Bamboo is going to lose her fluffyness soon. NOOOO!
Say. Wasn’t Bamboo in an insurance commercial...?
Oh dear
@@willgaukler8979 yes, and she was attacking her reflection 😂

I really liked how you approached your son after the rooster encounter. You were calm and redirected to the fact he needs someone to be with him anytime he's in the pen. I feel like, you comforted him, yet reminded him that it had happened before so things had to change so hopefully it won't happen again. Such a good daddy!😎
+Cathi FAM Journey - thank you very much ❤️
Hi!
Thats what roosters do. Guard the flock. When i was that size we had a rooster that always attacked me. One day i saw my grandfather butcher it. I cried and cried. ;)
I now how you feel man
Its called stockholm syndrome for sympathising for a nasty prick. Grandfather was smarter than you!
+glenncountry - some roosters do more than others... we've had roosters that ignored us, too. We can't have a rooster that attacks our boys.
@@whitehouseonthehill I am not a homesteader. But I am a descendant of them. I would not hesitate to get rid of a rooster to protect my family. My gramma was almost killed by sows when she was a young girl. According to her nephew (who was 16 years older) she was nothing but mud and blood when he threw her over the fence. He thought he was carrying her dead body back to her mom (his grandma) when she twitched. They cleaned her up, as best as they could. With kerosene. Can you imagine!? Her mom, my great grandma, took a cleaning job at University of Iowa Hospital, to help pay for her care. This was about 1920. I enjoy your story.
a pot of chicken & dumplins with that rooster!
You haven't lived if you have not been attacked by a farm animal !
I dont even live on a farm and i get attacked by random rusters that rome the streets ;-;
Rooster
I mean, a goose tried to threaten to attack me. Does that count?
@@AdieuAlle yes
i had a rooster try to attack but outran it
Awe, have to respect the animals boundaries sometimes the best lessons are the hard one! Glad both boys are ok!
Very true. Too often we say an animal is mean when he is just doing what he is supposed to do.
Very well said
Wanda Kay
Attacking a child nowhere near the chickens is that roosters job??? No, it is NOT. He should have been killed on the spot.
Try putting more value on humans especially children than a damned bad tempered bird.
@@barbaravick5634 not sure if you're baiting or absolutely brain dead.
@@barbaravick5634 exactly what i was about to say. Respect THEIR spaces? These aren't wild animals. These are animals that are specifically bred to behave a certain way to meet the needs of humans and have a demeanor that is calm and trusting to make the husbandry somewhat easy. You cant care for animals very easily if theyre attacking you and you sure as hell shouldnt have to stress about your children being able to be around chickens. This rooster was not protecting anything. He was showing his dominance. You can hear him crow right after as to celebrate his victory and to let others know hes top etc and thats dangerous. I understand that you need to be careful with little ones and children around larger farm animals like goats and cows etc. But birds? No way. My children want to work too and what better way for them to learn than with chickens? I honestly don't get how his reaction was so "what did you do" as if his son was at fault somehow. Obviously he wasnt saying that. But
Yeah this happened to me when I was a kid. We had 30-40 chickens and 5 Roosters, my mom asked me to go into the chicken coup and get some eggs for breakfast. I went to their nest area, and started collecting eggs. Apparently one of the hens was not happy and start making a bunch of noise and flapping her wings. Two of the Roosters jumped and started flogging with their spurs/talons. My dad heard what was going on, ran outside but I had gotten nailed 10+ times since I was locked in the coup and couldn’t get out with them flying around my head. They had full grow spurs that had never been trimmed as well, after this they were my dad made sure of it. I was probably 7 or 8 when this happened. I’m 32 now, but it was definitely terrifying to experience as a kid.
@Maynard Runkle coup is also another spelling of coop.
I had almost the same happen with my grandpas chickens
That happens to me soooo much
My mom had chickens and a rooster named mr roo and my mom got scratched so many times by mr roo that they killed him because he hurt my mom and my aunt to many times they had him for 1 year than they dissed that it was the best to kill him because he was way to mean to keep so they killed him
Too many roosters. Should be 1/10 can go to 1/15. .
He atacc
He protecc
But most importantly
He p e c c

So important! 🤣🐔❤️
7:52 the moment you came for.
I’d recommend watching the video first it’s pretty good
Thanks .. !
Yes I really appreciateded this
I’m glad your teaching your children to learn the boundaries of animals and respect them. Some lessons are better learned the hard way. ❤️
@Nugget G i agree. Roosters, no matter what breed, will go for the attack when it felt threatened and to protect its territory. It is their instinct.
We had a rooster when I was a kid.. He was an really evil rooster, attacking without a reason.. But we kept him. We always had a shovel ready in case he attacks.. But even though he was evil and always attacked us, thats still the part of my childhood I don't wanna miss, we still laugh when talking about it..
P. S. You are doing a great parenting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My roosters chase my siblings all the time XD
+Jeremiah Hudson - around a year old, ours start becoming a problem
My brother and our old rooster used to play a game we called "chicken" my brother would go on the swing and (my old rooster was only mean if someone touched his swings idk y he was just protective of them XD) then my brother would swing back and the rooster would chase him, when he came forward the rooster would run away ( the roosters name was Sherman) then when my brother swung back abain Sherman would chase him back and so on, they would do this for hours no joke XD
Shoot i was 4 hours late.😔
you trained him to do so .
White House on the Hill I have dogs and barn cats that might attack chickens. What can I do to protect the chickens and make sure my cats don’t get them? My dogs have cages we put them in, but we let them run around. The cats just roam around, we feed them cat food, but they still do kill small snakes and squirrels. I’m just concerned about when I get chickens that they might get attacked.
I’m glad u don’t kill ur roosters just because you don’t want them
well, if nobody takes them they are dinner lol
he does sell them well, so they are killed
Davis’ Exotics
Idiot. That nasty bird should have been dinner that night.
xIcewalke x that’s really cool! :D
bro if you have too many roosters you have to eat some that's what they're raising them for
Such a strong lil' man Uriah xx! Look how big bamboo has gotten. Won't be long before you have an emu soldier defending his brothers and new baby. Love and many blessings to you all WHOTH.
Haha yea soon the emu will be so tall and will guard him and his brothers

Bet that dog in your avatar will bite you. Ignorant dog owner.
You are such a great dad. I have three boys myself, so when I heard him scream, my heart went straight to my boys.
I always love how wholesome your videos are. You always try to teach a lesson, not just to vlog your day. Love it, keep it up!
+cheese lord - thank you very much!
*"The Rooster".*
*Coming to theaters near you in the summer of 2019.*
Pidge 69 thank you, you just made my day
It is now delayed for 2021
I had the same problem with my son and a rooster, I taught my son to always bring a stick with him and defend himself when ever the rooster came anywhere near him and soon the rooster learned not to go anywhere near my son, interestingly, that rooster was not interested in girls, left my wife and daughter alone amazing!!!
ethnicity 😆
I seriously think they can sense gender.
@@lunaflamed dont turn ur bk .
This is a good way to train them
My rooster was so cute when he was a baby. He would fall asleep in my arms and he had the cutest crow. But he got mean as he got older and started biting so we had to give him away. Miss you, Noodle!
Maybe the rooster used to watch violent movies when you were away
Oml I almost teared up at Uriah’s scream D:
Glad he’s okay though!
Just felt my mama hen instinct go nuts for a sec.
Roosters are crazy when protective.
I’ve seen how aggressive they become and the damage they’ve done.
Bless his heart! My sister was gathering eggs we thought our rooster was outside the coop with the hens. He came up behind her and scratched her all the way down her back. She had some deep scratches. Luckily she healed hardly any scars. She still loves chickens and roosters. We separated him from the girls so they saw each other only in the pen. My mom was so upset she swore we were going to have rooster for dinner that night lol dad came home and talked to her. She didn’t find out till the next day that it was me and my sister that hid the axe. She thanked us and told us never think about doing things when you are angry! Go calm down talk to someone then make a decision! They were so smart! Love your show so much!
I love how I literally stop everything I’m doing to watch you and your family on your life. Every episode draws me in more and more !
we had 4 roosters and we had to butcher 2 because one of them attacked me and my mother while doing farm chores and the other didn't get along with the others so now we're left with two roosters one bantam and one rooster that has talons that are about 2 and a half inches which doesn't seem like a lot but they are the pointiest and thickest things I have ever seen in my life. Thankfully, he is the sweetest rooster that we have ever had. Teach em' while they're young. People always think roosters are the meanest things ever.
Glad your son was ok. Can't believe bamboo is getting bigger!
I’m so glad your little boy is ok. When my son was in grade school one of his friends he met had been attacked by a rooster when he was little. He had a big scar on his face that never went away. So yes it’s really important to respect animals and understand they can sometimes be unpredictable. Even something as small as a rooster could inflict a serious wound.
That being said, your boys are lucky to grow up on a farm and you aren’t putting them in a bubble. Being outdoors, running playing, jumping and exploring animals is such a unique opportunity in today’s society. More children need to have this experience💕
I love the way dad dropped everything and went to his child I like that still going dad
I have been following your videos since Bamboo arrived. In this world of many broken homes, it has been such a pleasure to see how involving family as a whole, patience and love strengthens the family bond.
I remember these days!!! Ugh I used to always get chased by roosters when I would play in the chicken coop! They will get you bad sometimes.
We live in the city but my daughter was visiting with her grandmother who had a few chickens, she was about 8yrs old at the time. Unbeknown to us she (the grandma) had a rooster it attacked our daughter. She was so frightened she wouldn't go to her house for months. She is 40 yrs old now and the only chicken she likes are the ones she has on her plate. She never got over her fear, good thing she lives in the city far from chickens.
When I was little a rooster jumped on my back. I was traumatized 😂
It chased my dad and made him scream like a girl. My mom shot it 😬
That is so funny,. Dad screamed like a girl and MOM shot the rooster. Sounds like something my mother would have done. Shoot a rooster, not scream like a girl.
LunaMoona 0129 😂🤣
Ur mom wears the pants in this relationship
😭
LunaMoona 0129
Good for her!!!
Becky I will pray that labor and delivery is safe quick and easy. I also pray that it is FILLED WITH JOY!!!God bless you and your family
I remember this happening to me.He attacked me , scratched my back when I was about 9 or 10..he ended up as food😐😐.I became a vegetarian that day
Awww, poor guy. You are a great dad!
We used to have a rooster named Boo because when you're facing him he freezes, but if you turn your back he'll chase you!
I was attacked by a rooster when I was little. My grandmother's neighbor had a farm and even I visited them every summer we would go there. I don't remember much of the situation, but my grandmother became a roaring lioness and ran to help me, throwing her shoe at it. I understand it had attacked people many times before as well. The next summer they didn't have that rooster anymore...
Farmhouse teas are so good, I’ve already placed a second order! I don’t know them, but their teas are the best I’ve ever had. Thank you for sharing!
I use to follow the old farmer around doing his chores for all the animals on the farm and he used to carry grain shovel from pen to pen. He was using as a shield when an animal attacks and it worked as mother pig charged at him, he put the shovel in front of her and it stopped the old farmer from being hurt and no harm came to mother pig. I carried a shovel whenever I got in any of the pens after seeing how well it protected the old farmer...
We've had aggressive roosters chase our little ones too. It can be scary. He's a brave little guy ❤
We had a rooster named Buba growing up. He was mean at times but as long as his space was respected and he was free to Rooster he was fine.
Poor baby❤ I hope he is okay, love from Greenland🇬🇱❤
+Nivi Bidstrup - not harmed at all, just scared for a moment
Good to hear he is okay, wish you all a good day❤
Kan du dansk? idk why asked that
@@okaylars3248 ja det kan jeg
I love how you all take part in the daily chores and dealing with the birds and then wrap up your day TOGETHER as a family ...family is so important but gets lost these days with people living their own lives (which isn’t bad). It’s the fact that you all take interest and actually enjoy doing everything as a family.. that’s what I want to do with me and my daughter
Oh yes! I’ve been waiting all day for you guys to post! 🤗❤️❤️😊
+Lovely Little Chicken - we're here!
What sweet little boys you have. I really mean that! They are super sweet, smart and adorable 😊💗
I love the passion you have for your birds. All of them Haha.

I accidentally came across your channel but I’m happy I clicked that button, you are such cool compassionate person when I watch your videos I automatically cool down and don’t stress about life, your voice smooths me down, your have a beautiful family and you both are such gr8 parents
I’m happy to be here and will cont watching your videos (specially when I’m angry with life) 🙃
Sending love all the way from the Philippines!
Sweetest little face Uriah has. Still a little baby face. I love the Midwest. I lived in Lawrence went to nursing school and worked in Overland Park and Olathe. My fav time is in the fall. The Midwest has many wonderful people.
I’m glad, I have mail that is coming, they said it will arrive around Saturday I’m excited 😜
We once hatched out 3 bantams but ended up with 2 cockrels and 1 hen but the boys were the friendliest most curious, kind little chickens. We even trained one to come to us. Shame we couldn't keep them, I miss those boys so much ❤
You are a awesome dad
Adorable little boys. Adorable family!
Back when I was in Mexico my great grandma would have tons of chickens and I was attacked by a rooster as well! She told me once you realize how much bigger you are than them, you wouldn’t be scared any more. I still had to be careful and respect the roosters boundaries though!
Aw Uriah, he was being so strong! He didn’t even make a huge fit or scene! Tell him he’s very brave and that he is one of the best farmers out there! 🐓
Thanks for the upload and sharing it. I enjoy watching you and your family grow together with the homestead. I will continue to watch. 😘💕
You can can put caps on them, and be sure to occasionally pull off the outer keratin shell. You can watch on TH-cam or online. It doesn’t hurt and helps them.
Some are just mean. My aunt had one that would attack anyone his name was bruce lee evil bird
You guys are the most amazing parents! I adore watching your family ❤️
+Sugarskully 21 - thank you!
Board games are wonderful family time. Sweet video! 😊
+Jerry Gann - thanks, Jerry!
OMgosh!..Precious boy he is. Glad he is ok. Precious family you all are. Stay safe and warm.🦃🐓🐈
ooh ooh
I’m so glad he’s ok. I remember when my now 9 year old was three. We were out in a pasture with sheep and one of the roosters went after her on the other side of the fence. I couldn’t get it her fast enough.
+Cathleen Caratan Moses - I was in shock... couldn't get over the fence quick enough. Luckily he ran away this time, last time he just sat there and let the rooster peck his face.
White House on the Hill It is scary. I’m glad you shared it though. Some people don’t realize that for as domesticated as many farm animals are, there is still a wild and unpredictable side to them all, especially the males. I chuckle a bit at Doug and his ram but I know of people who have been seriously injured and even killed by a ram.
You two are such good parents 👌
That rooster "flogged" your son. Happen to me on the farm plenty of times. Your a great dad!
“So the.. fencing holds up better”
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :(“
No but seriously i’m so sorry for him 🥺❤️
Such a good dad
I buy purebreds and hatch mix breeds. I’ll never keep a bird with a bad attitude. Have four kids myself and I just won’t put up with it. :)
Roast them.
جكتم
I just eat them
I love how you are so honest! And truly show the reality on a farm!
I'm so excited for your new baby
OMG is he okay, I have a gamecock rooster with inch and a half long spurs so I know how you feel
That's why I cut my cock spurs..... I know a guy that got his eye knock out from a game fowl
Madison Hall been ther bro i have 11 kelso gamecocks and they are so mean but last week me and my brother cut their spurs
Ok actually didn't know you could cut them will have to my other actually got out today and he almost got killed by my gamecock through chicken wire.
I remember I had a gamecock and I went to go feed him and I got fucked up with scratches on my face 🤣
My sister got attached by our rooster. He almost got her eye. He was a really tastey meal that night!
Edit: Attacked by our rooster.
My grandmas dad had a farm and he had a turkey that would attack them and take chunks out of them if he could. There were also roosters that attacked them too.
Poor guy, my mom's rooster would chase me too. He ran straight at me once and was punted a couple feet.
I love that game! I've never heard of it till now but I think it is so sweet! It teaches doing things as a family/team and contributing for a success for everyone in the long run. That's beautiful! I love it!
Hey looks like some good tea 😉 glad the rooster didn't get him too bad.
+St. Fiacre's Farm - it was tasty!
We recently mixed our scratch in with our girls feed because we needed to free up a storage bin for the chick feed lol. They are loving it and I always toss a few handfuls out so they have to forage for it.
A flogging rooster ends up in the cook pot in our house. xD
I heard this somewhere online. You won't always be able to protect your children, so your goal should be to teach your children to be strong rather than reliant.
YAY A NEW VIDEO
With that game bird feed we noticed that our chicken wouldn’t lay eggs, they just stopped. Now we feed our chicken a mix of chicken feed and horse feed they love it and stepped up egg production
When the roosters attack, catch him and hold him upside down from the legs so he knows you're the boss
easier said then done .
That’s what we always did 😂
I got a better idea!
Beat the crap out of him (not hard enough to kill him just hard enough to give ptsd) then he will never want to attack again
Idk anything about farming but id beat up a bird for my kid if i had one
@@CloutmasterPhluphyy I like that.... "beat the crap out of him"
Guys whoever sees this don't do that never hold a chicken upside down they could choke to death on feed from their crop a much better idea is to grab them and hold them give them feed and love if that doesn't work for them to respect you when they chase after you run up stomping at them with your arms up to be big and scary and grab them out of the air
When I was a kid we tried all sorts of breeds. Our nicest roosters were Brahmas. The females were kind of flighty but the roosters would sit on your lap and follow you around. They might seem more intimidating because of their size but they were sort of like newfoundlands. Gentle giants.
I had a yellow orpington roster when I was a kid. The kindest bird ever. I used to carry him around.
That's what both our rooster did to my brother last month and this month he is 2 1/2 and other were chasing my 11 year old brother
God bless you and your entire family!
Love this
I remember being chased by 3 turkeys when I was young. Hahaha now it's always a hilarious story to tell every thanksgiving.
Omg! I was loving the turkeys gobbling in the video, until I realised it was actually mine making all the noise. My neighbours dog was in the yard chasing them!!
+Tahlie L - that's funny!
I really miss my life at my parent's ranch where we used to have all sorts of animals running around the property. One day I might get back to my roots.
Love this so much! Great content!!
+Havanna Duiker - thank you very much!
I had a lot of this growing up and remember our Rooster, Richard, who was very territorial. We used to call him our guard dog due to the fact that he wouldn’t let anyone past our property line unless he knew you. The downside to this was when my little sister was born and finally got big enough to explore, he did what he was known to do and my father got him euthanized.
This video really puts in perspective the challenges of having defensive roosters with small kids. It’s not the rooster’s fault and it really isn’t the the child’s fault either, but things could happen that could be better avoided if you’re there to supervise. By having this perspective, it keeps your child safe and saves a rooster’s life ❤️
My roosters are going this weekend lol! Mostly they are so loud!
You guys are living my dream! I'm trying to homestead on 6 acres I bought a few years ago. Raising chickens and gardening. Small scale. I'm retired now so I can devote more time to it, mainly more chickens. I too, have lots of mean rooster stories and have had to shoot one. Our current guy is pretty calm towards humans. Anyway, glad to see your son wasn't hurt too bad. Good luck and God bless your family and farm!
That Rooster would be on the dinner table the same evening if it attacked my child.
I'm sure that heartless killing machine is being cooked and roasted in Hell. Don't worry.
Glad he is ok! That is the worst part about having roosters around. Emu is growing so fast! How old will she be when she is 6 feet tall?
I was talking to my dad and he said yes to the hen and rooster
WHITE HOUSE ON THE HILL! HER DAD SAID YES TO THE SILKIE ROOSTER! 😊
@@acgray1972 And hen (;
Are you Sadie from the letters?
HIP HIP HURRRAAAAYY!!!!
Upload us all some videos!!
So glad Uriah is ok. When he screamed I was scared for him. He's a tough little man.
White House should make merch that says I love chickens lol
We used to always have a lightweight broomstick when kids and around the roosters. Good way for kids to be able to defend themselves. Doesn't injure or hurt the roosters, but reminds them who runs the show
Hello! Your videos are great! They make my day! Keep up the good work! Also have you ever thought of getting a guinea pig? There super cute and it would be cool if you had one!
They seem to keep animals that mostly serve a purpose. Im not sure youd be interested in watching them raise meat cavies haha
Family friends that have roosters have a little girl, one rooster was aggressive towards her and so they grabbed them by the feet gently and held them upside down and showed them to the hens, it did not hurt either of the roosters but showed them that humans were “the boss” and whatnot they are now not aggressive at all, it may not work for every rooster but it worked for the two they did it with
the best place for a mean rooster is in a pot of chicken and dumplings.
Not sure what kind of chicken and dumplings you've had, but rooster meat is nasty!
ORY DOE rooster meat is the chicken you buy at stores, they dont butcher the hens bc they lay eggs
Mr. Hamms that is not rooster meat and egg layers are different than meat birds.
ORY DOE do some research
