You and Scott were having fun in this live feed. I look forward to your Sunday stream. It starts my day off right.
Thanks, I'm so glad you like it☀️❤️❤️
Do you have a book I can but on how to start?
Wow, Becky, you're looking GREAT! You've lost a lot of weight. I jump around in your videos across the years and have not seen your recent stuff until now. I didn't know you were moving! I'm so excited to hear more about that!
I love: your cat painting behind you, your colors used in your tray hanging on the wall behind you, the colors everywhere around you - so cute in a log cabin! I also love: your videos, your animals, your kitchen with this layout, and of course, your log cabin! I also love YOU! You are just so precious, intelligent, tenacious, skilled, loving and patient (at least for the most part with Scott - hahahahaha)! You have more common sense than anyone I've ever met, even my husband who I thought had hung the moon! Thanks Becky! I'm your greatest fan!
Becky you are always smiling when you talk about your animals. It shows' your love for what you do!
I learn so much from your channel as a newbie! Thank you so much.
WOW Becky YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!
Becky is it younger you're getting?
Great information again, as usual. Thanks for sharing your expertise. It's much appreciated. You seem to be a natural👍
Best chicken channel ever!
Hello, I have been following you for a while, and I liked the change that has been made. Go ahead
Thanks, I'm glad you like it☀️❤️☀️
becky getting prettier by every weekend.
Hahaha thank you☀️❤️☀️
I did this huge mistake of buying 15 assorted rare breeds. Oh boy, what a nightmare this is. Unfortunately I got 4 very skittish, frightful breed that scream every time something comes close and then whole flock panicks and screams. It is stressful and very unpleasant to care for them when they 're so unfriendly. Beside that, some are aggressive and strong, some are calm and gentle and don't get so much food....grrr, I'm so upset for doing this newbie mistake.
Thanks for another great video!
Becky, did not recognize you. Dang girl your a one hot mama. Love your new you.
Haha thank you☀️❤️☀️
You are so awesome and inspiring. Thank you, Becky! You are looking happy and healthy, lady
Thank you☀️❤️☀️
No wonder no one answered my question, she literally answered it just before I joined the live stream... I must've seemed really dumb. Sorry Chicken family. 😞
I got 10 chicks at the same time. My 3 black sex links get along pretty well with my cochins I also got 4 sapphires I can't remember the whole name for the sapphires anyway they never got as big as the other ones so I separated them.They are all fully feathered I was wondering if I can put them in the same coop as the black sex links and the couchins or do I need to keep them separated
I would put them together, just keep an eye on them for a few days. Put food and water on both ends of the coop to make double sure everyone gets enough to eat and drink☀️❤️☀️
You are looking great !
Hello Becky I have a Bard rock hen that about 5 weeks ago was not feeling very well we brought her inside separated her from the other chickens and after a week she was back to normal and acting good. But sense then she has not laid any eggs at all I was hoping you could help me figure out whats wrong! She is acting perfectly normal eating and drinking. A hand full of times i have seen her in the nesting box acting like she was gonna lay but then after about 20 mins she will come down without laying an egg. Please any advice would be amazing!
I've learned so much from your videos, just got 4 chickens and a rooster today. Thanks for the detailed advice!! And I agree you're living the dream! Or my dream someday!
We have had 6 chickens for 2 years now. All doing well, laying eggs well until this spring. Production was down to 1 egg a day, sometimes none. We have always fed them organic pellets. Started watching your videos and we began to feed a can of sardines a day, and we made your homemade chicken feed of sunflower, oats, corn, doggie kibble and diatomaceous earth sprinkled in. Presto! More eggs!! The only concern i have is none of them eat the oats. It’s always laying on the ground. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!
Use a little less oats next batch☀️❤️☀️
Your great.
Gosh seems so easy to homestead in Florida. We live in California where the air is even expensive. Is there a way to cheaply do a homestead here in California? I was raised in in Oxnard the Centura county area where the weather is perfect. I'm currently living in the valley where it's so crazy hot for me out here in the summer time and expensive too. I want to live where the summers are bearable without paying a million dollars to be there. I want to be a cheap efficient homesteader for a family of 8. I have 6 children.
It is super hot in FL in the summer. Homesteading is not easy anywhere, it is a lot of work but we don't mind because we love it☀️❤️☀️
BTW I'm a huge huge fan! I learned from you how to make soap, laundry soap, and raising my very small flock. We have 2 white crested polish hens, 1 Plymouth bardrock, and our Roaster Bob he is a mix breed. Leg horn mix. He is so nice. Thank you for all your videos and advise and well needed information. A fan since 2015. You guys rock
I’ve heard Florida is hot and humid in the summer, so you’re better off here in California for the weather. It is very expensive to live here in California. Too many regulations as well, but we have the best variety of climates and beautiful scenic spots.
There are some videos where people have used orange oil and dish soap for fire ants. It was very effective.
I have never tried that☀️❤️☀️
I gave mine their first worm and it was like watching chicken football. They just kept taking it from each other. It was do darn cute! I thought it was funny because they had enough for a few each.
Hi Becky! What do you think of Amber white chickens?
I'm curious why you are moving. Have you sold your current home?
How many sq ft does 5 chickens need in a run who are never let out? Please answer.
Fyi, your sound sounded good the whole time to me. No problems on this end.
what are the top 3 / 4 chickens that get along together
Thank you Becky ❤ i keep asking you a lot of stuff in the comment sections you must have a lot of my messages in your notifications i have several issues because i am a newbie. Whenever you can please I'd love your response i know you're a busy woman. I am taking all your advices in the videos thank you sooo much.

Your weight loss is AMAZING!! What are you doing to lose weight?

Hey Becky thank you for the information again from this video
Your welcome☀️❤️☀️
Si gracias tambian yo mi gustan tus vtyhhu
Can you please share you opinion on jersey giants and silver laced Wyandotte’s? 😊
Hey Becky i love your video on chicken food you make for your birds...Do you have a special diet for your baby chicks to ?
Non medicated chick starter is what I buy to get them started, don't forget the chick grit☀️❤️☀️
I got 4 "brown " chicks...today and have an old chicken coup to fix up. I am a bit nervous about getting it cleaned up in time. I say brown because when they are older there will be brown & egg layers. It was an opportunity for finally getting them. I hope that following your guidance I can get it done right for them. It's my first chick's, ever. I'm thinking I need help but, to only me. I have a cat that's pregnant and I have been trying to make sure they are separated. My dog would be in their house and I am also trying to get a fenced area for him. And I want to put my garden next to the coup, surrounding the outside area. Is this a good idea.what plants would good to have neR their fencing?
Only caught the last few minutes but will watch replay. Will you be doing vlog type posts again? We miss you walking around your homestead and talking to us.
Straw is made from spent wheat. Hay is dried grass.
Looking good Becky! Please update us on your weight loss and give more frequent updates on your plans for homestead park!
My baby chick had pasty butt and I cleant it but now it stays alone and does not mix. What do I do? It is scared and is not eating?
Ohhh, I thought a pony was just a baby horse, LOL
I was telling Becky my mom about your old pizza garden. Awesome idea
You look so young!!!
Good morning
☀️❤️☀️
I’ve been watching your videos for several years now. With that I’ve noticed your weight loss for some time now. Today I was going through my subscriptions list and clicked on yours as your weight loss today is absolutely Amazing. In short, Damm woman, You Look GREAT!!!!!
Hahaha thanks☀️❤️☀️
How long can two chickens tolerate a small pen without being out of the pen.
Not long at all. You should always built animal shelters first, then get the animals to avoid that☀️❤️☀️
Are wyandotte's rosters usually mean
Wyandotte's Roosters are nice but they are big so make sure your hens can take that big boy standing on them.☀️❤️☀️
What about the temperament of silkys? I hope you talk about them.
Hello. I really like all your videos. Interesting and informing. However, I was wondering do you have a video somewhere that explains how to care for chicks that hatched in the coop? I don't have an incubator. I do have the lamps and such. Do I take them out at a certain age, do I take the chicks and the hen and house them else where? Never hatched eggs before, have always purchased from a hatchery. I would be excited to see a response. 🌷
Hi Becky, I'm new to raising chickens. Everything was going great until one day we noticed one of our Rhode island reds had a swollen and black eye ball. Very little swelling, and no discharge. Not sneezing either. Can't find any pictures of anything that look similar. Any idea what it could be?
Maybe it bumped or pocked it on something, just watch it for a few days and see how it goes☀️❤️☀️
@@BeckysHomestead it's been a week already and it's getting bigger. 🤷
Way cool ideas I like chicken. I. Just taking brake tell Thanksgiving then I'll have turkey.
Hot weather birds
Becky I missed this when you were live. I have some black sex link chics and I've heard they will be mild tempered. How does that work when they are a cross between bardrock and and Rhode island red and those chickens are reputed to be mean? I'm worried because we have a 3 year old speckled Sussex that is super sweet and was bullied in her last flock and I don't want the sex links to be mean to her when they big enough to go to the coop.
Sometimes a mix changes their personalty, my red sex links are mild ☀️❤️☀️
I have a question can you raise your chicks with your dog and when they grow up will they get along?
Is mixing black astraulops and bantams a good idea? Thank you for all your information!
Depends which bantams you choose☀️❤️☀️
Hi. I was just wondering what ducks are good for besides to be pets and eat bugs. I know we wouldn’t eat the eggs.
Mello hot weather birds
Becky getting thin!
What about wyandotte's?
Wyandotte's are very nice, they are in the mellow category☀️❤️☀️
awwww
red seglings ?
I love your new look. You look so young!
How much coop space does a chicken need? Mine are free ranging during the day.
I say 12 square feet. That is 3 foot by 4 foot for each chicken minimum ☀️❤️☀️
I wanted to try chickens but ducks seem to me to be a better choice for my situation.
Ducks are nice. They need about all the same things, coop, same food( my chicken mix) just add a mini pool and use the dirty water on your garden☀️❤️☀️
When I did an internship on an organic farm and we never had to get the ducks out of trees at dusk to keep the owls from having them for diner. LOL
You look great!
Thank you☀️❤️☀️
is it okay to mix barred rocks,buff orpingtons,black astrolorps,and leghorns? They would all be hens and the same age (about a week old)
The Black Australorps are the sweetest of all those breeds so watch they don't get picked on☀️❤️☀️
@@BeckysHomestead Oh ok thank you so much! Ill look out for that :)
I am in trouble. Did not know barred rocks were bullies. I have 6 chicks come any day now. 3 black astralorps and 3 barred rocks. What do I do now???
Do you have much experience with marans
Thank you so much for explaining about the size and configuration of the coop. I had not considered that issue about the roost in a narrow space. Good point!
👍
Hi Becky!! Question- you have recommended the Flock Party mealworms, but I came across a bunch of stuff that says not to feed chickens dried mealworms... Do you know why they’d say for chickens not to eat them? I thought the protein was good for them..?
They are totally fine. I have fed tons and tons to my chickens☀️❤️☀️
Becky's Homestead Oh good because I bought the big bag lolols!! Thanks, Becky! You’re the best! ❤️
gud
I have a problem with flies . How do you deal with them?
Becky said in another video to keep the coop cleaner to keep flies at bay. Deep clean with pressure washer twice a year
She also said to add a deep layer of sand after the area is water cleaned., i.e., make sure there is no poop or pee. If there is, pressure wash then apply the sand. By keeping the area dry, there will be less flies.
Love your videos just bought 2 black sex links and learning alot from your channel. Also where do you live in florida I live in milton florida. I've never had chickens so I will more than likely get your book to learn lots more on taking care of my chickens.
Roosters?
haven't seen you in awhile -you look great! what's your secret PLEASE?
So I basically just got 8 puppies. Lol. Yaaay!
P.B.R. Plymouth barred rock.
Hi Becky, I was looking for an email address to email you but I couldn't find one so I'll just comment here. An animal raided my coop last night and took 2 chickens. 2 remained, one was fine but the other won't open its eyes and doesn't move too much. I checked her over but she isn't hurt anywhere besides TINY blotches of red around one of her eyes. What do you recommend I do? I already lost 2 and I don't feel like losing another...
Just keep her worm and quite. I like to offer them wet bread for a few days.☀️❤️☀️
@@BeckysHomestead Thank you very much! This morning, she cracked an eye open, I hope that means she isn't blind!
Hey, you want a rooster? LOL
I couldn't get through the 19 commercials
starting yesterday, this occurred for me on all YT channels I tried to view. My adblocking subscription is being blocked by the Chrome browser. I was instructed to use my subscription service through Microsoft edge or firefox until google chrome fixes the problem.
Sorry about that, it is the same for me when I watch stuff. That is the world we live in☀️❤️☀️
Me too can’t stand the adds!
Can I mix Oyster shells in my home made chicken food?
