Incubating Chickens is SUPER Easy!

[@pigtailbbq1982]

The chicken came first. God created the chicken.

[@BrianPellerin]

amen 🙏 🐓

[@aprilfurcean8302]

A few of my elementary school classes incubated chickens in the classroom. Checking on the eggs every day and watching them hatch was the highlight of my elementary school years. I have never forgotten it.

Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤❤😊

Babies are so cute !! My friend's son was nine year's and I asked him where do egg's come from. He said, "the egg tree." Daniel is right with teaching children about life. A wonderful video, Daniel.

[@pamsprague4454]

I enjoy watching you and your family, knowing you don't have to worry about foul language or inappropriate things, that is a blessing.

[@theresasmitherman9708]

My. Oldest granddaughter is 29 & never been around farm animals. She’s decided she wants chickens. I support her. I think everyone should learn about them. I love them. Thanks, Daniel, for this very informative video! 💕💕

[@nealnichols7529]

Several years ago I incubated geese and they imprinted on me. They followed me every step I made outside. I fixed them a large open coop for their home. Best watchdogs we ever had!

[@sydneygrace7309]

We have the nurture right and ABSOLUTELY love it we put 21 eggs in and got 21 chicks which is INCREDIBLE

[@peterdubyoski4622]

Ever since i tried this a a child, I've been hesitant to try again. Thanks for this boost of confidence. My brother cannot mess with them any more.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

When I decided I wanted to hatch eggs and started asking people questions it was so overwhelming all the different information people gave me. Everyone told me something different. The HatchMate has been perfect for me. Read the instruction manual cover to cover and did what it said and BOOM success. I tell people to just go for it and don’t get overwhelmed with all the different info. Great video Daniel!

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

I was going to comment that Cassie does great with her HatchMate but you beat me. God bless you all and your family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀

[@BIGFeathersFarm]

Ok you should watch my videos. My yt channel is Boyds Outdoors I have over 200 chickens.

[@brendagervais5566]

Very well explained. Thank you for the share

[@theresasmitherman9708]

Thanks so much!

[@dorriwaldera3081]

I bought the HatchMate due to Cassie's success with it! I have not tried it yet. :)

[@elliepedigo3390]

My 2 granddaughters and I just ordered our hatcher two days ago. They are 3&4 years old and can't wait to get started.

[@stephlaw72]

I just love the baby chicks they are so cute! Thank you for showing us step by step on how to hatch them! I'm going to try next spring once I have my yard ready for them this was awesome Daniel! 🥰

[@PD-eh5dd]

I so love watching you all and all the wonderful animals. Its so fun getting to watch how you all live, thank you for sharing your life with all of us.

[@wybuchowyukomendant]

I`m happy people are rediscovering simple skills like that. I used to hatch chicks just for fun when I was a kid, my grandma used to do it all the time on her farm (pretty much every family had a small/medium size farms here in Poland back in the day, it wasn`t fun and games behind the iron curtain), so eggs were plenty. My first heartbreak happened when the goose that I hatched tasted my calf.... hurts to this day...

[@debrabeam5474]

Great job Daniel. I know Houston has really enjoyed his incubator. You explained it well. Anyone could hatch chicks. God bless🙏

[@lilahnewton7940]

I think it's great doing your own chickens. There are children who have never seen this done, they think it all comes from there grocery store. Awesome demonstration Daniel.

[@maryjemison1101]

Lilah Newton so very True ❤

[@gaylecrytser6895]

THANK you. This is the best info I have found that explains step by step, on how to take care of eggs, to chicks. Incubate to Brooder. Great video!!!!!

[@marylouise890]

Hi everyone Having a mower you enjoy makes cutting grass fun. A decade or so back I had a cool set up. I’d go for a nice swim first. Get out hose off and start mowing. Kept going back and forth until the grass was all mowed. Of course hosing off after each switch. Even at 100 degrees plus, I never got hot. Fun memories. Hatched a few birds in my time too. I’m a animal lover! 😻👍🤲

[@lindasimmons131]

Even at 71 that was very interesting and something I would love to try and do. Thanks for sharing.

[@peterdubyoski4622]

71 youngster.

[@charleydowlearn2957]

Thanks for taking the time to inform us. Even me (who has hatched before) a refresher is necessary

[@susanabaxley493]

Thank you Daniel this was really interesting and educational. Good luck with all these babies. Hug’s from China Spring Texas 🌸

[@tommylogan6600]

My wife is a teacher and they do eggs. Now iv gotten into chickens. I bout my first chicks now I have a incubater on its way and I'm excited to try it out at home.

[@abtomlin]

This video is so helpful, I incubated a few eggs a little while back, none of them hatched. Watching this helped me understand what mistakes I possibly made and how to hopefully hatch the eggs in the incubator now.

[@barbjarvi6543]

I’ve had chicks hatch on 18 days in the incubation time. I’ve also had chicks that have had to help when two days have passed after pipping

[@dch923ster]

Daniel excellent timing for this video we're on day 19 for our incubator and my wife is so excited to add to her flock

[@dhoomy2880]

Thanks man, I bought the incubator a few days ago and I’m incubating them tonight !!

[@we_are_the_wesners]

Hatching is super easy I think most buy from the stores because they want to know (for the most part) that they will get hens and not all roosters. It's a gamble when hatching haha.

[@kathrynfriese2337]

I love backyard chickens… the group… Thank you for your information. Thank you for not going into detail on other stuff and keeping me interested. Also X marks the spot 😊

[@beckytaul4355]

Thank so so much. I have my first chickens almost 5 months got first eggs yesterday. One rooster crowed this morning. Then the 15 chickens sun rounded him a pecked lightly on his hear. So crazy. Love watching them. Been so hot here in ky too I give them ice in a pan with some food. They like that.

[@cajun8161]

Sadly a lot of people have no idea where food comes from. A lot of city people will say it comes from the store or the store warehouse. They are clueless about the farms,ranches, processors, and packaging plants.

[@carolb3122]

Back when Y2K was on the horizon, I got the little giant incubator and ordered a dozen heavy breed chicken eggs. It had no turner, so I had to turn the eggs manually. It was so exciting to watch the development of the chicks with a candler. I ended up with a pair of Turkens, 3 Barred Rocks, a Rhode Island Red and a few other breeds.

[@Hugadogaday]

Thank you so much for all this wonderful information you shared .. it was perfect timing for me.. I was about to buy my incubator so I learned so much.. I can now hatch some chicks with ease.. and if I have questions, I can refer back to the video ! Blessings Daniel

[@galsigner1]

At 75 years of age I'm attempting to hatch and raise my first chickens. I am so excited about it and going small, only 3-6 chicks. Thank you for the information you shared, just what I needed to know. I got most of my supplies from Amazon and Temu. Eggs came from a farmer on E-Bay. I cannot wait for my eggs to arrive!

[@t.johnson2966]

How's it going? Which stage are you in?

[@juliafiore120]

Ok, so now I need to move🤷‍♀️😂 I want to trade in my desk for a ranch with baby chickens 🐓. Great video, Daniel. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. Have a Blessed Day 😊

[@juliehesse3471]

One thing I have liked about hatching our own chicks (besides the fun and awe parts) is that it greatly reduced the possibility of new chicks introducing contagious disease to our flock. They start here and are only around our flock

[@vichaven1795]

I've incubated chicks for over30 years and I never stuck their beak in the water! They are very inquisitive and they find the water just like the feed.

[@hermithag]

I always laugh when some KZbinr dips their beaks. God has a mihm?.

[@sandrareed2397]

Egg hatching looks like so much fun and it's such a great teaching tool for kids 😀

[@trudiharmon7640]

What a great teaching video Daniel. Made it look so easy and I’m sure lots who haven’t will now maybe give it a go. Brooks is going to love her new chicks. Thanks for sharing. 💕🙏

[@Sarah-ff2kf]

We’ve never had the chance to incubate eggs but we do have a crazy amount of Black Australorp hens that go broody every year. We’ve been blessed with quite a few chicks this year.

[@we_are_the_wesners]

We once hatched a baby Red Earred Slider Turtle in a plastic lunch meat container under our bathroom sink haha

[@360DieselDS]

You got a subscriber from this one. Good luck with the flies.. I'm in maryland so out weather is crazy changing too. God bless brother. Love the info and experience you're able to share.

[@djor316]

Lots of good information Daniel. My Dad use to raise chicken's to sell. Not alot of money back then but it helped add food to the table either by selling or culling a few for family.

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm

[@leann4925]

Love seeing baby chicks. Intresting how they come from an egg. Really enjoyed this Daniel. Thanks and Love y'all.

[@SherryKLovesYarnCrochet]

We bought the HQF1500 last year, and ended up hatching over 200 chicks, 75 geese and 65 ducks, Thank goodness for those that wanted to buy them or I'd be in trouble LOL!!! I've sold hatching eggs as well. I belong to a group on FB that holds swaps at Tractor Supply and that's where I sell most of my babies. Thank you for this video, I know that there are others that haven't hatched yet and this will help them.

[@jtlearn1]

Great info! God was first, then the roaster and hen, the the fertilized egg. Simple.

[@debrezo58]

We actually just hatched out our very first chicks which began hatching on Father's Day! 20 beautiful lil birds that has supplied endless days of entertainment and education! I think we are hooked. My grandkids were so excited to see a few actually hatch out while they were here!

[@gaylenash1360]

That was a great incubating lesson. Thank you Daniel!

[@kimmonroe4127]

I keep my barn isle open for my horses and donkey to come in to avoid weather or just get out of the sun. But their stalls are not open. They only come in their stalls to eat. Now, if we are having severe weather (like a hurricane-east coast here), then I also leave their stall doors open. I never close them in so if they get spooked they can escape. I do put break-away halters on them and use livestock paint sticks to put my phone number on them. Just the way I do things.

[@danielmedin5068]

This has been the most educational video on a “How To” I have ever seen

[@lisaayres397]

Thanks, Daniel. I am planning on getting a few chickens this year. I sure appreciate all the information you share.

[@jeanatkinson2022]

I do this all the time. I have rare Bantam eggs going now!

[@bethfrench9064]

I really enjoyed your explanation of how the hatching process works! When I was growing up, Daddy’s twin brother owned a hatchery. All I remember is getting to walk among the huge incubators - yep there were eggs in there. I remember watching Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Irene putting drops in the chicks eyes to vaccinate them. And what I really remember is that I should have said NO THANKS! when Uncle Kenneth asked if I wanted to go to the dump with him. You cannot imagine how awful a used school bus smells when it’s full of “used” egg shells. Thanks for the show and tell!

[@rhondabritt972]

I see hatching me some chicks in my future. Have a wonderful night. Love you guys.

[@heatherk8931]

Great video, Daniel. I got the 9 egg Magic Fly (looks exactly like #2, but sadly no humidity gauge), just put 6 in, and 4 hatched, but 2 were not 100% healthy. One died last night😢. But I'll do it again from my own fertil eggs. It's quite miraculous 😊❤

[@karryann54]

Daniel you explained on hatching your own chicken eggs so. Good ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SuperDave-pe1zw]

I just saw you on Final Decent hunting show last night of when you took the kids hunting and you shot a buck with your Elvolve bow. I saw it on your channel before but when Final Decent aired you I was like wow a movie star....lol. Enjoy your videos.

[@marciathompson1237]

My mother and I made one out of a drop light a cardboard box and a blanket. We turned them 4 Times a day by hand she wrinkled them with water. They hat every last one of them 26 Eggs became 26 baby chicks 🐥. I was 4 Years Old. I will never forget the fun I Had.

[@jennifermassie7227]

My brother is a teacher and his classes have loved watching and waiting for the eggs to hatch!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤

[@bobdavis6133]

HE'S DONE IT AGAIN 👍 GREAT JOB!!! GOD BLESS EVERYONE

[@sdbigguy]

Great video… loved the whole process. Brooks is going to love her chicks. I really like the clear dome incubator, much more fun to be able to see/watch. How long can you ‘hold’ eggs before you start incubating them? It makes so much sense but I didn’t really know that the time to hatch is for incubation, not figured from the day the eggs was layer otherwise a chicken would be hatching a new chick everyday from her clutch. Yes, common sense but didn’t even think about that until recently. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamsjohncrazycountry5523]

hugs from pam and john keep it coming on video way to go

[@ireneh3411]

Great information for incubating eggs. Simple process and very informative. 💕From Perth, Australia 🇦🇺

[@joelbeavers6417]

I hatched about 25 babies or so this year for the first time. They were all hatched from the hens laying on the eggs. After they hatched, I brought them in to put on a brooder. It was amazing to see the babies. There are many more eggs. I have not kept up with how long it hey have been in the nest. I want to get an incubator and learn to hatch these so I can keep An eye on them better. The eggs i have l left, I guess I will be able to tell if they are good or bad by candling them.

[@angellocke8473]

Very educational, Thank you for sharing your video with us!

[@lynnp2282]

Daniel….you are just a wealth of knowledge about chicks! Thank you! Lynn in Chandler, AZ 🌵

[@happy.homestead]

Thanks for this video!! I'm getting quail eggs in the next few weeks and have been researching incubators for a couple months.

[@lindafranke8143]

Go on Living Traditions Homestead - they have several videos about hatching & raising quail.

[@happy.homestead]

@@lindafranke8143 Yes, I'm aware, thank-you. They've not done a video on incubators that I'm aware of, so I found this helpful. I enjoy a multitude of homestead channels. :-) Enjoy your day. Thanks again.

[@countrieboyz2009]

I'm looking for an incubator but I really only need to hatch one to two chicks right now, so I'm trying to find a small one with a turner.

[@susanschultz8142]

I can guarantee you I will never incubate chickens (city girl here) but I found this video very interesting and informative. I live in a huge apartment complex so pretty sure the owners would frown on me having chickens. However, growing up my brothers and I belonged to 4-H. While I tended the garden and baked the brothers raised rabbits and chicken.

[@kath5201]

May I reccommend the Bug-a-Salt for those annoying flies? Fun to use. Satisfying results.

[@curtgroen2712]

just wanted to drop you a note, I have been really into a certain line of content to learn as much as I can about the subject and while concentrating on that content, it hit me today. I hadn't seen anything from Daniel in a while. I went looking and I was right! about a months worth! The last content from you I remember seeing a notice for was Houston's pond build!! Some how for some reason, the subscription to Arms Family Homestead had dropped off my list! I re-sucribed and I'm busy power watching your videos to catch up. Just wanted to let you know something hickey may be up.

[@charlotteshannon740]

Thank you so much, I started my hatching journey on the first of this month and your video came just at the right time. Eggs I thought were fertile were not thanks for saving me the rotten eggs.

[@tracyninia1011]

WOW. I have found this video fascinating. If I had somewhere to keep chickens I think I would try it. Thank you for this. And I am so sorry about the lose of Jamie's chicken. Good luck with the new ones.

You guys should go fishing in southeast Missouri almost all public ponds there has 1 to 7 pound bass and catfish are easy you really just need worms and if catfish aren't biting worms catch everything there. I recommend you guys have a trip there the fishing is amazing it will get Huston a new pb

[@evieuretsky9997]

PEOPLE, DEFINITELY DO NOT PULL THAT STUCK EGG OFF. SOAK a very warm washcloth on it and get it rehydrated and very gently remove with tweezers!😮 and keep the chick warm , fluff the down up very, very carefully.

[@lindarose-evans5783]

Great video, Daniel! I would love to have some chickens, but I live in Yukon, and I don’t think we ever passed a city code to allow them. Besides, my HOA probably would not. Drat! It would be nice to have fresh eggs and let them eat the bugs🧐 the grasshoppers are terrible right now and so is the heat🥵104 today🙏❤️

Hey Daniel when u said what came first the chicken or the egg and I was thinking that is the same thing for other species too what came first it has to start somewhere u got me thinking now
