The hen coming to you for safety from the excited rooster is so sweet. When my family had chickens, this one hen, Princess, would place herself behind me whenever Sotis, another hen, was bullying her. She learned quickly that I would place myself between them and guard her. They are for sure not as stupid as often portrayed. Chickens are able to perform quite fascinating tricks, and if I get a flock again in the future, I would love to clicker train them. Beautiful, misunderstood creatures.

Many years ago, when my late mother was a child growing up on a farm, they had a duck who had laid eggs and was sitting on them. Something happened to her, and she died, so my grandmother put the eggs under a nesting hen. She hatched a batch of baby chicks and baby ducklings. She accepted them all as her own. Eventually, the baby ducks found the water with the help on another duck and got in the pond. The poor mother chicken went crazy with fear! She thought her babies would drown! That's all I was told. Your solution was perfect and solved her problem. You, my dear sir, are amazing!

[@krislaracoelho8643]

This is so much more wholesome than the way I've always been taught to "reset" incubating chickens! I spent half my childhood at a farm, and had been taught to give chickens who wouldn't stop incubating a cool/cold bath, which obviously stresses them out quite a bit, but this way just respects their natural rhythms and I love it

[@cluckcluckchicken]

Sometimes you have to "reset" them if it's very hot outside and they aren't leaving the nest to drink water. I usually leave them alone, but if they start looking dehydrated then you have to boot them out!!

[@krislaracoelho8643]

@cluckcluckchicken that's true! I'm from a tropical country and that was one of the main annoyances during summer at the farm, and now I think about it, may have been another reason why the bath thing was recommended. There would always be 3 or 4 chickens trying to nest during summer and at that point, it was bucket bath time

[@dreamofwings]

Chickens go broody when they hit a certain body temperature and it's easy for it to happen in hot weather. Being broody also stresses them since they'll forgoe food and water in favor of sitting on eggs for days at a time so really it's a coin toss whether it's best to let them stay at it or soak them.

[@FusRoDarshinae]

The bath is to lower their body temperature which makes them snap out of it. but you dont have to bath them you can also just put them in another run with food and water and a roost but without access to a nesting place for a few days until they get over it. Thats what i do as i dont have room for more chicks at present.

[@aanimavilis1492]

We do the same. In our country is mid climate so soaking chickens in summer is unessesery bc you can just take them to garage for a while But I think in hotter climate it may be more difficult to cool them down

Or course, after a while, they began to side eye his tidbitting since it didn't always involve tasty treats. I've also had some hens that tried to crow.

We weren’t sure what would happen, but with care she powered through, healed up, and grew up to be… the tiniest hen of the flock. Don’t be mistaken. Girlfriend was a beast. She kept everyone in line, protected her sister, crowed, laid small eggs, fought like she was in Thunderdome, and would jump on top of the other chickens that were three times her size and bite their neck feathers like a rooster that was trying to mate or show off. And when she really wanted to be a boss, she would deepen her little voice, redden her face, and drag her wings on the ground. The others would just freeze. When I held her, she would sit on my lap and close her eyes when I pet her head. She taught me many things, and I, to this day, have not even seen a rooster act as dramatic as she.

One night we snuck some goslings under both of them and how their countenance instantly changed! From hopelessly wanting babies to, "Oh, what's that I hear under my wings!"

Then, all of a sudden - he changed gender and laid some eggs. (We did not have any nest box, because there was no intention ever to try to get them nesting.) - Obviously his hormones were quite in disarray. The eggs were empty, of course. Then he grew fatter, and fatter, and could not fly anymore. (This issue was first taken care of lifting him up from the floor with a stick, and then another of our budgies taught him - her - whatever - to use chairs and plants, etc, to get back to the cage or up to the curtain rod, if/when he flew downwards to the floor. - But I guess his body just could not cope with all these changes, so he did not live very long after that. It was not, that he was looking otherwise sick or anything, he was one happy bird - but it was just too much for his body at grown up years. Now when I think of it, he may have had a brain tumor or alike, that caused this, but....

I find it fascinating that sometimes a hen will start crowing and even start to look more rooster-like (growing longer tail feathers, for example), usually when there's no biological rooster in the flock. When you grow up and read about more complicated parts of nature, that you didn't read as a kid, you really understand how many variations there are of life. Humans aren't alone in changing s3x (humans just need the help of medicine or surgery sometimes, unlike some animals who suddenly produce the required hormones themselves), gay partnerships and being intersex / hermaphrodite. It's cool. Makes me so sad to see people of the world deny that it is part of nature, too. How boring would the world be if there was only one way to exist. I wish people got along better.

Amen to that 🙏

7:24 aww - poor little girl. And . . . I thought you were going to do that :)🐣🐓🌷🌱 What beautiful chicks and their little mother so happy, like hens love to be. Thank you so much for sharing this. Surely brightens up the day :) ❤️💞☀️

I love the ending… happy momma chicken ❤

[@iagodoslago9875]

i haven't checked his channel in a long time, but i find myself coming back when i feel sad. his warmth to the little creatures always puts my heart at peace.

[@nancyadams9228]

My Toulouse Goose, Bruce laid an egg. He became Lucy! Much happiness today in the NE!

[@mandarr3853]

My friend had a bearded dragon named Bruce... whio also laid an egg!

[@CompletelyWild04]

ACCA you are my inspiration. I now deal in poultry conservation and have rescued and raised several different kinds of birds, including a house sparrow. If I had a childhood hero and role model, it would be you. Also, beautiful Belgian Bearded D'Anver! Their looks can be very deceiving and the hens are super tough! Common to see them act like roosters. 💗 Thank you for all you do!

[@cocohamster]

This title caught my attention! Roosters aren’t supposed to lay eggs, right? I’m so curious to see how this happened! Is it a joke or a rare phenomenon? Can’t wait to find out what’s going on

[@duduhilx6497]

It's hen and some hens in rare cases start to crow, more so when there is no rooster around

[@partapgola3785]

I can’t believe it! This must be a mix-up or a joke, right? I’ve never heard of such a thing before! I’m eager to find out what’s really happening in this video

[@PSSAMRAT]

I’m intrigued! I love animals and their quirks, so I’m curious to see how a rooster could lay an egg. This title has definitely piqued my interest-can’t wait to watch

[@BnbhogenderKumarBnBhogenderkum]

Wow, this sounds unbelievable! I’m excited to see if this is a rare occurrence or if there’s more to the story. Farming always has its surprises, and I’m here for it

[@scottwright388]

When I was a kid, my grandfather would ask us...if a rooster layed an egg on the peak of the roof, which way would it fall?

[@GRUUVESx]

It's not common, but sometimes hens partway through life become infertile roosters. One day they will just start crowing and then they grow larger comb & waddles, as well as adopting a typically male feather pattern including saddle & longer tail feathers. Animals are fascinating ! I love chickens & chicken keeping 🥰😍😘

[@kinderleichtlerneneasypeas6885]

I think this only happens if no rooster is there...

[@flagerdevil]

Aww! A vergin mother 😁 Now she still doesn't know how chicks are made! 👀😆

[@oq1106]

Well she's not a virgin, she's just (probably) infertile - so if we're going biblical, she's Mary's sister Elizabeth, that had a "miracle baby" through angelic intervention.

[@flagerdevil]

@@oq1106 How would you know? 🤷 Did I miss the 'act' on camera?

[@Tarina66]

I am always so happy to see your support in animals especially birds. So sweet your effort joy, love & wisdom in the progress to happiness. Thank 🌺 you for being the Kind man you are, loving and helping animals 🐣🐤🐥🐓🐔🐦🪶🌿🍀🐞

[@onehickpony]

As a trans guy, thanks for supporting your oddball chicken's journey to happiness. Some of us creature are weird, but all we want is love and support! You did good by your little chicken!

[@christhebirb]

Now that you mention it, I can't unsee the parallels to being trans 😄 Love from Germany! 🏳‍⚧

[@myleerose31866]

We had a hen years ago that would try to crow...she lived to be 16 and I got a little laugh every morning. Because like our noisiest rooster..waited for the door to open and then crow. Our rooster laid eggs for many years. So cute..

[@studiorootsjmb7098]

Fijn dat het allemaal gelukt is, en heel erg leuk om te zien. Met vriendelijke groet Joke Blokland & Teus van Houwelingen uit Noordeloos.

[@ml.5377]

I have had two hens crow like a rooster. Once in a group of new hens before the rooster reached maturity and the second time after our Silkie rooster died and one of her favorite hens took over guarding the flock.

[@sherinebernardbennett9202]

Omg. She was holding down 2 jobs...laying them eggs and crowing but once the rooster came. The roles went back to normal. She needed the balance😅

[@ellenk5105]

She is such a sweet sweet girl ❤

[@Spiritprime91]

What a beautiful mumma

[@munnibiswas9944]

What a wonderful mamma birdie...u are a lovely and wholesome person...May God bless you all ..all the time...such a sweet video

Congratulations it’s a girl. 0:45

[@littlehimdiddylearns]

My 7 year old son and I recently came across your channel and we are so grateful that we did! He says you are his favorite KZbinr now❤ I would not be surprised if my son grew up to be just like you. Thank you for all that you do and thank you for sharing it with us.

[@finnia-mithundundhuhn9102]

Baardjes are absolut great Mommys ❤

[@fordoccena3746]

thats a hen. FYI there are females that crows. happy bantam keeping 😊

[@dragonbowlsupper]

I affectionately call my chickens that act like this "transhender" and let them choose if they want to hang out with the hens or the bachelor flock. Does the bird still crow I wonder?

[@protect_trans_lives]

Cute

[@dragonbowlsupper]

@protect_trans_lives thank you 😊 right now I have 2 birds who were born roosters but spend their day on the nest building the nest and making little happy sounds. They never crow or fight or try to mate with the hens. They seem happy so I just let them be.

[@protect_trans_lives]

@@dragonbowlsupper Wonderful. Sounds like they're living the dream. :) :D

[@Raniphae]

that's such a cute pun! I think it's easy for us humans to forget that animals can be intersex too, after all.

[@silverdrag0n_]

that is adorable

[@randomfandom184]

My little hen has 4 changelings, now all bigger than herself, still trying to cuddle under her wings. This video is so so relatable for me. It does a heart good to bestow motherhood on these determined little broodies. Well done.

[@NadoriKaija]

It's possible it has both genders. Really rare in chickens, but not impossible. The eggs will probably always be infertile, but there's a chance, I think. She still makes a fantastic foster mom though.

[@hendog276]

I did not wake up today expecting to see a rooster lay an egg

[@LCLW63]

She is just darling and all she wanted was to be a mama! You truly are the bird/egg/ animal whisperer cause you did so much for her just to make her happy! P.S. I always let the ads play through as I'm unable to donate or join your patreon so this is my way of supporting your amazing work! xo

[@samanthadean1083]

…Well, that’s one way to find out it’s a girl! 😅 Lol, she might also have changed genders, I know peacocks can do that in rare cases!
