Dear Becky, I looked for a much newer video to reach out to you. It had been a while since I was researching chickens, we are now new chicken parents. Thank you for helping before and continuing to help my new journey so heading back into continued research. Just know that your weight loss as it is wonderful to your health doesn’t make you more relevant. You were always relevant. May God bless you beyond measure! In Christ, Heather

Great advice! Right now we live in the city with a nice sized backyard. Since we've lived here with chickens and a garden, I love the idea of keeping the chickens and garden as close as they are to our house right now if we ever get a real homestead in the future. I love watching our chickens out the kitchen window! When they free range sometimes, they will sit on a perch we have outside the window waiting for a treat. I love it 😄 I would still want that experience in the country. And having the garden close is definitely helpful. It's both pretty and convenient.

I used an arial photo to plan mine as there was already a house and 2 buildings on the property. I used that to scale the rest making sure I had enough space for my fruit trees, chickens, garden, and additional greenhouses. I invited like minded people over to see what I was thinking about and I asked for some suggestions. Another set of eyes is really helpful to see layout problems because we are all biased towards our own design. I fenced around the garden then put the fence for the chicken yard around that. The chickens patrol around the entire parameter of the garden in the garden season and they have free reign of the garden all winter to fertilize and eat it down to the ground.

Love it! There’s a gentleman by the name of Greg Judy whom is an expert on pasture management. He runs cattle and sheep. It is a science in itself as there are parasite cycles to break, optimum plant height, paddock size and rotating etc…etc…etc…We already have the hens In our urban backyard and totally enjoy them. When we move in a couple years, we plan on maybe a single mini Jersey cow and a couple weened grower ram lambs to eventually “develop” our 4 acres of very weedy agricultural zoned tropical rainforest land

100%! Zones and planning in REALITY is so important. It's easy to get excited & get ahead of yourself. I know people that have too many animals for the land they have. It's dirt! Nasty, dirty, maintenance heavy, & smelly. You can muck poop, but the urine soaks into the ground. It's nasty! I don't recommend. A way to help with smaller homesteads & "pasture" are mobile fencing options (like Premier 1) that can be moved across "lawns" and garden plots. Yes, respect your Zones, but it can provide flexibility. I personally have diversity in "pasture" area because I live in a seasonal area. #1 is some type of permanent structure or area, like a barn with a joining barn yard. But I don't depend on housing my animals there 100% of the time due to over soiling & eventually parasites. Even for chickens. Therefore, in good weather seasons, I provide 2 options, traditional pasture & mobile "pasture". I personally used mobile pasture before I installed permanent fencing for my permanent pasture. Mobile allows my permanent areas to rest, be cleaned, and to use ALL resources for animal feed. It does require input, but so does mucking out any permanent area. So it's a trade off.

Hi Becky, very informative video, helpful. Any advice on how should I plant several fruit trees in my lawn? I know they need plenty of sun, but I have no idea how to decide about their location, in the middle of lawn, around, or in zig zag pattern? I want to see them from my kitchen windows and to be complementary to my yard, not in the way. I'd love your opinion on small trees or bushes fruity and flowery.
@BeckysHomestead
6 ай бұрын
I would say, less is more, start with your favorite two fruit trees, give them plenty of room and plant them back away from the house as far as you can in a sunny spot. Then a bit closer to the house plant berry bushes, again not to many and give them room. Get all that going good and producing well, then consider more if you want more☀️❤️☀️
