Meg cracking up over realizing why the tiller is named Fred, then her elation over the chicks made my day! Keep up the amazing work guys!
You all make me smile. Please always remember that when cranky people post negative things. Ignore them, that’s what they hate.
I am an almost 68 year old retired Hospice nurse. I have bad arthritis which prevents me from gardening as I would like. I do can and freeze sauces, beans, soups. So I live watch you youngins thrive
Have you tried moringa? It's great for arthritis. There's a video on UA-cam about it. Also eliminating grains and sugar helps big time. I used to have a bit of a time going down my stairs until I eliminated sugar our of my diet. I still eat sweet things, they're just made with Pyure and stevia.
😊I love your comment so encouraging 😊😊😊
Seriously get on a boron supplement temporary high dose, search for article "boron benefit ""health conditions improved naturally with boron" "Dr Rex E. Newman". Per him most arthritis clears up naturally. Populations studies re amount of boron in soils corresponds to amount of arthritis in a population/country. I started with 16 mgs for about 2 months then have taken a maintenance dose of 8 mg per day for maybe 4+ years. I read that average diet in Israel supplies about 30mg per day, so I felt safe experiemnting with this a food supplementation. I am on no medications just superfoods and nutrient supplements.I'm 75 with zero arthritis. If I feel a twinge, its usually cause I forgot to take it, get back on everyday and even that disappears. Also read up on Maca for older women. Its been a huge benefit for me as well taking about 5 years on and off. Just need more zinc to counter balance the copper in it. I love watching this family too, I'm a passionate gardener myself. If I was younger I would homestead. Also learn about moringa.
Amen says fellow retired hospice nurse(still attempting to garden and raise my chickeys, and I still get excited over my baby chicks!)
Absolutely DO NOT open the incubator when they are pipping! The dry air will cause the inner membrane to "shrink wrap" them in.
Ellen Clayton that was my thoughts as well
Same. Learned that one the hard way. :(
I was just about to put the same thing! it is a MUST NOT DO!!!! hope they do not have too many issues
Spend some time watching Bobblehead Homestead, you will learn so much about chickens!!
Every time she opened it I was saying, "quick close it! Don't hold it open! Don't shrink wrap your babies!". Hope they all hatch ok.
Congrats on the new babies and Ben I think you are doing an amazing job on the house and garden bed prep!
Of course Fred started up on the first pull; he’s on the Hollar Homestead now!
As much as I'd LOOOOOOVE to see videos every day, I really enjoy your multiple day format that you've gone to. I hope it suits your family a little better as renovating a home, growing food, growing children, hatching chickens and Meg's pregnancy is quite a bit to manage on its own, let alone squeezing in camera time.
I actually enjoy the ripping and fixing of the floor. Each time you show it I know you're one patch closer to finishing it and it's going to be so satisfying. 😊💪🏻😉
Lol. I got one you can do that to.😀
Great progress in so many areas-floors, insulation, tilling, moving chickens, caring for pigs. You eat the elephant a bite at a time.
Ben, for the next mumble, mumble months all the answers are: "Because my wife is pregnant and my job is to protect her and our baby." Anyone who dares pursue it further, send 'em up North to the Mitt & we'll 'splain it to 'em like they're six. It's great to see Meg so excited and the boys getting to learn how to use the really big boy tools ;)
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Absolutely
Well said!
great fun with the boys. my niece was helping her dad wood working, the drill and miter saw . Her friends want to come over to learn also
Meg, your delight in seeing the newly hatched chicks was a treat; same with Ben's. Great video, guys! You covered a lot of bases with this one.
Im so mad that people would criticize when he is working so hard for his family. Thank you so much to the people that helped
If this lady is so excited for cute chicky children, just imagine what the reaction is going to be when the pink foot human arrives! My money is still on another boy baby, can't wait!
fiffi honeyblossom I’m hoping for a girl simply because I would enjoy watching Daddy’s heart melt into a little pool on the floor. There’s just something about a real man gazing at his little girl that makes the world seem like a better place. ❤️
Love Freddy! Not going into debt to buy a fancy piece of equipment is the homestead way. Even talking about putting a new motor on Freddy is showing people how to make due. Meg's excitement over the chicks peeping has us excited for you! You did a great job! Blessings
Love excitement over the incubator. It was like watching someone open a Christmas present they always wanted but didn't expect to get.
Meg will you be doing a baby registry. Would like to get you something for the newest little one.
Awesome that you’ve had your hatch start! Meg’s reaction was precious. Seeing your “boring” floor work is actually refreshing in a time when not much else is getting to be done! Keep it up and good job.
Aaaawe, baby chicks. 🐣. How great to coincide with a broody hen!
Looks like a good buy at the thrift store Ben.
That is so awesome. Your excitement is awesome, I wanted to jump up and down with you. Can't wait to see how broody momma does.
Congratulations on your new additions. They are so Cute. I just Loved Megs Question So Why Am I Here? Then the reaction when she heard the peeping. Congratulations also on Fred. I'm sure makes your job easier and I'm sure you can make it run better if you haven't already. Your very handy guy to have around. The floor is looking great. Your doing the floor how you want. Keeping it safe for your Family and It's also keeping unwanted critters in the house. Your doing great. So Happy for All. Stay Safe God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏❣️
You will not regret buying that rotavator, they are a god send.
Do the floor how you are, it looks likes it is working great for you, keep up the good work
Your boys seem to be such great helpers while learning life skills. Can't wait to meet your new baby.
You will always have someone question why you doing it that way , especially on a public forum. Just listen to the good advice, ignore the rest , but do what is working for you. You are doing a good job, have many responsibilities, and family expanding. Keep up the good work. Hands on learning is the best. You are building a very good father/ sons relationship. Cool to see they want to help you. Good Stuff !!
i dont mind watching floor removal etc. you guys are one of the few channels i watch the most
It looks like Fred is missing a very important component. He should have a heavy flat bar pinned through the slot in the back. That bar will help with 2 things. First it will help to control how much Fred wants to pull away from you. And the deeper that bar is placed in the tilled soil, the deeper Fred will till. If he didn't come with one I'm sure you can make one. There should be pictures on the Internet of that bar (tiller drag stake / depth bar) which is usually cut at an angle at the bottom (long end of the cut angle goes towards the tiller)
Love that your sons are helping you more and they are getting so tall
Love how thoughtful you are of your family. Keep on going. When you are done with the home you will feel such a sense of accomplishment.
Never apologize for doing things your way. This is your families journey. We are just along for the ride. Meg is looking beautiful, gardens are coming along, The house is moving at a good pace. Life is good on the Hollar homestead. So wonderful to see the boys enjoying the new chicks. Be well rest up...
Ben your doing an Awesome Job! and I am so happy for the baby chicks! they are adorable. Awe Meg, you are so cute with seeing those baby chicks! I would be just like you.
Love The Hollars and all your adventures on the Homestead! Carry On!
You kids are doing just fine and your kids are learning soooo much, more than you know. Lots of work but well worth it and just do it the way you want to doit .... and look for real advise not just someone yelling. Blessings
Yes real advice from the ones who have been doing it for years...not the wanna bes
Ben you’re doing awesome job on your mobile home. And Meg is a real pleasure to watch and your boys are also a big help on your homestead .I get great pleasure watching your projects to daily progress you and Meg always try to make the best out of what ever comes your way from good and bad. Keep up the great work❤️♥️❤️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🐓🐓🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐥🐥🐥🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🥰
Hey! Thanks for the "Floor Show".. never get tired of progress. : )
You 'chicken parents' break me up! LOL. Yea, pretty kewl.
"why am I here? OH!" Total pregnancy brain! I love it. Good job guys!
Daddy’s making sure that mommy gets to have the lil girls pink nursery 💞 lots of hard work paying off!!
YAY, baby chicks! I'm so happy for you guys. I love watching you guys, you always see the positive in everything! You all are awesome.
YOU NEED A COUPLE OF CATS TO GUARD THAT FEED
Robert Noraas maybe they don’t have any rats 🐀
@@maryjemisonMaryjay1936 With it being a farm/property if they don't have rats they will have mice.
Tinyhome deals 🐀 rats 🐀 mice 🐭 scares me 😱
@@maryjemisonMaryjay1936 Right but a good farm cat will keep them at bay. The dog lover in me says a terrier would be better at least for rats.
Terriors are great with mice.
Awww...baby chicks! So fun to see you get so excited, Meg 😍 What a great experience for the boys...
Love watching you construct, your days are so full, love your family, can’t wait for the new one.
I missed y'all. The land is coming along beautifully. Blessings from Aunty in Ireland. No kisses for Fred...lol...❤🍀😁
So great to see an update from you beautiful people again... happy times!
I get so much joy from seeing you all so happy and living your dreams!!!! Praying the Lord gives you strength to keep on keepin' on!!!! 💙
This is my fifth year of gardening in clay soil. I’ve amended every year. Today I turned the beds and there were hundreds of worms😍 🐣❤️
I won't be shouting out "squirrel" any more, my new phrase is "MOTH" !! Ha ha.
Hahahahahaha!!!!
I'm sure I'm not nearly as sick of watching floor as you are of doing the floor. 😂😂😂. I like it all. Continue to just do what you're doing.
Congrats on your first hatched chicks! So awesome!!! Fred rocks!!! Ben keep the home videos coming even if its floors. We love to see all the work in progress. It's coming along great! Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen
I'm loving y'alls progress in what seems such a short amount of time!!! The boys are amazing helpers learning from the BEST TEACHER!! Meg is radiant growing y'alls new little one...happy to see her sitting and taking it easy for a short bit❣❣❣ I love watching and learning about the planting but my favorite part is ALWAYS seeing the progress on the mobile home❣❣❣Blessings...❤☝️❤
You have to work at your own pace. You’re doing a great job. You think of safety first. You will get there, in your own time. I enjoy watching the progress of your new home being built. Take card and God Bless 🤗🙏🏻🥰.....love watching Meg be so happy with the new baby chicks 🐤🥰🥰🥰
Ohhhhhh...How fun to see the "littles" (chicks). Um feeling like a new mom just watching Pegs excitement!! I just LOVE you and your whole family. It's such a joy to watch you.....thanks again for allowing us to follow your journey. Also, those black chickens are just beautiful.
Love all your content; the chicks, moving the chickens, tilling the soil, working on the floor, all of it. Thanks for brightening up my day. I live right downtown and had to go to the store. Not many people around, but those that are .... well, they are in very bad moods and want to argue about flipping anything. Lots of drama for hardly any people. Crazy Days. From now on, no eye contact until this thing is over.
I just smile and say hi to everyone. They are usually so shocked that someone is smiling and saying hi to them, that they usually say hi and smile back. Before they can think about being cranky. Remember this to shall pass. Gods in charge. Not us little people. So smile. And those of you that think my life is rosey. Think again. My hubby has been layed off for 3 weeks now. And he just had to have emergency eye surgery a week ago. Torn retina. So now he cant lift or bend over till it heals. So we cant even get the hunny do list done while he's off work. Oh and my mom is in an assisted living home and has been on lock down for 4 1/2 weeks now. So I cant see her. And she has terminal lung cancer and weeks to live. Talk about a bad time for this plandemic. If I can smile, you can smile.😁😷😁 smile behind the mask, people can see it in your eyes.
Flooring and Insulation videos mean PROGRESS.... We never get tired of them Ben.
Ben, you are so thoughtful. Meg, your new home is going to be lovely.
I enjoyed seeing the boys helping out again.
God bless you all!
Love me some Hollars! The progress is amazing and it's great to see the boys' growth spurts and their involvement. Those baby chicks have to be the show stopper though. Excellence all around folks!
Keep all your pink isolation to use as an underlay for a future pond to protect your pond liner from damage from soil.
Great idea for reuse.
Like a little kid on Christmas morning! Thank you for bringing us along, LOVED EVERY MINUTE, thanks for sharing!
Awesome on the tiller!! Great investment for the homestead!!
Congrats on the chicky chicks!! Please keep sharing progress on the home, we enjoy it
and also someone may see it and help them when their flooring needs redone!!
*Have a good'nnn*
You rock young man. Don't worry about others telling you how you should do life. Best way to learn is thru mistakes. You are doing a great job in making your family a safe home and environment to live in. Keep it real.
Love y’all Beautiful Family!!!! Thank you for blessing our lives. I needed to see y’all today.
Hi..... Meg and Ben (The Hollar Homestead) thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐖🌱🎥👍👍👍
Update on the baby bump.... Growing your family growing your life style and growing everyday with knowledge. So amazing.
So happy for y'all and Meg seeing you get so excited over baby chicks had me crying and jumping up and down at 2 am 😆😆😆 love you guys ❤️
I love Meg's reaction to the hachlings.
Loves his pigs!! :) Behind the fence and on the grill ;)
Look at y'all! A tiller, more garden space, chicken feed, more floor done and chicks! Life is GOOD..so excited for you. Thanks for the video.
Aww the joy of Meg and the chicks. Oh how I love to see those boys watching their dad. After while they will really be able to help more. That little one is eating up wisdom. CONGRATULATIONS on your baby chicks ❤🙏👀
Meg - you are as much fun to watch as an incubator of newly hatched chicks; love to see you so excited! Ben - you have really gotten to be a good vlogger. Kudos. As always, thanks so much for sharing your lives with us. Watching all of you makes the world seem a little brighter. ❤️😊
You ARE such a lucky but hardworking man ... You have a wife that does not get super excited about fine clothes and jewelry but goes "insane" over pips!!! I loved watching her!! Congrats new Momma!! Your tiny babies are beautiful!!!!
Live and let live.....you all are awesome! I like all the work on your home, I can hardly wait for you to have your home complete.
14:59 totally made me laugh cause that’s what my son looks like playing with his cars all day long. Hope he grows up to work hard too like his papa, and you guys. Had to share the smile. And we love seeing you do floors- it’s progress and we’re rooting for you!
Awwww, thank you for catching us up on what has been happening on the Hollar Homestead 🙌🏻 💓 you’ve clearly been busy! So glad the temperatures are cooperating for the time being. Exciting to see how the chickens and pigs are helping prepare your land for more garden space and clearing out brush in the woods. They sure do earn their keep. Onward and forward! Stop and take short breaks to enjoy God’s many blessings. So happy to see your happy smiles! Spring has sprung 🥬🥕🍓🐷🐣🐔
Love seeing this! This is why we do it, Ben! Her reaction was priceless!
While I subscribe to a few dozen homesteader channels, yours is definitely one of my favorites. Always happy to see a post from the Hollars.
Those pigs and chickens definitely get excited when they see Ben coming. I admire the way you treat your animals.
Oh, my heart when seeing the babies hatching ❤ you guys are rockin it!
Ruth here, those tractors and stuff costs money, we did not have one for a long time. You can put newspapers down, find old hay, ya want hay and old, plant your garden, put the newspaper down between the rows after planting, pile high with the old hay, water the hay to settle it, it will almost disappear, help your soil, just work it into the soil in the spring
So Happy to see so much happiness for both of y'all on your homestead. Such an inspiration to others like myself that want to travel in your footsteps.
Keep plugging away, love you guys
I just love that you and your family are progressing so well. Meg I love that you express your joy so we all can see it. Too often that is not the case. You are also teaching your boys that it is ok to be happy on the outside too. Ben thank you for taking time to go help the Rhodes. Yes he may have hired you but you have a huge work list at home and could have said no.
How exciting, new life on the homestead!!! Your homestead is exploding with new life and I am so thrilled for your family😉
Your youngest was so patient while waiting to see the chicks! We will be incubating Lavender Orpingtons in two weeks.
Looks like things are going well for you guys. Glad to see it.
Glad to see a video from y’all I have literally watched every single one of your videos. Keep them coming and stay safe and healthy.
Congratulations! Wow the boys are growing fast Take care and be safe. Keeping all of you in my prayers 💕
I have watched two people on UA-cam doing their floors , it’s not boring to me at all , it’s progress you’re making, be proud of it ! So excited regarding the baby chicks. I just had 3 born!!
You are such brilliant parents. Your boys are learning so much more than the academic side of life. The joy on Megs face was so sweet and the look on Ben's face when he looks at her and the boys is beautiful. Stay safe and well beautiful family.
Hi folks, great job on the developing homestead!
Just sending you an FYI... It looks like you are missing the drag bar for the back of your rototiller.
It should be attached to the bar that comes out the back. It's what drags the front end down, adjustable for depth control. Probably why you aren't getting any depth AND will help you from getting beat up and having to muscle it to work for you. You have the skills and tools to make one, google it you'll see what I mean. ;)
Congratulations on the peepers! Meg's excitement is adorable.
Ahahaha while watching this, at the part where Meg sees the chicks and has so much excitement and enthusiasm my husband looked at me, raised his eyebrows, and said "friend of yours?"
I *might* get pretty excited about new chicks, too.
You are such an encouragement to me. Keep up the great (hard) work!
Love seeing the progress, of course you are doing things the way you are to be as safe as possible for Meg and the boys. Now I want to get an incubator for my daughters quails!
I love your Fred! I have a little Fred myself and he is worth his weight in gold!! Your soil looks amazing!
Looks like a man with a plan, in regards to the floor. Not only do you keep it safe, you are keeping the debris amounts more controlled and not so overwhelming to clear and clean up each time. Good job!
Exciting to see the baby chicks.
Love seeing your progress. The garden is looking fantastic!
Fred is an awesome name for the claw monster! It's like you took advantage of the after easter PEEP sale! Meg, the Joy in your eyes when you realized what happened in the incubator... brings joy to us! that happy dance is everything!
Yay! Wiggling pips! Watching you Ben doing floors reminds me of my brother, and i helped him back in 1965! Thanks! Happy Days! 👏😁☀️🤗🥰🙏🏻
You'll notice that they will also drink less water with soaking the food
Meg, you look so beautiful sitting there in the sunshine with your nice hat and glow on your face!
Your property is looking so nice!
Thank you!! 🥰
@@TheHollarHomestead, God has certainly blessed you & Ben with four strong young boys, this wonderful property and animals and now has blessed you with this precious little one on the way :) I am so happy for you all!! May God continue to bless your whole family with good health and wellness :)
The look on your faces when looking at those chicks is priceless. It is exciting.
The excitement you both show about the baby chicks is so cute!!! 🥰
Yay chics! 🐣 Adorable to see you youngest (is it Corben?) anxiously but patiently standing behind his brothers, waiting for his turn to see the chics. So well behaved! 😍
We used to jokingly call that style of tiller
The "pogo stick" type tiller.
I just was so tickled when Meg saw the chick!! Congratulations to Meg the chicken mama ! And maybe aClaw end of hammer or a small like 6 inch pry bar for those stubborn nails??
It’s great to see the progress
Ben you and the boys working the yard is everything! But seeing your wife Meg so happy about those hatchlings, you must have felt like the most successful Man in the United States while filming. Continued success 🙏 and blessings.
We have a Fred!! He looks exactly the same and sounds just like yours. He always surges like he's out of gas but he is a powerhouse and has worked for us for the last 17 years. Love hearing him...lol! We are stuck in Florida by the virus and can't get back to Indiana to plant and work my gardens so I am planting seeds in egg shells, sprouting vegetables and lettuces in tubs of dirt. Trying to plant and grow where we are. (We are also rehabbing mobile home #2 to live in next winter. So glad to see you working piecemeal on the floor. It's the safest way to go. God bless y'all and the new chickey babies and the new Hollar baby. Be well!!
