I am 12, and I have been interested in goat horses and chicken for over 2 years. I love watching your TH-cam videos because of how much information about your animals and tips and tricks on how to watch ducks to chicken.
Can't get over the shot where he's putting new eggs in front of the hens, and they're all "yes, my children, my bigger egg babies, those go under me, all these are mine now" while they scramble to get them all under them
@@crowdemon_archives i remember having a broody chicken when an epidemic surged through the flock.. there were no eggs available for hatching so i just slipped a used lightbulb underneath her to keep her away from the flock.. totally helped😅 though i guess, she most certainly wondered why it took so long to hatch it😆
Hi, Great video,...! Retired zoo Keeper here, 73, I've had ANIMALS all my life. Just a suggestion on the nests, of the surrogate mom's. I used small Dutch HENS, a few YRS BACK to HATCH standard Barnevelders,.... 3 eggs at a time. I made sure the nests were deep enough.... used a soft base, couple inches, fine sawdust, clean soil, sod etc.... then a few inches soft nesting material, deep enough to keep bowl shape. YOU want the nest to keep that nice bowl configuration. The eggs, need a deeper bowl, since the eggs being set, are usually larger than the HEN would produce on her own.....ex COCHIN bantam, covering PEA FOWL eggs. Granted your HATCH was great, but just a tip... to avoid any problems,.... should the weather change etc.....great videos, I enjoy watching...... Thanks...

The peachick with the bent leg looks like it might have a slipped tendon and that's why the leg stays bent. Like splay leg, it happens sometimes shortly after hatching. I had a couple chicks with the bent leg and I found that carefully stretching the leg out and making a splint sometimes helps correct the issue.
Oh, good suggestion. I wondered if putting a splint or type of cast on the leg might help. I'd love to find out later that this little chick got better.
I've seen splay leg corrected by placing a rubber band ( with just enough tightness) above the "knees/elbows" of both legs, holding the crooked one in the correct position. Don't know how long it stayed on.
@A. O. does it matter how much a thing has suffered. Does it make it more ethical? Apparently, lobsters and other crustaceans don't have a brain, but does that make it so torturing and killing a lobster is the same as with plants? Are we going to feel bad for something based on the level of its intelligence or whether it has a brain or not?
I love how these videos don't hide anything about the way our world works, he just admits that the chicks died, bit he also shows you the amazing side and how life's created. I love these videos!
Dr Pol, the vet from Michigan, would make a splint for the pea chick with a crumbled leg. He would stretch the leg out with a split, probably made from a tongue depressor or something similar, and let it stay on the chick for 2 to three weeks. After that time, he would un wrap the splint and see of the animal can walk successfully on it's own.
@@nilasspasov8417 probably cause these people were handling them too much. If they were touching and playing with them this much on camera, imagine how much they must have handled them off camera. Those little things are so delicate. You shouldn't touch them all the time.
How this came into my recommended is beyond me. I said to myself that I would give it a chance and before I knew it I watched the whole thing. In a world of negatively this was a breath of fresh air.
I miss having poultry. I had a male silkie that liked sitting on the eggs then he would hatch them and raise them. He raised various kinds of chickens & ducks and also some Guinea fowl all at once. He crowed and they attempted to crow. It was adorable. I wish we had smart phones back then so I could have recorded it. 🐣🐤🐥🦆
12:16 ohhhh the duckling wanted to go with them!!! My heart!! And I’m no bird specialist, but the chick with the hurt leg looks like it’s getting around on one leg so well! Idk if it’ll survive, but if it makes it, I think it should be named Bo (bow)
....wait, 'bow' like "take a bow"(like on stage before an audience) OR 'bow' like "tie the ribbon in a bow" ? _I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the duckling trying to go with too!!_ 😊
This makes me feel so nostalgic because I was raised on a bird sanctuary/farm. I loved all the crazy peacocks, peahens and so many other birds. Even though the peafowl could scratch up any shiny surface (like cars), I still loved seeing them roost in a huge Oak tree, the boy's tails hanging down like some fantastical iridescent vine. Birds just feel like magical animals.
Agreed cuz i love birds i got 6 budgies and a pidgeon the pidgeon was a baby and dies the second day in my house ;'( Make the number 5 mah male got stepped on
I think maybe get like a spall on the peachick, so the leg stays straight and has support from the small wood piece. Thats what i think of and i hope that peachick grows strong! Kind regards from the netherlands
I'm very happy they didn't let the baby handle, crawl toward, or touch the chicks. 16:13 the baby reaches toward the chick's face, and the chick is pulled away from the baby's hand. Very good
For the pea chick with the wonky leg, see how far you can get the leg to stretch out (without hurting the little guy too much) once you see how far it goes you can try to make a splint for it with some popsicle sticks and some tape or rubber bands, try to let it heal and correct itself a little bit ya know?. It may not be as straight as the other legs but it may help it walk around better.
The one and only company that wanted to make it right totally pulled through. I feel like the people should know the business name. That is excellent service! And you got all white peachicks. So cute!! Congrats.
The leg issue is a slipped tendon. I recently had a baby chick that hatched with the same issue. Unfortunately it’s unlikely that you could cure it, from what I’ve seen and read. But not all hope is lost. I’ve heard some good stories too! Sometimes if you give them yeast, vitamins, and other good things (for growth and development.) It’s said that some have grown out of it. But more importantly, they can live up to a year or so. Until their weight and growth is too much for their one leg to handle. But they can still live a happy life as like an indoor pet or just living by itself. I’ve seen people attach a sponge or cardboard by adjusting it’s height to match where the slipped tendon leg rests. Just so the chick can apply pressure to both legs and move around a bit easier.
You can fix slipped tendons but you must be delicate. Depending how long it’s been you can usually get the tendon back in place by straightening and maneuvering the leg into the correct position. If it’s been too long you will need to rehabilitate in different ways but ultimately it might be too late… but can be fixed if caught early
I once had a chick with a slipped tendon, but didn't discover it in time. Decided to keep it and hope for the best. Grew up to be the tamest rooster I've ever seen. Go around just fine with one leg but couldn't fight.
There is nothing more exciting than a successful hatch! Silkies are such good Mommas. Happy for you and interested in seeing their progress. Your children are so sweet and learning skills that are so important.
The odd air cell line you were seeing is a partially detached air cell. It's typically due to being jostled around during shipping. Fully detached air cells will look like bubbles floating around the egg before you even incubate them. I always candle all of my shipped eggs before incubating them because eggs with fully detached air cells will develop inside the egg and then drown while trying to hatch 😔 The eggs with partially detached air cells still have a good chance, they just have less room to develop.
I remember when you guys tried before and sadly they were normal peacocks..... Soo glad this worked out in the end..... Lov Ur content.. never stop....❤️❤️❤️
@@y3etas4urus I didn't mean anything bad .....just that from where I am from.. we can see a lot of the peacock variety they already have....so thats why I mentioned them as normal peacocks...
I just watched this video again for the second time and I am just really touched by the gentleness with what you handle all of your birds and how loving you are to the animals and your children❣️❣️♥️❣️❣️ I really wish you great success in saving all of these white peafowl chicks! They are so beautiful as adults and it would be quite a success story for you to Town if you get them to adulthood and safely living on your land. They truly are beautiful when they are adults. Your children were so sweet with them❣️ Still love the picture of the sun laying down with all of the baby peachicks laying on his belly… The smile on his face was priceless❣️❣️😊♥️♥️
What a beautiful family! Pure heart, and pure soul of compassion. I couldn't help but be brought back to my childhood days watching this amazing family! May this family lead others to follow sweet family morals.
It’s a really weird concept to me, getting bird eggs that can hatch through the mail. I always had the idea that if an egg spent more than an hour without the heat of brooding that the chick would die and never hatch
heck even some of the eggs that weren't sat on for a day still hatched in the incubator. They need heat but they can sometimes survive a moment or two without it.
Sometimes when you crack an egg open they have a bloody or fleshy dot in them. That's a fertilised egg you can use and the yoke is really the food, fuel for it to grow. Aye
Depends on the species. We raised many chickens/ducks and the hens spent far more than 1 hr off the eggs with little to no difference in the hatching rates. If the nest is properly constructed by the hen bird it will keep the eggs warm etc while the hen is feeding etc. I have even seen ducks having a dip in the dam and within literally minutes sit on the eggs. Seems they know when they need to lay on them and when they can get off and how long they can be away from them. Unless the drake or roosters were too old they averaged 90%+ hatchings. Below 90% mom and dad went looking for a new Drake/Rooster. And no, the old ones were not beheaded. They were put out to pasture in a seperate pen until nature took them from us.
Absolutely fascinating! What a wonderful way of life to raise a young family. I love seeing how into it the children are. And man! What a beautiful assortment of birds. I say species that I have never seen before. Great job little farmers!!
Thanks for not just doing, but teaching why you are doing certain things. It was lovely to see your wholesome family at the end. Thank you for sharing it with us.
All my life I have dreamed about doing what you guys are doing! I am both envious and thrilled to watch your loving, caring videos and your beautiful family!
The biggest problem with finding a really great seller is their business takes off, they make more money & everyone is happy. Well, except for their competition. Those guys that deceive, make only 1x sales, usually go under once word gets around. There's honestly nothing better in business than, integrity. Ain't it amazing? 😂❤
So happy for you. I'm glad one of the egg providers last year decided to be honourable. Can't wait to see them grow up! I can't believe how much Eli has grown the last 4 years...it was fun seeing the older image of him.
All so cute I wish I had tricks animals are really special to me and they are my friends I don't. That's why this video special and it will always be down in my heart❤ and thank you for letting me watch your videos you are so special and kind I love you will forever keep watching your ready hold on I love you🎉❤
I remember coming across your channel about a year back. I immediately got sucked into the hatching! But now, I just wanna say, you done good with the whole family. Your kids are growing up well and you and your wife are still smiling. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us ❤️
1:20 yeah I don't think sellers are going to tell you about all their other customers that are having problems. "Yeah, about half our customers are unhappy! Put that in a video about us!"
Wow! Finally white peachicks! So happy for you guys! When my parents used to raise peafoul they bred for mottled colours and they were always my favourite as a little kid. Maybe when these chicks are old enough you could try for some mottled mixes with Belle and Blue! Just did a bit of research to see if there was an 'official' name. Apparently the colouration is called Pied. Mottled still sounds better to me.
This is the first time I have actually been jealous of someone else’s life.❤ Love your videos, your family and your farm. Keep up the great content,thanks.
@Chelsea Monique Moralde I know, but whatever the boys do I hope they have a happy life. Also, sometimes farmers sell their livestock to gain more money (for themselves and their families). Farmers are the back bone of this country. Proud to be a member of the FFA.
Cool!! Bantams make the best mothers and they love to set! Hopefully you can incorporate your little pea chicks into your flock and get even more. I admire the way you get your kids into this - my dad did too and I think of it often!
Love your video! I grew up on a farm during the 1950's, and my dad put peacock eggs under one of our broody hens. One day I saw an angry little white mother hen chasing one of her full grown peacock "babies", who was in full plummage, across the side yard. They were free range, we didn't lose any to predators, not even when the mountain lion passed through the area one summer. The peacocks roosted on top of our henhouse at night and were better watchdogs than the dog.
I love your family. I also love how much you care for all these animals! I have a duck egg right now, and its hatching next week! Thank you for loving these animals!!
So happy for you guys ,this video made my morning, 4 years of wait finally payed off 🥳☀️can't wait to see them full grown, good luck and all of the best wishes ✌️🍀☀️🌻
Congratulations on your successful hatching of white peacocks. How exciting! They will be gorgeous. I have travelled the world and seen peacocks in many countries, but never a white one.
I just found your videos. I'm going through a tough time all alone, and your content brings me peace and allows me to feel the comforts of family without having one of my own.
Fertile eggs only start developing when incubated. They can stay fertile for 1-2 weeks without incubation, but your best chances are incubating them within the first week.
My son sent me your video. I loved it! The broody hens, all of the critters, your sweet family, wonderful. I wish I had figured out how to farm and have a family both. I think what you are doing is pretty awesome.
When he said "backup plan" I was betting on a Silkie 😂 My grandpa had two of them particularly for their broodiness. It's a pity they don't have much space under their bums, but they are so reliable 🙂 I love the momma hen gluck-gluck-gluck sounds. 🥰
That’s incredible service that they offered, though I am heartbroken for those poor little babies who didn’t get to have a full life. I hope you keep having luck with hatching these little ones, seeing them grow up and be able to live is so heart warming. I’m a chicken owner myself, so I love to see these happy (but rightfully broody) mamas hatch these adorable little ones that they can call their own. Also as a chicken owner, I can tell that you obviously treat your chickens with great care, because they aren’t skin and bones at all (just petite) and they all have a full body of beautiful soft feathers and very bright wattles and combs. Some people on here who raise chickens don’t treat them very well and let them live in dirty and poor housing conditions that are filthy and unclean, and some if not most are skinny or look like they’ve been severely picked on by fellow flock mates. But yours look cozy and content, and have a very clean place to live and they look oh so thankful for the nice shelter you have for them. So thank you for taking such great care of your chickens and for such an awesome and heartwarming vlog, this made my day. 🤗🥺🥰✨
I’ve hatched Peachicks out for about 3 years and the best way I found out was to put them under a muscovy and then with like 4 days or whenever your peahen lays more and you need to incubate them and switch them out. Muscovys are the best incubators lol
Hello looking great! I have experience with the leg issue the chick is having. Clean it with betadine then use the painters tape that doesn’t harm the bird and tape the back toe to the ankle so he will have to hold it correctly Also provide calcium to help strengthen the bones in the foot. Best of luck !
Yes!! That is incredible! You guys have worked so hard and we have waited so long. Congratulations 🎊 Not to be pushy 😁 but, the aviary has been on my mind, every episode since it was announced. I can't believe that I have been watching this channel for so long! It never gets old. --Jessica from Florida 🌞
Also, I'm having trouble figuring out which eggs I should leave to hatch out at my place, I have a new rooster growing up and I'm hoping to get some babies from him. Let me know how you guys know when you have fertile eggs.
If you see a big dark spot were the egg is then you have a chick see if you see any movement that means the chick is alive and look for the vein growth as well

Hi, Great video,...! Retired zoo Keeper here, 73, I've had ANIMALS all my life. Just a suggestion on the nests, of the surrogate mom's.

Like the babies. .just a gentle massage every morning does the tricks..
Thank you for putting that because in case that happens to one of our baby chickens whenever we hatch some I can tell my grandma that.
I love the fact that the parents are teaching their children to appreciate farming and raising animals.

What a beautiful upbringing for your kids… they’ll remember this moment for the rest of their lives.
Looks like you've got 3 boys . . . to help out on the farm!
So very happy this went well! How beautiful the new babies will be! Excited! Your garden looks incredible! Can't wait to see the sunflowers!
All my life I have dreamed about doing what you guys are doing! I am both envious and thrilled to watch your loving, caring videos and your beautiful family!
never too late ! go get yourself some animals :)
The biggest problem with finding a really great seller is their business takes off, they make more money & everyone is happy. Well, except for their competition. Those guys that deceive, make only 1x sales, usually go under once word gets around. There's honestly nothing better in business than, integrity. Ain't it amazing? 😂❤
So happy for you. I'm glad one of the egg providers last year decided to be honourable. Can't wait to see them grow up! I can't believe how much Eli has grown the last 4 years...it was fun seeing the older image of him.
I love seeing the boys so into taking care of the chicks. They hold them so tenderly
All so cute I wish I had tricks animals are really special to me and they are my friends I don't. That's why this video special and it will always be down in my heart❤ and thank you for letting me watch your videos you are so special and kind I love you will forever keep watching your ready hold on I love you🎉❤
Silkies are ALWAYS a solid choice for hens to raise eggs.
16:43 onward is a wonderful clip of your son with the peachicks. Keep it for him as a memory, it's really delightful.
I love this family I’ve been watching them since day one they have come so far and they seem so much happier with less stress on infrastructure
I remember coming across your channel about a year back. I immediately got sucked into the hatching! But now, I just wanna say, you done good with the whole family. Your kids are growing up well and you and your wife are still smiling. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us ❤️
Bless all of you, including the birdies. It’s so beautiful what you’re doing. Your children are being gifted such a special experience.
Seven peachicks, seven dwarves? 🤔 Easy naming there!!
I love this video. It’s so relaxing with beautiful music and broody hens and chicks. A wonderful slice of farm life!
I’m glad you got 7 chicks from the 9 eggs. I wish them all long, happy lives. 😊
Idk why this vid was recommended this, I know hardly anything about this kinda stuff but I sat and watched the whole thing and it was very enjoyable
Glad to hear it 😀
Same!
Same, I learned a lot.
1:20 yeah I don't think sellers are going to tell you about all their other customers that are having problems. "Yeah, about half our customers are unhappy! Put that in a video about us!"
It’s the pure joy and happiness in everyone and all the animals that does it for me. My heart
Wow! Finally white peachicks! So happy for you guys! When my parents used to raise peafoul they bred for mottled colours and they were always my favourite as a little kid. Maybe when these chicks are old enough you could try for some mottled mixes with Belle and Blue!
Just did a bit of research to see if there was an 'official' name. Apparently the colouration is called Pied. Mottled still sounds better to me.
This is the first time I have actually been jealous of someone else’s life.❤ Love your videos, your family and your farm. Keep up the great content,thanks.
The Peachicks are so cute and as well as his little boys! Those boys are going to be wonderful future farmers!
@Chelsea Monique Moralde I know, but whatever the boys do I hope they have a happy life. Also, sometimes farmers sell their livestock to gain more money (for themselves and their families). Farmers are the back bone of this country. Proud to be a member of the FFA.
I had peacocks probably 6 years ago. I miss having land for lots of animals. So happy for you guys
im usualy an asshole on the internet.
thank you for the video. it made my heart warm up.
Cool!! Bantams make the best mothers and they love to set! Hopefully you can incorporate your little pea chicks into your flock and get even more. I admire the way you get your kids into this - my dad did too and I think of it often!
Love your video! I grew up on a farm during the 1950's, and my dad put peacock eggs under one of our broody hens. One day I saw an angry little white mother hen chasing one of her full grown peacock "babies", who was in full plummage, across the side yard. They were free range, we didn't lose any to predators, not even when the mountain lion passed through the area one summer. The peacocks roosted on top of our henhouse at night and were better watchdogs than the dog.
Try to make it like go down because if it doesn’t go down, it might be broken 15:44
I love your family. I also love how much you care for all these animals! I have a duck egg right now, and its hatching next week! Thank you for loving these animals!!
Congratulations! So glad that you got that rectified. It's going to be amazing to see how they grow!
Love the chick bath😂😅❤😊🎉
So happy for you guys ,this video made my morning, 4 years of wait finally payed off 🥳☀️can't wait to see them full grown, good luck and all of the best wishes ✌️🍀☀️🌻
Congratulations on your successful hatching of white peacocks. How exciting! They will be gorgeous. I have travelled the world and seen peacocks in many countries, but never a white one.
I just found your videos. I'm going through a tough time all alone, and your content brings me peace and allows me to feel the comforts of family without having one of my own.
I’m sorry about your situation… glad it brings you a bit of joy
What a beautiful life these parent's are giving their children! Love seeing this! This gives me hope in humanity.💛
She could smell it, see it and feel it. It was no chicken egg to her, but the kind soul wanted to be a mum💝
That duckling felt betrayed @ 12:30
Love it.
And I love that you're also a follower of "incubate until there's no debate".
Congrats!
😊
All the hardwork and failures you guys been through is finally worthit
I always thought eggs had to stay warm from the get go, didn't realise eggs could travel around then be sat on,,,very interesting 👍
Fertile eggs only start developing when incubated. They can stay fertile for 1-2 weeks without incubation, but your best chances are incubating them within the first week.
@@asmrplushpaws THANK you so much, good to learn, after all my years I feel quite stupid 🤣🤣 really interesting. Many tks🥰
My son sent me your video. I loved it! The broody hens, all of the critters, your sweet family, wonderful. I wish I had figured out how to farm and have a family both. I think what you are doing is pretty awesome.
When he said "backup plan" I was betting on a Silkie 😂 My grandpa had two of them particularly for their broodiness. It's a pity they don't have much space under their bums, but they are so reliable 🙂
I love the momma hen gluck-gluck-gluck sounds. 🥰
I don’t know much about chickens but the silkies seem so pretty and sociable.
Mama Hens did an Awesome job !!!!!
Gosh do I LOVE your greenhouse. That's my dream! 🥰🥰🥰
Mine too
This made me cry happy tears and I'm so happy for you congratulations
Thank you 😊
Wow, can't wait to see them get big. They will be beautiful.
I agree, Terri!
Lucky kids who have awesome perents 😊
What a beautiful video and your children are gorgeous thank you for the look around your gorgeous farm 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That’s incredible service that they offered, though I am heartbroken for those poor little babies who didn’t get to have a full life. I hope you keep having luck with hatching these little ones, seeing them grow up and be able to live is so heart warming. I’m a chicken owner myself, so I love to see these happy (but rightfully broody) mamas hatch these adorable little ones that they can call their own. Also as a chicken owner, I can tell that you obviously treat your chickens with great care, because they aren’t skin and bones at all (just petite) and they all have a full body of beautiful soft feathers and very bright wattles and combs. Some people on here who raise chickens don’t treat them very well and let them live in dirty and poor housing conditions that are filthy and unclean, and some if not most are skinny or look like they’ve been severely picked on by fellow flock mates. But yours look cozy and content, and have a very clean place to live and they look oh so thankful for the nice shelter you have for them. So thank you for taking such great care of your chickens and for such an awesome and heartwarming vlog, this made my day. 🤗🥺🥰✨
15:11 what happened to one which had leg injury?
I never thought I would be so fascinated by farm life. Maybe it's because I'm not able to do what you do, physically. Living vicariously...
I’ve hatched Peachicks out for about 3 years and the best way I found out was to put them under a muscovy and then with like 4 days or whenever your peahen lays more and you need to incubate them and switch them out. Muscovys are the best incubators lol
Your kids are wonderful, such a good life for them; warms my heart.
The chicks and the kids are all adorable.
Seeing those little white pea chicks just had me smiling and tearing up 🥲🥰
Congrats !!
Thank you, Darlou
Hi world.. peep peep! I'm happy to meet my new home 🐥🐣 I'm gonna be
LOVED YEA! 💕
Love it. I'd like to get some foul for our farm but how do you keep coyotes at bay?
Hello looking great! I have experience with the leg issue the chick is having. Clean it with betadine then use the painters tape that doesn’t harm the bird and tape the back toe to the ankle so he will have to hold it correctly
Also provide calcium to help strengthen the bones in the foot. Best of luck !
Yes!! That is incredible! You guys have worked so hard and we have waited so long. Congratulations 🎊 Not to be pushy 😁 but, the aviary has been on my mind, every episode since it was announced. I can't believe that I have been watching this channel for so long! It never gets old. --Jessica from Florida 🌞
More on that soon!
Iiiii
Uuiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Man this video is sooo peaceful ❤️
Oh so happy you are having good luck with your peacocks. God bless you all!
You didn't trick them. They knew that's not chicken eggs but they helped you out for their own curiousity
I love how they don’t seem to care whose eggs they are 😊 oh eggs? I’ll hatch you ❤
Awesome!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m so happy for you guys. The hens did an amazing job.
Also, I'm having trouble figuring out which eggs I should leave to hatch out at my place, I have a new rooster growing up and I'm hoping to get some babies from him. Let me know how you guys know when you have fertile eggs.
If you see a big dark spot were the egg is then you have a chick see if you see any movement that means the chick is alive and look for the vein growth as well
A great day to candle is day 5, but just that first week you can weed out your clears and leave the good eggs.
