I so much enjoy your videos. My wife is a philippino woman living in Naguilian La union Philippines. She raises chickens for eggs and meat. She likes it when I share your videos with her. Thank you
Oyster shells are a bit more efficient for calcium than grit, for anyone wondering if it's enough. Absolutely add grit, but I suggest oyster shells as well :)
+Passing Monsters good point
Thanks Becky. We've had great success with the black Lorpes too with production and temperament. We don't refrigerate our eggs, and comparing a free ranger's egg to the eggs you get from the grocery store is like comparing wet cardboard to a chocolate.
Hi Becky, I have been watching your videos for a while now and have found them really useful! Thanks or all the handy tips on the chickens by the way! I am getting some in a couple of weeks !!
this video taught me so much about how I need to change my chickens house and chicken run so it makes them happier: ) I am 12 and I love owning chickens, it makes me happier and gives me something to do. I used to have sooooo much spare time and I couldn't find anything to do with it so I got some chickens and it took up all of my spare time. the best part was that I enjoyed it. I love my chickens and I hope to have many more to come.

You tutorial videos are excellent. And I know you are trying to keep things fresh every time you make a video. But really, I am satisfied with just watching you interact and talk to your funny farm animals. 😆
The time I found out your guinea bird and dog slept together in the dog house, and walked out together, I laughed for days.
I enjoyed the morning commotion on your front porch breakfast. Need more of those updates.
Becky, I want you to know what an inspiration you are to me. I look up to you in so many ways. even though we are very different, you inspire me to do things my way that work for me and for that I am truly grateful to be able to watch your videos.
Dear Becky,
My young kids really seem to enjoy your videos. I'd like to give you a special "thanks" for your simple, straight and clear explanations that are suitable for children and easy for them to understand. Please keep up the good work!
+Thomas Holmes your so welcome, You know it warms my heart to hear the little ones like my videos ❤️😀
Thank you for this video! It's really great and will help me tremendously later this year!
Becky you are amazing! You motivated me to get my own farm and live sustainable lifestyle. Last month I bought an acre piece of land and planning to develop it into a nice homestead like yours. Thanks a lot Becky. Peace and love from India.
You are so good with the chicks, very inspiring, I keep getting closer to do it, but not yet-lol Thanks for sharing.
This was an Excellent and informative presentation.
Learning has taken place... thanks!
Great video. Lots of good information. Thanks and have a blessed day.
Thanks for the tips, I look forward to starting a coop next year! In all the research I've done, black australorp and americauna are 2 chickens I have decided I want, along with buff orpington. I may also raise ducks, probably Indian runners or silver apple yard, or white pekin. I think they're entertaining, also provide eggs, and possibly meat.
Just bought chickens today im so grateful for your helpful pointers love your channel
Helped me a lot in starting my homestead thanks!
Thank you for this. We have 4 brown ones and they laid their first egg. We are so excited lol. I love this video beciase its super easy detail.
Hi Becky,
i love watching your chicken videos as i own four but we sadly have to get rid of two soon these videos make me really happy as it makes me think of the good times i have had with the hens that are going. - a UK person
I am learning about chickens. I've been having them for a couple of months. She just started hatching 3 eggs. I want little chickens
There is absolutely no calcium in grit. Grit is insoluable stone, usually granite, and is necessary solely so they can grind up their food in their gizzards. Calcium comes from fortified layer feed, oyster shell and their own egg shells (cleaned, dried and ground before being fed back to them).
Thanks Becky , it had a lot of interesting information for me, big like.
Excellent info on the good egg layers! Thanks Becky!
+Jerry Harris thanks for watching
So anxious to see new videos, especially the design of your new coop
I love your videos! We have a small flock. 1 Buff Orpington roo, and 7 golden sex links hens. They are completely enclosed but we do let them free range 2-3 times a week for a few hours to get that extra protein to keep our girls fat and the eggs rich and delicious.
Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching!!
I have a head start I'm almost 12 and I live on a farm. I have 6 hens love your advice!
Becky, Thank you for your videos! They and you are just great.
thank you becky, you alway give great advice
Another chicken breed that worked really well when it came to egg production are the barred rocks. There also hardy and they usually would give me double yokers every other week . They are also very loving.
Woodland how many chickens do u need to lay eggs can 1 chicken lay eggs in its own? I’m a beginner
I absolutely Adore You Becky! Thank You for sharing your wonderful energy and love of this life. 😃
+Joseph Posada Your welcome, I'm so glad you like it 😀
Cool vid! Thanks Becky
Becky I have a couple questions - at what age is it time to cull roosters that have to go? And how did you emotionally prepare yourself before hand/cope? I ordered some ducklings and received several rooster chicks with them, and well... I thought I'll just raise them for meat because from what I understand I can't keep that many roosters considering I will only have 4 or 5 hens to start with. I've never put down an animal and I'm trying to learn as much as possible before its time. Love your channel, you inspire me so much and I've learned quite a bit from you're content!
Our chickens lay a but in the winter, but recently have gone egg crazy! We have so many in the spring that they fill up half our fridge!
We have 26 layers and get between 18-24 a day now. all medium to jumbo size and classified as excellent layers (even though they are picky). We have 6 breeds. chickens lay between 24-30 hours apart generally
I love your videos very informative
I've been super curious about Becky's accent for a while now. She has lots of deep vowels, a very interesting inflection, and I like the way she says "coop". Anyone have any leads? I've only heard this accent a few other times so it has to be rare. ;)
"just get the big fat meat birds!" thank you for this haha I love your energy
I so enjoy your videos! Thanks for taking the time. Can you explain what exactly "grit" is please? That may be a stupid question, but I'm wondering if the sand and dirt they peck in all day contains enough.
I have purebred dual purpose Rhode island reds who are great layers, Hardy and sustainable since I have 3 roosters to rotate. They free range one acre and get whole oats, whole wheat, crimped barley, Milo and layer crumbles
eating fertile eggs is bad luck, no ?
+BullyMangler Bad luck for the chick that might of been a chick.
:) .. for one that eats of that which was to develope 2 eyes, 1 mouth, 2 ears, and 1 heart = pre-mature death. Or so THEY say
As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace.
I'd get a breed that does eggs and meat, too. Make mine a Rhode Island Red. No exotic new breed for me. Forgot to say, I grew up on a farm when there was no electricity, no running water, no natural gas, and no tractors. We must have been survivalists. Because we did. In addition to the "Reds" we had White Leghorns... Each to his own I suppose.
Hi Becky my name is Jake I love watching your videos I want to be like you when I grow up I'm ten and thanks for the amazing stuff
How does she do that?
emma gerwig Stereotypes will last centuries with people like you
emma gerwig if your vegan and all that stuff then why do you watch her videos?
I’m ten years old too
I have 9 white leg horns and theu give me 9 eggs every day. They get their regularl store feed plus dried meal worms as treats. So far they have been very contestant with their egg laying. I also have a bowl of crushed oyster shells and I grind up the egg shells as well.
in Florida in my youth.we picked eggs at a friend's house...for breakfast 😊
Love your chicken videos!!
Becky, also try some steamed rice. They love it. Best if made in a rice maker. My rather young hens are already laying eggs.
I am adding 2 americanas to my 3 chickens I have now and I have them in a separate small pin. One of my red chickens tries attacking them through the wire. Do you have any suggestions on how to bring them together? Thanks for the videos, Really enjoy them.
It gets to -30 in the winter so I feed my chickens cooked warm oatmeal and in the summer I will bake a potato and they like it so well that when they are out in the yard you can call treat, treat and they come running into the chicken run attached to the coop for their "treat". This way I can get them back to the coop where I can lock them up for safety when I need to leave the yard. The 6 ladies lay 5 eggs a day, every day, and when they are out free they come back to the coop to lay the eggs. They are so curious, I was in the kitchen and they walked up 12 steps and were looking in the screen door, just watching.....
I love your Videos I make a nest for my chicken and may chick is growing well!!!!!!!
Great video I will try this
Excellent info
Good video Becky! 👍👍
I love Becky!!! 😍🤗❤❤❤❤❤
Hi there you mention grit. I use oyster shells in there feed, should I switch over to grit instead. I have also added oats to their diet and it has helped some but they are molting right now. Do you have any advice on how to speed up the molting process? Thank you for all your tips.
Thank you for this information my grandma has a chicken and she literally won’t lay eggs I’m gonna try these tips and see what happens thank you very much ❤
We have 4, year old layers. Three ISA Browns and an Orpington. All the way through Winter, until mid-February, we were getting about 3 eggs each day. The Orpington went broody for the first time and production dropped to just one egg. After the broody hen snapped out of it, we then got 2 eggs each day. Our Orpington is broody AGAIN and we are back down to just ONE egg every day. These girls have a very nice, spacious coop, and are free range birds during the day. Lots of food, water and treats from us. Why on earth are they not producing anymore? I am totally confused.
you forgot buff orpingtons great egg layers 250 eggs a year super friendly and intelligent
+Meet the Bubus I love buff orpingtons
Pretty hair, Becky! A big Thank you for the info.
Great video! Would love to see more about donkeys by the way :)
this is really cute and informative, but I'm confused about one aspect of egg laying. Of ten we see a bunch of eggs under a hen. If they lay only one egg a day, how do they accumulate that way? are there multiple eggs in various stages of growth inside the hen at all times and do you wait for the end of the week to collect 5 or 6 eggs? thanks1
I mean some of this is right. I have 5 kids and my chickens lay eggs everyday. The chickens need 15 hrs of sun light. Also it’s good to feed them the dried warms as well. As soon as I was letting them out in the sunlight during winter months they where laying
hi Becky I have 2 Rhode island reds and they should be laying eggs by now. I live in Hawaii and they seem to have everything mentioned in the video. Any solutions?
this is rely good information
Hi becky just woundering if layer and laying chicken food is the same pls reply
I do appreciate your videos and I don’t hit the thumbs up button enough. I will start now thank you for your time. I always make it to the end of the video though
Hi Becky I have 9 hens and basically receive 6 to 8 eggs everyday. One of the hens which I have named Jackie refuses to sleep with the other hens and I have also prepared a separate nesting area for her. Quite recently a hen from next door have ventured into our yard and has laid in Jackie's nesting box. Prior to this Jackie would lay everyday before dawn now she is not laying at all even though the hen has not returned. What do you think is the problem?
+Amara Morris Sounds like Jackie is a drama queen and gets upset very easy. Just give her time. We find the drama queens to be so funny to watch, they are just something else.
I don't know what all breeds we have but we have chickens, ducks and turkeys. We get like a dozen eggs every day! We keep some of our family supplied with eggs because we just can't eat them all! LOL
I ground up eggshells I wash them real good grind them up I collect 28 to 30 eggs a day only have 34 egg layers I collect at least 33 to 35 eggs a day. my hens well some are three years old still lane and the rest are young and they Lane like crazy laying mash plus free range goes up at night into a 100 ft cage and they come out every day equals a good tasting eggs and multiple eggs.
such a treat😊...we all should know this kinda stuff ...just in case....
you should try Red Island Reds, sad people can't handle their attitude but they are great layers and are hardy as well.
Becky my hens just started laying at 5 months but she’s laying from the roost what do I do at-least 1 is doing 5hat
Omg I've done a bad job then because my hens been sitting on their eggs n I been checking on em everytime n I noticed when I put my hand to put food near it it gets mad ! I hope I havent messed things up now .. I didnt know about their peace cuz I been all up in there watching ..
I have a question. You might not know the answer, but you have a lot of chickens, I don't know If you had/have any bantam.
My question: how many eggs would a bantam chicken lay a week? And I also have a really important question!! My chicken fell off of the ladder, and sprained her ankle. I need you! Is there anyway to help, or do we just wait? And is it to much pressure on her other leg if she hops on it to get around?? How long would it take to heal?? If your reading, I need your help, thank you.
Pegasus Parties okey... for your first question: I've noticed that bantams lay less often than layers (obviously) idk why, but they usually lay about 1-3 eggs a week. That varies though. For your second question. I would keep the chicken inside or in a covered place. Isolate her from the flock. Then give her lots of vitamins, minerals, and supplements. I don't think there's much you can do with the leg though. Just give her lots of attention, give her some supplements maybe if you have them. And just make her feel comfortable and let her heal and get stronger before letting her go out with the flock. It should heal soon. Hope this helped and I hope the chicken feels better!
This is so wholesome and cute
Fermented feed every day, with amazing results!
Where do I buy the corn and wheat ??
Question...how do you tell if an egg is fertilizer
Wonderful 💕
How do you know which chicken to pick
Have you had trouble with them smothering each other? I have/ had barred rock, australorp, and bantam. Their a Little over 2 months old. They smothered one bantam so I figured they were out growing them so I moved the bigger ones. and then last night they smothered 4!! I have never heard of this in all my research I did before getting chicken. Not only is this upsetting because I love my birds but its a waste of time and money : (
+xX19Cass89Xx yes, yes, yes bigger chicks will squish and smother the smaller chicks. Whey huddle together to keep warm. Maybe turn up the heat just a bit for one week.
My mom currently buys 7 cartons of eggs every two weeks At Trader Joe’s. We go through a lot. I did the math. If we wanted to match that with hens we’d need 12 hens given they’re in peak condition laying 7 eggs a week.
I like having a variety of chickens, more of the ones that lay the most and less of those that do not lay as often.
I love u and you're video can I give my chicken eggs shell To eat and what it do for them
We had 34 hens and one summer we got 52 eggs, we had to get another bucket
Thanks awesome video
I wanted to know if the yolk color has anything to do with the quality or health of the chicken
some of my hens egg yolk is bright yellow, pale yellow and some deep orange
+Danish Lo they are all a little different.
before my chicks got to free range their eggs were very pale yellow, now that they can eat bugs and worms the yolks are now a deep orange color. They will come running when they see me out with the pitch fork because they get the worms I turn up, it is easy pickings for them.
Buffs are great hens too. :)
+PonziZombieKiller I agree, we like them too.
do you have to refrigerate fresh eggs? if not how long can you keep them before they start going bad?
+Melissa Jennings I keep mine on the counter for up to three weeks with no problems. After three weeks I will put them in the fridge and they can stay in there for three months.
I love the way you talking
My family’s got 4 chickens 2 hens and 2 roosters is that good ?
Where do u get your oats?
🥚Good to know🌿🧠🌿Thank You🌿Will share soon🌿
my chicken quite laying eggs what do i do too get them too start laying eggs again
Hallo, Becky, I have twee bantams. They don't like eating hay, and they are really picky when it comes to table scaps. They seem to like things that are sweet like strawbarries, watermellons and carrots and dislike brocolli and those dry snack worms you can get in the store. They are crazy about rice and fresh grass! I find it really funny caz before i had them i always thought chickens eat everything. Maybe it has to do with the breed? Do your chickens always eat everything you give them or they are sometimes as picky as those from me?
+S Lee Mine are never picky and eat everything.
I was so shocked to see my hens picking their own eggs
I added calcium to their diet immediately
hi becky im a fan of ur videos and i want to be like u wen i grow up im 11 years old and i have 78 chickens and i take ur advice every day and my mom and dad helps me build a chicken house so thank you for the advices

Honestly. I would’ve died not knowing there were different breeds of chickens. I can’t wait to flex this knowledge
Haw long can you keep your eggs??
All My red Hen’s “lay an Egg A Day” without fail
are ameraucanas and araucanas similar and if so in what way?
Georgia Marcum I haven't had an araucana, but all I know is that araucanas have a tuff of feathers on the side of their cheeks lol 😂 I guess that is one of the differences 😂
