I have a black austrolorp named Mildred. She is 7 1/2 years old and the queen of my coop. She had a birth defect. Her toes are badly curled, but she has never let that hold her back. At 4 she went broody for the first and only time in her life. We got her some fertile eggs, and she successfully hatched and raised them. She was amazing as a mother hen.

I love my Australorps. They are not all super friendly, but most are. They are all laid back, easy to handle and my very best Mama hen is an Australorp. They are faithful layers and lay a pretty egg. Their temperament is perfect in my book, because they don't start drama in the chicken yard, but if another hen brings it, they'll stand up for themselves or their chicks. So they aren't bullies, but they aren't pushovers either.

I've been planning and studying my whole life for this moment in time. I'm not what you would call a prepper per say (typo but I'll leave it for context, because f that guy) but I'm very prepared. What Miss Becky is teaching us is truly more valuable than ever "today". I will finally be realizing my own dream of simply living off the land. I'm so excited to start this journey to self sufficiency. Some would say I'm late to the party, I'd say I'm right on time. I really appreciate your honest approach, very few will discuss things like finance. That's what drew me to you. So thanks again and have an amazing day.

You start where you are with what you've got. It took me 8 years to get where I am now. I sold my suburban home where I had a 1000 sq ft garden and four illegal chickens, and moved to a larger property last year with 3500 sq ft of garden space and more chickens. I'm now 69 years old. Sometimes I get in my own way, but at least I have more sustainability where I am now. Becky was very instrumental in my decision to buy a larger property, and I've learned a great deal from her, and continue to. Learn and hone every skill you can and enjoy the journey!

Homesteading has always been the best life style, you can develop useful skills and the work is very satisfying. I find if funny how now that things are changing, people are “rushing” into Homesteading and “prepping”. Homestead skills take a long time to develop and short cuts never pay off. Start by building or getting a little house. Then add the animals and gardens slowly with a lot of thought and planning. Don’t build a dump stead. ☀️❤️☀️

Hi Becky! Gosh, I've learned so much from you since I found your channel over 3 years ago! That's when we "inherited" a small flock of chickens and a rooster who were living on the property we bought in 2019. Last year, we moved to a new state, but we brought our feathered friends right along with us. They're family! We built their coop ourselves with 2 easy access roosts, safety from predators at night, and cozy nesting boxes. We give them a little fresh salmon a few days a week (my dad fishes in Alaska every year!) and make sure they can all access their food and water. We even get while corn and not cracked since you said it stays fresh longer! They love it! But they only get a little in the summer since I know it generates heat in their bodies. They're free range in their fenced yard and it has 3 HUGE fir and pine trees to go under for shelter from sky predators. We left all the low branches on because we're in the Pacific Northwest with many raptors. Based on all the reading I've done, I believe that our birds are all Americaunas? They are tailed, not rumpless like Auracanas? They all have muffs and beards and they lay light blue eggs. I've heard them called Easter Eggers, too. I've lovingly cared for these kids for 3 years now. Cleaning their coop, feeding them treats by hand, sitting and talking with them while they study me and dust bathe. I've even learned some of their language! They run to me when I come into their yard, but try as I might, they do not want to be touched. I can lift them from the roost in the evening if I need to inspect anybody's legs for mites or see if their vent is poopy, but they do NOT freely let me touch them. I thought I was doing something wrong, but I want to thank you for this video easing my worries. I guess it's just their nature. Our rooster is a great protector and he's actually extremely sweet and gentle with us, and the girls are excellent layers. They take care of us with those yummy eggs, so we'll continue taking care of them. They've taught us so much about patience, hard work, and appreciation for nature... and so have you! Can't wait for your next video!

Australorp derives from the words “Australia” and “Orpington,” and it is the Orpington in them that gives them their docile nature. If the Buff Orpington is the Golden Retriever of the chicken world, then the Black Australorp is the Black Lab. What I mean by this is they’re often overlooked in favor of the other breed, but those who do get them adore them! Plus, Australorps generally lay more than Orpingtons, but if you get both they will live happily together, so you get the best of both worlds😁!

Homesteading is about food certainly, but it is also about economic sustainability. We had to lay out an enormous sum to get the place up and running, and yes we eat our stock, but I have no interest in raising animals that can't cover the expense of raising them, and the more crossover per animal/crop the better. The chickens are maybe the hardest working employees I have ever employed, you get eggs, meat, you can sell either of those, plus you can sell chicks, fertilized eggs, point of lay hens or cockerels to cover feed, coop construction etc. In addition, they provide some of the best fertilizer on earth, and with a bit of planning and management you can have them do a fair bit of your weeding and compost turning. It probably took me 3-5 years to truly turn a profit on chickens, but it's an asset rather than an expense anymore.

I love your hair-do in the intro, pf what O can see pf it under the hat, anyhow. Your curls and hair color are really nice. There was another video I love with your hairstyle, too. I can't remember which video, but it was from 2 months ago.

My barred rocks and white leghorns are very well behaved. I wonder what a couple Australorps in the mix will do. I have heard good things about golden comets also

Most of my meat production is with rabbits but these are my egg layers.

Becky, I love watching your videos, especially on chicken feed. My sister has 40 Black Australorps. She loves her chicks. I’ve been watching the feed mix from past videos. Our first time chicks are 7 weeks. Now with warmer Oklahoma weather, we’ll be moving them into the coop full time. When do I transition them from chick starter feed to your mixture? Hope to hear back soon.

Ive also read that hawks tend to leave them alone because they confuse them with crows. Im not sure if this is true or not, just something Ive read.
