About OFF GRID with DOUG and Stacy
In 2010 we decided to sell everything and build a log cabin on 11 acres. We have lived in the log cabin for a decade now with no solar power or wind power plus zero public utilities. We live like the pioneers except in the 21st century. We post videos on social media to encourage people to return to the land and make a living with your family. We teach folks:
*Off grid living *Rain water catchment *Cooking with wood
*Food growing *Cooking from scratch *Raised bed gardening
*Food harvesting *fermenting the harvest *food preservation
*Holistic Remedies like Grandma made *How to make money and live this life

Our chicken feed is up $11 a bag and rising. I see an opportunity for those of us who have chickens to help those around who don't or can't. Both with eggs and chick's. We DO need to stand together, cuz we are strong in numbers. God bless!
It’s a little more than that here in AR for the cheap end stuff for egg layers. I think America is fixing to have to have a major revolt or else people are going to really start dying from not getting simple needs met. And there is absolutely zero good reason. It’s the UN’s Agenda 2030 and all those following it.
Chicn feed ???? What is it and can't you produce your own ???
Most of the chicken feed at hardware and farm stores now comes in 40 lb bags and it costs more than 50 lb bags did 3 years ago. Luckily here in north Idaho we have a good family run farm and ranch store that has good bulk feed for a reasonable price.
@@ooowilburyou don’t raise chickens
We have a big yard. I'm toying with 6 chick's thats all we can have..
"Don't try to go to the store for everything. Start thinking about how you become the store." Good advice! Thank you! :)
HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT FARMERS. ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS FREIGHTEN YOU.
Absolutely right, God bless
I don’t believe anyone wants u to be afraid of homesteading or hobby farming..and it’s not scary! If the ram is getting nasty-Snip his manhood off when young..he will not develop nasty habits. Don’t buy chickens at the sale barn for your place. It’s a good way to get a disease in your chickens! Don’t forget, get different breeds that are Heritage and maybe more resistant. Some farms don’t sell their good chickens, they sell the sick, non layers or broody girls that want to eat the skin off your hand! If it’s not faded on their “gobblers” and they are bright red-they aren’t laying! The eggs take those nutrients from the hens gobblers-Been raising chickens for 30 years. We had the kids show their goats for 4H, goats-Saanen, real big milkers-Nubians goats almost as big in milk, and horses that will eat different types parts of the pasture than the other animals! I have moved off my farm now bcuz I got badly injured by a stud horse-but don’t think I don’t miss it every second of every day! Can’t feed goat food to sheep-so u need to choose sheep or goat. My baby was born with allergies to everything! My old farm neighbor said get him on goat milk! Problem solved! I love watching your farm life! I will live vicariously thru your videos!! 😂😂😂😊Enjoy your farm my friend!!
If we don’t bow to the beast they will take our land. The Bible has prophesied this.
Pay attention to Rev 18:23 sorcery is all pharmaceuticals
And Galatians 5 see what it says about sorcerers.
Dan 11:45 City of Neom. Also Rev 17&18
Read your bibles we will not be rescued with a rapture, its a lie causing too many not to seek the word. And to be lawless and care more about this world.
We may have to give our very lives to stand firm.
Love not the world nor anything in the world.
Research this n don’t just take scriptures out of context. Be prepared spiritually knowing this.
Much Ahabah love!

Watching in Feb 2023
Chickens can live in almost any condition and ultra cramped conditions. That's why there are so many of them. Ppl eat 11 thousand million eggs per year....Any ways....
And this number is small compared to how many there really are now, and not all chickens are counted in this count, n if there are 60 billion chickens,
......and probably more.
Then to lose a few million won't matter.
So you can see the game the leaders are doing.
To have true problems in the world then they would have to kill billions not millions n not 100's of thousands. 🙄
I know this is about the eggs but Abigail is just a DOLL, i love her. These animals are so blessed to have you.
I thought that too, until I realized they are going to kill and eat them :’(. I could never raise and name a lamb and then kill it. Unless I misunderstood the purpose of the sheep?
What did you think they were pets??
@@peterdesmier6165 - Yes.
@@karollisa7022 They raise their sheep healthy and happy. There is no better meat to get, as long as your not a hunter.
Please don't bear with me because of my bad english 🙈
I bottle fed my ram all the way through. He was a sweet boy and would actually escape his pen to come onto the porch and scream for his milk 😂
😂🤣
I bottled feed 5 Jersey's❤ My BABIES😊 Didn't loose 1. I remember one time when they were BIG😳 I went in the gate and all came running as 1😬 the ground was shaking.. They were my babies😊
This is all new to me(the animals) but why bottle feed when the mother is there? Can the babies get fed from the mother? Thx
My ram would jump the fence, broke in through an unlocked and found my bed out of 5.
@@carleanr4051 the mother had died during childbirth! This happens surprisingly often which is why many have the experience of nursing these babies. If the mother is alive and able to feed, we avoid doing this unless it is needed (milk of mom isn't enough for babies, for example).
Thanks to all the farmers out there who help the rest of us who can't farm....Again, Thank you for your hard work!
Second that❤!
We designed eden. We were ignored. Yahweh said speak no longer 2them. They anger me.
True gardening vs Satan TARE RACE You Tube gardening "Ceators:"*
All thworldz probmz cn be solved in thgarden u control food u rule thworld.
Angels far smarter then Satan fell long b4 he did these Reptilian humanoids all got2gether decided invent money cntrol food back when our solar system was heaven inhabit by angels.
All these lovely adoreable passionate gardening pioneer life tutorials You Tube produced by Satans computer animation TARE RACE founded on Satans methods 4burning wood, gathering water, sewage, gardening. (Only exception being my food forest.)
I dont have gardening vids. Dont need2. Just read this.
Yahweh quote 2016 75% earth NOT humans = satans tare race, (Demons. They dont know they are demons)
They perpetuate trojan horse garden vids2entice peeps dump so much cash in2garden is just not wrth it. Maybe 3% out here country garden. Not even1 gardening cashless or paying less then just buying food Walmart &they till bare earth like Satans boys teach.
I live on vast wildfood garden 600 miles square bcuz I seeded entire countryside Wister Ok with 100 various wild seeds from Los Angeles basin. I only ever planted about 3 vegetable gardens but i am thgardening king of kings. How?
Lol I dont subscribe tares my focus = delete $$$.
Where i am is where all u people will be.
Lol all Satan has 2do = reduce water pressure, manipulate weather, change seasons specifically DURING CHIP ENFORCE.
Not 1gardner talking about thfact money will be wrth nothing or even mentions Reptilian angels or Satan bcuz TARES engineered 2focus on FALSE reality. Phony pandemics, phony wars &presidents. Lol Yah showed us all president votes fake. Lol IGNORE SATAN ignore his scary evils.
Yahweh stated he wont allow nuclear holicaust.
Tare farmers focus on Satans presidents, economy, wars &government problems &ofcourse expensive grow lights lol.
Lol those are DEVILS not humans.
Yah showed us Mike Pence raping 300 babies a year, drinking thblood. Trump is SATANS good guy get past it gov. is NOT CLEANING THSWAMP like Satans google teach.
Thus u people keeping thtrue criminals cmfortably out of jail while praising idiot war veterans who drop warhead on Japanese girl bcuz president Fred mad with President Jack. Lol bad guy Puttin is a clone. Computer animation.
Gardening amounts 2soil = amounts 2 1thing. Mulch. Mulch never wrked never did never will.
Bcuz people hear it wrks, lay down mulch, &it doesnt wrk bcuz they dont mulch ENOUGH.
FORMULA: I use oak leaves only = 3,000lbs per 2,000 sq. ft. = 8" start of season. U must have it ALL IN PLACE BY FROST DATE SPRING cant add it after plants gro.
Two:
POTTING SOIL.
Potting soil will DESTROY u when Satan enforce chip. If u recieve money medical chip in u skin u downloaded 2hell = computer program known as a "dimension" = Yahwehs firewall.
I cnstructed 12 potting soils. Simple soil gathered under mulch wrkd best. (Do not pack it)
Any1 refusing chip cant buy potting soil&fertilizer.
Fertilizer = myth.
When soil premium = all u need. Mulch = frtilizer. Period.
God doesnt drop 100,000 tons per acre manure fall. He drops CELLULOSE.
Three:
Say NO 2no till:
TILL TILL TILL I SAID TILL hole 4each seedling with shovel&plant. MUST start seedlings in pots, bring thm outside sunny days starting mid Feb. tomatoes early spring squash.
Potting soil:
GATHERED UNDER MULCH = notoriously persistent. Can be made in1 season but will persist YEARS = DELETE FERTILIZER WORSHIP.
I feed my chickens whole fish &animals = entire pressure cooked deer road kill bone, hide, fur&all. I manure heavily fall but never spring 2fall.
You ALWAYS have plenty phosphorous bones u can pressure cook crush4gardn or burn wood stove.
WATER:
Yahweh quote WATER WILL BCOME THEIR MOST PRECIOUS COMMODOTY.
Build POND. Build DAMN. Cant use well water. Satan made people pile manure1 SPOT 1,000's years &these cmplete idiots bought it = poisons well water turns it brown. Well water never was never will be drinkable (in our present rusty society.)
Taste like barb wire toxic4humans &plants.
Spring (shallow) water yes. Its rainwater.
Satans tapwater terrible 4plant human.
Veggy gardnz a DEATH SENTANCE. PERIOD:
Yahweh will switch thseasons as judgement&punish earth with fierce sun &drought u must fall back on wild greens &foods.
Satan has u covered.
With his roadside lawnmowers &wildlife "conservationist" demon army.
Mowers ANNIHILATE edibles. All fruits greens grow only beside roads &open fields. With beavers gone = no (legitimate) productive fields. Only fields left are destroyed by Satans tare race demonic farmers who perpetuate hardpack water runoff.
(All water goes 2Satans underground bases under every city thats what gutters are4.)
Your welcome
I can see why that ram is so happy! Yee haw!!
Thank you for sharing . Very informative regarding what the farmers are going through to keep up maintaining their farm and why prices are so high.
I purchased eggs about two weeks ago and I was absolutely stunned by the price increase! They are reducing the amount of food we receive and jacking the prices sky high! Absolute madness!
It's called shrinkflation
Where ?
I paid $10 for pasture raised organic in August. My last egg purchase. My 3 hens (brahmas good to -25°F) started laying in December. I get 2-3 a day. The organic feed is #40/$65.
Nikiski Alaska.
stop complaining snowflake. Like President Biden repeatedly stated, over 81 million Americans voted for this agenda.
Today costco had no eggs
Chicago suburbs
Blessings to ALL of the farmers who work tirelessly to get the Lords bounty to our tables.
Amen to that!!
Thanks for the info! Interesting about the sheep and about the eggs. Also, if you haven't named the little lamb with the dark face, maybe you could call him Camo. It kind of looks like he has a camouflage pattern painted on his face.
People should be scrambling to come together in communities! Combine resources and secure water sources and start growing food together 👍💪🙏🏵️🤠 Much love to everyone and their families from Quartzsite Az USA currently 🤠🙏💪
I agree.
Yes, yes, yes.
Scrambling 🤣🤣 no pun intended
Yes!
Absolutely it would be a good way for churches to help each other as well. By growing their own food at the church, people can jump in and do the gardening. My only concern is theft
God bless all our farmers! I hope people realize how important they are!
I only buy from farmers market
Abigail seems to think so. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some people don't have a clue about farmers or farming. They think food will always be available in the store. Who needs farmers when you can just go to the store to buy what you need.
Absolutely! Farmers everywhere are striving to survive & our citizens are feeling that pinch every day as well. Prayers for all of us🙏🏼
90% should be farmer for a healthy society ..
In Wisconsin one to 3 yr old layer hens are selling between $40.00 to $30.00 each. People who have to buy the feed. Are not always able to get the feed needed. So they are stuck selling and butchering as much as needed before their feed runs out. In stead of leaving them starve in the winter. Hope that helps people realize the need to grow their feed. Thank you Doug and Stacy for sharing so much information. Much appreciated 👍 Sending virtual Granny hug's and prayers to everyone.
Always give a hug to Granny and sit down to listen about the old ways. Because Granny wants us to learn from the hard life they had to endure and that information will be coming in handy real soon.
@@cpp170 I can't really say I suffered through hard times, I paid attention to my Grandma explain All the hardships she over came, and a lot of her life they weren't hooked up to electricity, it was considered an unnecessary expense. She did well in the end, all her hard work paid off. I learned a lot from her, and 4 of my 12 grandchildren want me to write a book about it all gardening, raising animals and growing crops. I think those books are all ready written, just a matter of finding the good ones with details and read them. Thank you for your concern's.
That's crazy. Laying hens are still only $8 for younger here.
@@arizonabusinessleague918 lucky you. Well we do have our burrass cold winter's here. That slows up production.
@Renee Nelsen true. I'm in Southern Missouri now. I live in a homesteading county, many resources are therefore more abundant.
We moved to TN to get away from the busyness of city life in Michigan. The longer were here, the more we crave this lifestyle. Chickens and a large garden will be coming this year! We're glad you're helping to lead this movement
Sumner county here. What county you move to?
You didn't have to go to an entirely new state, should of just left Detroit or Grand Rapids. Rest of the state is suburban or rural lol.
@@youtubecensorship842 lot warmer in Tennessee. Plus the state is generally 65% conservative. No income tax
73, raised on a farm. Doug has a way with animals like my Dad did. It’s not an easy life, lots of hard work but if you love running your own business it’s very rewarding!! Blessings Doug and Stacy.
Thanks for sharing!
Something catches my chickens.I an building up my flocks.I had 2 little hen ,hatched last spring sat and hatch 13 mixed chicks,so I'm thankful that God allow this.
You are very right.
Eggs and Milk.......where would we be without em?
We tossed off the British to build this nation - we can surely shake off these parasites that encroach
I’m not in a situation to grow my own food, but I’m beginning to can vegetables to be better prepared. Prayers for the farmers who provide for us!
Much love to see real people exist in this world today!! Thank you for all you do!!!
I have, and still do, grow many veggies in containers. You'd be surprised at what you can grow in those.
Last year I grew corn..Yes CORN in a large pot. I got 12 delicious ears too. Also I'm growing garlic currently (they love cold weather). This year is green beans and more squash 😋
Sadly I now have e a cookyop stove in the place I bought. I have to get a separate hotplate and pressure cooker now so I am able to can vegetables again. I do make all my own jellies though. Tastes way better than store bought.
@Lotus Petal I'll never eat sprouts again. I got food poisoning from them.
A plastic container box can grow a heck of alot of zuccihinnis.. You be surprised what you can do without space, yard or even dirt. .... you can get it all..
❤❤❤ thank you just found your channel, you are right. I when to Save A Lot and 30 eggs were $9.99, my self and my young adult kids need help to be more sufficient and not depend on the stores to feed us. Thank you I’m so grateful.
I had no idea that it will now cost $25.00 to buy just one chicken. You are correct that we should be like our own grocery store! We should be self-sufficient and rely on ourselves on obtaining food for ourselves and our animals!!
HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT FARMERS. ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS FREIGHTEN YOU. IF YOU ARE RAISINH CHICKENS TEN YOUR COST FOR DOZEN EGGS FROM YOUR BACK YARD CHICKENS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN YOU THING. CHICKEN EGGS ARE EXPENSIVE FROM THE FOOD STORE AND 2X OR 4X THE COST OF YOUR CHICKENS OR YOU ARE LYING.
$25 A CHICKEN IS FOR A MATURE EGG LAYING CHICKEN. NOT A BEGINNERS CHICKEN.
You are right @thatguy-art6229 he is just trying to scare people. My husband has 4 chickens feeds them purina and gets 4 eggs a day. I’m surprised that purina has not filed a defamation suit!
@Busy Bee Farms SO? I do not remember what you are referring to - however maybe I am not in my right mind - or do not have the experience that you have. Anyway - Backyard chickens is not a subject that requires extensive experience.
Our chickens had 100’ by 300’ area to run, loved watermelon and cantaloupe rinds, potato peeling. They also got feed. My husband enjoyed his “girls” as he called them. They knew the sound of his pickup as he pulled into the driveway and would come running! They’re actually pretty smart.
Absolutely a smart bird my husband spoils his hens he goes in the run and they all want picked up and petted. He says happy birds lay better eggs
@@paulaharkleroad7708 Mine where the same. Pick me up Mommy, scratch me under my wings. I'd bring my folding chair in their pen and sit, they'd jump up on my lap. I called them my "Ladies". I wish I still had them. I had to move to another state and this city even though most of it is rural doesn't allow chickens- that's stupid.
Question, I saw potatoe peels. I thought that potatoes were not good for animals?
I think they do not supposed to eat raw potatoes or raw potatoes peels, just check
I call mine “girls” too ❤
I watched a young lady that did a video regarding the chicken feed. Her laying hens hadn't produced eggs for weeks, she changed to goat feed & they started producing eggs again.
It was Purina watch the story of why chicken`s stopped laying eggs, on Candace Owens on yt.
Someone else in uTube had a chicken that would escape out of the chicken enclosure and eat wild scratch. She started laying when the other grain fed chickens weren't. That's how that person let us know! Thank goodness we're paying attention!
@@andshewas296 It was also producer's pride (tractor supply) which is also made by Purina.
It was Tractor Supply, Pilgrims Pride feed!!
@@lmsmith6911 Producers Pride made by Purina and sold at Tractor Supply.
Bless you for giving away that Ford! I've decided to donate both my rigs to our local Union Gospel Mission, who fix and detail them and give them to needy families. I've grown tired of giving my belongings to nonprofits who turn around and charge an arm and a leg. So much that I refuse to shop there anymore.
I pray the Lord blesses you mightily as you represent Him in a wonderful way!
🙏💙🙏
Awww Ive never know how much care & attention is needed for animals. Also thank you so much for such priceless advice. Gid bless yall!!
"speckled and spotted sheep" were a blessing for Jacob. Name the little guy Jacob! I pray that I get to hold a lamb someday. On my bucket list.
I pray to see a lamb too! Lamb of god. (Jesus) what a great name...
I'd call the little fella "Johnny" after John Ram-bo. 😊
Lambs are wonderful.
When I was a kid I used to spend afternoons reading to the lambs and kid goats. They are so sweet n cuddly for the first month.
That's what I was thinking.
You all sound like sheep.
Texas here. We're paying $22 for 50lb sack of layer crumbles. I've been fermenting feed, free ranging, giving scraps and looking into growing fodder. Thank God the hens have been laying again. Thanks Doug for the information. Pray, Plan, Prep
$22 to $25 for same in Maine , God Bless!
Same here in Michigan grain is 19$ so I've been letting them free range until winter, save all our scraps and egg shells to feed them and I need to look into growing fodder.
With the LED grow lights in the 4’ sticks a couple of those on chains so you can drop and raise your light! Fodder or sprouting your seed and letting it produce it’s own additional mass… and that chlorophyll and other live or living nutrients!!! 👍😁❤️
Get in that fodder growing. You won't regret it.
Tractor supply has it for $11 a 40lb bag here in east Texas right now.
Just found you and I love what you guys are doing. I'm on the edge and want to be more self sufficient. My garden gets bigger every year but since both my husband and I work fulltime and overtime jobs we have trouble figuring out how to put more time into being our own store. But I think I would have to quit my job to do it.... just not sure yet.
So thankful for our little farmstead and for you guys to help show us the way to be self sufficient. Thank you guys
$25 a chick???? That’s Insane! I plan on using my incubator this year to hatch Ducklings. Thank you Doug for sharing.
I hate raising ducks, BUT they are the absolute best producers and the eggs are higher nutrition. Best bucks spent have been on the ducks food and shelter.
Love the chickens too ofcourse, but ducks are worth the time 10 fold.
I think he meant per whole cleaned chicken maybe?
Think he meant walkin around layers.
This is all crazy!!
City folk that want that country feeling think that price is good(?). How about those 3-4 hen chicken coops at TSC /Orshlen's that go for $400? Even at
$5/dozen that's 80 dozen eggs.
I have chickens and we had a broody hen that hatched 9 chicks this past October it’s amazing how the Lord provides! We are reviving the homestead that my wife grew up on and it has been very rewarding 80 acres in northern Michigan
Best of luck to you guys!!
My brother and I are reviving the homestead that our dad grew up on in South West Michigan. Also 80 acres. Good luck with your revival.
It is truly amazing how the Lord provides- Jehovah Jireh!
I just found you randomly and just wanted to say you are a breath of fresh air, thank you!! Going to go check out some of your other videos! 💕
Abigail is so precious! Love that you share your life with us! Sending much love and blessings your way! 🙏💞
Praying for all our farmers! 🙏🏽
Id suggest ALSO Pray for climate stability. In Ca this last month, due to the wild violent storms, we lost much of the entire winter's crops. Its going to hurt bad real soon.
@@darcyjane8031man made storms…
Cloud seeding and chem trails ruining our tomotoes.
all i have e to say it that you have no idea what you are talking about. Let me guess...you think Jewish Space Lasers cause the massive extremely destructive storms throughout the huge state of California. I LIVE here and saw it in person. If you actually believe that these storms a re man made..you have a much larger problem than the price of eggs.@@Blaze23557
@@cindycunningham9985 dont forget that Bigfoot stole the cabbages.
I tried, without success, to engage my neighbors with food concerns. Instead, my adult children and I will be forming a family "chicken club". They will help me raise even more chickens than I have now, by building a larger fenced-in pen for the chicken coop and purchasing feed. They get a dozen eggs whenever I have extra, now they want to come more frequently to get 2-3 dozen a visit. I am excited to enlarge the flock and to see my family more often.
We are looking to move to a farm. How did you find the right property?
I've been researching foraging and being more self sufficient and this was my first time seeing you. I appreciate the time you took to teach. Thank you.
💕 I love little Abby. As soon as Abby got up, the other little sheep went to his mom to eat. He wasn’t taking any chances on anyone getting his food! 😂
The tarp is a great tip for those that it applies. I live on a 150' x50' plot in Charleston, SC suburbia. I maintain a beautiful view for my wife out back across the marshes but I told her when it gets real bad I'm farming that too. We grow at least 60% of our veggies in pots and raised beds on the sunny side of the house and 15 -20 gallon pots out front. BTW I'm almost a cripple and I'm able to do it. Fight back, folks. You can do it. I DO!
Thank you for saying this, about to close on a few acres and hoping to grow our veg, too, but last time I did so I was 20 years younger and didn't have debilitating illness. So encouraging to read your words today, when I fight the thoughts of, "what am I THINKING?"
@@kimberlyh.284 Just keep fighting Ms. Kimberly. It's hard but it's healing. Man, it's hard. I just did some prep and planting today. I pray for you ma'am and that you may keep fighting.
@@kimberlyh.284 Bless you Kimberly, you can do it! Getting the first garden in is the hardest and I pray you will have numerous willing hands to help you especially at first!
Keep on keepin on !
Kimberly h. I feel the same way. Chronic pain and struggling with mobility because of a car accident makes me want to give up at times so the encouragement from others really helps.
I'm just a suburb guy who managed to get into the cut a while back before things got crazy. I've been slowly getting into self sustainability with a kick ass wood burner which heats 2000 Sq ft in a 1100 Sq ft house, chickens, and a garden every year with canning. I'm going to start raising chickens for a few extra bucks. It is so rewarding relying on yourself and only having to get a few things from town that are absolute necessity. I would like to go full on pioneer but it's a full time job and I currently need a job for the lame taxes and all. Survive and thrive folks.
What do the eggs taste like? Is it like the store? 😮
@@demonstration3662 Eggs taste like eggs. To me, the eggs taste a little better knowing they came from my chickens. Everyday they lay, every day I eat them. Nothing is better than a couple of hen laid eggs scrambled in a little bit of bacon grease.
Lost my dog to my neighbors stupid ass chicken keep. He attracted the mountain lions and my dog got killed.
The only way a small chicken coop is worth it is if your time is worth zero dollars per hour. Maybe this is changing now but only because there are even more stupid people ruining the world to the point where were we move back to the 1800’s.
@@E_Clampus_Vitus We we're never in the future as a society to begin with in regards to the progress of humanity. We are simply in a time that is furthering the progress of a select few at the cost of our labor and production. The convenience of going to the grocery and the like was that it was necessary for the Elite to allow us the pleasantries so that they get what they need out of us. Now that technology is on the brink of total automation with A.I driven production, humans are on the verge of being obsolete and what will the godly elite choose to do with us then? We only had good things because it was a means to an end.

New sub here. This video came up in my recommendations. Love the content and the mini concert at the end. Going off grid is my dream but it also scares me a little so I’ll be doing a marathon of your videos. Seems like a wealth of knowledge!
@ Off the grid with Doug and Stacey! I just watched your video, because of the warning concerning eggs??? Thank you, and Noah for the information about buying from TS. I have heard about the feed within the last 2 weeks! Thank you for sharing your lambs and also a little song for the folks listening! Great to hear about Stacey, and the deer! God bless you, and your Homestead!!!
We buy eggs from a local mini farmer. When we stop at the farmstand we enjoy watching happy chickens in the yard. They even come to greet the customers. This is part of the good life that so many folks rush around and miss. Thank you for sharing and encouraging us to explore the joys of a simpler life and it's health benefits.
pentopps- Yes, we buy organic eggs that are delivered to our farm at $4.00/doz. Check with your local Farm Bureau or County Extension Service. They should be able to recommend someone local for eggs.
I go to the farm to get my eggs, meat, and raw milk. Happy chickens running everywhere. Lambs and cows in the fields. Beautiful gardens full of organic produce. I love going to the farm every week not just for the food. 🥰
Don't tell to many. Government will shut him down its happening every where... keep your mouth shut and enjoy.
Most of our friends think we are nuts for moving to WV from Maryland, and we started a homestead. The goal is to be more self-sufficient. Started with bees, chickens, 5 raised bed gardens, and rabbits. The rabbits are just pets right now, but we can change that if need be. We are thinking about adding goats or a mini jersey cow this year. Blessings to you guys!
We will continue to look 'crazy' to those who are still deeply entrenched in the distortion. We're the ones who are in reality.

Am so excited about growing, preserving, and fermenting this year with the help of, for one, Stacy & Doug! We want to get quail soon.
just discovered your channel and I love it and I salute you, sir. born in missouri and moved east long time ago. keep up the good work, sir. from one pure blood to another, I hope we can weather this storm.
Great video! My husband and I also are very close to our Amish community. We help one another out a lot! The Amish are great teachers. I’m so thankful and blessed to have chickens. Our Kroger has 18 ct eggs for 7.99 I was floored and that made me even more thankful that I can share my bounty of eggs with my loved ones. God is good all the time...all the time God is good!
I suppose we use Egg Replacements when baking for sure....lots of videos out showing what they are.... one Blog did like 6 and only one was really good.....the other 5 things she made were just ok I assume...as she had her kids to taste test them.....I don't really care for eggs cooked anyways.....but for baking guess I'll find a replacement.........when I find one from someone who has made things and says it is good..... !!! everyone and their grandpa has answers for replacement but have they tried them all.....I need my info from someone I trust will be truthful .....Would love to hear Tracy's view on the Egg Replacement..... sure you have all the eggs she needs but she may want to try some things and do a video.....I'd love to see it......
Abigail is so sweet. And even your chickens have something to say about the situation.
What happened to Abigail's Mother..?
I personally think it’s ridiculous to be selling eggs for so much or anything for so much. How are single moms supposed to be able to afford food or single dads?
My daughter’s name is Abigail 😂
@@tricicaskelton367 Whats funny is there Is a commercial on the radio for child hunger and the boy says that we have so much food in this country ,that what we don't eat we just throw it out.Doesn't sound like a shortage to me.,does it..?
@@carlabuggs1238 John Adam's wife was named Abigail,Tell your daughter she was name for a historical person.
Love the tune!!🎉🎉🎉. I appreciate all the advice!!
Good info! How scary about the rising prices. Thanks for keeping us posted.
Our chicken feed in Oklahoma is $12 to $15 per 50lb bag. I am very Thankful to our local grocery store for letting us have all their throw out fruit and veggies. It helps a lot with the food cost.
Wow! I'm in southern oh down on the Ohio river, chicken feed here's went from $19.99 a 50lb bag to $24 a 50lb bag! It's crazy!
@gardener 67
27$ for 50 lb bag of organic layer pellets in Florida. I won't feed gmo corn or soy. Free ranging on the property helping weed around 57 fruit trees and eating bugs. I grow kale pumpkins and cukes are their favorites
Hit the restaurants for their kitchen and dining room scraps. When I had chickens, my 45 ( Fourty Five) hens and 9 muscovy ducks consumed $20 /MONTH in feed...2016-2021 when I was forced onto another path by Karen next door via Bylaw law breakers; scroll back in my videos if interested ) during the Lock downs that went up to $20/WEEK.
If the restaurants in your area use compost bins with bag in them you can simply pull the bag of food waste out before the dump trucks do. If they do not use bads in their bins, a flat shovel is the tool. I took my Gorilla cart with a tarp and straps on the city bus then went around on a route I developed to grab as much food as I could possibly pull back onto the bus.
It's $20.00 per 50 lb bag of dumor in NC at tractor supply
Arizona i just paid $31.99 for a 50lb bag of chicken feed!!
My chickens have come full circle. Last summer I gathered 16 chicken eggs and put them in an incubator. 11 hatched nd survived. Now 5 months old, there were 2 roosters which I processed and are in the freezer and the remaining hens are now laying 4-5 eggs a day. I feel like a true pioneer! Whoo hoo.
I tried to get my birds to incubate them but some the eggs kept going rotting n never hatching…..
That's wonderful!
@@blaccsilverstaff5484 key here...Broody Hen. Otherwise, just keep getting ur eggs.
@@mellyg8872 do they take care of other eggs too?

im 3 mins into this video and im in awe of everything at this point. im so intrested and intrigued by your knoweldge, kindness and keen awareness of whats going on.
Hi Doug and Stacy I can tell the babies are getting bigger.🙏💕👍 I paid eight dollars for eggs this morning but I’m supporting the farmers not the corrupts
I love my sweet girls. Got my first egg this morning. I find chickens so therapeutic. Better then watching a fish tank to calm you. Chickens are funny and smart. Thank you again Doug for sharing your life with us all. I'm praying.
Yeah, me too! They make me laugh.
@@luvfoto98 I love watching them run 😂
I just found your channel. Those lambs are adorable!! My vote for a name for the black faced one is Patches. So much great info. Thanks!
That’s the nice thing about not eating chicken or eggs. I am planting more and more and saving more food every year without sending anyone off to freezer camps. Healthy and happy cruelty free.
Whoever gets the truck, God bless you two for sharing your wisdom AND caring about us. The fact that you are GIVING AWAY a truck to someone/anyone shows how big your hearts are, and how much you do care about others, such a great standard to present to the public! Thank you, have a great day in the rain!!!
What is the giveaway for the truck....seems I missed it.....are you giving a new truck away ...or one that you have ? What video do we look for ?
I love the one you did on the Stripper , I can not believe that Co. would allow that ???...Did Twitter remove it ? Not suppose to be like that now since Elon Musk bought Twitter..... !!! Odd I did not hear anything on any news....period just saw it on your video !! 1/19/23
I live in Kentucky and today Jan 19th I bought Chickens at Rural King for almost $400 / chick because it was cheaper to buy eggs than feed them but now it seems to have flipped so I hope people buy some ASAP before the prices get stupidly high 😳
@@meleamodica5568 did you really mean 400 dollars a chick?
I also have to say I’m blessed to have inherited our family farm, I’m 4th generation, it’s in the trust to go to our 3 daughters and then to their kids!! We meet regularly at the farm have tons of fun, had the Amish build us two pole barns. They both have kitchens, mine has the cabinets from the farm house and lots of barn wood on the walls including 3 large barn doors off the old barn, antiques on shelves and walls. I teach the grandkids about farm life and tell them how lucky they are to someday have this 116 acre farm!! In Michigan
I couldn't get the Amish to even fix my barn. They said they only do roofs, sheds, some renovations. My barn collapsed. :/ Western NY. 😠
You are all truly blessed. ❤🙏
@@cowgirl4Christ63 Thank you, even though I own the farm I have told our girls and the grandkids to call it “ our family farm, not nanas farm”. They will have more respect toward it.
Thank you for the good advice! The young ram looks like a Rambo!!
@@theresam567 Why is it their responsibility to fix it and how was it their fault it fell down?If you didn't contract someone else to fix it then its on you.Dont mean to sound harsh especially not knowing the situation.You may be elderly and with little money an just needed a little help in that case I'm sorry you couldn't get anyone to help you out.But bitterness and anger only harms you.Really really unhealthy.Let go.Forgive and forget and always try to put yourself in the shoes of the other party.And try to decipher why they act or reacted like they did.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you do 🙏
Your chuckle is very sincere. I can tell you are a genuine person and thanks for your information
Your baby ram is adorable ♥️ Doug hiding and then running away from Abigail was hilarious, just like a momma would do ♥️ Doug is a good shepherd 🐏
Oh my gosh, the lambs are so darling! I love the markings on the little guy’s face! ❤
Yes no way could I send that boy to the freezer camp! He’s adorable!
That’s what I was thinking! LOL I would be the worst at dealing appropriately with a bummer ram! Sweet little guy!!
Totally impressed how you treat and keep your animals!!!
Have subscribed...
Cheers from Outback Australia. (Rolf)
I love watching Abby eat! Tails wagging are definitely a good sign lambs, calves, piglets, and puppies too! God bless you two!
Thanks Doug glad your mom's ok🙏 we free range, give scraps, give them crushed baked egg shells, and fermented feed. It helps make the feed last longer. Thanks for always lookin out for us! God Bless🙏
My husband has always complained about our roo who sometimes crows in the middle of the night and makes us get up to make sure there are no coyotes on the property… but we never find anything about. He has said many times that we should not have a rooster. I’m so glad that I talked him into keeping him! ❤ Homegrown chicks are the sweetest!!
Roosters beat up the hens. I’d keep an eye on him:
Roosters will crow in the middle of the night but not when a predator is harassing them.
I have had my chickens for about a year and they are an absolute joy🥰
Watch rooster!
If your coyotes are anything like ours YOU’LL HEAR THEM!!
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us! It was very helpful!! May God keep blessing you & your family!
I seriously love your video's!! You and Stacy have been a wonderful inspiration for us!!! Thank you!!
We recently paid $20 each for two new layers for our flock. They started laying within three weeks. We keep eight hens at a time. The upside is that we didn't have to have the new ones in a brooder or buy chick feed for them and they started laying pretty quick.
Poults begin laying around 5-8 months. Egg production drops off pretty quick after 18 months of age. That's when egg production facilities send them off to the dog food factory. Leghorns are the king of egg production but are worthless as a meat bird.
Runner ducks are better layers than chickens and Courtinex quail lay daily beginning at 8 weeks of age.
@@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 but home raised pastured chickens lay eggs for years
@@pamelak7924 production still drops off. It's just that suburban "farmers" view their livestock as pets and continue to feed them at an even greater financial loss as in input/output vs return gain/loss.
@@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 true,but raising your own you often (yearly) add to your stock
To keep production up
@@pamelak7924 I raise dual purpose hens like road island reds and black australaps. After 24 months they become supper.
It's more critical than ever to be as self sufficient as possible.
This will take perseverance. 😊
SELF SUPPORTING ON A BACK YARD FARM IS NOT POSSIBLE. GO AHEAD AND DO THE MATH.
Was not expecting the Jumper lyrics. 😁 My fiance and are trying to get our homestead started in the next several months once he is home. Love hearing about the upcoming hardships we can begin planning and preparing for.
Hi Doug & Stacy ! I just wanted to let you know that I watch your videos all the time, but it’s usually on my tv and I find it very difficult to leave a comment, so I’m making a comment on my phone since it’s so hard to do it on my tv , but I love all that you’ve done in the time since I first saw your videos till now & I see your really true to what you’ve said all along and it’s a real blessing to us all that you’ve shared all you both have learned and shared with us all! Thank you so much for doing all that you do!! I’m sure Gods smiles for all that you’re doing!
“Finding a dozen eggs was like winning the jackpot in Vegas!” 😆 Love it! 💕
Thank you for sharing with us.
God bless you both. 🙏
I love Doug's humor in all this madness!! It's so encouraging to be a part of this group where there's a lot of like-minded folks.
The sheep and lambs are so precious! The male lamb reminds me of the story of Jacob and how he grew his flocks with the striped and speckled sticks. Being a shepherd has to give you insight into Ps. 23. Thanks and God bless!
The sheep are precious 💞
Do you know if they are going to be slaughtered?
Raising sheep in light of God's Word really shows us why God refers to us as "sheep."
This channel is INCREDIBLE! How am I jsut now finding it
God bless y'all for all that you do. We need more people like y'all in this world.
This is why Im still following you guys, because of your philosophy. Self sufficiency is not relying on a store, even the farm store! I love this channel.
Thank you!
I feel like I’m living like a king right now with our own chickens and eggs!
Love the advice on sheep, you are a true shepherd with those lambs. Wish we had more room to get a few ourselves.
Thank you for your sharing your thoughts and experiences on farming.
Thank you soooo much for sharing this info. For us non-farmers, your information is helpful..
I was just in the grocery store last week and regular large eggs was $5+ a dozen. It made me thankful my girls are laying eggs. The Bible warns that one day a loaf of bread will be a day's wages. Learning to produce your own food is one of the most important thing you could learn and teach your children
Yes, that’s disturbing. To think that a whole days wage to buy one loaf of bread, wow.
You know with things going this way I can’t help but think we must be nearing the Day of the Lord. I pray so.
At least there were eggs. The store here has had no eggs at all 3 out of 4 visits in 3 weeks.
wish I could have chickens again
@@atc2where What state? I’ve read that several times lately. People don’t realize, eggs are in EVERYTHING. It will drive prices of ALL groceries up sky high. As if they weren’t already with the price of meat going out of control.
I absolutely Love your videos!! At 77 years old now and a widow I am so grateful to get to enjoy watching all your beautiful animals! Born and raised on a farm I feel like I am back home when I watch you. My dream is that God will bring a miracle for me that I will end up with someone who has a homestead and can live out my years having a few chickens, the same breed of goats you have and plant a wonderful garden etc. I did register for the beautiful truck you will be giving away as I will certainly be in need of one. I’ve given it all to God and if it is to happen it will. He has seen me through a lot in my lifetime including stomach cancer and I pray one of my remaining life purposes will include loving and taking care of a few of his beautiful animals. May God continue to watch over you and Stacy and your family. You are truly awesome people who make this world a better place. All my Love Grammie Suzie from Bradenton Fl. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
I would Love. to talk about your wholesome simple living memories. preserve it. 🍃T🍃Tree
Great to read your comments on this site. Also love the videos. They are a bright spot in any day. See you are in the Bradenton area. Have never been to Florida, but know something of the area since that's where my granddaughter and her family moved from N/W PA. Good luck to you.
God Bless Susie and hear her beautiful prayers, in Jesus’ Name, Amen
Nowadays, with FEMINISM, the woman can accuse the man of wrongdoing and take the farm away from him. I tell all men NEVER let a woman live with you. The women have changed the laws and now it's not worth it.
Bless you Suzie. May your dream come true. I am seeing this in my head. See it happen. It will happen. Where are you Suzie? I am in DFW and farm in Corsicana.
🎶 "Cut ties with all the lies that we've been livin in" 🎶 Thank you so much for blessing others with generosity, caring for your animals & great tips on living a country home lifestyle~* 👍
Thank you all for all of the great information.
Your ram, I believe, is named Ashes. Looks like he was playing in an ash bucket. 👍
I love that name :) Ashes suits him
So glad that all of my neighbors have chickens and we all share our harvests for the year. I couldn't afford it otherwise. It's getting crazy.
Im so glad I stumbled on to your videos! My husband and I are trying to become more self sufficient and it can be very daunting and overwhelming!
IT IS EXPENSIVE TO GET ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED. BUT DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS. LOOK IT UP FOR YOURW3LF. FROM SOMEONE WHO LEGIT SELLS YOUNG ANIM;S = A LOCAL FEED STORE
Thank you for the heads up! We are hoping to get chickens soon. We appreciate all the information!
I love my daily Easter egg hunts with my kiddos, it makes me so grateful for what God gives us and appreciate the harvest more than what I ever did before having our animals. So peaceful in the midst of the busy world around us to stop and take in the beauty of nature. I always enjoy seeing your beautiful homestead and inhabitants, thank you for sharing! Uncle Doug you have an “unusual” and hilarious way of delivering the truth people need to hear that makes me smile 😊 thank you
Me too! I always tell our chickens, "thank you for the eggs!'
Totally believe it. It's only unbelievable for those not paying attention and learning all they can from folks like you and Stacy. This is a war between good and evil. This is the realest, most dangerous situation anyone could ever be a part of. Thank you for your help in preparing for the inevitable. All my love and prayers for you and yours, always 💙
Good info! Thanks for taking time to share!
Thank you for your video. You give me hope for the future knowing there are people like you out there passing on basic skills.
My father made sure we had two "caves" and a cistern put in at our acreage. We had a large vegetable garden, which we canned enough for the winter. We didn't raise livestock for food, but his cousins did and would share. My father was raised by his Mennonite grandfather and we learned some of the old ways. Especially since they lived through the great depression. I have learned many food saving skills from my family. For that, I am thankful when times get tough.
I used to live near a mennonite community and they sure seem to know how to be self sufficient. This was back in the late 1980's before cell phones and there was only landline phones. Their church wouldn't let them have a phone in their home, so they would have a pay phone installed outside their farms on the county dirt road right of way. They also wouldn't allow them to have cars or pickups, but they would allow tractors, so they used tractors for transportation, along with using them for farming. I dated a girl whose Mother was a mennonite and when she was a teenager she was caught sneaking off into town to watch a movie with friends. She was bannished from the church and family and never saw her parents again. It was sad, they treated her like a stranger that they never knew.
@Lisa Stevens Why do you write everything in the past time? It means you don't have caves and cistern at your acreage; do you have acreage? What happened to the inheritance your hardworking, wise ancestors built for you?
(there's no hard feelings in my post, just plain curiosity. I am studdying the Old Ways of surviving, bc my revolutionary ancestors left me nothing & learnt me nothing of that kind; only how to kill the king and how to pretend that you're armed while escaping from the site)
Exactly = Learn from the depression era folks! My grandparents are all gone so I got back to eden & Native American herbs & planting in my area along with books on what ppl did during the depression and what happened then too. I think it’s best to Learn as much as I can from his/her story!
GREAT VIDEO YOU HAVE THE LIFE!
Our chickens are a critical part of our farm...couldn't do without their eggs...hope to have meat birds as well soon. We are able to share eggs with friends...such a blessing! The powers running this world are increasingly evil. Thank you for all the info you supply us with. I've been away for a couple of days with Flu...yuck! Missed Stacy's birthday...trust it was a good one!
Yup. J Edgar Hoover was asked why he created files on all the people of power? He said there exists an evil in charge, and the Americans are good hearted so they could never imagine the depths of evil they want to bring on the eorld.
Now we see he was right.
We've had chickens for years and started raising meat birds about 15 years ago. Invested in a Yardbird plucker 5 or 6 years ago - wish we had done it years earlier. My advice - get the plucker as soon as you can (Watch places like Tractor Supply for out of season sales). It made processing so much easier and faster.
Stop selling farms to bill g@tes
We are new at this and I want to thank you for sharing your videos and thoughts about this
Thank yall for all yall do ...I run a small town garden center and nursery and I am daily passing on the knowledge to my locals thanks to yall ...keep up the good work and God bless yall
ANOTHER SOURCE OF Bad information.
I love how you emphasize on doing what’s best for you and encourage that for the rest of us!
I’m so glad I listened to my gut and got chickens started last year! I felt an urgency to get them and I started my first batch in the incubator before we even had a coop but it worked out so great! We have our coop up and our flock is laying now and we just started our first batch from our own chickens in the incubator this week. Now we only pay to feed them and I plan to hatch out a batch per month so I can sell chicks this spring. It’s also good that I know plenty of people with chickens and fertilized eggs. We all help each other out around here so we don’t need to rely on the big box stores. The ones who already have laying hens going are ahead of them game. I urge anyone who hasn’t started with them yet to just buy an incubator and find a family member or neighbor with chickens who has fertilized eggs. They are worth their weight in gold right now!
The only issue is what to do with all the roosters. Some folks don't like the killing part. I incubated 13 eggs last spring. 10 roosters! Worst hatch ever.
We processed two roosters and the third we re-homed to a chicken farmer. We aren't really set up for processing chickens. I can do it if I have to but definitely don't like it. We have 6 hens right now planning on getting more in the spring
Congratulations for the good work ! it's very inspiring.
Wow. I enjoyed this. Wish I had you space and knowledge!!
My husband and I always pay attention to you and Stacey. Thanks for all the info you're sharing!! Appreciate yal so much!!
FYI, tell Stacy she doesn’t talk up her chocolate tea and diffuser enough! I finally had some this morning and it smelled like warm chocolate chip cookies. Tasted like chocolate too of course without the sugar😋
Awesome
God bless you&your family! I just love your wonderful personality! Thank you for all the tips😊
