The Momma Hen Shuffle! // Whitt Acres

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- Also, it is so funny how entertained *EchoPup* is when he sees birds in a box. 👀🐣🐔 📦

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

One of his favorites

[@milliehernandez5050]

She's so beautiful and so are her baby chick's 😊

[@emilymcglynn]

Very encouraging to see that even an agent of chaos like Little Rowe can be a great mom, great job Little Rowe!

I Love You! ❤️ Please don't stop making videos 🙏🏽

[@candi4202]

Pants has definitely been the best momma. I hope we see some of her babies pop up somewhere. She is gorgeous

[@annsaenz291]

Awww Lil Rowe adjusted to take care of her babies jusr hearing them peep so much for her. I bet bird shuffling takes a toll on some of the birds to adjust to a new place to live. All the chickens are so beautiful and I do love my sas on Lil Rowe 😂😂 she will be a good Mum to her babies❤🐔🐤

[@gabriellejohnson7324]

Seeing that chick peek out of Roe's feathers...Priceless❤. Sorry about Bert's babymomma squishing their babies. Some mommas are only meant to be the surrogates. Roe's always willing to raise them

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

That's true!

[@darlenealy]

All the babies are sooo cute! ❤🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣. You are such a good homesteader Cody! I just cant wait to see them all running around the pasture

[@brianmoore6306]

You have a such a genle nature with your animals. I love watching your vids.

[@kjbowden449]

The babies are so cute and colorful ❤. Maybe block the top of the little red coop for lil Rowe. As I say that you probably have lol.

[@blessedbeauty2293]

Nice video! That shot with the blonde chick under Lil Rowe is great. Really really good! Thank you. 😊

[@bpxdurangoinc7013]

Lil Rowe! So cool to see her step up and adopt. She is made to be a mom

[@dawnjones2751]

Pants babies have grown so quickly, so cute and lovely colours. Lil Roe, it was all going so well, you may have to block the opening to keep her in. she's a practicing Houdini Green Queen 5 babies, She's such a good mommy! Aww....sad for Berts babies but Lil Roe did adopt one and I think I remember another one at the back of the pen being broody?. thanks for another great videos. we love sharing your day 💕

[@nimadaneshvar9404]

Certainly you have good live stocks ,Cody, specially little row and mumbles and papa.your channel became one of my favourites for sure as a homestead.thanks

I love your channel how you talk to each one

[@gaylesmith1738]

Pants's babies sure have grown! Wow!! Oh, they're so cute!!! That new home is perfect for them! Lil Roe did that change pretty well! Oops! She jumped down! How does she get out?? Now, Green Queen! 5 babies & a bunch of eggs! She's a good mommy! Aww....sad for Burts babies. Didn't he have another broody hen? At least there's one chick with Lil Roe. I really enjoyed this! You do great videos. Thanks! 💕

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Its open up top on Lil Rowes coop, she can get out but the babies can't. The other Snowball must have just been laying an egg not broody.

[@thedevilinfrankenstein6503]

Great videos as always. Your mamas are doing such a great job. Thanks for sharing!❤

[@janeovery]

Have just finished watching your videos from the start I enjoy watching you with your animals. Watching from the UK

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@sfviris5582]

I think you’re so sweet and darling to all the babies-AND because of that I can actually watch your channel even though they’re being raised for meat-but I think the piggies are hot because they’re both laying up against the only fresh-air source (as far as I can tell.) Thank you.

[@cherishthirdeye]

I was wondering why in the short earlier you said Sedgwig had five chicks when I thought she had seven. This answers that question, that's too bad. Also too bad the Snowball has lost most of her chicks too. 😢 But I suppose that when you have that many broody hens and that many chicks get hatched out all at once, there are bound to be some casualties. You were at least able to save a couple that probably would not have survived without your intervention. Lil' Rowe is such a character, there is just something about that red coop, girl is just not having any of it. I'm already expecting the next video to be you having to swap Green Queen and Lil' Rowe places. She didn't seem to mind the tote one bit. She's a very strong willed chicken, it's Lil' Rowe's way or no way at all it seems. I see a lot of bird shuffling in your future. Echo-Pup will be very pleased since he really gets so excited about his birds in a box. I commend you for doing everything you can to make every single Mama comfortable and give them a chance at success. Your love and care for your animals always shines through. Doughboy is getting absolutely massive too, my gosh that is a big pig!

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Thanks so much! There's always more to be done.

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

It has nothing to do with how many hens, just some hens can't raise babies & u don't know until they try. 1st time moms may be better next time, some never do well. I had a cat who could deliver babies & after a day or 2 abandoned them. I bred her same time as an older cat who was great. So not just chickens

[@blessedbeauty2293]

​@rebeccaplumlee9601 - Interesting. Most cats abandon their children && forget who they are once they are weined off milk but I've not *personally* seen a mom abandon her kitten(s) .. that is so sad. Without intervention, they *too* would've passed away. So sad. On my channel shows all 6 of my cats && 2 doggos. 😊❤. What kind do you breed?

[@mostlydollshelicopters4799]

I just found a wild berries bush that the birds planted while I was cutting the hay field 😊

You need a wagon for bird moving 😂😂

[@kyleg5141]

I hope we have better luck with these new turkeys. Good luck with the homestead bud

[@pjaneheil]

Its evident lil Rowe doesn't like change, so far as we watch you move lil Rowe from house to house, she's the one chicken that does not like change, and Rowe has been giving you her thoughts 💭 ❤❤❤

Segway's chick had CHECKERED WINGS!😮

[@JellyBean-rc7sz]

I liked that chick also

[@marlamitchell4348]

Looks like Little Rowe prefers the ranch style home as opposed to the split level!!! Lol🤣 Have you thought about using the incubator for the rest of Burt's babies? Sad about the ones not making it but at least one of Burt's sweet babies were saved ! Little Rowe and Pants are such good Mamas. 😊❤

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

No I can hatch them anytime, she's trying to sit so I'm not going to take them from her

[@lisajetter-qu1md]

Who else in the family help with chores on the homestead or are you flying solo?

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Just me. I get help with projects that need more hands when they come up.

[@purplegirlsue]

Thank Ü so much for letting us see all the babies--especially Pants & her chicks❤. As for Lil' Roe, it's probably the same as you trying to sit in your room all day😅 Would you last a day, much less a couple weeks?! Different pickens for different chickens? 😆

[@gingermoore4561]

I love the names you give them. Where do you come up with them from.

Dear Cody I like your channel a lot and I love all of your animals but one thing I wondered is when are you going to get Dabbles and Mumbles some new goose friends From, DavidthePlotagonguy 2002

Thanks, I have no plans to get more at this time, just got Dabbles

[@sandraouterbridge3236]

I get you have some body aches and pains after a day of all that bending!

[@angelserenade]

Awww .. i'm sorry to hear that we lost 2 of Cedwig's babies and the snowball's last chick 😢 that was unfortunate... I wonder if the eggs Cedwig was sitting on are still viable to hatch? Also, lil' Rowe definitely has hate of that little coop 😂

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

It's unlikely, she left them the first night so they probably went cold.

[@u-got-High]

I love the birds, but please try to complete the pigs' stall, its beautiful outside. 😊

[@rebaland]

Hey Cody, I remember you mentioning previously that you're in West Pennsylvania but I'm clueless about geographical meteorology! Are you guys at risk from Tornadoes where you are?

[@Knnh3x]

Pennsylvania is northeast by New York no tornadoes

[@darryldrax606]

❤️✌️🙏👍

[@fantasyworlds21]

I am not sure why, but lil rowe does not like that mini coop she did this before.

[@loridyson569]

Do you have a piece of the screen you used on the baby crib door that you could staple gun it to the top opening that Roe keeps escaping out of? Just a thought because Roe seems to hate or fear small enclosed places, a little claustrophobic.

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

It's just new to her and she's a free spirit, she'll settle in. I will at some point close that off when I find time.

[@kathyreier9269]

Ugh I didn't think of checking full videos.

[@sandraouterbridge3236]

What would happen if other hens get in with the babies? Do they hurt the babies or steal them?

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Depends on the hen, some are nice, some aren't.

[@sarahlynne3486]

Honest question...is the pond water better for the chickens and ducks then rain water or RO water?

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

I mean if you can do RO water then that'll probably be the cleanest. The pond water contains nutrients and the rain water is fairly clean. It's all better than city water.

[@Daydreambeliever365]

You obviously have not ended this video as there is the "Lil Rowe situation."Cliffhanger. Again.😊 Maybe Lil Rowe feels claustrophobic in the mini coop. Is Snowball OK in that box? Does it get hot in there? She's pretty isolated.

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

The cliffhanger is real life though, sometimes you have to wait to see how animals react, I did, Snowball has what she needs and it's actually not hot in there because the roof is reflective. And with enough space a broody hen typically will separate herself going off into high grass or wooded areas when brooding. They're trying their best and I'm just trying to help.

[@normaled462]

Love these hen shuffling videos, I have given up getting a count of the total number of chicks hatched and still alive. I am just going to enjoy them as I see them. You create awesome content, thanks for bringing us along.

[@Funlovinlady-]

Lil Roe is a good momma! Not so much Snowball…

[@PhoenyxNightbyrd]

Snowball just doesn't quite get it. It's almost like she's thinking, "ok, so I let the first chick run around. The human took it away, so that must not have been right. Now I keep them tucked under me nice and snug. But they stop moving at all, and the human takes them away again! What am I doing wrong?"
