If feel so sorry for that poor chick! You can see in previous videos that she goes for the death grip, so she is clearly still too young to be handling them. I understand that she wants to be involved, but your boys have always been naturally more gentle and the safety of the chicks is the most important thing. Hopefully once she is a bit older, she can learn to handle them correctly.

[@makaylaallen9799]

She will get better some act different towards animals. My girls are wonderful with the animals but my son not so much.. but he has been learning that being gentle is a good thing! ❤ time will tell and she will soon know that gentle is good!

I remember the exact moment I learned about how fragile life is. It was a moment much like this. I'm now 52 yrs old and I was only 5 ( if I was that old) my point is, she will learn. She loves those chicks and wants to be involved. It's a process.

It honestly sickened me to watch that and made me feel so bad for that baby. My 9 year old handles them after asking first and I supervise, and my 3 year old pets their head gently while I hold them. I hope this won't be an ongoing thing for this channel or I can't continue to watch it.

I have encountered many death grips in the past with children around, thankfully this one survived. This happens a lot, but you have to take care and teach the children how to take care by caring them. I loved how you are nurturing them and slowly teaching them how to care. As far as hatching is concerned, I have been hatching chicken eggs (Australorp, Bantam, Polish, Silkie, Aseel and Desi) for 3years. the problem with some common incubators is that you can't see the hatching process I want to share that amazing process with my children. I would love to hatch Wyandotte, Ko Shamo and Sebright this year, with this incubator it would double the joy. Keep up the great work.

[@candicerunyon2762]

So glad the little chick revived. . whew! Close one and a good reminder to watch her like a hawk when you let her handle the chickens till she learns. Too bad the remaining eggs did not finish out. Perhaps your wonderful kind benefactor Jeremiah, will sell you a few more eggs. Very good video, excited to see them as adults!

Well since you asked what to do with bella, ill throw in my 50c. I used to work in child care and we where always told to say what you want, not what you don't want. You were telling Bella 'don't squeeze, don't squeeze' only at the very end did bec say 'we need to teach her to have loose hands' This is a tough one because most people say 'don't do ..' automatically, myself included. While Bella is learning, continue to reinforce and demonstrate using 'loose hands' and she'll work it out. You guys are doing a good job ❤❤

[@christieheyblom]

This is so true. Something I’ve also been trying to work on and it is really challenging to adjust the habit but definitely possible. Thanks for sharing

[@JP-uf9sh]

Your comment is very encouraging and normally I'd agree but at that point "death grip" was already in full mode. It's a weird reflex that kids can't quite control jet especially under strong emotions so I don't think in that particular situation anything could have been changed by switching to positive reinforcement. He was very brave to show this and not cut it out and I commend him for that because these mistakes genuinely happen but then again he admitted he should have known better. Having small kids around animals is always a risk there is no exception to it either the kid is in danger or the animal. I do understand the desire to share this with his youngest child but then again how to supervise on his own responsibly? Hoping for the best is how these kind of things happen. I'm really relieved he stayed on top of it for both the kid and the chick. Parenting is not without faults and I give him a lot of credit for being real about this situation.

[@Darkshizumaru]

It is what it is, this advice is very helpful. No one did anything wrong. Sometimes kids will react differently just based on excitement or who's there so maybe o e day she just handles everything more gently and the next she'll just not gauge it right. When I was her age we used to be playing with kittens no problem but one summer, a baby me just figured the kiddy pool was fun, kittens surely would have fun... I was tense seeing things go 0 to 100, but ya know, I always think about that story of accidentally near drowning those poor kittens and ya just gotta accept this kind of thing happening in farm life. My Dad used to raise so many animals and even step mom had a moment where she accidentally lost a pup. It was sleeping under the bedding chips and she was a tiny frail lady just trying to get the waterfall for them. Nice that the bird made it but even if it hadn't, it's just how things go sometimes.

I love watching the interaction of teaching Bella how to be gentle. We have "class" where my younger kids sit and decorate raw eggs. Throughout the day, they carry their eggs with them, learning how to be gentle and how easy it is to crack or break (i.e., accidentally k*ll a chick) before we let them help carry chicks. We want to hatch out some full-size Cochins because they make excellent mamas, and my older kids love Silkies, so we are hoping to hatch some out (although having an incubator would be so much easier). If we had an incubator, I would put our Silver Appleyard Duck eggs in them and hatch out more ducks!

I am Hmong and we've been breeding this breed in our family and community since the early 1980s. Unfortunately, these chicks are most likely mixed. There should never be feathers on the feet. I'm interested in seeing how they grow. Hmong chickens are suppose to have much tighter feathering and a higher, more upright stance. Many American breeders are buying mosaics (which were just Ayam Cemani with lots of leakage) and calling them Hmong chickens. It really does our culture and signature breed a disservice. I know these eggs were a gift but if you're interested in Hmong Chickens, support a Hmong breeder. There's plenty in the US.

An incubator from y’all would be an amazing gift to wildlife rehab. We use incubators for fallen nests and neonatal animals like squirrels and opossums.

Glad the little chick recovered! These Hmongs are so neat and can't wait to see what they all look like as they mature! I am planning to get moss egger hatching eggs from a fellow chicken farmer in the Spring 😊 it will be my first time hatching eggs rather than purchasing pullets.

[@Duck-World]

I’ve been watching White House on the Hill since I was 10 years old, and I would love to have my own incubator so I can hatch my own ducklings. My friend and I rescue and raise Mallard ducklings every year and we were talking about getting an incubator sometime so we can try to hatch our own eggs, because we find abandoned duck nest every year, and it would be so fun! Thank you!!!🦆

[@KimberlyGingrich]

I have a daycare in my home, and we love to incubate chicks! The first time chicks were held, we talked about how fragile they were and if we held to tight we could hurt their little bones. When I say not to do something I always give a reason why. The children make sense of it much quicker.

[@WayneYoder-uo5es]

I just moved back out into the country after living in the city for a couple of years and I’m starting my own little farm . I love watching your videos and getting ideas to hatch and take care of chicks.

[@ljcl1859]

It's probably best to wait until she is older. She's just too young to understand. Yes, you need to teach her, but when she is ready. It made me extremely uncomfortable to watch you teach her when she is clearly not ready. She did not release her death grip when you told her to, which is the sign for you she isn't ready. Dont' worry, it won't be long till she is ready. Give her a year, and she will grow up so much. Instead of letting her hold them. Hold her hand so one finger is out so she can pet it with you. If she fusses and throws a tantrum, then you put her down until she comes down and is ready to try.

[@-Rigby-]

Yes I agree all the way!!!

[@MusicFandom]

Hello! I am glad the squeezy toy made it :) I have been saving up for an incubator. 9 weeks ago I got some chickens as something for me to do during the day, basically it is chicken therapy (I am disabled and in poor health) Over the last 9 weeks I have fallen in love with those chickens! I have a niece next door who is very involved with them and I would love to hatch some of mine (when they are laying of course) with her then give them to her to raise. They would be a Black Copper Morans / Rhode Island Red mix. Mine are super sweet, my legs are not long enough for them to all perch on but they still try to fit when I go sit with them every day!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Hi there! This is Jake... you are the winner of an extra incubator we have here at the house. Please email me at [e-mail] to get your info to ship it to you. Congrats!

[@juditharbelo2911]

I don’t feel Isabella is having a hard time, so please don’t allow such comments bring you down. Isabella is learning, and you two are awesome parents & teachers! Patting you two on the back for doing such an awesome job. I know, I am a no body, but I have watched your videos! May God co to us to provide you both with endurance, patience, and overflowing love!❤️

[@aprilfurcean8302]

I spent so much time with my kids teaching them “soft touches “. It just takes vigilance and repetition. But they will get it. I didn’t let them hold our pets until I could see that they could pet softly and then progressively moved toward them getting to hold them independently.

[@mosesgarcia6585]

I’ve recently started watching your channel with my son as our morning wake up videos & let me tell you how much peace you bring him he loves anything to do with fowl as we too have our own little chicken farm. This year we’ve been looking for good incubators at a moderate price range as we want to hatch more Silkie & his favorite Japanese bantam. Wish your family the best of fortune with your upcoming breeding season !

[@Jagger1275]

Maybe we dont let Bella hold new born chicks. She might be to young to get it and they are so delicate it just takes a second to have a mistake happen.

[@Huhwhatx]

yeah, some young kids don’t know how to handle small animals properly-

[@lh1554]

Why would you let such a young child hold a brand new baby chick? :(

[@victoriabowers4698]

Why wouldn't you let a child handle eggs? It's a teaching moment. Why wouldn't you want a child to learn?

[@putintin]

bella looks and acts like the girl from finding nemo

[@docbainl9504]

She's pretty horrid. Instant contraception if you ask me. Although the boys seem to be respectful. That little girl reminded me why I NEVER want children.

[@LeahMargaret]

We’ve never hatched eggs from an incubator. We had our Seabright go broody and she hatched 3. We’d love to try the incubator and hatch some silkies, more golden Seabrights and other Batam breads.

[@MrLittlelocka60]

hello i livr in british columbia canada and this year i am going to hatch out serama chicks we currently have 5 chickens and started with 3 we luv our little serama flock and this last year 2023 we hatched out roughly 60 chickens different breeds, about 20 seramas, some easter egg layers and i had so many colored ones and i even have an olive egger, we started with 10 Iso browns 3 years ago no rooster, then in the second year we added a rooster, we hatched 20 chicks that year and since it was just and experiment we used most of them for food, my daughter kept falling in love with them and almost didnt let us eat them lol she now lets u eat them but she wont touch them our seramas are just for love and they are pets here at our home

[@bolsen1981]

I honestly don't know what to say. I loved the video. Interesting birds and all. But the bit, where your baby daughter almost squeezed that chicken to death. Man, You need to be more responsible. She is WAY too young apparently. To hold a fragile animal like that. Your son is doing fine. Because he is a bit older. But you have to wait for a year or two. Before she is old enough for those small things. Just let her pet it while you hold it. Please. Otherwise, good video. Keep it up. 👍👍

[@CharidyTilsley]

That’s just stupid

[@zephyrwlf]

Please do not let that baby handle any more animals.

[@HuPu_YT]

huh​@Maple_on_paws98

[@Po82-7]

I thought it died but luckily it didn’t.

[@rosarykids9842]

​@@Po82-7 me to I also thought it had died because he never said it it ok and will go with the others . Poor thing she should get to hold them until she knows how to . Who agrees with me

[@-Rigby-]

Yeah that baby isn’t even three years old probably wait until they are at least 6 or 7 years old

[@emel444]

Stop being harsh, it's still important for them to learn how to properly handle them starting at a younger age.

[@carolinereposa3208]

Shouldn't let the young ones handle newborns give the babies time

[@Masonsclub]

Bruh the little kids have been practicing for years

[@brookebuth4794]

Bella will learn. You were clearly watching her and you told her to be gentle and from my perspective it seemed like she was listening and trying to follow your directions. She’s still so little it’s hard for her to hear “let go” and immediately translate that into relaxing her hand muscles. And you can tell she was picking up on your fear and probably clenching more or hesitating because she got nervous. She’ll get there, keep watching her closely and doing the open hand holds until she’s a little older. Also, would love the incubator! We would hatch out a heritage meat breed and start our own little sustainable meat flock to go alongside our current layers. And reach our own little girl how to gently hold chickens (: MI USA

[@bearwithme353]

I was thinking about trying to hatch supermarket eggs, to see if those other videos are true or not so I'd love a incubator.

[@royceb1245]

Don’t let you’re kid do anything again

[@estoniaandlatvia3508]

Dude She’s like 3

[@KelseyCoon-rq5fz]

Man, you need to be more responsible with your chicks I would definitely make it a rule to NOT let kids play with them… EDIT-I AM SERIOUS… 😐

[@user-the_car_guy]

Bro none gives a dick.

[@SaturnStudiosShop]

Please dont allow your children to hold the chicks when they are irresponsible and young.

[@Aspen_on_pawzz]

They grew up handling chicks, they’re ok

[@Kodanikage]

The diversity of your flock is beautiful

[@kimmycolibri4133]

I'm a mew chicken keeper and I will be hatching calico bantam cochins and silkies. I also wanted to hatch quails. This would be amazing if I won! Thank you for the opportunity and thank you for sharing your journey and family with us😊

[@lolwat5418]

Why do you keep letting Isabella go for the death grip? This isn’t the first time! 🤬

[@nicoleackerman1130]

Sh*t parenting. Please don't own any small pets anymore. You don't deserve them.

[@docbainl9504]

Preach it. 🙏

[@akibirfan1858]

PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR BABIES HOLD CHICKS THAT ARE JUST BORN!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???? ITS 100% YOUR FAULT.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Chick survived. Cool your jets.

[@docbainl9504]

​@@whitehouseonthehillcool the chick is alive but you continue to let your daughter be in a position to hurt animals? You're the adult? Was it that important to get that shot or your views? This is the problem with the animal side of youtube and the people who exploit their young children on youtube. She's way too young to give consent and the animals have got no choice either. This is why I'm selective with the few animal channels I subscribe to. The ones who don't involve kids are the best. It's double exploitation. The kid gets painted as an infant serial killer or defended as just a child. And the rare animal that was gifted to you as an honourable gift was just treated like another replaceable house chicken. In south East Asian culture if you receive a rare gift like this it's an honour and you show respect by looking after it. You are so disrespectful to your viewer and their culture you treated it like another replaceable house chicken. There's less then 500 of these in the US and you let your mini serial killer almost squeeze the life out of it. Telling people to cool their jets cause it didn't die but you have no self reflection. It's not just about a missed mishap. It's about how you treat loyal viewers who send you probably their most expensive clutch. To get manhandled by a toddler with no respect for her daddy. 😂

[@JustCliff]

@@docbainl9504exactly, it's a rare breed. I wouldn't let anyone under 5 hold a small animal. They think it's a doll when it's a live creature that can die. "Look don't touch" is the easiest way kids can be involved without possible harm. @whitehouseonthehill take the criticism with humbleness, it could have turned south in a minute

[@Knight-shorts]

I would hatch some Easter Eggers. I’ve had them before, but my dad‘s landlord told us we couldn’t have them so in the process of moving them they were left in a cage overnight, and a bobcat killed all of them😢

[@katinachoiniere8656]

I am going to hatch Silver Bielefelders this Spring. Also a very rare breed. I have a rooster now and hope for many hens for him so I can breed them here. I cant wait to get my hatching eggs this April!

[@CatalpaCreekFarm]

Wow! How generous of you. We are going to hatch out some mille fleur d'uccle bantam chicks for my daughter to show in 4h for her first year this year. Fingers crossed....this incubator would be a blessing. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

[@karenpowell4626]

Mille Fleur ductless were my favorites! I hatched out many and they were so sweet! Another one that was cuddly was my Belgian Quail d'Anvers! I had one little roo and all he wanted was to sit in my hand with his feet dangling between my fingers and snuggle my face and neck. Another great bantam is the bantam coaching. They are good mommas! Polish and silkies are also sweet!

[@CatalpaCreekFarm]

@@karenpowell4626 we love the bantams. They are my daughters favorites. We do have some silkies and a few polish. I will have to check out the cochins and the Belgian ones you suggested. Thank you very much.

[@loyabeltransusanarenee5811]

I was panicking about the babies too both yours and the chick I'm so happy your toddler learned how to handle them so fast and the chick made it 💝 This is definetly a beautiful thing but it requires education and demands for a lot of time and total responsibility I applaud your dedication.

[@stephanieshepherd8476]

We would love to have this incubator. we will be hatching frizzles and regular silkies. We have only had chickens for 10months and can’t believe we ever did without them.

[@wahwahworld-hr8to]

This was first one I'd watched and Il be honest my heart stopped when you allowed your toddler to handle a tiny chicken 😮 what was you thinking, my dad delt with fowl and we could not touch anything until we was old enough to understand consequences of our actions I hope you learned something. That was painful to watch, I'm just glad the chicken is fine

[@adventurehippie0514]

I have 3 littles who are 4,3&2 years old and we are planning on doing plymoth and Rhode Islands. This is our first year and love the idea of learning a few handy sustainable tricks before we moved to our next home with property.

[@nancymcdonald6890]

I want to have chickens again and hatch some Americana's or Easter Eggers, 40+ years ago I hatched 17 out of 19 Americana eggs, with a borrowed incubator. My neighbor helped be butcher 8 of the nine roosters and I gave all but 2 blue hens to the person who gave me the eggs. The cat I had at the time was so interested in the eggs when they started peeping. and when they started hatching...

[@amandakoehn3713]

So fun! We homeschool and currently have live chicks coming in the mail @ the end of Feb! I'd love to hatch out some Speckled Sussex ❤ .

[@randyjenkins8896]

poor kid didn't understand her strength, there was obviously no malice. but this is a teaching moment as some actions have dire consequence and a situation like this should be supervised the way you did. nice chicks too lol.

[@NamelessNancy1312]

i love how the first guess was for 5 hatched and thats what happened. Kudos to the good guesser!

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- 10:21 please do not ever let the kids hold them again. That poor thing 😢😢😢😢😢. I can't watch anymore. ☠️ R.I.P.

[@ianpimped]

an incubator to hatch my silkies would come handy :)

[@alissalloyd9862]

Hi there! I can't wait to see how these chicks continue to grow. I would love this incubator! I'm hoping to hatch American Bresse, and heritage lines of RIR, BLRW and heritage turkeys this year. I love the visibility of this incubator for my 3 year old and my 10 month old!

[@alissalloyd9862]

Maybe also some celadon quail if I convince my husband. LOL
