Keeping chickens laying through the winter takes a little extra attention — but it can be done.
In today’s video, we’re doing regular farm chores while focusing on our egg-laying chickens. We feed the birds, collect fresh eggs, and clean and freshen the nest boxes. Along the way, I talk through the practical steps we use to help our chickens continue laying eggs during the colder, shorter days of winter.
We cover what actually makes a difference — not gimmicks or shortcuts — just simple management practices that support healthy birds and steady egg production.
✨ In this video, we talk about:
• Feeding and caring for egg chickens
• Collecting eggs in winter
• Cleaning and maintaining nest boxes
• Adding supplemental light for winter laying
• Increasing protein in the chickens’ diet
• Keeping water flowing in cold weather
• Winter chicken care for small farms and homesteads
If you’re raising chickens for eggs — or thinking about getting started — this video gives a realistic look at what it takes to keep chickens productive through the winter months.

![Swapping Seeds & Stories With True Grit: Appalachian Ways - A Conversation Among Friends
Andy and Meagas Channel - @TrueGritAppalachianWays
What happens when two homesteading families get together to swap seeds and stories? Today, we’re heading into the mountains to visit our friends Andy and Meagan from True Grit: Appalachian Ways. Inside the Video:
This isnt just a visit; it’s an exchange of the Old Ways.
The Delivery: We’re bringing a spare chicken tractor up to the True Grit farm to help with their poultry expansion.
The Seed Swap: In a true old-fashioned trade, we’re swapping some of our sorghum seed for Andy’s field corn. Keeping these heritage varieties moving is the heartbeat of food independence.
The Tour: Andy and Meagan walk us through their beautiful property, showing us the progress on their gardens, orchards, and that impressive new barn.
The Conversation: No scripts, no agendas—just a genuine look at what homesteading and farming look like in the Appalachian tradition. We talk shop on gardening, infrastructure, and why community is the most important crop you can grow.
