I hope you enjoy this new video. Ask your questions here and I'll answer as many as I can.

my chichens are are eating there eggs and I do not know what to do

@dannyurrutia613 7 лет назад

please help

@BeckysHomestead 7 лет назад

+Danny Urrutia make sure they have enough food, maybe add a little while corn and grit

@dannyurrutia613 7 лет назад

thanks I will ask to get that thanks so much

@juliebates7177 7 лет назад

I love this video, so chock full of good info! Can I use something other than cedar chips for the chicks, cause the smell of cedar chips is so strong it takes my breath and I wouldn't want the chicks to breathe it either. What do you recommend I use instead?

@daniellesduckheadhomestead3127 7 лет назад

I've read that cedar wood shavings are not a good option for chick bedding. Cedar is far to aromatic for the chicks immature lungs and can cause respiratory distress. Pine shavings would be a better option. Hope this helps someone out.

@BeckysHomestead 7 лет назад

+Duckhead Homestead here's what the usda has to say about cedar plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf/cs_juvi.pdf

@jag01730 7 лет назад

Duckhead Homestead You're correct, cedar shavings are highly irritating to chicks. Stick with pine.

Hows it going so far?

@billlaut608 7 лет назад

This was an EXCELLENT video primer! Thank you for returning to the subject of chickens, and placing everything we need to know to get started in one convenient video. Definitely one to save to my hard drive! Also, may I suggest you consider producing an updated version of an earlier video, where you described the different breeds of chickens? I would be interested in any insights and experience you gained since making that video.

@breannahayes307 6 лет назад

I have chickens

@austinbonde9041 3 года назад

Werr getting our first batch of chicks next week, we stopped by the feed store to get all our items for them yesterday and my kids got to hold the baby chicks, this morning my three year old woke up talking about how much she loved the baby chicks yesterday. Makes me even more excited for our little chickens to come!

@thebackshack 5 лет назад

Hello there, Your videos have been some of the most helpful and inspirational of the entire world wide web. We are starting out and looking forward to a future filled with chickens. Your energy and enthusiasm is absolute. Thank you.

@divinecommerce6760 7 лет назад

You're adorable Becky, thanks for the helpful tips such as only buy "pullets" if you don't want a free alarm clock! 😊💛

@no_name475 5 лет назад

This is a nice video! I do love collecting eggs as well. Over time the eggs can load up to a lot of money in a store but with chickens, they can be more expensive because, you have to keep providing food and I’m already &1000 Into six chickens. Becky, you have a very very good point though because the eggs you buy at the store can add up to the same amount you paid for your chickens. You have helped me also save a lot of money. Thanks for teaching me how to raise baby chickens properly, and teaching me the ways to spoil my chickens!!

@grandcatsmama3421 5 лет назад

When I was working for a nursery school in the 80s, we visited a lady who had a few chickens and a lot of goats. She sold the goat's milk for people who couldn't drink cow's milk. She had a smaller yard than we had in our house in the suburbs.

@heatherj3385 7 лет назад

@siobhansprouse3254 5 лет назад

Heyyyy, as someone who's kept reptiles: that weird looking heat 'lamp' is actually a ceramic heat bulb. Just to save you guys some search trouble. They're excellent at maintaining heat without the same light effects and tend to be slightly more fire-safe.

@theheritagehousesc 5 лет назад

When i was a kid my mom would buy two baby chicks for us and we had to care for them. We use to put them in a tub and at night only we use to place a bottle with hot water in to keep them warm. They were just fine and cozy. We never lost any. Now days there are so many things that stores recommend! I believe chicks do get climatized into weather temps. If too cold give some extra heat but i think they will be just fine in warmer parts of the country. As with everything, the more we baby animals, the less strong they become. Thank you for all the info you provide. So helpful! Don’t you have problems with predators in your area? I notice your coop is completely open and can’t lock chickens in, or the run doesn’t have a net on top.

@rickkube4608 5 лет назад

Been thinking about having some chickens, your vids are GREAT! I guess a guy can start smaller with 5 or 6 and go up from there! As long as the coop is big enough. Glad I found your vids!

@travjacsimmyac 7 лет назад

Hey Becky, love your videos there so informative but fun to watch, have you ever thought of doing like a DVD on how to raise chickens? I'd defiantly buy it, you cover most of it in your previous videos but would love a guide from start to finish, thanks for another great video :)

@rachelkariuki2414 6 лет назад

Becky u r wonderful! I was brought up in kenya on farm with chickens, duck and ducklings, goats and cows. As a family we did farming too. I miss pure organic foods. I always love to watch ur videos and I enjoy alot. Am very much interested in homesteading if only I can have my own property. I can not be happier to live and do as u do homesteading. Pray for me that God gives me money to buy my own. Be blsd!

@ClockworkContessa 7 лет назад

Got 17 chickens to raise for my own organic eggs because I don't wish to support factory farming egg industry and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. My chickens are my babies. I had no idea what wonderful pets they are. I've had them 8 months now and loving them so much. My one hen went broody so I saved a few eggs for her to sit on and looking forward to our second generation chicks. (We have 4 roosters, all such sweethearts). I miss when my babies were teeny little chirps but probably getting more breeds next year that I really want.

@bethanyshepherd6454 7 лет назад

Becky, you have been looking so pretty lately!!! -such a difference from when you first started your channel. (not that you weren't cute). You just look like you have lost so much weight, have a different hair color/style, and nice make up look. You just really look great! You look like you are happy and that may also contribute to your new look. On another note, I personally love your friendly voice. It is so sweet. lol Ps. I so appreciate your channel. I learn so much (great content) and you are very entertaining. I just really enjoy your channel... I figured it would be nice to give you props and compliments since it's important you know how appreciated you are since it is obvious you work quite hard to produce content to help others. So thanks again love. GOD BLESS YOU!! xoxo

@axiomist1076 5 лет назад

Thanks for a very informative video. I just found out that hens can lay eggs w/o a rooster ! So it would be practical to have chickens in the backyard, as long as the law allows it. Well, I might just do that, because I love chickens. I even have a bumper sticker stuck to the side of my fridge that says just that. I bought it some years ago when they still had "The Chicken Store" in Key West. Key West has lots of chickens that run around loose and at one time they had to pay a guy I knew to catch them so they could be shipped upstate because the people were complaining about the roosters making too much noise.

That was an excellent video to explain chicken care. I really thought it will help beginner homesteaders. Can you do a video like this about some of your other animals too, like the guinea hen or the horses?
