Talk About a Big Surprise! They Just Pulled One Over On Me.

[@oceanbreezes1]

That was much more entertaining than an episode of Maury “you are not the father” 😂 Brooke you are a great storyteller, i thoroughly enjoyed the video

[@Peaceful-Dez]

I think I would gather up 6 more of the eggs once the 14 days are over and hatch them out as well to enlarge Loki's brew. But that is sweet about the grandpa wanting some of them chickens and you doing that for the wonderful lady who gave you those flowers for the fence front. Have a wonderful weekend Y'all. ~peace

[@SUZYRIDE]

Oh me!! Brooke 🧐 You had me laughing at your situation! And I did learn … a lot!! ❤ You’re the best!!

[@JennyD915]

All those babies 😂 too funny! You had an amazing hatch rate on them though!!! 😂😂

[@lindakelly6444]

Love this video Brooke! Mary Carl had absolutely no problem catching those chicks! What a happy place you have created for all the animals! God bless this sweet family!🙏❤🐣

[@johntatum1951]

MC is very good at handling chicks and birds...she is an amazing young lady and a skilled artist.

[@annmcdaniel9448]

What a great, entertaining storyteller you are. You took us on a trip today from neighbor wanting chicks to MaryCarl's skills, to actually fulfilling grampa's desire. I bet he's happy to get them!

[@charschmidt110]

Great story about ur chickens i loved it. Thanks❤

[@johntatum1951]

Yes, good story telling skills with the use of suspense, Brooke!

[@lisalemaster9383]

Brooke, it is best to let the foliage die back on it's own as that is what gives the nutrients back to the bulb for next year's growth. I would strongly recommend in this first year to just leave everything then mow the weeds. You'll know when you can use your highest setting on the mower. That's a good idea ❤

[@dorasaavedra1422]

Plus add blood and bone meal to the bulbs. That will thicken up the leafy foliage.

[@Jaynes-Path]

Come fall, after the flowers have died back on their own, remove the weeds and mulch heavily. The bulbs will push through the mulch and you'll be able to mow around them every year after if you keep replacing the mulch. If you cut them all now, especially after just being transplanted, the bulbs will die. My husband killed some of mine that way.

[@sharonjosefik766]

I always cut mine and I have beautiful flowers every year. I think that's each one's opinions. We have them growing along the road and our township cuts them down when they cut the weeds. And they have spread and bloom everywhere. Again everyone thinks different not telling anyone what to do I'm just sharing.

[@CindyGarberIverson]

I noticed in some of your shots that some of your daffodil foliage is starting to turn yellow, which is a sign that they are coming to the end of when they are providing nutrients to the bulbs underground. Just be patient. You won’t have to wait all summer to mow. Just hold off a little longer. All the daffodil foliage will turn a bright yellow in a few more weeks and then they’ll shrivel and it’ll be safe for you to mow.

[@kathymcleod1460]

@@sharonjosefik766 These were just planted and as you can see the rain knocked some out of the ground because they haven't even rooted yet. If they had been planted in the fall I would say sure cut them but not now, not this year. Once they get some roots established they will be as tough as nails.

[@palucas]

All the new chicks are so adorable! I thought you were going to say none of the chicks were Sebrights. I'm happy you got six of them! It's so nice to see you and your neighbors spreading the kindness. ❤

[@wildpuffalumps]

🤣🤣🤣 Loki’s girls were stepping out on him😂. Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

@ My Cancer Journey I hope you will get better soon, sending all my good wishes to you from us in Sweden!

😂

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

WHAAAAAAT??? Up to 14 days they can fertilize their eggs from another rooster? MIND BLOWN 💣💥🦃🦃🦃I have never heard of that in my life! Amazing! Great little secret Brooke, can't wait to see them get bigger so you can bless that woman's paw paw. You are so kind. I love to reciprocate. Happy April Fools Day.

[@sharrondinnis1335]

Yup covered in snow, but it is Alaska😁after all😉. I love your heart Miss Brooke, your one good woman with a beautiful heart to match the beautiful woman that you are🥰. By the way your wearing my favorite coverall’s 😉, their so cute on you😀. Love and prayers🙏🏻from Alaska🫶🏻♥️🥰

[@vickibwarren9722]

Yes I definitely did learn something on this video, the same thing you...😊 Regardless of what species they are all little baby chicks are so adorable!

[@venidamcdaniel1913]

Loki is some beautiful.

[@jennieadamsMM]

You’re a gem, Brooke 💎I swear you’re an animal whisperer especially since seeing you with the pups. Amazing fact to learn about chickens 🤗Hugs, 💕Love, and 🦋 Butterfly Blessings sent your way always. 🤗💕🦋

[@lee8300]

Brooke, you are such a good story teller. Your hatch rate was awesome. The red neck baby chicks are so cute. I learned a lot from your video.

[@sharononeill449]

You are so sweet passing on the blessing your the best 🐐🐓🐷🦚🐝🦆🐥🐈‍⬛🌻🐄❤️🐮

[@vickiwallace9694]

Brooke, I LOVE this video - for soooo many reasons. I love that Mary Karl surprised you by catching the chickens AND putting them right where you wanted them without the 2 of you even talking about it. She IS The Bird Whisperer. And hearing you announce that Lokie was NOT the daddy had me hearing Maury Povich saying "You are NOT the father!" in my head. 😂😂😂 I also love how the daffodil lady and you are 'exchanging blessings' - flowers for chicks. Isthis going to be a surprise for her Grand Dad? If so, I REALLY hope that there will be some video shared when he gets them. Thank you for making and sharing your videos with us Brooke!! You brighten my day. 💜🐾🐾💜

[@rileymorgan9084]

I have always been told. It's the leaves that they get there energy. I would say. Step back and let them die back. Then cut.

[@em286]

When I saw all those little naked necks I burst out laughing. Loki! You are NOT the father! Lol 😁💕

[@galady8632]

I always learn so much from this channel and the main channel. Of course MaryCarl remains the resident bird whisperer. Brooke's kind, caring heart is without limits. There's much to be learned from her way of thinking, her mindset and her gentleness. Her inner beauty is amazing - as is her outer beauty. As my late Daddy often said 'she's the whole package!'. I do not know (nor am I asking), how much weight Brooke has lost but obviously she has amazing self-discipline. Looking quite svelte Lady Brooke!

[@judyklein3221]

The silkies are gorgeous! Oh my goodness the new babies are awesome!! Even if they aren't all Lokie's the hatch rate is terrific. You are going to make an old man so happy! It's so kind of you Brooke to give back. You're a lovely person.💕🕊💕

[@jaelle-catherinemercier8362]

Oh my Brooke, 7 chickens from the wrong Dad 😂❤ They are beautiful though😊

[@katiehathaway743]

Poor Loki, he has unfaithful hens !😂😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@msdove61]

Passing on the Blessing is wonderful. They are all so darn cute.

[@dotnorton6569]

Brook I love the coveralls! You are so kind to hatch some chicks for a neighbor, God bless you.

[@sheilataylor9579]

That’s so funny. Your generosity ended up rewarding you with 7 new feathered babies. This makes me think of Lester’s Longhorn, Santiana , that gave birth, and the father wasn’t Tex! It ended up being Billy, PawPaw’s (Lester’s dad) bull. Somehow through a barbed wire fence…. 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@lindahinds8388]

I wasn't surprised that MaryCarl was able to catch the hens and Lokie for you. After all she is the bird expert. Itt seems like each and every episode I learn something new from you all. I'm grateful for this, I love learning and being just shy of 67 years young, Im always happy to learn new things.

[@LoriM222]

Wow, that's crazy about the 2 week holding time for a hen to produce another roosters offspring!!! You learn something every day! I think it's wonderful that you'll be giving the daffodil lady some chicks!! I always say, "Pay it forward" because it's a better world when we do this!! Blessings, Brooke 💜

[@ceceliabarker2763]

What a delightful way to learn about chicken reproduction. Thank you Brooke.

[@AngelBluff]

I definitely learned something. I would of thought after a couple of days all the babies would of been full-blooded. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE your channel! You are a great story teller. Would watch everyday!

[@oceanhome039]

Like the old adage, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch”? LOL🇨🇦

[@aleencollins3880]

Brooke you are One of a KIND!!with all you do on the farm and still take the time to do something like that for someone.........your just AMAZING!love you all and the animals..GOD Bless you all

[@patriciapetrone864]

That is such a funny story!! At least you got 6 chicks you were hoping for! They all are adorable. And just think, whenever the daffodils bloom you will think of the chicken story!! Good thing you didn’t have more roosters. 😂. 😊💕

[@carolmurphy9931]

It will be close to the end of May before they turn brown.

[@sissy8563]

When I seen those chicks 😅😅 in my best Maury voice.... You Are NOT the father lol 😂😂😂 but they sure are cute 😊😊

[@chocaholicsanon]

if you cut them too early, the bulbs go blind, meaning they only have leaves rather than daffs.

[@brittawrolson5936]

Great job hatching all 13 eggs. A good learning curve that the daddy fertilization can remain for 2+weeks! Always something new🤗👍🏻

[@sallyrenard9539]

I did learn alot today ! You are a great story teller Brooke ! That is so kind of you to hatch out the little Seabrights for that lady !! Wonderful to hear with all the garbage in the world. Your pups are soooooooo beautiful ! can't wait to hear what the DNA tests show !! Love all your videos !

[@ansleykinnamon4380]

Please Mrs Brooke, wear a hat every single time you are outside. I was a red head in my youth as was my brother. Both with freckles. We are now both 62, me, and 58, brother. We never step a foot outside without a hat and sleeves on our arms. I live right across the AL/GA border from you. We are in Americus GA. Just protect your skin.

[@rickriley7018]

Miss Brooke, as a long time gardener, I have read frequently that when foliage on the daffodil starts to yellow it is safe to cut them and not adversely affect next years bloom Rick

[@southsidecarly7427]

Really enjoyed the video Brooke. So interesting how the hens can do that. Those Seabrights are a beautiful breed of chickens.I’m sure that ladies papa is going to be thrilled!Your animals are all so beautiful ❤️I just love your channel, it’s my favorite🥰.y’all have a great day

[@leannekenyoung]

WOW!! That was really interesting Brooke! Playing whose your daddy with baby chicks?! I had never heard that a hen could hold the males fertility for so long after the fact !! Looking forward to watching them grow and I think it’s extra special of you to offer that woman some chicks. This is the way the world is supposed to be ….what comes around goes around. Blessing to all! Looking forward to the next video!!!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻😳

[@stephenullman4534]

Hahaha, who's your daddy!!! Priceless! Well done!😂

[@paulettetidwell1097]

I really enjoyed your episode with the lacy looking chickens. In fact I have come to enjoy all the different episodes about your farm life in general. MaryCarl is such a lovely young lady-and so smart.

[@shirleygrant8538]

Beautiful little chicks!

[@sheilaoneil6928]

I enjoyed seeing Mary Carl , she. Is growing up so fast,and she was always very pretty,but now Mary Carl your becoming too be a real beautiful girl, and so confident. ❤❤ Thank you for showing me your Pigeon❤❤❤❤

[@AmeliaInMonTana]

Thankfully you had 💯 % hatch rate with the trickery those ladies pulled on you. They are so sweet!❤

[@lanak.fromnewmexico1143]

Oopsie! LoL. Loki buddy you did good for the little time you were with the girls! 😂😂. That's so nice of you Brooke to repay the favor to the nice lady who let you have all those daffodils! Her Pawpaw will be so happy I'm sure! 🤗🤗🙏🙏. Love y'all and God bless.😊

[@stephenullman4534]

I just can't tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your channel Brooke. I had no idea that a hen carried for that long either. But we live and learn. The boys are looking really good and playful. I love how nonchalant MaryCarl is handling the chick's. I actually wish you had more videos but I also understand that you have a life so I'm content with the one you do have. The farm is looking magnificent. God bless!

[@pamelacrowell2007]

How funny! But those 7 chicks are still pretty dang cute!!! Keep hatching!!! 🤣🤣😍😍😍😍

[@northernflicker6590]

Love me some Cog Hill Farm science experiments. We all learn a little bit of life’s lessons together whether it’s animal , mineral , or human nature. Thanks Brooke

[@robinsnyder3881]

Daffodils need their leaves to collect sunshine to energize the bulbs to grow and multiply.

[@janetanderson8719]

That’s really funny! I know you were shocked when you saw them little necked necks! Lol they are all so cute! The silkies are precious too. And omg the boys are growing leaps and bounds!

[@carolmurphy9931]

Yes it was very informative. They are really cute.

[@debrezo58]

I learn something new every day and this was definitely a good one to know! Maybe some of the new baby naked necks can be sold or gifted if you do not want that many. But it is cool to see so many new baby chicks around!💖🐥💖

[@diannemalone6709]

Brooke, maybe you could use a weed eater on the fence row until the flower part dies down, but might be too much trouble. This video is so interesting. Blessings.

[@evelynholmes7105]

I've been reading comment, and i agree with everyone 😊 your the sweetest, A true sweetheart, and such a blessing to watch thank you so much for sharing your world with us 💐💐🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜

[@bethkeller1602]

Great video!!! You know even if the Victoria crowns dont lay an egg it was still awesome to see the process of the nest building. Others like myself have never seen anything like that so it was awesome to experience it. Thanks Brooke

[@PatricesProjects]

I had learned that fact about chickens somewhere prior. I hope that all the rest truly are full seabrights. It great to see Rocky so energetic. The boys sure are cute.

[@lr6844]

Oh wow, such a fun video to watch today! So exciting about the new little ones hatching and 100% of them hatching. I've noticed pretty much whatever you touch succeeds though. It must be the love. Pretty cool. It is going to be fun to see what those seven little ones look like when they grow up. You may have started a whole new breed of chicken! As far as the daffodils or any bulb, hate to say this but you really need to not mow the green leaves down; this is how the bulb receives the needed chlorophyll to be stored in the bulb for next year's flowers. They will fill in eventually and choke out the weeds but it might be another couple of years before it happens. In the meantime, for the next few months, until they die down, ignore, if you can. Don't forget to give them a good dose of bulb feeder for your bulbs to double and triple next year. I bet they were pretty.

[@kathleenfrommichigan2550]

Love the info on who was the father of some of the chicks. Dogs and cats also can have different dads ( more than 1 but up to 3 ) when the mom delivers. Nice of you to help your neighbor. 6 is better than none. Take Care

[@lindaschumacher6282]

Puppies are looking so adorable 🥰

[@kkeenan536]

😂That was hilarious seeing all those baby naked necks 😆 As far as the daffodils, the best fix would be to hand weed that strip & maybe even make it a little wider & then heavily mulch between flowers.

[@carolebyrd588]

The reason you leave them to die back is because the bulbs feed off the green foliage. I have hundreds of all different kinds of daffodils and waiting for them to die back drives me crazy but I wait.

[@patricialutzenhiser3913]

I had Daffodils for years and you can assuredly cut them back now. When they bloom for the first time then you would need to let them die back from their blooms of course. They are so hardy. Lol. Enjoy your channel as much as Cog Hill Farm. You are so kind and loving in all you do. I miss having my chickens as I now live in an apartment at 76. I have had 100 Buff Orphingtons when I had my 186 acre ranch in Montana. Thanks for filling my need for gardening and chickens of which was my past life. Blessings to you all🥰

[@donaleeslack4925]

Hi Brooke 😊 maybe to keep the weeds down but to allow the daffodils to continue their sunlight food gathering, place pieces of cardboard down on weeds, and allow the daffodil leaves to flop over on the cardboard pieces 😊❤

[@linw7320]

Spray cardboard with water as you place it over the weeds then cover cardboard with compost. Might you wipe out need for mowing fence line at all?

[@jenniferadams1537]

MaryCarl, you are just the best daughter ever for taking charge and helping your Momma!! ❤️🌼❤️ And Brooke, you did a beautiful thing by helping your neighbors in kind for the amazing flowers 👍🙏🐝. You Ladies made my whole day. Thank you so much for easing my heart in this crazy world 👍🙏🎶

[@jeanburgin160]

Yes, you need to let these grow they will be making flowers back for next spring. You will need to weed eat next to the fence. lol lol love his story of MC getting the Seabrights ... lol At least you got some Seabrghts out of the clutch of eggs. Nice of you to do this for the lady. You may want to now incubate more seabrights... All the best.

[@debbiecozortakalonghornmom1862]

[@terrydonegan470]

I have daffodils, and I was told years ago don't cut back until they turn brown the greens are feeding the bulb for next year. I know I, too, was so tempted to weed eat them also the bulbs should be about 4 inches deep

[@meeofcourse4152]

Ever so educational.... Thanks Brooke! Wow.... Mary Carl just steps up to the plate to get chores done... Blessed her heart❤️

[@cindym7234]

Yes! I found that very interesting! When you started explaining about what you were going to do, I wondered about who the true father would be. Somewhere in my memory bank I feel like I have heard that about some species retaining the fertilization from the males. I'm looking forward to seeing these babies get bigger! Thanks Brooke. Love from Texas ❤

[@tthomestead2763]

I mow mine as soon as the flowers are gone and it doesn't hurt them at all. 😊

[@wendymitchell4765]

The bulbs need some time for the foliage to nourish the bulbs. Wait a bit longer then chop them back.

[@pamelariley8983]

Brooke... We cut our daffodils back as soon as the flower dies.... it would take all spring and half of summer to wait for the stems to die back.. We never have a problem and the Daffs multiply each year...

[@EllieChristine744]

Ha ha, nature can sure surprise us. Thank you for the educational video, always a treat to watch your videos. Hugs from us in Sweden!

[@RozaneBeyMcCurdy]

Woah! This was like a Jerry Springer episode of chickens! "Loki, you are NOT the father!" They couldn't have been hatched in a better place!

[@cynthiapowell5560]

Brooke, I love watching your channels. I’ve learned something every time I watch. It’s so exciting to watch the new life and how fast they grow. Have a wonderful rest of the day and I will see you all soon.❤

[@kathybell7407]

Always the best information and a very funny story😂!!!!

[@asilva4138]

Great video! I'm thinking about the daffodils, I would probably mow as close as I could, but let them die back. I would be afraid that I wouldn't get the bulbs back next year. And if you have a big mess of weeds, you could weed eat along the fence. You did so much work transplanting and placing them it would be sad to lose them. Just my thoughts ❤

[@johnwright4641]

the bulbs would be there and leaf but will not bloom

[@marypritchett115]

Fantastic story, Brooke. Remember…no good deed goes unpunished. Naked Neck blessings to you! 😂

Brooke, you are amazing and I just love your videos!! Yes, I learned so much and loved it. Thank you 😍

[@suzymcclung9545]

I use the weed eater between them. It looks a little pitiful until the daffodil leaves turn brown. Then you can mow them. And I don't blame her for wanting those chickens. They are beautiful. What an amazing daughter you have raised! I hate to say this, but I couldn't help but laugh at the chicks that hatched. Honestly it sounds exactly like what I would have done.....Oh my....sounds like you gotta gather and hatch some more!!! hahahahah

Brooke, you’re the best!!! ❤It’s very kind of you to hatch the eggs for the ‘daffodil lady.’ I’m shocked to learn that you can wind up with two different types of chicken in your situation. lol I learn so much from your channel and wish that I could watch it every day. I wonder if the Victoria Crowned Pigeons will definitely produce an egg this year? My fingers are crossed for you. Thank you, as always, for the knowledge and smiles. Love to you and everyone at Cog Hill 40. 🥰🥰🥰

[@debsylvania]

Redneck cannot deny that he was visiting the Sylvies on the sly! All of those babies are cute as can be.

Can't wait to see that adorable chicken coop of yours with its new occupants.

[@QuiltingAuntie]

Learned a lot. I was never around a farm growing up, so I learned something from you, Jason, and esp. Marycarl. Keep all the posts coming.

[@agrammie5668]

I never did either, I just love watching and learning from them all❤❤❤❤❤

[@joangleason8362]

I did not know that either about the chicken holding eggs interesting 😮😊

[@candi_7]

I think the VCP's need some softer material to line the nest bowl. The birds build their nests in stages. 1st is the outter "frame" stage. Then they fill it in with some smaller sticks & things(like making the walls). Then they need to "bed" it, using softer materials(leaves, grass, hair, feathers, paper, etc.). & by "hair", I mean bigger clumps of hair. They need the softer material because that's what the egg(s) will lay on. It will help protect/cushion the eggs plus it will help insulate the eggs to keep them warm. Some birds won't lay eggs if they aren't 100% happy with how the nest is. Or until they feel its finished to their specifications. If they're missing the softer bedding materials or it isn't right to them, they won't lay their eggs or won't lay them in the nest/nest bowl. I'm not positive about VCP's but I've studied bigger birds & their nests for over 15 years now. & most bigger birds like eagles, hawks, etc., this is what they do. I'm not sure how the VCP's do it, but it seems pretty similar. Lol! When you showed the picture of the Seabright's egg up close, on my screen it almost looked like a "golden" egg.

Hi

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

I would leave the flowers alone. Since they were moved they need the extra energy for next year. They may come up in the fall also.
