      ReWild Your Life the government doesnt want you to know how to survive on your own without them. They want your tax dollars and want you working for them in this sysytem working paycheck to paycheck to collect your income taxes. This is why you never see shows like this on tv. They want to own and control you...

    I just love your homestead. You are an amazing woman. I like the part where you say your chicken likes to dig everywhere she sees you digging, but you put up with it because you love her. My dog does the same thing.
    I live in Florida also. I have had no luck with my fig trees. My sister said you need to plant them next to a fence or house because they do not like standing out in the open. If you get lots of figs, please invite me over and show me how to make fig preserves.

    Thank you so much for all of your help, Becky! My fiance and I actually first started watching your videos only a couple weeks ago, but we've both been hooked ever since. We are working on our tiny "homestead" at the moment, and by that I mean we have chickens for eggs and are starting a garden this spring. In another year, we will move from our rental and purchase land of our own so that we can build a cabin on it. From there, we'll be extending what we've got by adding more chickens, gardening more, and getting horses and goats for dairy. Well, that's the plan anyway. Thank you again Becky! We just love your videos and your inspiration that you give us every time we tune in!

  • @originalsupermommy
    @originalsupermommy 10 лет назад +2

    I know why the chicken follows you while you dig, she is hoping to find some insects. My mom is a cockatiel breeder and I used to have a chukkar partridge, he would follow her around when she cleaned the nest boxes. The chukkar was first in line to snag any grubs that were in the soggy bedding that was being scraped out. Chickens love picking through compost too!

  • @kevinbaker6168
    @kevinbaker6168 8 лет назад +37

    Nice little homestead Becky. One tip; if you have room rotate where your hog pen is, and use it for a garden space. The hog droppings will fertilizer the soil, and if you let it sit idle for a couple of months between the last hog and planting the hog manure and straw will compost into the soil and only need tilling with a small tractor or rear tine tiller.

    • @SR-iy4gg
      @SR-iy4gg 7 лет назад +5

      I wouldn't use hog manure in a garden. Their droppings are very likely to be filled with harmful worms. They do not get killed in the digestive system of the pig.

    • @loriknoell9432
      @loriknoell9432 7 лет назад +2

      Maybe she needs a couple of cows. The milk is great for making butter and then the droppings are good for fertilizer.

    Being raised on a small homestead farm we raised and killed our own hogs. Its just a lifestyle as much as disc golf or Starbuck divas that i cant understand but i cant knock them. Its their choice. We did make every effort to dispatch the pig as humanly as possible. Its not like we went out and emptied a clip into the animal. One clean shot to brain. He is passed before he can blink. I cleaned and handled the carcass with care and heart knowing it fed us.

  • @mickeyauthement6898

    If you clip one wing of the chickens they wont fly over your fence. This does not hurt the animal as you are only cutting the tips of the feathers.

It can be tough to keep up all the chores, run a household and work if it is not set up right. Our biggest tip is ensuring you can water everything easily.

    I appreciate your sharing of your chosen lifestyle. My husband and I (ages 63 and 69) grow much of our own food in a large vegetable garden, keep chickens for eggs and manage a 5-acre wooded property in SW Michigan. I know just how much physical labor it is to build, grow and maintain this type of lifestyle. Even cooking from scratch three times a day takes time. I learned a lot from your explanation of why you have your pens and pastures in a row with fencing back to back. Smart! I do find it interesting that predators do not get through that fencing with large holes. The raccoons would have our chickens in a heartbeat here. One question: with your animals that close to your home do you have nasty smells when you sit on your porch, or are you downwind? Looking forward to seeing more videos.

They can't seem to get their balance when trying to fly, so they can't fly more than two feet up. The feathers will grow back eventually.

    When we find a chicken that seems to be flying out of the pen, we would clip the wing feathers on one side! They can't get the lift they need to get over the fence. Google it to see how to do it! I love your set up.

    you know I applaud people who choose to homestead and free themselves from the burden of the rest of the world.. Im just curious what are your plans for when you can no longer do the things you need to do to keep up with chores? (health wise I mean)

    Animals that naturally are in groups should not be kept on their own. Pigs are group animals and keeping one on its own is cruel. All animals should be treated equally, with compassionate loving kindness, and a part of that is to make sure that their social interactions are as close to what they are naturally in the wild as possible.

      Yeah I agree with this. This homestead looks great but it breaks my heart to see the pig without friends of his own kind. They really need company to be healthy and happy.

    keeping the chicken koop is a bad idea a mobile one is best you can build it anysize but it can be moved every few days thay way the ground does not get time to get contaminated by over useage and chicken droppings you can find instructions on you tube thanks for making a live much simpler also aquaponics is a great way to also add fish and increse your garden yeald by about 20-40 fold

    Oh Becky... I'm liking what I see here.
    There are so many criticisms.
    What you are doing is buying feed and grain and therefore it is coming from an outside source. You are bringing it onto your land, feeding your animals and they are rewarding you by peeing and pooping all over the place! Awesome, they are not returning nutrients back to the soil, you are doing something better here... stick with me... you are taking an outside source of nutrition and building up your soils! That is fantastic! Few people in the world are investing in their futures and their children's futures in such a way that makes good sound sense. Two things... I saw this video on RUclips I think the guy's name was Rob and I think he was in Australia. Because his chickens quickly overgrazed the space he had for them he built a frame with a hinged top covered with hardware cloth (um close squares so the chickens couldn't get through it. He'd throw down some grains a mix of wheat, timothy hay seed, rye, etc. and he would grow it under the frame when it started poking out through the top he opened the frame and let them have at it. It was a brilliant way to offer them natural grains and grasses (the sort you'd plant a field with if you wanted to hay your land and it lowered his feed costs because that seed is very cheap as a rule. Since he was growing it in the chicken coop they fertilized it themselves every time they got on top of the frame, of course you may have to water it a bit . And by god shake that brown thumb thing...lol... its all about the soil and how healthy it is. This is no good for your ego...lololol... of course this is an old video hopefully by now you are grabbing the manure and composting it and spreading it and using the compost in your garden. If something won't grow it is NOT your fault. it's because we are abusing our soils and taking and taking and taking and not returning nutrients to it!!! This is a vid from 2013 by now you have done extensive work amending the soils simply because you keep farm animals and your garden should be doing significantly better. My Respect Becky. Great job! You go girl!
