Stevie getting more comfortable for the camera. Cutest couple EVER!

[@Chilerellanos-nf6en]

100% agree

[@jenniferpoffenroth9926]

I love that he helps out and cares about her projects! :)

[@robbinsmify]

he is a dilf except younger

[@morgenmorgen4625]

Hard disagree. I feel like the vibe has been way off since Stevie. If she's happy, that's all that matters but I'm not getting that from the content

[@lunatic5162]

​@morgenmorgen4625 bro who hurt you 😂

[@shawnalajame7888]

I am just here for Bea, period. Whether she is working out, cooking, drawing, doing crafts, organizing, designing, creating fur and feather friend habitats, whatever she’s doing, I’m here for it.

[@stephstevens2]

Yes exactly, me too✊. Bea and her many pets😍

[@zenasaunders1984]

Me too😂 love Bea✨🩵🪬

[@bethanycabanilla5036]

100%

[@justerinthings9686]

Bea is the best! 😍

[@jenniferhartson9389]

Same! I wish I lived in Colorado, i feel like we would be friends.

[@xandersmomsamby]

And yay, we finally get to see the mystery man!

[@tiffanyash254]

I noticed that right away* I thought the same thing! Its the first time I have not seen cartoon characters over face

[@nicolejacquelinebiernat7616]

I've been wanting to see his face for so long, but I was so invested in the coop that I completely missed it! 😂

[@abbyferrari]

I noticed that too!!

[@melodynsude8840]

Sooo I came he for weight loss but now apparently I’m interested in chicken now 😅! Just here for the vibes

[@amandajean1856]

Same 😂😂😂

[@CarmenDeveroux]

Giiiirl me too 😂❤

[@whollyshift7782]

And here we gather 😂

[@Szandrie]

Yup 😂❤

[@robinbrill508]

I want chickens. Steven is a good looking guy. My man's name is Steven as well. Definitely the vibes.

[@annazabinski194]

Hey Bea- been watching since like day 1, always enjoyable. I’m a registered architect- please please please add some cross members to the structure- x between the columns, x in the roof plane. It’ll add lateral stability, protect from the wind storms. And keep everyone and everything you’ve built safe.❤

[@growthmindsetshift]

As a fellow intern architect I completely agree!!!

[@BlueMoon3l3b]

So nice to see you and Steven working on projects together 😊

[@teapott7138]

Mavis when the camera fell was like " Bee, Bee, help, the people fell, HELP" So cute.

[@zuzuspetals9281]

I loved getting a little snortle from her soft nose.

[@pman2916]

Hey Bea! Its good to see more of Steven in your videos. Im so happy he's present and helping you. He's a keeper😊 My friend's bulit their own coop and said they made sure to run the chicken wire as far under ground as they could because foxes, dogs etc can dig under the wire and kill the chickens which is devastating, especially when you have to clean it all up but its most traumatising for the surviving chickens. Just a suggestion.

[@bandteesnboots]

Agreed - in Texas we had a huge owl, opossum and fox problem.

[@zuzuspetals9281]

Yep, hate to say that your dogs will need to be trained to protect the coop along with the cat.

[@kaseykelly2411]

you also want to have the smallest mesh possible doubled up on the bottom round of wire against things that can bite through it (martens, weasels, etc) and have flat ~30cm stones/pavers on BOTH sides of the wire against rats (it also helps keep the rain run off from roofs from making a trench and making the posts go wobbly) Make sure the feed storage vessels are TIGHT SEALING and LATCHABLE and FAR FROM THE MAIN HUMAN LIVING SPACE Please make sure you know how to get those floor planks UP quickly and smoothly because if you get rodentia, they will be there. You don't really want to have to pry bar or try and find a shitton of screws if there is live, angry, scared rodentia OH! and you want to have a net or wire over the non-roof part of the run because you don't want to have bird flu from wild birds that drop in. I think that's everything that killed all of my chickens and how to prevent it so your mini-dinosaurs stand a better chance. (we also lost some to kalkpoot mites and a super hard freeze before they were better... but that's just bad luck)

[@msSweeTae]

Your videos are always very calming. No pretending, no perfect facade. Just you, your projects, daily life, animals, a kind man and a fun family. I haven't skipped one video since I started watching your content many years ago. You're also very inspiring in many, many ways.

[@lisac7235]

My sentiments exactly. Bea’s channel is the only one where I have watched every video posted. I very much look forward to her videos.

[@JenniferRohr]

Love all your videos! So great seeing you so happy! Here’s a little $ for those Lowe’s trips. 😃

[@jennifersimmons790]

You and Stevie working together are couple goals! Loving this new series. Bring on the feathered friends! ❤️🐥

[@delcymansour68]

I love how she says bye in every video with so much joy 🥺❤️

[@nicyah85]

Me too. I say it too, and I even wave back 😅

[@monesquely]

I love how you and Stevie just go for it with the projects! It’s motivating and fun to watch!

[@maddy5243]

Watching Bea makes me feel like I can do anything. Setbacks are inevitable, but the way she pivots is so inspiring!! 💓💓

[@caitlinold8528]

Fill the gaps in the flooring with spray foam gap filler! 👌 then "dirt" won't fall under thr plywood making it impossible to clean. You're crushing it already! Can't wait to see how it turns out! ❤

[@jbyrd2789]

You and Steven are so cute. It’s so sweet to see him helping you out. He’s a keeper girl. ☺️

[@LindaC616]

Hey, Stevie on camera!

[@marieestrella64]

feeling honored that Stevie feels comfortable with us to be on camera. You both work so well together, I love it!

[@utkarsharanjan4160]

Watching u clean the kitchen coup without wearing a mask, knowing how sick u have been recently, is absolutely anxiety triggering for me. We love ya. Take care n mask up.

[@thebutlerdiditagain]

Ahh the best way to wrap up a Monday. Thanks for another video!

[@chrissyrk95]

Yay we finally got to see Steve's whole face.

[@Besyatka]

Thank you for leaving the doggy nose footage in!

[@bandteesnboots]

I really miss having chickens! About 8 years ago my ex and I, along with friends, built a coop out of reclaimed wood (mostly pallets) and had lots of trial and errors, but I must say - the eggs and meat from these chickens was superior. We knew how our birds were raised and fed, they were free range most all of the day, and were very loved by our family. Our run consisted of some chicken wire that was framed out and led to to an unused trampoline, also secured with chicken wire, so the chickens had some shade if needed (we live in Texas and that hilltop could be brutal!). Eventually, we dove into raising quail, which was also really cool! We ordered all of our birds off the internet at the time (circa 2014-2015) and built a brooder to house them. Then we invested in egg turners, to see if we could hatch more birds since we found out at the time we had two roosters. It worked! Such a cool experience. However, we did end up not keeping the roosters. They’re great at protecting the flock but can be aggressive and at the time I had small children so that wasn’t going to work. I would definitely get chickens again when I don’t have to live in the city, or can at least have a comparable backyard for their needs. They are great pest control, btw! I hope your endeavors are joyful! Edit: It’s really cool and delightful to see you guys doing projects together. He seems really supportive and into your ideas and projects!

[@jessicajacques6994]

Bea is the reason I am here! I don’t care what she is up too, I always enjoy watching ❤

[@rebeccacute7]

Can’t believe you got sunburnt and it snowed in the same vlog. The weather is wild 🤣 Also how is the Oasis that you built last year looking? I was so impressed by that video girl there is literally nothing you can’t do, inspiring!♥️

[@amyg8792]

Stevie's a good lookin guy, but more so, it's great to see he helps too. Cute couple. All of the pets are cuteness overload

[@somewherenorth4092]

Ventilation is super important for chickens, even during winter. There are definitely breeds that tolerate cold temps better than others, and there are lots of tips online for managing the colder temps. The deep litter method is something I've seen mentioned a bunch. I like in a pretty temperate climate so I haven't had to do much research on the subject. Have fun!

[@WeirdAlpha]

you guys got a ton done and im so impressed. fantastic job. wow

[@saritataurima4717]

I'm a total lurker on your videos and never comment but absolutely here for the life and hobby vibes 🙌

[@AnnieMarie865]

So happy to see Steven getting more comfortable with the camera. Love how he supports your projects. ❤

[@Lgabriel217]

As someone who has built a coop and run TWICE, you are doing a great job! I was relieved to see you using hardware cloth instead of chicken wire. You did your homework girl! So proud of you!

[@Ohhyouknow123]

100% recommend the linoleum floor for the chicken coop. Best thing we ever did

[@gjsarsale]

I would like to post a comment about the even eyeliner situation. It must be applauded! 👏👏👏

[@sara-mc86]

Sometimes I see these abnormally early and feel like a right stalker 🤣

[@arkaidia]

Shout out to Bea's Steve for supporting her ideas wholeheartedly. She found herself a good one. ❤

[@Bless-Your-Heart-]

You and Stevie are doing a great job! I am so impressed by what you’ve gotten done!

[@Droosmom1970]

Ahhh! Nice to see Steven on the camera lol. He’s cute!!

[@claudiasandiego4193]

🎉🎉🎉 I'm excited for the chickens. I love how your man helps you. So adorable. ALWAYS great vibes ❤

[@jocelyno.4715]

Love seeing you so happy and motivated for your chickens! I miss having them. They’re cute, derpy and sassy. So excited for you!❤

[@kathleendill8349]

This is exciting! I'm so happy you have Stevie helping you on weekends. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product and baby chicks.

[@ivylovesrunning]

It is always good to wake up to a Bea video. You two did a good job.

[@xXGracieGhostXx]

I am here for the chicken journey! I love chickens so much and your renovations look very good! Also I admire your determination and hard work! You are so fearless when starting projects and it really motivates me to not be so afraid to do big projects! I know it sounds cheesy, but you are an inspiration! Keep it up Bea!

[@cupcakeinlace]

Ready to live vicariously through Bea and her chickens 🐔

[@corinnabiller165]

We get to see Stevie now! so happy to see him more comfortable with being on camera. Also YGG!!! love your channel bea

[@xWonderbolt]

the puppy got so big so fast omg

[@jeanavery4451]

Final Destination-ing someone 🤣🤣 That made me laugh out loud!! 🤣😂 Great job so far on the chicken coop you two!!!! 👏👏

[@11herbsandspices]

Can't wait to see the finished project. Great job so far! You are right to feel proud!!!

[@Ragt0p]

Ooh, the chickens are getting close! I’m so enjoying the project and your meticulous planning 💕

[@Shannon.Bush243]

Woohoo! So happy to see this. My boyfriend watches with me from time to time and a few hours ago he goes, "did Bea upload? If she did, did we get to see stevie??" What an exciting night 😂😂

[@leedelee3305]

Steven, what a dream boat! Couple goals! ❤

[@stephstevens2]

Omg we finally see Stebie! 😂🎉

[@ashleybrown5551]

I love your videos. I've been watching since day one. You always bring a smile to my face

[@Iluvchknz]

Ooh you are going to love having chickens. They are so fun and they give you eggs.

[@crystalsmith3574]

I went on a chicken journey a few years ago. Built an entire barn and run was 2 dog kennels connected to a side door for the ladies to explore. I went all in with 13 babies . (Ordered 12, got a bonus baby) Lots of work but loads of memories and love. If i ever do it again it would be on a much smaller scale. I will live vicariously through your journey. 😂 I had vinyl flooring and honestly i think concrete would've been the way to go as scraping the poo made some of the floors tear over time. Their poo literally eats through the untreated wood that was used inside my coop but my subfloor was treated plywood elevated off the ground so that may have contributed. Its looking great Bea!!!

[@tiffanysailor8410]

You both are doing a great job! 🥰

[@MammaBean0617]

You can't leave those windows open at night. Any whole bigger than an inch will allow predators in to kill your babies. Run needs to hold the in the coop needs to keep out the killers. Ventilation is key. So you'll want to drill some holes up top and cover them with hardware cloth. Good luck Bea!!

[@jerihough117]

I don’t know why, but I pictured Stevie as younger with sandy blond hair. You’ve got a up grown handsome man here Bea! He’s not just handsome but sounds like a good man too, which as we all know are hard to find. Congrats! You look good too!

[@caroldavis4127]

Chicken coop girl boss!! You are as fierce with a drill as you are with an eyeliner pen!❤️🤣

[@katesanch6378]

BEA!!! Happy to see you! Looks like you are feeling better, too. YAY to that!

[@user-mt7fi2fq9y]

Stephen is cute good job Bee 🐝👍

[@annabalsley5019]

Definitely put down linoleum,I did for my coop and it's great,I also use sand for the coop floor,not play sand but all purpose sand,sand is way easier to clean and the chickens get their grit from it. I do put straw on top of it during winter for extra warmth and comfort,looking forward to chicken content 🐔🐥🐤🐓

[@amyray12]

I’m so excited to see your chicken coop come together! ❤

[@ChrissyPage]

I use to have chickens too and loved having them! Raised them from chicks so grew attached to having them as pets. Nothing as devastating as waking up one day after years to have raccoons break through the roof of the coop and eat them 😢. It was traumatizing and I decided I never want chickens again after that happened. I loved them and I just couldn’t go through it again. So I wish you all the luck on keeping them safe. I’m excited for you to have chickens. And I’m not trying to deter you from it at all, I just want to make sure you have it secure from raccoons too (people always seem to forget them)

[@vazlet]

OMG how awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you and the chickens. The thought broke my heart. :(

[@kcscoot4009]

Love the holes reference 💚

[@xandersmomsamby]

Yay it's Bea!!! Happy Monday to us ❤❤

[@destinyjade9817]

Awesome! Love your mini homestead beginnings. Although I thought you were going to breakdown how much everything was like you normally do for everything else. Spread sheet master. Would love to know how much to expect if doing project myself.

[@loftus4453]

I was watching a movie when your video popped up. I paused that and immediately switched over! Happy Bea Day! ❤

[@travellinjack9487]

This new iteration of Beatrice is SO exciting. All that chicken poop will be excellent fertilizer to make your gardening dreams come true, as well.

[@katiegoodman87]

Well aren't we fancy, being a multi ladder household 🤣

[@gordythecat]

You guys are such a sweet couple 🥹 Blessings to you both and your chickens. Ps. Make sure the chickens have ventilation even it the winter!

[@LindaLinda-qg4yp]

Nice to see you Steven - Welcome your fame starts now ; )

[@celinuchis90]

"Stanley Yelnats" 😂😂😂 One of my favorite books. 🙂

[@mischeifmismanaged]

I suggest a sand floor. It’ll cut down on the smell and you can clean it like a cat litter box. It’ll be more sanitary and fresher for the chicken.

[@courtneymurray7908]

I’m so impressed! That looks so great! I can’t wait for you to get chickens!!!! They are so fun! I had them growing up and they were so cool.

[@hilareeek]

Reciprocating saws are literally the best tool ever. Enjoy it. Cut many things. Go forth and chop!

[@tammyeaton6449]

Mavis! All the babies look like they’re having fun. #holes 🦖

[@mandiejonsen]

make sure you dig the sides of the net stuff into the ground. even the slightest gap and a snake can get in and eat the birds.

[@dogables]

Or other creatures

[@lesliedebord7997]

We're getting ready to build a more appealing and legit chicken run for our coop. This really makes me ready to get going on this project. Our chickens can be little a-holes, but we love 'em! We also, apparently, have inherited 4 baby bunnies over the weekend. Their nest was destroyed after mowing and I don't want to return them with our dogs roaming the property. For now they are in a hutch in our garage until we can release them (rehome or keep them, who knows!)

[@gladysolmedo3470]

Great to see you 😊

[@sarasaponaro6271]

If you take a cotton ball and dip in white vinegar & apply to skin before the aloe. It will neutralize the heat & sensitivity of the sunburn.

[@katesanch6378]

LOVE Mavis' FACE❤❤❤ (Stevie's ain't hurtin' my feelings none either...hubbahubba😍)

[@annab524]

Dang girl, your a boss!! Setting poles and putting up metal roofing. Stevie is a good man helping you with all that as well. ❤

[@kaijuchick3928]

i have seen many a chicken coop, yall did a great job

[@SuperForace]

Stevie's so handsome, even the camera fainted 😊

[@marymccarthy2533]

Have you researched how far below the ground you need to put fencing or wire to help keep the coop safe from predators?

[@bethlovesthings]

Soooo excited for your next chicken chapter!

[@shelby7820]

Loving seeing all content from you ❤

[@marilynmcpeak8818]

I came to your channel to watch the weight loss struggles and achievements. Now however, I can't wait for chicken coop building part 2. Please hurry!!!! Is there anything Bea can't ( or won't) do. What a fun channel!!!!

[@happyhiker2665]

I love how you will tackle a project even though you don’t have previous experience doing said project. I need to build a chicken run for my girls and I’m scared to do it since I have no idea how to do anything but watching this you give me a boost of confidence.

[@user-ro3yy7ni2l]

This is the best, I don’t even know what I’m excited about, but luv these updates

[@kellykelly438]

I've missed the Dougie cameos ❤️❤️❤️

[@liamgarcia9854]

4:34 camera pups are the best!!!

[@msbeaverhausen7226]

Well done!!! How satisfying to build your own coop. I can't wait to see your chickens next!!

[@Kalnanaa]

I wish these videos were twice as long! Loving the contenttttt always

[@ashleighblasey2262]

Pro tip. Putting down laminate flooring on the coop floor makes for an easy cleanup.

[@tewanna1]

Bea… love you & him! It’s sooo refreshing to see his face! You got a keeper!

[@nicholer1294]

I miss having chickens! You’ll have fun with them Bea!

[@Shiriusa]

girl for first time building something you guys did great! congrats on the progress

[@nancypulham9493]

Hi Bea! Was thinking about you today and your chicken coop while I was out for a walk. Hope all is well 💚

[@wh0aheavy]

Final Destination really traumatized a whole generation didn't it lol
