[@Guildbrookfarm]

Probably throw the eggs away. Lol. Incubation is 21 days. If they don’t hatch they’re probably not fertilized.

[@maranash71]

Congrats! On the new babies. Call them " eight is enough"❤😜

[@aliciamcnamar8203]

Jeremy's nic-names for the hen. LOL this was great.

[@djspeer9756]

Loved that "Mom" voice.... NO!!!!! lol and just like a kid doing what that voice said, smile and drop the stick.... awesome....

[@sydgamer6665]

Blueberry : "DUDE!" Other Hen: "WAT?!" Blueberry: "GET YOUR OWN BOX!!" lols

[@RubenStim]

"So we have a broody hen." Broody hen: "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME????"

[@kristinblack4763]

😂😂😂😂 *picks up the stick* NOO

[@deederdoo]

I've raised two generations of incubator chicks and I'm excited to say that today my first hen raised eggs started to hatch.

[@momaldonado3248]

How's the chicks? I see your post 1 month old! I got broodie hens that are sitting one on 3 eggs and the other on 4...

[@joanreid2804]

I love your videos. Your daughter was so adorable with her sweet little voice expressing excitement over the baby chicks.

[@missOhdrey]

ahaha ''Hey Butterball''. Tammy is so docile, she clearly loves the attention. Cutie.

[@ivegottabeme1]

I love hearing the bids chirp in the background. We have a spoiled hen too, she always runs to my husband to be picked up. Thanks for the chicken tractor video, this is on our list.

[@frightbat208]

Gosh I love the dorking style chook. Fluffy pants and fluffy butt, just beautiful and round. You guys are so interesting. I had a good giggle when Jeremy thought about lobbing a stick at the rude rooster. 🤣

[@cynthiabrennemann3513]

So...I was amused at your husband arguing with the birds. How does he feel about his life being at the point that he can mutter, unironically, "spoiled chicken" as part of his normal conversation and not mean supper gone bad? lol

[@brendasmiley6128]

Great video. The babies🐣💚. My favorite part was Jeremy picking up stick to throw at the roo crowing and you said NO! That made my day😁. So funny😂

[@hisimagenme]

Yeehaw! That was fun! Loved it! Lol..."spoiled chicken, how'd you get so spoiled?" As he rubs the under side of her wings and...puts that spoilin' lovin all over her! Congrats on those cutie pies! Great to see you guys! Smiles and blessings...

[@Fidg234]

Love everything about your videos but especially liked the pet chicken and you saying NO to your hubby wanting to throw something at your rooster. In addition I look forward to the reaction you all have toward different situations.

[@sylviabradley7355]

I love the loud opening to this video with the broody mom🐣

[@dianehall5345]

What fun. First chicks! I incubated hundreds of duck and goose eggs. Sometimes I let a goose sit on a clutch of eggs. But they don't see all that well and can accidently step on their goslings. But the whole tribe of adult geese will protect and raise those babies!

[@preachersdtr1]

For me, there is something so comforting about these sights and sounds - broody mama and chicks - all is right with the world when I listen and watch. Thank you for sharing this with us. (P.S: Jeremy and his feathery daughter, following at his heels every step, there, are priceless! lol! You made my day! So glad I subscribed in time for this video's notification.) (: (:

[@angelarai1]

awe im so happy your happy in on your new off grid home , much love and loads of hugs for you all xx

[@lonevikingonstamfordbridge2676]

She (Broody Hen) has an epic entrance! Love it!

[@renatab9358]

Me too

[@sarahharris4435]

Who knew that chickens were such characters! Please keep us posted.

[@tammyshepherd9069]

Their so cute congratulations babt chicks.🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

[@vippiggygirl8926]

Congratulation baby chickens! So sweet, blessing from the UK

[@Spect8orSpecter]

Marking the eggs is so clever! I might not have thought of that on my own when I get my own flock together! Thank you for the tip! So clever ^_^

[@ricwoodie1779]

Marking the eggs is the way to go, but I like to draw a line around the egg so that I can easily tell which ones belong in the nest without having to inspect each egg.

[@terijean6351]

All 8 hatched! Awesome! 💕

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Yep!

[@thebaseballboy214]

I'm watching this because I love chickens

[@virimndza8583]

So happy the chicken family is growing again 😍

[@1870s]

Now that's sustainability at its finest!

[@cassityart7001]

Yay! Am so glad you are raising your own birds! I did this for years and it was wonderful though we took a lot of grief from “experts” from the feed store. We managed hens closely and had great success. Then we traded out roosters of new lines to keep the traits we liked. Now my adult children can do the same thing. Lovely. 🐥🐥🐥🐥!

[@nikkid114]

So good to see you guys. Hope all is well!! Blueberry is adorable. Aww the little meepers. Such a good momma she is.

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Good stuff!! Fluff butt!

[@gabbiesmeemee]

Lol I've been eating Toblerone chocolate for 43 years. Introduced to it in Germany as a military brat lol love your videos and how they bring back happy memories from my childhood Deb

[@illyannaturtle6950]

awww, those babies are so cute! You should make a video about them every week, to show their progress! Or just one video with clips from all the weeks.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Good idea!

[@terry_679]

A setting hen will screech like that to bring attention to herself to pretend she's running from danger. It's her way to protect her eggs/brood. A mother's love .

[@Downeastwaves]

Thanks, very cute babies. The piggies too!

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Congrats on the new chicks! Great job on the new broody house, this should keep them safe.

[@perpetuallearner5416]

8 out of 8!! Congrats! Just remember, if any of them grow up to be roosters, don't tell them they used to be chicks. It'll take the wind right out of their cock-a-doodle-doo.

[@CogHillFarm]

House chickens are def the best!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Temmie doesn’t have any cool outfits yet though like Penny. 😜

[@melancholly007]

So sweet! Congratulations!

[@wandadoty]

I just play this video on high volume and all the girls that are getting broody will carry on ! Tyvm

[@hickokhomestead8730]

Ohhhh how wonderful!!! Congrats on the new addition

[@ziegenvinehomestead]

Love it when things work as nature intended! Hope the snow is gone for you "southerners" - Just saw on the weather channel- we may be getting more snow in a week... Yay Spring!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Ugh this weather!

[@LifeGoesNorth]

Nice Chicken Toblerone. What a sweet momma hen! Also, I don’t think Ilaria is the only one who loves Tammy the Chicken. Just sayin. 😊

[@dballard8660]

Nice video. Congratulations on the recent additions to the homestead. Will be fun to watch them grow.

[@shellyrees7946]

Boy, she sure had quite the entrance at the beginning...LOL

[@TheKristenGibson]

Omg super cute! ❤️ that's a perfect little mama chicken tractor.

[@AlmostHomestead]

Picks up stick to silence Rooster...No! Hilarious🤣 Congratulations on your new chicks.

[@diyfferent]

Cute little things. Good thing you kept that broody chicken, she is so useful! I love seeing chicks hatched by hens. Now you have more chickens added to the flock, awesome!

[@kleineroteHex]

Your decision is what I thought would be a good compromise, and I don't even have chickens 😊 fluff but is about right, cute!

[@Carol_Pearson]

Aww! Baby chicks are adorable.

[@davidfayle7654]

Jeremy says Tammy is spoiled but you can tell he loves that chicken, it’s like my dad with the dog😂

[@CodyHorse]

so exciting!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for sharing!

[@lucerelxxxviii8192]

looking forward to the chicks getting their names. this is such a lovely video, please continue with this type of content, thank you

[@Souixno]

The little brooder house and run is pretty awesome. Jeremy has building skills that I wish I had. :)

[@victoriar8668]

I love how you guys explain everything from start to finish. Like how you even included the chicks hatching in this video. Absolutely love your channel edit: hahaha apparently I didn't read the video title, only the thumbnail lol

[@Guildbrookfarm]

😉

[@valeried4504]

Spring is in the air...

[@Vin_SMB]

Aww, how sweet! We had a blue cochin, named Flora, that was a retired show bird that was given to me. She thought she was a house chicken. One Easter she climbed into a basket I had filled with ceramic eggs. After that we gave her eggs to sit for us but one day we couldn't find any of our chicks. When we checked Flora, she had 22 chicks under her wings! She was the best chicken!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Aww! She must have been a big fluff butt to fit 22!

[@Vin_SMB]

She was big but in all fairness, some were bantys and silkies!

[@chrisdewet9030]

So happy for you! I saw the piggies are doing well in the background, really epic stuff!

[@paulaedens3463]

We've never separated our momma's and babies. I've never had a problem with other chicken's messing with the babies. Chicken momma's are pretty fierce I've even had them attack me when I picked up a chick.

[@moonlitedaze5688]

Yay .. the babies are so cute and good to hear they are doing well! Love the build you made...thank you!

[@glenncountry]

When i was a kid my folks sold eggs. A few hundred layers. All free range. A few roosters mixed in. I would find the clucks (broody hens) and set them on eggs someplace with a bushel basket over them for one day. When i removed the basket they always adopted that nest as their own. Three weeks later she was running around the yard with her chicks.

[@tanroj3252]

That would be an awesome video. Would love to see how that works

[@hoss5299]

Great video. Loved the music. Nice mix of information and comedy. Very much enjoyed it.

[@FreeAmericaChannel]

Hatching chicks is one of the great joys of homesteading. There is no way not to love it.

[@nikolaikarpovich1128]

Perfect timing on the broody hen’s entrance

[@victorm7274]

I built a brooder box with in the coop. I believe it’s a better option. Advantage is A- no other hen can use her nesting box. B-the hen and her chick are safe from other birds. C- the hen is familiar with the nesting box. D-once the chicks hatch, it could act as a brooder and be acclimated to the existing flock.

[@rennells]

Our Hannah Dog loves baby chicks. She was chewing her chewy and tried to give it to the baby chicks. Lol

[@julieschossow9315]

Congrats on your chicks! Nothing sweeter than baby chicks. ♥

[@avonleanne]

ok, if and or WHEN i get chickens, that is what I want to do! Let Mother Nature do its thing! How stinkin cool!!! congrats on the chicks!!! and I love the toblerone!! LOL

[@essemsween818]

Wouldn't you know it, just when you need her to be warm & cosy, it snows! Congratulations on your first off-grid new borns - you have the 'Nosiest' Chickens in Christendom 😄 or should that be 'Beakiest'?

[@TamJ320]

We have had a mama Buff Orpington raise chicks within the coop and the flock 3 times and not one incident. They actually move into a better place on the pecking order. She wouldn't let any of the birds near them and no reintroduction necessary. Good luck to you and Broody mama!

[@Pinkenstein]

Congratulations! Excellent build! I'm so grateful for your videos. I know when we finally get started, and things start happening, I can come back to your channel and know right what to do. You guys really are awesome. Thanks for sharing this occasion.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Aww thanks! ❤️

[@curban616]

We have hatched babies several times. We have an old dog kennel that we put wire around the bottom and built a house to put inside. It has worked wonderful. It never gets old seeing those new babies pop their little heads out..😍😍

[@ptebo7219]

Awe they are so sweet, what a great broody hen. Thanks for all the great videos! oh and instagram pictures.

[@brendadoherty3060]

I just found this video. Love it. Fluffy is gorgeous. Y’all are so blessed. Look forward to seeing more.

[@bushpushersdaughter]

Congratulations on the new babies! Aw!!! I wish Jeremy would come and cobble together a hen house for me!

[@MarblesShae]

0:05 woah that is one crazy chicken

[@marilinfausto7615]

I’m so dead the way she came out 😂

[@jb41161]

awwww so sweet I wish I could give hearts like on facebook instead of just a thumbs up cause I loved this video

[@vidili68]

Hi there. You two have good information 🙄🤔👍👍👍

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

Aww, cute little chickies! I loved the roo keeping an eye on how the brooder was coming together. He looked like an inspector - making sure those angles were "cute" enough. :-P

[@lisabooker6405]

Cute chicks...spoiled chicken! 😂😂😂

[@mahealaniw]

That is awesome! I wanna have chickens and maybe raise my own but still thinking on that one. Thanks for sharing and giving info, very very helpful 👍

[@christinacotton1101]

[@brandytrevino]

[@ciaobella8963]

Wow, so cool. Pretty looking chicks, healthy too. "Hey Fluff Butt, hey Butterball" haha, by any name she's a good Mama.

[@ubetchya78]

Congrats on the first babies born on the new Guildbrook Farm! It's almost like you're their nana! Adorable little chicks, and "mamma" Cochin is none the wiser that they're not really her babies, not even the same breed. lol Good job Jeremy on building the little mini brooder tractor.

[@HHeirloomIA]

Congrats! Your are chickie parents! Ahhh, chicken love is grand ain't it?

[@ducklover2158]

Super cute! Congratulations to y’all and blueberry!

[@elizabethg2062]

I laughed so hard when he said "You're not helping." and pointed at the rooster!

[@terawattyear]

I just love how the chickens come when you call them. Looks like y’all are having fun.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Yeah it’s pretty cool. 😊

[@user-lv7me6li6q]
