Thanks i will try this

Meat birds don't need to roost?

What if your chicken lost their feathers around the vent and you can’t really check there?

Ive raised cornish cross before. They never made it to the processing phase because they became pets.

My hen just had chicks(I just saw them this morning),thanks for this video.have to head to TSC!

I know this video is old, but I love it. That is how I grew up with chickens, and so did my parents and grandparents. They didn't buy chickens every year and had no incubators. The chickens reproduced on their own. They also only supplemented with grains and never bought store bought feed, and the chickens always free ranged and got kitchen scraps. Same principles I'm sticking to, too, except I supplement with feed as well as other grains and kitchen scraps. But I never have free choice feed available all day. Works really good for us on cutting the costs for raising and maintaining our flock 😊

Thanks

Mine must be different. It is too hot for my chicks to touch it without it burning them. It’s not for them to touch it and be warmed up. It RADIATES heat downward and warms them up that way. Lay a thermometer under it and you will see it reach 100 degrees easily.

do you do the slaughtering by yourself?

I prefer to keep my older hens in the same flock as they probably have laid a batch of eggs that would have grown up to be their successors. But to help with that, if the chickens are too young to lay, Id buy hens that are laying and just add them to my flock. There is chance for chick mortality while theyre young so there’s always room for more chickens. Old hens would die out too so there will be slots that need to fill out anyway.

How soon after a hen goes broody can i try this

The dark spot is the chicken eye, seen this comment in other videos.😊

Jusr kiding😂

This isent helpfull

Damn thats cute! 😍

Brilliant, this was really helpful, thanks 👍

One silly question: I have a daughter and I refuse to let her eat all the crap that is in the supermarkets. I am starting a garden and I want to start a little flock for my family consumption. I am thinking of meatbirds and hens for laying (I do have quite a lot of experience with laying hens, but not meatbirds). I wanted to get some fertilized meatbird eggs, and the question is what to do with the meatbird hens. Do I keep them for eggs? Can I harvest them the same as the boys? I was thinking on keeping maybe 2 to 3 hens and a rooster so I can hatch my own meatbirds, but I don't know if its worth to harvest the hens too, for family consumtion. I am from spain and traditionally hens are used mostly for stewing and chicken for almost everything else.

Thank you!

Thank you. Many MANY years ago, I lived on a farm. I’ve watched chicken eggs & even duck eggs I swiped from a few nests because my birth father wanted to hatch some to give to a family friend in order to bring some diversity to his ducks. About two weeks ago, my daughter brought fresh eggs from a friend’s chickens. I can’t explain why I had the suspicion at first, but I checked the eggs with a flashlight. I found three possibles & missed one. I’m thankful I was the one cracking the eggs that day. The eggs aren’t refrigerated. They’re eat here before ever needing to water check them. The three questionables are in a heated box with a dish of water for humidity. It isn’t a proper incubator but I have hatched finches this way. Oh, the most possible egg has the air sack & I’ve seen veins. My daughter agrees with me about the veining. Time will tell. Wouldn’t you know it. It’s a dark brown egg. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you and I will be watching how to do the sauce ❤

Where are you located

I have 2 Batam roosters that are inseparable, and they share a hen. They do dance every now and again though other than that they're civil

Hello I love your Channel. Would you please let me know where I can get eggs for chicken meat for hatching? Or chicks

Terrible advice. Onions are toxic to dogs.

Thank You

I could see the eyes and full of datkness oneside but i couldnt see any movement. How to know they are alive or not

I have a hen and it appeared she wasn’t going to be a good mum so I put her chick along with her eggs in my incubator. But it turned out she was a great mum and I put that chick back and then a few days later a couple more chicks. Then a few days later another 2…all is going very well. The oldest chick is now 20 days old and I have 2 more chicks that have hatched in the last 2-3 days in the incubator…is it way too risky to try putting them under her. Even possibly putting them under her and letting them be with her briefly to get used to it and putting back in the brooder during the day and bit by bit…get them used to each other?

Would be real nice if on the product page, or even in this video, it would tell you how many watts it uses and voltage rating.

I guess you have been busy this year.

Looks like a solid budget kayak 👊🏼 #Michigan

Is this amount of vegetables and livestock sufficient for a family of 4? Excluding parties sometimes. 🤔

Quite informative 👍!

Is plucking a silkie Any different from plucking a regular chicken?

How was the taste for the bantams compared to the hen? I understand there is less meat

What a beautiful flock? Do you use hatcheries or hatch your own or both? Really nice flock. Thanks...Kevin

Nice video. I want to share something I just learned and tried with success. I was told not to move my broody till she had chicks under her. I tried this all night by securing her away from other hens. Then in the morning once she had bounded with them I was able to move her successfully. ( note : she adopted 4 chicks at 1.5 week broody) I moved her with 1 egg which seemed to remind her what she was supposed to be doing. ❤🐓 they are all different. This may help someone.

Paper towel are slippery and can cause this problem. Instead, use blue automotive paper towels. They are not slippery

We have our broody about to hatch in a pen exactly the same as yours. We have shut off the door to the steep steps since we're sure the chicks could risk falling and will move her into a different pen after a few days.

Love your candeler! Why did you get it from? I need one!

Bro I’ve been completely soaking my chickens 😅😂😭

I liked the simple way you showed for this process Thank you for sharing the knowledge Every thing should be less complicated,like i mean in nature things happens in simple process...with no machinery etc..chicken just sits on eggs,rotates egss....and yes here they are...small chicks in nest😊 Thanks for sharing simple process

So informative and real! Thanks so much!!

Gonna turn this into a fishing kayak

Thank you!🙏

Do the included heaters have the slots for the legs?

Cool.I have over a hundred pigeons too keep warm

I have a huge 10 watt square black light that I'm going to try tonight : )

I hope you save the broth to add to gravy’s .

The way the babies quickly stick their heads out and in from the mama is so cute!
