    I’m so glad to see someone work on different projects at different times. Some people want to work on a project until it’s done and then start another. I can’t always do that. I’m working on my fall garden and building a chicken run and I have baby birds. I have plans to make a dress from a new pattern and I want to make Bible covers and Bible bags to sell. If I get stuck on a project, then I jump to something else until I can figure it out. Sometimes the answers to problems come to me in dreams.

    Have you considered putting in an orchard? Something small with multi grafts on each tree to spread harvests out? I have small farm in SE Kansas I have grafted Cado pecan to native pecan. I am also going to graft multi varieties of plums apples and such to some trees i have established. Grafting varieties that will have different harvest times and different uses so i am not loaded down with a bunch needing harvested all at once.

    we just picked up some new baby chicks to add to our flock.
    current flock assists of six white leghorns we had several more than that but we had to give half away due to getting way too many eggs.
    leghorns are about 4 years old now and they've actually slowed down on the laying of the eggs so we decided to get some new chicks.
    I'm going to be introducing these new chickens to a 4-year-old flock will probably wait till they're at least 6 to 8 weeks old before even attempted so this should be fun.
    hoping it goes smoothly because the pecking order is well established in the old flock.

    Looks awesome! I used to have some meat chicks like thoes white ones. If you feed them like regular chickens they grow WAY too fast and become deformed from their own growth. Cant hold themselves up etc. So my grandpa and I figured to feed them lower protein food amd not as much so they grow slow and dont break. Love your channel!

For years I have wanted to Homestead and now not sure I have the stamina. Even more confused about WHERE to build my dream. Property taxes and government intrusion could ruin an otherwise wonderful life. Even thinking of leaving the USA and Homesteading in a country that is quieter and simpler... Anyway... Best to you!

    I couldn't kill my pets. All my chickens have names and total personalities. I know we have to eat. I guess if I would have to trade in a SHTF situation for something else get meat from someone else unless it was shrimp or salmon. I find in later years even that would be hard but I could do that. I love your videos, Becky. Thank you. You are such an inspiration. You really got a much larger space, didn't you. How many acres now? looks like at least 5. I checked and hay really went up in Florida, so can see why you want more grazing.

    Becky - I have been watching your site for about twenty years, since starting our own little homestead. We have learned much of what we know from you and Scott. There are so many critters around ( foxes, raccoons and the occasional coyote ) that we have to keep our hens in a run attached to their coop. I noticed today that some of your hens and the guinea are free ranging. Are you not having `critter` problems on your new property ? Do you have barn cats to keep your mice/rat problem down ? In spite of having food locked down in metal bins and no food overnight in the coop we are having problems. I am now handicapped and not able to do much outside anymore - but still try to keep an eye on everything. Including your vlogs. Your new `place` looks wonderful and so glad you are happy. Muriel R

      Thank you for the response but I think you may have misunderstood my question. I already own a home with a little land out in the country but much of it is wooded & hilly & I was hoping to get an idea of how many acres would need to be cleared in order to turn my land into a homestead similar to what u have. It appears that you’re able to comfortably house chickens, guineas, horse(s), hog, mule, etc. The camera was showing that all the animals seemed to be spread out comfortably. If the question of acreage is too personal would u mind giving your opinion on basic or bare minimum acreage allotment or a guesstimate of averages for the same amount of animals that u have? Thank you!

    Hi Becky! Your coop looks great, but would a dirt floor be too drafty for chickens living in a climate that gets cold winters, we have temperatures of 19 degrees and below during winters where I live. Also, my brother and sister-in-law’s flock contracted Fowl Pox, would it be a good idea to vaccinate my flock against it? I wouldn’t want to visit my bother and sis and bring that disease to my flock.

    When you are doing it a by yourself and debt free it takes a lot of time and everything isn't perfect looking! LOL ,I know i'm doing it alone and it's taking a longer time when you have so many projects to work on.

    Hey Becky thank you for the video and homestead looks nice there it's coming together nicely and hopefully eventually I can get my property but I'm kind of scared to be honest with you because there are people out there that are buying land and I heard this yesterday on a CZcamsr and their purchasing properties from people because what this crew is out to do is they want to build stores shopping centers all these sorts of things and they're going to give you whatever they want to give you for your land and it's going to lose value every day the thing that they will give to you I'm just afraid if I go to bye property there's a possibility with my luck that once I'm there for a little while they'll come by and by my property
