Becky mahalo nui thank you sooo much for your knowledge. I started with 24 hens on my 1/4 homestead sold out eggs everyday. So I added 50 chicks and a friend gave me her 12 hens. We get 8 doz a day and I have regular customers. Our hens are clean and happy. They are separated into 3 coops whom they grew with. Your feed has produced beautiful hens. They’re in coops most of the day and are allowed to free range around 5 pm and go back into the coop on their own at 6:30 Pm

Becky, love all your videos. First time with chickens in our neighborhood. We have four chicks, no roosters, that are about to be four weeks old. They’ve been on medicated chick feed from the beginning. When would you suggest we begin transitioning them to your feed formula?

Super excited to start my chicken journey I feel prepared because of your knowledge thank you!

I use Becky’s recipe except I add soldier fly larvae instead of cat food. Sometimes I use dried shrimp. But I use everything else she recommends.

Hi Becky! Keep giving us your fun video’s Jamed packed w/great info! It has worked very well for my flock 🍳🥚again thank u!

I love your posts! Although our winters aren't severe, but it can get quite cold. I used your directions and got eggs all winter! One change though as I'm not sure if I trust Kibble products. I'll have to look at the ingredients before I make a decision.

I used to live in zone 8 in SC and we did not give chickens corn in spring or summer because it increased their body heat and we had temperatures in the upper 90°to over 100°F consistently for months. If the temps fell into the 80's we thought we were having a cool spell. I did feed my hens sunflower seeds and that never seem to bother them.I also gave them a lot of fresh melons and tomatoes I grew in my garden. I now live in zone 7 and we are already having temperatures in the 90s. I have started a new flock and they are only a month old and I am feeding organic starter but I want to transition to whole grains. I am raising Delaware's which are a critical endangered breed. I love them. My last flock was a menagerie of different breeds. I was going to start mixing rolled oats into their starter feed and I had purchased some black oil seed sunflower seed but now I am not sure about giving them that. I was also going to give them alfalfa seed or pellets. I am raising sunflowers, corn and buckwheat this summer for grain. I am an organic gardener. Any suggestions as to what to add to transition my chicks to a more natural diet. Thanks.

Have you ever heard about using red pepper flake to boost egg volume and induce a more orange or red yolk?

Hi Becky, I have been watching a lot of your videos lately and have gained a lot of helpful information from you, thank you! I have one for you, hopefully you can help? We are in Australia and have recently bought acreage and have chickens! Initially we only had hens then we introduced a rooster to our chicken family around 4 months ago. One of our hens who laid daily immediately stopped laying and has not laid since. In the last two weeks the hen has stopped coming out of the roost, she was in there for several days and we chased her out, immediately the rooster jumped on her! She was absolutely starving, she stayed out all day and after eating resumed her normal day scratching around with the other hens. Every day she stays in the roost, we chase her out and the rooster immediately jumps on her. She is fine when out and about with the other hens and is usually always right beside the rooster and seems happy. The rooster is a good protector and all the hens seem to love him, we don’t know what to do with our poor hen who no longer lays and won’t leave the roost unless we shoo her out, hope you can help? Thanks
