Can we get an update video on the mandarin duck eggs

[@silkorsilkie]

My silkie hen Sally hatched out 9 of the 11 eggs she was sitting on, just a few days ago! 7 fluffy and colourful silkie chicks (one with white skin!) and 2 normal chickens. One of those looks like a penguin!😂♡

[@ichyball45]

It’s bizarre to me that this channel isn’t as popular as other family channels. This is how I would actually see a family channel vs the facade of other family channels. This family is so genuine. It’s unreal and I am here for it.

[@thegoldenjuvi5977]

Yeah other family channels just try to use kids for money but this channel man they respect the kids for once

[@sarasolomon4812]

I think that in order to get REALLY popular, the parents need to exploit their children for views. I feel that "White House" mainly view themselves as a "Homesteading/startup farming" channel, not a "Look how cute our family is!" channel. There kids aren't being recorded 24/7, there seem to be no videos on discipline issues, potty training, school problems, family conflicts kinda stuff. Those things get lots of views, but aren't healthy for the kids. I really prefer it this way!

Bantams are such great mothers. I swear our rooster went clunky once after his girlfriend passed away while sitting on their eggs. Cos she died 5 days b4 they hatched and he barely left the nest!

[@r.k.dreamingspetchickens1266]

Wow. That amazing! DId the rooster end up hatching the eggs himself? I am sorry you lost your hen though. Did the chicks end up being okay? How lovely the rooster was smart enough to know what to do.

[@aviendha1154]

@@r.k.dreamingspetchickens1266 yeah he did. Weirdly the chick's didn't really bond to him however. Instead they followed round the first hen they saw.

[@r.k.dreamingspetchickens1266]

@@shimasfaris2917 Glad you got three. Was it an incubator hatch? I found will mailed eggs I got a really low hatch rate (i could see the air cells burst inside them when I candled them after they arrived), but with 9 eggs freshly laid by our chickens (now we have a rooster) I'm looking forward to hopefully 7 of them hatching. Looking good one my last candling. fingers crossed. Hopefully you will have better luck next time.

[@jenifernellie5138]

We just hatch 9 silkie babies from our magic fly incubator. We started with 14 eggs. First week, we had 1 quitter. 2nd week, we had 2 quitters. Hatch day came (day before Easter)and we woke up to 6 hatched babies in the incubator. As the day went on, 3 more hatched. 2 eggs didn’t make it. We have three mixed colors, 5 gray ones, and 1 little black one!!! Love the silkie babies!!! Congrats to you guys!!!!

[@Kappucinokiss1]

Omg I'm so glad that the silkie mom actually got to hatch out her babies and she was watching them carefully. ♥️

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Silkies are my favorite breed of chicken. They are friendly and if you spend time with them when they are little chicks, they will usually come when called and sit on your lap and let you pet them all day long. I always kept my Silkies separate from all my other birds. We had a Silkie that was a multitude of different colors, she was the most beautiful chicken I've ever had. Great video, thanks for sharing this.

[@fireguy8315]

Thank you for doing what you do. You are the the reason why I now own seven chicks and two ducklings. We are going to transition the ducklings into a coop soon. It is insane how fast they grow compared to the ducks!

[@azure4631]

[@jenni8982]

We had one silkie that laid eggs. She laid them in the corner of the coop none of the chickens went to. She wouldn't sit in them. We had brooding boxes, but only one silkie rooster would go in them to sleep. That's it. I used an incubator on the eggs. Only one hatched... on day 23. I think we just had some screwed up silkies.

Those little chicks look really strong, healthy and sturdy. They were lifting their little legs really high to walk in the grass with no trouble or stumbling at all. Wily and Healthy Baby Silkies.

[@Oniqueen]

We call brooding hens 'cluckers', and when I told my mom about 'brooding hens' she had no idea people called them that, we've always called them 'cluckers'. Probably due to the fact they cluck very loudly when they're broody. Interesting bit of regional dialect for you.

[@r.k.dreamingspetchickens1266]

[@sophiamangum2969]

That's so good to know that silkies like to brood a lot...I have 4 silkies and one of them started laying eggs last week...I really hope she broods on them soon!

[@margery2067]

Love from Maryland ♡ thank you for always brightening up our days.

[@CraigsOverijse]

Super cute chucks Silkies incidentally from experience the fastest way to stop a broody hen from sitting all day is to cool her down they brood when they get hot. So pop her in a cage with no nesting material and raised on bricks to let the air flow all around her keep her shaded and free from other hens and the rain give her food and water allow the air to circulate around her especially under her leave her there and once her temperature drops usually a couple of days she will stop brooding and go back to eating and running about.

Hehe you telling the guinea fowl to be quiet is relatable. My school has (had? Idk, we're building a new coop so they're not at the school farm atm) a small flock of guinea fowl and they're so loud all the time. One time they escaped their coop and onto the field and we had to corral them back. I feel bad, they really need more space, space we don't have
