1. I'm wondering if you make apple cider, what your approach is and what you use for it?
2. I am also curious how to keep all fowl birds together in winter? Not sure if you do this? I was thinking, chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. How do you manage the different foods or do they all eat the same?

3. Could you go more in-depth on your daughter's hair washing approach? You mentioned egg yolks, honey and bentonite clay. Does she always mix the honey and egg yolks for washing or does she alternate the two?
Hi! Just wanted to share that I have been doing honey/yolk masks--not sure if thats how Tara and her daughter do it, but inspired by them-- and my bum length hair is so clean and soft. I mix one yolk with 2 tbsp honey, then massage it into my scalp about an hour before I shower, then tie my hair up. Then just rinse with lukewarm water while bathing. It's surprisingly great!
I just whip two room temp eggs in a jar, rinse my hair in the shower and then massage in the eggs, wrap hair up in a bun while I rinse/wash the rest of my body, and then rinse the eggs out with cold/warm water (not hot!). I do this once every week or two and really like it!
Rosie, do you use whole eggs? My daughter and I looked into this, and it seems some people use just yolks, some use just whites, and some used whole eggs. I haven’t tried any yet, but I’m wondering different hair types make a difference.
I do use whole eggs. This seems to work really well for me. It cuts the grease and leaves my hair soft and 'clean'. It's so amazing! I feel incredibly empowered to use eggs from my chickens instead of plastic shampoo bottles with long lists of crazy ingredients. So simple!
I second question about hair care - washing, dyeing and any new discoveries in that area. Me personally - I use my home made hair soap ( oils+lye) for a year already. It feels okey, although cant say it washes everything- the hair is slightly oily after ( sometimes I rinse with ACV, but it gives smell:) I alternate it with soap nuts liquid, still not happy as it seems both soap and nuts strip something away…
I checked the ph of my hair soap -its app 7- might be the soaps overall are to harsh for the hair?
I have some grey hair and using for dyeing organic henna+other plant mix+eg yolk to stay during night. I also using hydrosol spray on my hair.
In summary I am not happy with the results from these simple natural care products. It seems conventional Johnsonn shampoo was leaving hair better( and I was never using other additional products for my hair).
Hi Tara, so fun to have Q&A's again!

For the egg yolk/honey does it make a difference if you have hard water? Our water is so hard
We have pretty hard well water, and it still works for me!
