Omgosh, AMAZING footage of the Mantis. They're beautiful bugs, but even once I was scared when I saw a huge Mantis swaying back and forth. I thought for sure it was going to attack me. It was on my front door. I called the apartment manager for help, and thank God he did or I don't know what I would have done. It's good to know they won't hurt the hens. Thanks for this fun and informative video.

[@tanksithomas]

Excellent video and totally entertaining! Thanks for the information on the Mantis, but I sure feel bad for the mail Mantis!

[@thefeatherbrain]

Me too!

[@joannehinkel9415]

Wonderful and interesting! You went to a lot of work to find clips that illustrate your points, and I loved the dramatic music! I have to admit, though, that my favorite parts were when you were channeling your inner preying mantis!

[@AvalonWoodsHomestead]

I love the praying mantis! I had a pet when when I was little until the first time I saw it bite to head off a grasshopper, LOL.

[@bobschallalcs584]

good video - some mantis will spit at their prey I remember as a child me and my friend and I would worry about them spiting at us that we may being blinded

[@thefeatherbrain]

That does sound terrifying!

That was hysterical! I'm sending it to my daughter, who doesn't have chickens - just for the entertainment value :)

[@barks-and-recreation]

i actaully just spit my drink out... *startle response* xD

[@thefeatherbrain]

Wish I could have seen that... :)

[@MosaicHomestead]

Years ago I had a giant rooster, here these giant chickens are called Palunda, I was playing with a baby Puerto Rican boa (snake) that I found, curious I threw the snake at the giant Palunda chicken to see what would happen...The shock I had at what I saw still shocks me today lol...The giant chicken steps on the snake, kills the snake, and swallow the snake whole, I have never seen something that freaky in my life lol.

[@thefeatherbrain]

That's intense! Don't mess a Palunda rooster is the lesson of that story lol!

my find praying mantis all the time, but we would like them not to eat them, but what can one do.

THE ENTIRE VIDEO, CONTENT, DRAMATIZATION IS OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY! THE WITTY WAY IN WHICH "EVERY WORD" IS "PERFECTLY CHOSEN!" I SINCERELY BELIEVE THIS ENTIRE LIL YOU-TUBE, SHOULD WIN THE GRANDEST AWARD EVER POSSIBLE! YOU, YOUR IMAGINATION, THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHARMING SUBJECT, IS BY FAR SO DELIGHTFUL, CAPTIVATING, ENTERTAINING AND "BRILLIANT!" NOT BORDERING BRILLIANT... BUT "IS" BRILLIANT! BURSTING WITH CREATIVITY, SPUNK, WIT AND A LEVEL OF ADORABILITY THAT NOTHING CAN COMPETE WITH! TRULY, YOU NEED TO SUBMIT IT FOR APPRAISAL AND APPLAUDING RECOGNITION!

You are too kind - thank you for making my day. :)

[@thomasciciyan6708]

Hello. i feed my two road iland red hens , with huge cockroachs , at most of nights here. QUESTION1 : is it wrong to let them eat cockroaches?! QUESTION2 : how many hours takes time , for that eaten cockroach, to change into eggs? QUESTION3: does this effect on egg's taste?! QUESTION4: should we eat eggs made out of cockroaches? or let them to change into baby chickens?! 🐣🐥

[@thefeatherbrain]

1) It's not wrong to feed them cockroaches. Chickens love bugs. Just make sure they also have access to a balanced feed. 2) The number of eggs your chickens will lay depends on the breed. The most eggs hens can lay is almost daily (they will need to take a break once a week or so), but again, this will depend on the breed you have. 3) Eating cockroaches should not affect the taste of the egg. 4.) Either is fine. If you decide to eat the eggs, collect them quickly. Collect them once a day. If you a have a rooster, the eggs may be fertilized (you can still eat them). but if you want more chickens, let the hens brood the eggs and hatch them. If you'd rather have eggs than chicks, then simply collect the eggs once a day. Hope this answer your questions satisfactorily, Bri

[@growling-garden]

we have a chicken that was born with both sexes, we hah named sunshine, but lately, we have had our feet attacked and bitten, what can we do?

[@cookingsherry8784]

How do you tell if they are both sexes? I have a supposed Ameraucan that has the coloring of of a male (blue wheaten) and slight tail feathers, not laying eggs yet (should be) that I know of. I posted pictures to a chicken forum, and everyone thereclaim it is a female Easter egger instead.

[@growling-garden]

@@cookingsherry8784 we had them DNA tested for species/ breed and sex,

[@cookingsherry8784]

@@growling-garden Thanks! Do you have to go to a chicken vet for that and for that, and how much does it cost?
