Very educational but like me, I live in the city and there are no roosters allowed🤷‍♀️why have a broody when the eggs are not fertile🤔

[@vintagespider5627]

I don’t have a farm or anything like it .....but I love your positive sprit .......and I learn a lot. 🌝 love your videos

[@angiem5182]

I have an EXCELLENT broody! 😭 But I have no rooster and can't handle any more. I've taken eggs, emptied the box of all the fluff, removed her often, put her on the roost at night. We're going to put her in a kennel today and block off the boxes at bedtime. If I ever need a mama, I hope she'll be available💗

[@comfortablynumb143]

Got my first broodie yesterday. No fertile eggs here. Into the dog crate she went.

[@kalikale3969]

Great video! Thank you and blessings to you and yours. I had 4 broody hens this year. One of last year's chicks when broody and now her momma is broody AGAIN! She was trying to hatch out the fake eggs LOL So, I took those out before she really got 'set.' So far, I've had 3 Bannies and one Sexlink go broody this year. The issue I have had was in all the eggs hatching. One momma had 6 eggs and only hatched out 3 before she left the nest letting the other 3 die. :( Another hatched out 6 of 11 (None some of those died before hand. Guess that's why they say never to count your chickens before they hatch.) Love your spirit, gal. Wish I lived closer, you are my kind of 'people.' But, I'll have to just remain, State neighbors as I'm way down in SW Arkansas. See ya on here though! Again. Blessings!

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

Great video ....

[@melissajohnson2935]

I have 3 game bantam hens and 1 rooster. 1 went broody so I let her sit. Put her in her own broody pen and she's done great, hatch due on the 22nd! Since then my other 2 hens have gone broody too! Now these are small little chickens but I took 5, yes 5 full size eggs out from under her today FIVE! these are only slightly bigger than serama's so this was an accomplishment 🤣 boy was she mad...the other one had 3 under her....and our poor baby daddy is out grazing alone, sleeping alone, poor guy!

[@deborahtraylor296]

The white rooster is beautiful what breed is he

[@carolineibanez841]

Deborah Traylor he is perfect

[@jeanettedolan138]

Leghorn

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

Harvey is 1/2 Blue Sumatra & 1/2 White Leghorn

[@jennyhansel3599]

Have you ever had to break a broody duck ... actually a Muscovy? Have been removing all eggs from her (eggs laid by our Ancona girls) for going on two weeks, but the Muscovy stays on the empty nest 90% of the day. She's a big grouch to the other ducks when she comes out for a quick food & potty break. I hate to put her in a dog crate, but it's looking like I'll have to do that. Advice?

[@laylascuteserama6171]

What a view 😍

[@vernfl291]

BEBE CHICKEES!!!!!!!!😄

[@ratlifffamilylawns8104]

I put MY broody hen in a raised wire bottom pen for three days . breaks them every time

[@kaitlinsfamilyfarmstead]

Holy smoke your roses are beautiful! ! My broody is on day 13 first time I have left a girl, we will see how things go

[@drinehart73]

Thanks, Patara! Timely advice for me. Went to let out my hens this morning, and had a resistant Red Star not wanting off a clutch of eggs for the second morning in a row. Since we are leaving on vacation around the approximate hatching time, I would not personally be on hand to manage the situation. Based on your advice, I think it is better to break my broody, even though managing a broody would add to my skill set. You helped make my decision easier. Wishing you great success with your conference. I hope all runs smoothly for you.

[@NothingToNoOneInParticular]

MR PEACHES! Total fan girl of Mr Peaches, lol. Love the new chickens too.

[@maceydelaney4294]

Love your videos! You’re definitely one of my favorite KZbinrs!💕🐣

[@mindivanhouten310]

I've got 12 hens, not counting my 2 month old pullets, and have had 3 broodies in the last week and a half. I have what I call a broody pen. I put them in with just dirt, food and water. A good 4 or 5 days seems to work on our farm. It's always been just my Buff Orpingtons and my Cochins. My Rhode Island Reds and Colombian Wyandottes have never gone broody on me.

[@cindydodson2000]

What breed lays those pretty blue eggs?

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

Cream Legbar

[@cindydodson2000]

Thank you

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

Thank you for that information, Patera. You gave a lot of knowledge in such a short video! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@iGoogledit79]

Hi Patera! I was wondering if you had any problems with the broody hen smelling bad? No info on the tube addressing this issue. Thanks

[@robertware5076]

your eventbrite link doesn't work

[@sharoncheek244]

This information is just what I needed! We have two very broody hens we’ve been unable to break. Going to try to the elevated dog crate you suggested. Taking eggs didn’t work. Frozen water bottles under their breasts didn’t work. Both hens are sitting on two ceramic eggs in the same nesting box at present. I’m at my wit’s end. Thank you again!

[@93seldomseen]

Thanks for the info. I have to ask, what breed is the white rooster at the end of this video. He is pictured at 9:30m to 9:40m.

[@MsCaterific]

Your homestead is beaUtiful!

[@amandataylor682]

I've been studying all your broody videos. I was so excited. Then a snake came into the coop and ate all her eggs. 😥

[@exotickeeper4181]

At least the hen is alive... Count ur blessings

[@elhombredeoro955]

Buy a bunch of peafowl, they are snake Terminators.

[@amandataylor682]

@@elhombredeoro955 I have a peahen but everyone was out foraging in my backyard when it happened. We're starting over. She's proving herself to be a very reliable broody.

[@ratlifffamilylawns8104]

I am so sorry about that

[@normamccomas9272]

loved it! things are looking gorg there!

[@cherylmatthews7172]

Wow look at that view!

[@marybaumgardner260]

Thanks

[@robertahall4553]

Nice video

[@branl3437]

You should do a homestead tour!

[@robertware5076]

I'm coming from out of state for the GAHC ...I'm a veteran (retired) is there a hotel that is affiliated or recommended?

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

There are 22 hotels in Cookeville. The Conference hotel is Comfort Inn & Comfort Inn & Suites. Call and ask for the rate mentioning our conference.

[@sharonmoake7827]

Can you replace the eggs with baby chicks? Will this shorten her broodiness?

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

Maybe-Depends on if she takes them.

[@jodyflores601]

Harvey is a handsome dude. :)

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

Sweet, too!

[@carolineibanez841]

Help I am getting 3 baby Silkies in mail what do I feed them. I need an expert help for happy baby chickies.

[@blakeayscue]

Feed them chick start & grow it comes in a mash. You can get it at tractor supply or any feed store.

[@woodandhookshop2354]

I also put 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar in their waterer too. Helps overall health.

[@janicerichmond886]

I have all my roosters separated with their own hens. Running out of space. What do you do with your roosters. Mine fight if they are allowed to get together.

[@melissajohnson2935]

I only allow 1 rooster with my flock..tried 2 and they fought, one dominated the other and wouldn't let him do what a rooster wants to do. And it caused the one being bullied to be human aggressive. So either keep doing what your doing or get rid of some roosters. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TWILIGHTR0SE]

I'm sorry all the eggs were lost to a nasty snake, can you put other eggs under her? She will probably take them right away.
