For future broodiness you move the broody hen at night.

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Yeah, we read some different things prior, but night seems to be the consensus. You can't tell in the video, since our camera is very good in low light, but its pretty dark in the shed that she is in. All in all, it ended well and we should have an update very soon.

[@sheilashockley752]

sasquatsh - really Kenny - death wish? lol

[@alfilkemper9240]

The ending was so funny; I agree not cool. 😂 Thd camera man needs to stay mum during filming!

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

HAHAHA... So true

[@cathysteenson9591]

Sasquatch!? Remember, you have to sleep sometime! LOL!

[@chelemichele1524]

Cathy Steenson lol...my thoughts exactly....

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

He got a bad look for that remark if not worse .

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

hahahah!

[@CogHillFarm]

Now I know why the goat barn is getting a bar! 😉

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Shhh!

[@chelemichele1524]

Congrats on your first broody hen.. Wow...only the garage lucky you married a sweet lady. .. ☆have a wonderful tomorrow☆

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

That garage is pretty big!

[@mountainsidefarm8357]

Omg you didn’t.... 😳 ‘like Sasquatch’. Oh Kenny..... About broody hens: you did great for your first time!! Congratulations on your first broody hen.

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Thanks Kim! There are a couple of things we would do differently, but it all ended well. Update soon to come.

[@ynotshowme2ur3times]

Easiest way to move chickens is in pitch black dark. At night is best. And leave them in dark for a good time as possible

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Seems to be the general consensus. Folks have had luck either way. You can tell in the video, because our camera has extremely good low light capabilities but the place where she was is fairly dark. She ended up doing very well in there. Stay tuned for the outcome!!

[@sdelony]

She was much nicer than mine not even a peck we just had four baby bantams do they only lay once a year?

[@1870s]

We have our first bloody momma too. She tried a couple times before but it didn't stick this times the real deal.... Now the wait to see if any hatch

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Yeah, hoping to have the update up this week!

[@kavitaparmanand8571]

You are so brave touching that hen your not afraid she will peck you

[@terrireddish2522]

I'm still learning myself and tried to let our young silkies who had recently started to lay at around 21weeks to 26 weeks old and a month later they started dropping down broody so we tried to let them hatch some runner ducks but after a week they got bored so tried another broody hen and same again, they managed to incubate them right up until due date but then they all stopped being broody,🤦‍♀️ it's my fault for trying to soon but we all live and learn by our mistakes, it's a part of life,I love watching your videos x

[@gregkahle9046]

Good job Courtney! Watch your back Kenny lol

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

hahaha! Thanks.

[@sherrycaldwell2447]

Kenny you could be living in the old goat barn!!!Great job on the hen; she is so used to you that you could reach under her! Good thing Diego isn't a hen! And great video guys.

[@AnnieFarmerFarm]

Jason sent us over the dancing farmer we can sub each other if you'd like thanks so much!

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Awesome!! Glad your here. Things have been crazy busy, but hoping to keep to at least one video a week if not more.

[@leannearchambault2852]

I enjoy watching your videos , Because You , Make the best decisions , At that time & Your positive energy .

[@sherristevenwilliams6033]

Next time move her at night.😊

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

She did great.

[@BigFamilyRescue]

Sweet! In three weeks we get to see the eggs all hatch!!

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Hoping to have some updates out this week or next!

[@konarain]

That was amazing.. My girl is not tame, she gently pecked me in her hypnotic state.. fantastic..Alohoho Aloha

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

She's a sweet girl and sitting on another clutch now!

[@lastniceguy1]

I know nothing about chickens. I don't understand, why not just leave a broody hen alone?

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Could have left it but wanted her and the chicks to be comfortable. Most of the time she had her head in the bucket. We also didn't want a predator to get her. We have been losing a bunch to hawks and a ground predator.

[@suzyhomesteader2454]

I have a saying. Let sleepin babies, dogs and broody hens lay. In other words I don't mess with them. If they're in a safe location I leave them alone.

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Yeah, that's what Kenny said, but I wanted to make things more comfortable for her and the babies. In the end it was best. We should have the update out soon.

[@mste3509]

Thanks for sharing. I'd move my hens at night. I found they prefer an enclosed box with one side open to access. My experience is they feel more secure and less exposed.good luck.

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

She did really well in the brooder actually. We are hoping to post the results very soon!

[@ReubenJohn]

hahaha we're so happy you brought back the sasquatch! I never knew what a broody chicken was, but thanks to this video and a dear friend, Google, now we know! Your place looks awesome to just chill out at with the warmer seasons coming!

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Hahaha... Google... Yeah, its not a bad place to chill. I could do without the humidity and bugs, but other than that... not bad. Our favorite time is when its cool enough for a big fire. We typically burn all summer, roasting marshmallows, grilling hot dogs, drinking some beer! Good stuff all around!

[@ReubenJohn]

Yeah that makes sense. That sounds amazing! Count us in haha

[@adamscoolthings3316]

Would this work with a duck ? Our duck is broody and has a nest outside

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

I've never done it with a duck, but I would imagine if you are moving them to an enclosed space, it most likely would.

[@donniecarter3848]

You are lucky that she went back to the eggs. Just like Diana said it's best to move them at night.

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Yeah, we read different things. You can't tell in the video since our camera is fairly decent in low light, but it is pretty dark where she was. In the end, it all ended well. Update to come!

[@khandi7524]

Lol yoi all are to funny

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Thanks!
