Becky... I just want to say thank you! I have spent DAYS (like all day every day) trying to learn about chickens on YT. I considered myself to be well armed with information until I saw your videos. You really know your stuff lady! Thanks for sharing all the little things us noobs really need to know. :)
I like to come and visit this channel because Becky lives in the country and has chickens. I can always learn something from anybody. I just watch and listen make considerations and make my decisions from what I observe from everyone. This is a cool channel I like it.
PLEASE do not take this wrong, but your videos make me laugh. I love watching your content cause it's real and you leave those funny little moments. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻
***** sad to hear that because she is teaching wrong!! Better find someone else especially if you are listening to her about your animals!! TRUST ME, do some research and you will find out what I am saying is true!!
Wow! Totally admire YOU Becky....Not just about the chickens, but also your enthusiasm and skills. I really appreciate the way you explain everything, step by step; And you built your own cabin???? OMG! from city chica going country!!!
Luv your nest box totes! When I use 2x4s with chickens I always position the board on its wide side. Up here in N. IL my chickens roost on the flat side of the board and settle down and cover their feet. Keeps their feet nice and warm in winter :) but also its less stress as well! Really enjoy your videos Becky!
My hens STOPPED laying about 2 months ago. Before it really got cold. I didn't know what to do. I watched how Becky fed her hens and tried it. Still nothing for about 2 weeks. Then. LOL Now I am getting 6-8 eggs a day from my 14 different type hens. Thanks Becky!
I built the TOTE boxes that you showed on another video. I noticed that the boxes are more stable and are easier to clean if you flip them upside down. Then, you can just snap off the bottem to clean. Thanks for your videos, Becky. YOU are my pioneer hero and I look foreward to your videos!
Becky, I just found your channel and boy am I jealous! If I wasn't a sick lady I think I would do exactly what you are, no, I know I would. Great job on everything!! Love your channel.
I love this video! I used to keep chickens. I miss them. I didn't eat them but I did like watching them do their thing! Mine were free to roam and have fun. It was all fine...until...the MASSACRE.
That's a great idea about putting a backboard behind the roost so they feel secure. I'd also add some extra steps so they don't have to hop up so high- this will be important as they age.
A lot of times they won't lay because they are not happy with there nesting, most likely the younger chickens will sleep on the new perch and of course they always need plenty of food ,thanks Becky I knew most of this stuff but I like the video :) thanks Becky
You can also paint the inside of the coop with a limewash. We have never had problems in our coops and we freshen it with homemade limewash. It makes the coop look great and keeps the bugs at bay! ~Ranger Hill Honey Farm
Hey this is a hairstylist, quick tip, you have wavy/curly hair try to never brush your hair when it is dry it just creates frizz. Try to practice wet styling! Oh and I love what you are doing, it’s so inspiring to see a woman who has built her life with her own two hands!
Becky, thank you... I have taken your advice on a lot of things! The way you grow your potatoes... Brilliant..... I've done as you've said and mine are growing better than the five gallon bucket idea or the dog food bag idea! So I'm going to try this with my chickens. And people if you don't like her suggestions (yes suggestions) they are not mandates lol. Then move on but don't be negative.
I'm a new subscriber, Becky. I came across your channel when a rooster showed up in my yard and decided he wanted to stay. I grew up with chickens and have always wanted some as an adult but never thought I lived on property that could sustain them. After watching lots of backyard chicken videos, I decided I COULD have chickens on my one acre lot. So I purchased 3 hens for my rooster and am currently building a chicken coop for them and have ordered a large chicken run for them. I'm so excited to be able to have chickens and your videos are very informative and helpful to me as a new chicken owner. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into making your videos to help those like me. I LOVE your channel and your story is so inspiring and admirable.
I have 30 hens all laying well so far away out in Northern Ireland countryside. Great advice Becky love the videos. We have family in Georgia and love the countryside over there to.
Our chickens just would not lay so we talked to the lady that sold us the chickens and she told us to sprinkle some cayenne pepper on their food. It worked perfect and it is now winter and they are still laying. Just wanted to tell you this interesting tidbit.
you shouldn't make your chickens lay in winter. Its not healthy for them. They need a break just like any other animal.IF you notice a tapering off of eggs avoid forcing them back into production. Also lights in the coop at night can trick them into maintaining summer production.
I have watched your many videos and those are very helpful. I have just started backyard chicken coop about few weeks back. Your videos are helped me in many ways. Thanks alot.
Just the information I needed to solve the problem.. thanks so much for your very informative video, lets hope it solves the egg shortage on our farm here in Australia.
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Adopted two chickens myself who live in my backyard + eglu, and I keep learning things from your video's. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Hi Becky, I've learnt a lot from your videos. I just made a video showing my first chickens ever!! I'm so excited about it. Thanks for all your great info.
If it were me, I'd (first) install the 2x4 flat side up so the chooks can sleep on their feet, keeping them warmer at night. I'd also replace the branch with a 2x4 for the same reason. I would also (second) install a second feeder instead of increasing the work to be done each week. And (third), I would never, ever use diatomaceous earth anywhere around my chooks. If you read the directions on the DE container, you'll see that you are supposed to wear a mask when handling it. That is to protect you from the possibility of getting a respiratory infection. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Don't use it around your chooks either because it will give them a respiratory infection. You can count on it. I generally like your videos and I am a subscriber but I just had to mention these three things. Thanks for listening.
Becky, you have a great personality!!!! I enjoy watching your videos. I'm learning a lot about chickens, bees, and gardening, etc. I love animals and being outdoors!!!
Hi Becky ! I absolutely enjoy your videos. I lv your lifestyle and determination to live it. I have also been living on a farm in an RV for 5 years now. I have chickens an think they are the cutest creatures ever. Thank you for you posts Anita
You are literally the cutest! I found your videos a few weeks ago when I got my first flock of chickens and I had to subscribe because I keep "consulting Becky" when I have questions hahaha :) Love the videos and I absolutely love your spunky personality!
Here in Tipperary,Ireland,we kept Rhode Island Reds. The younger hens were called pullets and ,of course,all were given names! By the way,another way to encourage egg production is to just warn them,unless they up production, they will end up in the oven!!
I can't believe some people are so rude! I love your videos and tell others about them too. I'm learning with you and if this is your remedy with your chickens it's fine with me.
Hi Becky I want to thank you for all the great information you share with all of us, is been helping me so much my young hens are laying eggs out of control I when for one egg to number four today. Thanks happy holiday
You seem to have soo much fun. It makes me appreciate and want to work harder in my large backyard, even though it is in the city. Thanks for your videos
Thank you Becky. I appreciate your videos. Please keep on, keeping on, your video made some valid points, some comments here were valid too, what some folks fail to realize this is a journey. What you know today is different than what you knew last year or the year before and next year God willing you will know even more. Folks should check the time stamps on videos before lashing out, and no sane person is going to take one single video and use it as their only reference. We are community sharing information and it is possible to do that in a caring way. Thanks again for your info. Stay Blessed
Hi Becky....You have been so valuable to my new little flock...yes, very little flock. I only have two hens and a rooster. The hens were going wild laying eggs. I was getting 12 eggs a week just from these two cuties. However, over the past week and a half, Blackie stopped laying eggs and she looks a little slimmer. I'll try some of your suggestions. I'm going to subscribe to your channel.
Hi Becky, took your adi n got black astrolorps. So excited cause always wanted. I saw top 10 chicken mistakes from You later doing research. Oops! Got mid of February n just moved them out today and they are so happy. Thanks Becky!
Thank you so much! I am new to all this and it has been a great help. We retired to the mountains and on a tight budget, so NEED to get chickens. Next spring tackle the larger garden. Thanks again. JO
Becky thank you so very much for uploading this video clip. After obtaining a couple of hens who laid every day then suddenly stopped. Yes they molted so we thought it was just that? But they didn't return to egg laying. After watching this video and another one you uploaded regarding their diet. I tried everything you suggested and it has obviously worked. Yesterday and again we have nice big eggs from one hen and looking forward to the other laying again real soon as well. Thank You.
Thanks Becky! My hens will soon have a perch, I'll clean the nesting boxes tomorrow and put in new straw and hopefully the organic laying mash will arrive at the feed store and I can get them back on their regular diet.
I added an extra roost and went from 3 to 4-5 eggs per day. Great channel. Thank you!!
hey, how are u doing?
Becky... I just want to say thank you! I have spent DAYS (like all day every day) trying to learn about chickens on YT. I considered myself to be well armed with information until I saw your videos.

I just love you Becky ... You make me chuckle. Chickens have such personalities .... ❤️
That's a great idea about putting a backboard behind the roost so they feel secure. I'd also add some extra steps so they don't have to hop up so high- this will be important as they age.
Good job lady. I'm going to try and do all three. You were the first video I watched about my issues. Thanks.
Are you having trouble laying eggs, Bill? 🤣 I'm just trying to be funny. 😉
A lot of times they won't lay because they are not happy with there nesting, most likely the younger chickens will sleep on the new perch and of course they always need plenty of food ,thanks Becky I knew most of this stuff but I like the video :) thanks Becky

I just love your youtube channel. I think hgtv or tlc should've made a show about your adventures from the beginning. It would've been a top show.
Becky, thank you... I have taken your advice on a lot of things! The way you grow your potatoes... Brilliant..... I've done as you've said and mine are growing better than the five gallon bucket idea or the dog food bag idea! So I'm going to try this with my chickens.

I agree with you Ms. Alvare. If someone doesn't agree with her videos, by golly just move along. smh

LOL
evone kent and the other hand I don't know
Cayenne definitely worked for me too. I added about a tablespoon to their feed, which holds approx 1 gallon of food.
Becky and son, thank you all for sharing. Blessings !
After the intro I immediately had to stop the video and subscribe, amazing! 👏
I am so glad I found your videos Becky look forward to watching them

Put in their feed, it makes a great wormer, plus dusted on them, it gets rid of mites.
How about pumpkin seeds for worming chickens?
are you into this poultry business? please contact me daudamammah1@gmail.com

Gee Becky, thanks for the cliff hanger...did the additional perch ans extra food bring back the egg production assembly line?
Hi Becky....You have been so valuable to my new little flock...yes, very little flock. I only have two hens and a rooster. The hens were going wild laying eggs. I was getting 12 eggs a week just from these two cuties. However, over the past week and a half, Blackie stopped laying eggs and she looks a little slimmer. I'll try some of your suggestions.

Enjoying your videos. Will be homesteading soon, and appreciate the information you provide.
Great video Becky! very professionally put together with great information and very well presented :)
Enjoying your content and humor. My Becky
Great vid, Becky. I'd suggest that you place the 2x4 roost with the wide side (4" side) up.
Hi Becky, took your adi n got black astrolorps. So excited cause always wanted. I saw top 10 chicken mistakes from You later doing research. Oops! Got mid of February n just moved them out today and they are so happy. Thanks Becky!
OMG, I just love your theme song!
I missed living in the country side back in Malaysia. City life really worn me out.

Becky thank you so very much for uploading this video clip.
After obtaining a couple of hens who laid every day then suddenly stopped.
Yes they molted so we thought it was just that?
But they didn't return to egg laying.
