    Thanks Becky. While I don’t have chickens now, I am trying to get as much information as possible. Maybe in the Spring I’ll get a few. I remember you said 1 per family member to start.

    • @BeckysHomestead
      @BeckysHomestead  3 года назад +1

      Yes, that is my advice to people. Start small and get that going well. You can always add more later. Trust me, It is much better to have 3, 4 or 5 hens laying like crazy, than to have 20 that barely lay because they are crowded, stressed, fighting and sick.☀️❤️☀️

  • @nathanielanderson4898
    @nathanielanderson4898 3 года назад +5

    I made the mistake of feeding my hens organic Chia seeds.
    They are really happy.
    But they don't let me get away without their seeds.

    The kibble will also help young layers start laying sooner and increase production in older hens.I have added cheap dog food many times to raise egg production in my birds.

    • @BeckysHomestead
      @BeckysHomestead  3 года назад +3

      The key is the meat. Hens need a little meat every day to lay steady. Grain free Cat kibble has more meet than dog food☀️❤️☀️

    • @nogames8982
      @nogames8982 2 года назад

      Just feed grower feed too all your chickens no matter what their age. Don't bother with layer feed at all. Just have some oyster shell on the side. Much much easier. I only feed the baby chicks chicks starter for about as long as it takes to go through 5 pounds of it. Then there onto the grower feed for the rest of their lives.

    Whole corn - that gizzard is a pretty amazing organ, as long as they can get some grit in it.

When I order your book on Amazon, could I send it to You with a self addressed envelope so You can Autograph it and send it back to me and my kids? They would love it. Thank you again for sharing your life experiences with us all. Stay safe. Much respect to you and your family.

    @steph6337 3 года назад +2

    Becky, do you have a video on roosting? My chickens are 10 weeks old. I have a cabana type coop with many roosting bars are various heights and shapes/thicknesses. I go out every night and have to physically pick them up to a roost or ledge. They have yet to do it on their own. Instead they nest down on the floor in a pile in the corner (8 of them). What should I do?

    • @BeckysHomestead
      @BeckysHomestead  3 года назад +3

      Nothing, just wait they are still little. Seems they like the warmth and security of a pile. Give them a chance to grow up a bit more. Don't rush things☀️❤️☀️

    Love all the advice. Making soap today as a matter of fact. I have to watch the kids when they come over, occasionally one of my gallons disappears. LOL I have looked all over and can not find anything labeled cat kibble. I know it is probably something I am not understanding. Is there something in particular I should be looking for?

    • @BeckysHomestead

    One thing I notice when feeding our chooks is when we give scraps (salad, roast vegetables, meat etc) is that they don’t eat anything green. Even when feeding a food that comes in a variety of colours, they will avoid the green food. Why is this? Can they not see the green food, and it just looks like grass? Tyyy for any thoughts 🐓
