[@Guildbrookfarm]

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

[@kristinblack4763]

😂😂😂😂 *picks up the stick* NOO

[@djspeer9756]

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

[@67judson]

Why wouldn't you let Jeremy play fetch with the rooster!?

[@Guildbrookfarm]

😂

[@perpetuallearner5416]

LOL!!

[@Rainbow-da.1st]

LOL

[@maranash71]

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

[@sydgamer6665]

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

[@aliciamcnamar8203]

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

[@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. 😊

[@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

[@RubenStim]

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

[@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.

[@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. 🤣

[@nathancaffarelli2724]

7:30 NO!😆

[@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.

[@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...

[@CogHillFarm]

House chickens are def the best!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

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

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Good stuff!! Fluff butt!

[@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.) (: (:

[@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.

[@vippiggygirl8926]

Congratulation baby chickens! So sweet, blessing from the UK

[@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😂

[@Downeastwaves]

Thanks, very cute babies. The piggies too!

[@paage.soobin]

Mom: I have McDonalds! Me: 0:05

[@annettenewton6240]

Have a question for you concerning my new chick. I have one that has on both feet the second and third toe webbed together. Have you ever dealt with this, is it a big concern or what should I do. This is my first time in getting chicks. They are about 9 days old.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

As long as it doesn’t have trouble walking, eating or drinking it will probably work itself out. Just keep an eye on it 👍🏻

[@angelarai1]

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

[@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'?

[@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!

[@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

[@davidfayle7654]

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

[@b_iuw]

I'm watching this because I love chickens

[@didine256]

I'm gonna trade the time I spend on KZbin for a bunch of chickens and it will be so much funnier 😂

[@renatab9358]

Trade half

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

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

[@joshblick]

7:26 I laughed so hard I hurt my back LOL

[@MarblesShae]

0:05 woah that is one crazy chicken

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 👍

[@meizhulin2719]

Thank you for not abusing chickens

[@joanreid2804]

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

[@vidili68]

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

[@rennells]

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

[@chrisdewet9030]

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

[@brianwhite9555]

Does a broody hen quit laying her own eggs at some point, deciding "Okay, that's enough to set on." Do you think these hatchlings are all hers, or might another hen have sneaked one in before you marked them? Will you keep a record of clutch sizes for each broody hen, either for future planning, or curiosity? Nice to see your flock increase.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

They stop laying when they go broody. None of the chicks are hers. Chickens don’t care whose eggs they are they just want to sit in them. They’ll even hatch out duck and quail eggs. We do keep track of them because we sell them at 8 weeks.

[@1870s]

Now that's sustainability at its finest!

[@tammyshepherd9069]

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

[@elizavo5858]

0:05 welp she snapped

[@sylviabradley7355]

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

[@lisabooker6405]

Cute chicks...spoiled chicken! 😂😂😂

[@sooling2]

When you say you ‘gave her 8 eggs’ can you explain?

[@raincoast9010]

I think what they mean is that some or all of the eggs came from other chickens from their flock that the rooster had fertilized.

[@jodyflores601]

Goodness, that was fun to watch!! Did you get a haircut Jaime? I really like it! Thank you for sharin', I appreciate it. :)

[@lucerelxxxviii8192]

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

[@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

[@kauhaneadams1524]

“Pterodactyl like noise”, mmmmmmmm? Bhuwahahaha! Love this channel!

[@Crazycatlady1836]

Blueberry is a precious, fluffy butt girl!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Yep!

[@twistedgoats8305]

Would you mind doing a more detailed video on how you made the broody "A" frame. I could use this for my silkie hens

[@Guildbrookfarm]

I will now that I know how to build it.

[@twistedgoats8305]

Thank you!

[@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.

[@rachel4483]

I don't move the family to a new run. None of the birds I've ever had will mess with a broody hen more than once and most don't even try. The broody integrates the chicks in the flock and I never have to deal with introductions. A cock or hen that kills chicks should be culled IMO. I've never had to do it, but that would be a cull offense. It's self-defeating in the line. That goes for my muscovies and ducks/drakes too. I have culled drakes and ducks for trying though, but that's more of a stage than a permanent state (but both duck and beef duck is yummy, and that makes me uninclined to build a grow out pen). If you're worried about that and want to try not separating, I'd consider putting out a feeder and keeping them fat and happy for a few weeks if you're not doing that already. Hungry chickens can be violent chickens.

[@rachel4483]

Also, you may find that the hens don't necessarily take their chicks back to their nest. They generally pick a new sheltered spot in the coop that's a little secluded to sleep. That way they don't have to sleep on appealing smelling hatching debris that can attract vermin.

[@valeried4504]

Spring is in the air...

[@lonevikingonstamfordbridge2676]

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

[@renatab9358]

Me too

[@cathleencaratan3373]

Dang it! Now I want to make a run to Trader Joe’s for some Toblerone.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

It’s awesome lol

[@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!

[@hoss5299]

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

[@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. 🐥🐥🐥🐥!

[@catherinelong4682]

I posted a link on your last video to what seems to be a great informative utube channel for homesteading and off grid info. Hope y'all find it useful.

[@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.

[@nikolaikarpovich1128]

Perfect timing on the broody hen’s entrance

[@elizabethg2062]

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

[@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

[@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]

😉

[@scorpio7five]

"Nooo" 😂

[@dballard8660]

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

[@Carol_Pearson]

Aww! Baby chicks are adorable.

[@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!

[@mariedelozier2530]

Surprised the old hen didn't flog y'all tryin' to watch them chicks hatch!!

[@クロウ-y9i]

You guys are living the life

[@readytogarden3770]

When your babies come outside make sure they don't get in with the pigs. Pigs love chicken snacks.

[@SPCLPONY]

I put a mark all the way around the eggs when I noticed the hen sitting on them. This way, I can see at a quick glance if there are any new eggs. So far, no. And I'm excited that I have 2 broody hens sitting in side by side boxes. Each on 8 eggs.

[@elliehodgson3876]

What are the little pad things that some of them have on their backs?

[@piabolopion6648]

ellie they’re called chicken saddles to protect them from excessive pecking :)

[@shellyrees7946]

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

[@HHeirloomIA]

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

[@CodyHorse]

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

[@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 .

[@Souixno]

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

[@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!

[@FarmallFanatic]

What kind of chicken is that broody hen? Lol u just said...why wasnt she sitting when u opened the nesting box?

[@arsalanfarooq468]

she is a Cochin hen

[@mariedelozier2530]

Them big ole duffle-butt hens is good for broodin' but no good for aig production...

[@DustinDean]

that is so exciting to get new chicks especially when its your hen that hatches them.

[@brendadoherty3060]

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

[@hickokhomestead8730]

Ohhhh how wonderful!!! Congrats on the new addition

[@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! ❤️

[@blondykay6]

Broody Momma aka Fluffy Butt scared the crap out of me when she ran out. lol

[@JoeKrol]

Another great!! I noticed a couple of the chickens wearing a covering on their backs what is that for? Oh you have trained Jeremy very well. Lol. Love the videos!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHbMhaebi9B6mq8

[@GypsyPaz]

why are some of the chickens wearing paper plates? is that a short cut to the dinner table or protection from other chickens pecking at them?

[@mimib6955]

Lol! Here's the video on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHbMhaebi9B6mq8

[@nateplayz8555]

It’s a saddle

[@virimndza8583]

So happy the chicken family is growing again 😍

[@Shuna2011]

Oh dear.....the fact that you know what a pterodactyl sounds like is just too scary. Together with bears and snakes, perhaps the USA is far too dangerous for us Brits to risk visiting. 😊🌺

[@bookie7316]

Your videos are so well thought out and put together. Impressive! It's interesting to learn so much about homesteading. You are excellent teachers. Thank you.

[@melancholly007]
