t want to give up on this too soon, but we also want to be mindful that they need to be getting enough nutrition. They are also free ranging in a very large paddock, and getting plenty of opportunity for insects, bugs, worms, etc. We’d sure appreciate hearing back from you, but realize you can’t answer everyone’s questions. Thanks much for all you do! By the way, one of our Australorps is named for you; “Miss Becky.” 🥰

[@azaleaacres]

I crush and feed the egg shells back to my girls. Layer pellets, black oil sunflower seeds, scratch and greens ( I walk around the yard and pulls weeds... the girls love a ‘weed salad’ a few times a week. They get kitchen scraps too. When I roast something with bones , they get to pick the bones clean ( be sure to clean up so they don’t attract predators)
