I successfully trap the hen, taming wild chickens. Primitive Skills (ep183)

[@PrimitiveSkillsnet]

Hi everybody! In the previous video there were a lot of comments recommending me to roof the house with clay bricks. Currently I have collected almost all wooden planks. What should I do? Should I roof my house with wooden planks anymore?

[@ellisdamayanti4705]

I think clay bricks are better

[@kyleloader3676]

If you are already mostly set up for wood please continue then when/if the wood is no good anymore you can do clay. this will be a good example of the durability of diffrent roofs.

[@emmapeel5950]

Buddy there’s nothing you do that surprises me anymore. You seem to be a master of everything lol. You have a great life that you worked hard for so be proud. Love your content so keep it up. Great job.

[@cursedxistence]

For the chickens: you want to give them a good run area that's well protected, something like a 6ft x 6ft area. Since you don't have access to netting, you could weave a bamboo cover for the top, it just needs to be tight enough to stop predators from getting in and them getting out. Then you need a well covered chicken coop with a closable door to house them at night / bad weather. If you put down cut grasses, etc. on the bottom of the chicken coop it'll make it easier to clean it out and you can add the old grass and chicken poop to a composting bin.

[@szeddezs]

Great rundown! It would be crazy if he could make all that as a mobile coop and fence that he can move across his farmland, fertilize the fields in rotation.

[@cursedxistence]

@@szeddezs actually he could build a raised chicken coop and just use two logs as skids so it could be moved and then the fencing could either be done in sections or just have a few posts that actually go into the ground. That would make it easier to move.

[@dickhugh970]

@@cursedxistence that's the best idea, since he's got rats as a predator the raised coop is best, I've got about 30 birds, ducks & chickens, I have to deal with North American predators, but rats/mice will be attracted to chicks, not so much pullets and full grown birds. Also avoiding excess grain/feed on the ground will help. Don't let the chickens in your garden, they will eat your food or dig up plants. Get ducks for gardens.

I have raised chickens before. Just being around them, feed them and talk to them , they will common down and be tame. Chickens will be great to have around. Eat a lot of bugs too! Make sure they have shelter and a place they feel safe. They will return every night to roost.

[@allenheart582]

@Brian Waas Chickens I have known will fly over ordinary fences and roost in trees. Chicken fences need an enclosure over the cage.

[@allenheart582]

@Brian Waas Clipping their wings also limits their use of flight to remain safe from predators.

[@RodneyCarpenter]

Yes...spend time with them. We had about 60 layers and managed to get our hands on an old, non road worthy semi trailer. We cut a hole in the side, and converted it to a chicken coop. (Eventually put rabbits in there too!). Built a ramp to go up to the hole (which we covered with a doggie door) and eventually the chickens figured out that when it was dusk...it was time to go in. They'd go marching up that ramp one-by-one every single night. No wrangling required. There was a bit of ruckus if we didn't get out there and open that doggie door first thing in the morning, however! :)

[@Feyreisa]

So happy for the mother hen and chicks to be reunited! Domesticating the mother will take more time because she was wild, the chicks already look more used to you. It will be easier with them. Build them a safe fenced in area (with a top to be safe from predators) with a nice hen house for nesting and getting out of the weather. Food is your friend when taming. Like banging the gong for feeding the fish, make a sound to call to the chickens when you feed them, so they become familiar with you. You’re doing great, I love your Chanel and videos, thank you for taking us all on this journey with you! Wish you well!

[@inthenightandy4616]

[@florians5793]

About chicken taming: I've been through this the last half year as well, got new chickens at my home, feed them regularly, 6-8 hands of grain/insects a day for your amount, give them shelter and enough room to live, after 3 months they should be used to it and stay at your place.

[@ltorres.h]

In the very near future, you would be excited to have needles and thread, hammer and nails, even a measuring tape or handsaw , shovel or knife. 30 years ago I was teaching my students gardening and eating wild, edible plants, making maple syrup, camping and snowshoeing, wintercamping. Unless you learned that from natural-living parents, you might consider preparing yourself to live free of ATMs, cellphones, video games and TV because the technology we are so dependent on will all have to be re-invented as well as the rest of our civilization. What is already unfolding is a recurring micronova of our sun, that's why it's so white at noon. Only happens every 12,000 years. Last time that happened was about 12,000 years ago. I hope our amazing teacher of primitive skills can safely leave the jungles of Southeast Asia because the that will be the new Arctic Circle. Even herds of elephants are migrating to safety of higher ground to avoid the massive floods, and the new Ice Age, and much more. The Apocalypse is for real but most of those who are prepared could survive. It was a surprise for me, too. I wrote Quantum Dreaming--A Train Is on the Track to help get people ready for what is already starting to show up. The elephants seem to know what's coming.

[@Brabbit1974]

Big tip: cook the corn over the coals with the leaves still on, it will steam the corn inside, it the easiest and best way to cook corn. Great job on the garden, corn grown by hand is the best! I grow my own too. Very satisfactory. Also great job on the mother hen and chicks, they look very healthy, so cute!

[@KatherineUribe-1]

That's how we do it! There's a guy who sells corn on the cob and that's how he cooks it. Much better than boiling! (Most people don't understand that it only takes 3 minutes to cook corn on the cob that way.) I lived in Nebraska for awhile. There's nothing like picking your own sweet corn and cooking it right there. Yummy!😸👍🌽🌽🌽

[@gregmuon]

The problem with that method is you can't pick out that big green worm hanging out inside before roasting... People of a certain age will remember when this was very common.

I knew you could do it! Good job on catching the mother. I really loved how you showed the process on how to make rope from hemp and the skill you showed in separating the bamboo into smaller and smaller strands was really masterful and cool to watch. As for the cage for the Hen and chicks, my advice would be to create a woven enclosure that's big enough for you to stand and walk around in so it can be easily cleaned and have a second but smaller "building" (hen house) only needs to be 4x4 feet wide and 4-5 feet tall as you'll want to be able to get into it to clean it. This creates a safe area for the hen and chicks to be safe at night and a place for you to feed if you don't want to monitor them during the taming process, as you may be busy .

[@zaxariasstoupas2439]

These weeks or month that you will keep them in the house you have to give them fresh water and feed them daily morning and evening you can give fresh greens and old fruit you may can give them flour as you give to the fish from roots and fresh greens and you get a lot of eggs later. eggs are full in energy and give you too much food.

[@cindymosier5625]

Great job catching hen. In your coop you will need a roost as chickens like to sleep off the ground. Some nesting boxes would be good too. Mother hen can have a place to lay eggs as well as the future grown hens from chicks. Of course a feeding and water trough will be needed. Hens will start to lay eggs in about 20 weeks. Good luck with your chickens. They are rewarding with eggs and meat. Be blessed with good health and peace. 😊🇺🇸

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I'm so glad you caught the mother hen! The chicks would have been ok without her but I'm sure they're very happy to see her! She will protect them, teach them how to be proper chickens. I think with care and patience you will be successful domesticating them. Slowly, with lots of love: that's the way.

Chickens are a tough one to tame. It usually takes a couple generations. I eventually got mine to come to me when I got home. They knew my car. Feed them at the same times every day. The quickest way to tame your chicks is to get them to associate you and your hands with food.

[@WaitWhat99]

Please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 give the chickens water. Haven’t seen them drink friend. EXCELLENT EPISODE!!! Love it

[@moplum]

For me, I have found calmly, quietly talking to animals helps domesticate them. Make them feel safe around you, no sudden or loud movements. Chickens will come home to roost in the same place every night. Once they are used to you, and found a safe place with food and water. They will stick around close. If you have predators you may want to make a secured roost for night time. During the day you will have them all over your place, around you easy to protect. Personally I would not cage them during the day after they are used to you. Good lick, I hope you have good success.

[@АнтонДуткин]

Клетка просто супер!!) и ТЫ тоже СУПЕР!!! Очень нравится смотреть тебя!!!))

Ваше видео как релакс. Какое терпение надо иметь чтоб так долго ловить маманю.

[@martinbowers6852]

I have found that chickens thrive best either loose or in a movable enclosure. I don’t think letting them run loose is ideal in your situation so I would recommend a small coop you can move by hand that gives them a place to roost that is up off the ground and covered to give them shelter from rain. This would be paired with some type of fence to keep predators out and keep the chickens in the spot you want them. The cage you were keeping the chicks in would be sufficient with a few modifications. Put a floor in it so it forms a complete basket and maybe poke some sticks through about 3-4” from the bottom for them to roost on. As for your fence you could weave rectangular bamboo panels that you tie together with string each time you move them and if it is high enough, 3-4 feet or so, you don’t have to cover the whole thing but if you have lots of hawks or owls then I might do it anyway. After you have the requisite materials for your pen you set it up wherever you want them and move them every few days. The more often you move them the smaller the enclosure can be. And as for locations might I recommend non productive areas of your garden so they can eat the pests and fertilize the soil a bit.

Great job on catching the hen. I own and raised chicks from eggs and have roosters, hens, and chicks as of right now. You’re doing great they will eventually get to know you and won’t be scared of you. You will be able to let them roam around freely as long as you keep them fed and happy and have a place for them to roost at night, chickens love chicken coops bc they feel safe away from predators at night that should be your next project for the chickens. Love what you’re doing very educational!

Native Americans planted beans and squash with their corn. They called them "The Three Sisters". The effort to farm needed simple fixes as the Indians learned to farm. This method makes the cleared land more efficient and maximizes the lands use. What country this video is being filmed in? I saw yams and peanuts are wild in that area so I am assuming it is in the southern hemisphere. The Three Sisters can be substituted if the additional plants enjoy the company and need the same water/light/food. Here is how the Indians did it... Sow the seed eight inches apart in a 3-foot diameter circle on top of the bed. Once the cornstalks are 6 to 8 inches tall, plant the bean and squash seeds. The bean seeds go inside the circle of corn, with one seed planted about 3 inches from each cornstalk. I love this series and hope the very best for this man and those doing the filming. You know, some of these types of videos it is obvious and understandable that the work is being done by many people, not just the single person. I get the feeling that for the most part, this very smart and capable man is actually doing it all! For those who give their best everyday, I wish their lives to be exactly how they dream.

[@KnowArt]

Taming wild chickens might be very different than domesticated ones. But in my experience with domesticated chickens it's as easy as having a nice enclosure, feeding them and spending them with them. Eventually they will stay around the house even if you release them because they know you feed them. Making them cuddly, so you can pick them up and such, is a bit harder. You'd have to spend a lot of time with them, every day. And let them get used to being touched.

[@DarthFetid]

feeding the mother and chicks together will ensure them to bond to you and see you as a non threat, and the food source. also the corn waste is good for your feathered family, oh and chickens will eat the dead fish too. they need protein too. also you have the wooden planks use them perhaps for the out buildings if the main house is to get clay tile for the roofing. wish you all the best and thank you for adding in the communications in your videos. thank you stay safe.
