Wow So 😂Timely …as a new homesteader who jumped into this with both feet with my wife with full range totally different animal types at once this is one technique that’s not only effective but fast results Made our day Thank you Subscribed like a fast dial on the phone Ps we are one year in… 1Black Angus, 1Highland Bull, goat, ducks, rabbits, Pomeranian turkey poults, 49 meat birds 8 layers & 2 roosters So much to learn to be good custodians of our fathers creation Thank you for the video
Thank u. It's surely helps. We got 2 and there's one who comes at me everyday when I pull in the driveway. And I am the one who feeds them and he does it.
This makes sense : watch the behaviours of each animal, and you learn their issues and fears and likes. I have a friend who is a very successful sheep farmer : His words : Every day I don't see my sheep, one is nearer to sickness. So he watches, inspects, see as many of them as possible, every day, ensuring they are healthy, and pick up any issues, ready to nip such in the bud.
Do a gentle version of the Khabib "put-to-sleep". Chicken jiu-jitsu. Thanks for sharing this very calm and informative way to enable novices to handle their animals. Best wishes for you and yours. I'm your newest subscriber, for the moment.
My 10 Icelandic birds will be 8 weeks old tomorrow July the 4th 2024. It appears I have only 1 rooster as it already for the past 2 days praticing crowing. If so, lucky me. If aggression is discovered, your video is awesome! I will do as you have shown. Thank you so much for showing us newbies raising chickens on this method. Love it🙂
I've got Rhode Island Reds - know for their aggression. I have only had to make the present roo submit according to the shown style a very few times as he was growing up. But every day when the chickens are coming out of the house door I still snatch him up and make him let me hold and pet him. After a few times he doesn't bother at all, and he avoids me completely the rest of the time. Excellet video.
Roosters are protectors of the flock and puberty is a very confusing time to them when they act on instinct more than reasoning. When we choose dominance in response to their feeling threatened, we must reassert it every week or two since we have declared ourself to be a threat. I used this method for my first couple years with chickens until I realized there is a much better way. Understanding they are learning how to be a protector while dealing with surging hormones, building a relationship built on trust and respect provides a long term solution and makes everyone safer. I currently have ten roosters and only 24 hens and I don't fear turning my back on any of them nor do I fear them attacking strangers visiting. They have learned through experience that humans are their allies and not a threat or a rival.
Great video,..! THANKS. I am a retired zoo keeper, have HAD POULTRY, etc. Most of my life.... in fact your flock looks like mine...lol ALL The different kinds... I'm 74, aggressive ROOSTERS were never a big deal for me. Guess cause, I always moved the same, IDKNOW.? UNTIL,... 7, NOW 8 YEAR GRANDSON... LOL. He's getting better but, this kid could turn a CAPON... Into Attila the Hun...Lol. He Would TEASE, poke, run up to them, retreat etc. Resulting in a few very aggressive birds...Now Thank the LORD, He has his own flock, and respects HIS BIRDS. IVE heard of your method, many years ago,... knew it works, but never had to use it.... the aggressive clocks, COCKERALS were given away....next time I have, or see any aggression, I'll use this method.... it makes complete sense. All the BEST to you, Your family. Ron, from the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York.
Wow, thank you so much. I'm glad our video helped you or at least reminded you. I think its great for little kids to grow up around different animals, like your grandson, he learned to respect and appreciate them. I think that's important because that respect for animals start to carry over to anything or anyone.
Wow
So 😂Timely

Wow, that's good to know

Thank you, lol yeah Rhode Island Reds can be little A holes if you let them.

Thank you! I will definitely employ this method!! Starting tomorrow!
