We Bought Chickens in the WEIRDEST Place

[@IamwhoIam333]

Several years ago I met a young family who had a very shy child. They wanted to get her a pet to help her out with her shyness. So I suggested a couple of baby chicks. So they went to the feed store and talked to the clerk and came home with 3 chick's. The best thing that ever happened to that child. She still has them and they are her best friends and she loves sharing her chicken stories. Which helped her shyness around people.

[@barbarahouk1983]

A nice heartwarming story. So glad you shared it.

[@alwho1807]

Sweet story!!

Why is he so rough with the chicks 😢( btw I know it doesn’t hurt them)

[@devium]

They are so light they barely even notice being moved around like that. It looks really rough and mean but they literally weight a couple ounces. Its why various birds who have nests really high up have their babies chuck themselves out of nests and are fine when they land.

[@Orikix]

Unfortunately, that is how it has become in such professions where you take care of hundreds if not thousands every day😢 Those chosen for the "White house on the hill" at least get a good home on their farm. Prayers to all the others🐣

[@Orikix]

@@devium Yes, you're right, but on the other hand, it's about the ethical... and whether it's actually okay to treat them that way

Really beautiful animals on your farm. Dolly has the sweetest face but I really love all the birds. Some of their colors are gorgeous.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I enjoy watching your little ones with the chickens. Your chicken supplier takes his time, and enjoys taking care of his customer/friends.

[@cajunchef35]

Here in louisiana, we have a lot of hot days with no real winter. When i put chicks in my brooder, i plug my heatlamp into the thermostat for my seed starting heat mats, and place the probe just under their substrate. Works like a charm. No guessing.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

We usually turn it on at night and leave it off during the day. But when we build a barn, we’ll include a chick brooder room and consider doing something like that.

[@tracybowling1156]

Oh my goodness, Uriah! He is so cute dancing to his own music while helping out! He is so sweet! So are all the kiddos. Always willing to help out. Great work guys!

[@LexEllisOG]

Can there be a later video showing what chicken lays which egg please? I just love your family so much, you guys are so incredible, the work ethic, the bond, and the love for nature. Thank you so much for all your videos I’m always happier at the end of the video then when I began watching it.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

That’s a great idea

[@byrdurbex]

I'll put my two cents in and say that the white peacock should be isolated. There likely is a disease or virus that he and his (sadly) deceased siblings have contracted, and he probably developed the antibodies to not be affected. It's unfortunate, but in my opinion, it is better to have one isolated peacock than a dead flock. Also, I personally do not know if you have any exotic vets nearby or if they would do a checkup on him, but if you can, I definitely recommend it. Best of luck with the peacock!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

It’s possible. We’ll see if we can get him tested for disease.

[@jenniferwaterhousesson7891]

[@mercerowen1920]

I spotted 3 cockerels in your group of young chickens. You already pointed out the cream legbar. The black copper marans and speckled Sussex both looked like males too. Also curious if you would be interested in some bobwhite quail or chukar in your aviary? I’d be willing to send you eggs next year just to see you try your hand at raising them.
