I always loved hatching chick's out and I loved watching them, I'm 63yrs old now and live in an apt. Building, i sure miss the country
We have a 1-year-old Black Australorp named Onyx. They lose that cream/white and become solid black with dark brown eyes. Black feathers have a green iridescent sheen. We love this hen because she is quiet (no egg song) although she's near the top of the pecking order. She lays medium lighter brown eggs with heavy bloom, so they appear pink. She had a mini-molt at 9/10 months old and stopped laying for 2 months while she lost only 10% of her feathers.
The last one can be called happy feet, reminds me of a penguin 🐧 so cute❤
Awww, I love the Golden-laced Wyandotte!! I looked for them last year (I like pairs, not the minimum that most places require), but never saw any in the local stores. I still have my Australorp that I got when I first got chickens.... about 5 or 6 years ago. Surprisingly, she still goes broody!! AND.... really TO MY SURPRISE, she hatched TWO batches last summer!!! Bless her heart. Sooo, I bought 2 more Australorps (baby chicks) last summer. I'm anxious to see if they will go broody this year...or if it's still too soon. I love for my flock to be a mixed breed. I love seeing their uniqueness. I have one hen that was hatched here last summer.... she looks like a Barred Rock, but she has feathers on her feet (got that from her momma) & the little poof on her head. I love it!! 🙂
I love how excited you are about homesteading. I am glad that I have found your channel. I have gone through a few of your videos and have subscribed for more.
This is so cool I get a broody hen the same day y'all put a video out saying y'all have a broody hen too!! So exciting!!!!
My lil showgirl silky hatched 14 out of 15 eggs recently. blew my mind that all but one hatched & all were hers & she lays every other day give or take. They’re about a 5 weeks old “1/2 Showgirl Silky, 1/2 Golden Laced Crested Polish
That’s so exciting!! I can’t wait to get chickens onto my little homestead
Murray McMurray identifies which of their hens lay good, better, and best. I like to purchase “best” layers to get more eggs throughout the year. We live in a high desert of southern Utah and our last average frost is May 20. We have cold winters, but the hens continue to lay well. I have 31 hens, and so far in February they have laid 31 eggs twice (100%), 30 eggs four times, 29 eggs six times, 28 eggs five times, 27 eggs once, 26 eggs twice, and between 24-15 the early days of Feb. The breed is Amber Stars. Other “best” layers are Red Stars, White Leghorns, and Black Australorps. So, if you’re interested in getting more eggs, you may want to try hens that lay more. (I might call the Ameraucana “Betsy” (for Betsy Ross), but I usually don’t name my hens, occasionally a rooster. (Sorry this is so long.)
I have black laced gold wyandottes! I have a rooster, his name is Fat Boy because he is a chunker! They are great dual purpose chickens! Hope all is well Tom and fam!
I got 5 eggs today live in Mich haven't seen 5 since fall. Wish one of mine girls would go broody
YAY What an Awesome family 😊❤
Thank you so much!😁
I took in 5 australorp hens that were in need of a new home. They are my favorite ❤️ would def get more down the road 😊
Instead of the Sharpie marker, you should use either a pencil or a crayon. Those won't penetrate the shell, but the marker has liquid & can penetrate the shell.
I agree I use a pencil when I'm hatching eggs 😊
I’ve had chicks going since December lol new to the game started small. I’m on my third batch now in the incubator. My five-year-old and I are having a blast with the babies.
Your information has helped us a lot. And we really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Awesome
I love Golden Lace Wyandotte ❤ Also the silver lace Wyandotte. I hope to get chickens soon !❤
Marry and Connie would be cute for the Ameraucanas 🐓 😁
I live in Indiana, it is a little warmer here but not much. We are at the same place you are new chicks in the brooder and plant starts everywhere in the house still a little too cold for the green house but soon I hope. Love your vids
Amerucana 👉 Mary . Ozzy for the ostrelope 😁
Golden Laced Wyandotte name could be Lacey, Bronze, black chickens : Licorice, Raisin, Ebony, Charcoal, Sooty, Coal.
We have hatched eggs twice. It is so much fun
I enjoyed your video!!
I am maxed out at 9 hens.
I told my husband, "I am not going to buy any, I just want to go to TSC and see the babies", he said, "Nope" 🤣😂
😢Amber links are great chickens and great layers mine are almost a year love them
Astrolop will give you pinkish light brown eggs....I use Kalbach Hen House select and Chicken Scratch....hanging feed is cost effective because there is less waste
Love watching your videos. Last year we got baby chicks for the very first time. We got 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes in that batch. We named them Lacy and Daisy. So hard to tell them apart except Daisy has a little more gold on her tail feathers. Our next batch of chicks will be next year and hope to try Australorps and Ameraucanas. So I am very interested to see how you like yours.
In the last 2 weeks my manual can opener and zester literally fell apart from years of use. I am replacing with 2 of each. One for now and one for what if. Something I would not have thought of before watching your content. Thank you!
Gwennie and Winnie for the Wyandotte chicks, are pretty good names in my humble opinion.
i would like to have many chickens like u have i'm waiting for spring to get the baby chicks ;)
We have a Golden Lace Wyandotte named Caramel. ❤
Love how many chickens you have
I'm downsizing my flock now.... actually just delivered 11 to a friend who lives down the road....& that still leaves me TWENTY-ONE & a rooster!! I MIGHT eat 2 eggs in a week's time, & live in a very rural area & don't want to mess with selling eggs, sooo, I decided that I needed to cut it down a bit. I sure hope I can stick to my guns when the chicks start arriving at the stores!! 😂
I have 8 turkeys also, & am going to re-home a pair of those as well. I live alone, & it's just way too expensive to keep that many when I'm not utilizing their benefits. 🙂
I have a black Australorp named Samantha and my golden laced Wyandotte is named golden girl. My Americana is named Missy (not sure why). 😂
I will not get 2 of any breed anymore lol. We have a few sets we can barely tell them apart My 2 silver laced, forget it they are identical. We named our Bhramas Daisy and Sunflower. Guess what? Daisy is now Disaster because we got a suprise Rooster. We are preparing for our next 20 chicks all single breeds Lol
I love buff orpington roosters and hens. The roosters are not overly ruff on the hens. The roosters are not aggressive.
I have the same type of platform for my waterers. 😊
I plan on getting 15 more orpingtons. They are great in our Michigan winter. I had two partridge rock hen sit on eggs last year. I cant wait for the hend to start getting broody this year. ❤
2:12 I really like the name black tea
I have a golden laced Wyandotte. We call her Dottie.
Also, your excitement is contagious! I have started some seedlings myself. My lettuce is already sprouting.
I have pair of gold lace Wyandotte they are cool pretty and lay ex large eggs. Light tan color
HOW FUN!!!!! They are SO CUTE!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!! God Bless!!! ❤🙏
That first Australorp is a Female, I just got 7 of those and 8 golden comets. Good Luck & Have Fun
Chickens for 3 years & no hen has hatched any eggs? Obsurd! lol “I’ve had chickens 8 months & 3 hens hatched out eggs for me” ? From my experience the lil I have. My silky hen will go broody with 12-16 eggs silkies are one of the Broodiest chickens there are. She just hatched 14 out of 15 of her own eggs that are about 6 weeks old. & last fall or end of summer 2 of my 3 golden laced hens went broody together “not a very broody breed I’ve heard but “1st one had to fight off my red highlander hens from the nest & called for backup?” lol but sure enough both went broody together side-by-side in the corner of my garage and we’re laying on 24 eggs. Occasionally took turns sitting while one went and use the bathroom or ate or what not but the majority of the time they were side-by-side, and is a pretty amazing experience really. Of course I did the incubator thing because I wanted to see it take place with poor results in comparison to the silky hen alone. That recently hatched out as much as 2 of my incubators combined in the coldest month of the year at that lol. Blew my mind already commented b4 but thought I’d add a lil more what I experienced I guess lol. But yeah, I’m thinking because of this small experience. If you put roughly a dozen to 16 eggs in a nest one of the hens are going to be almost forced by nature to go broody. 🤔
Hi love, your videos!
Hey thanks!
I’m thinking of switching over to that feed! Thank you. What are your plans for the older hens?
Grocho Americana, whyendotts Lucy and Eathal
Butter & Caramel
Coco
Mocha & Latte
Oreo
Grrr I need one of those kind of containers so bad. But cost so much here
Glad to see you getting more chicks, I have Blue Laced Red Wyandotte flock and cant wait to start incubating soon, just a tip, when marking the eggs with dates use a pencil rather than a sharpie just incase the marker leaks through the shell, because of the heat and humidity of the hens body, Good luck
How old are your existing hens when you replace?
And do you keep them in layers?
Nugget😂
Hot Wing
BEST OF LUCK TO Y'ALL ❤
Where did u get that green and white hat?
That chick name screamed MARCO
You should name the wyandottes Chocolate chip!
YOU SHOULD ADD A BLACK MARAN TO YOUR FLOCK...
i have golden wyandots they are bossy and mean i had to separate them from my road island reds
Dang & reds aren’t that nice either lol I bet you have your hands full over there. I have 9 Highlander hens, 3 golden laced Polish, 3 white leg horns, & 1 “stray bard rock?” That found its way here somehow lol my golden laced crested Polish Rooster “Rambo” & 3 half Silky half polish pullets that all run around together. And the Highlander red hens are the meanest out of all mine by far. For the most part, most of the hens will nitpick a little bit here and there, but the red hens will straight up brawl. It’s hard to tell really if it’s two or three different ones or usually the same one because they look so much alike. And the more I see different ones do it. Smdh
Don't use sharp ie for eggs only pencil more people need to look that up before the do it
Can you show us how to identify female VS male?
Females chickens have rounded wings male chickens have pointed wings and the feathers on the bottom point out more lol you can find a video here on TH-cam on sexing your chickens ❤
name one Sophie. it is an amazing name! and piper. I love that name
Onyx
