Patara, you are so right! Some breeds of hens tend to be more broody than others. And I just love it when I have "new life" on the farm and baby chicks are one of the best.

Hi Patara. Christine from Australia here. I had 2 broody chooks. A gold kaced Wyandotte and a Buff Orpington. No rooster. My friend gave me fertile eggs. Great. 6 eggs each. after going through the eggs and finding none were viable. When they had been sitting the 3 wks or so I bought 5 day old chicks and put 3 under one heb and 2 under the other. the Wyandotte ended up stealing the buffs chicks too. NOW however I have 5 chicks being looked after by 1 Wyandotte, 1 buff orpington and 1 rhode island red bantam. they all make the noises to look at food. they all sit together to sleep with the babies. they all hang around each other. I think it's just gorgeous.
30-40's thats t-shirt weather for us up north lol. nice vid
MrsRedHoney 1 We would dress like we are in Siberia here in Central Florida. :)
Loved how you told your dog, "My chickens." I always to that when introducing new chickens to my dog.
Hi patara, sorry another Aussie here, I have my tiger chookin suffering diarrhoea, she is sick, I have her in my ensuite with the fan on her, terribly hot here, everything closed till Monday, do you know what can I give her to help her, I love all ten of my girls...
You literally answered every question I had. I got my first chickens (silkies) and my hen had 3 chicks 2-10-20 and two died and I brought one in. And put him in a brooder and got him/her some friends Cochins and barred rocks and they’re all doing fine
my unicorn has raised 16700000000 chicks lol
At minute thirteen... they've entered that awkward stage!
I believe you do what you need to do to protect your animals. Good for you. Experience is the best teacher!! Thanks for sharing. Peace and blessings.
I love all of your videos and this one is no exception. I have learned a lot from your videos and I have sub'ed to you channel. Helps me with ideas on my own videos. Thanks
Between the view on your front porch and new chicks I don't see how you get anything else done. They are all so adorable. Is Buttercup mothering the chicks in the black tote? I hope this question comes out right. Are there hens that will just mother are another hens chicks? So when a Silkie broody mama hatches them you could give them to another hen to raise. Thanks for the great video Patara.
My best combo broody and mama hens have been Black Australorp and Cochins
I was wondering if you immunize your baby silkies against Mereks disease or any other diseases. I was going to purchase a dozen one day old Bantams including silkies but I had to cancel the order and get larger, hardier chicks that will be immunized. Most places do not immunize these little chicks (any bantams including silkies) I couldn't take a chance because I heard that this disease can wipe out the entire flock. I just want to know how you stand on the subject of immunizing chicks. Thanks
aww great video!!
Do you still ave thst grey silky chick in the video? I would love if you could make a video of your most faviroute chickens(and what thst grey one would have grown up to be if you still have it)
great video my Thanksgiving weekend incubator hatch babies are setting big also. my broody cuckoo miran sat on them until last few days then in the incubator as my nest boxes are raised. one is a black sex link mama x jersey giant papa , the others are silkie one looks to be full blood pom pom tail and all the other two have the silkie feet/toes all black but have the pincheon top poof and mille du flur poofy cheeks ( hope I spelled that right ..) and normal tails but fluffy silkie bodies with hard feather wings they were my mystery eggs. but are cute as heck lol
That's right, no heat source in your coop. It isn't needed so it's not worth the risk. If I don't need one in Northern Saskatchewan in Canada, with -40+ winters, you don't need one.
I am planning on getting chickens in the spring. I haven't done this since I was a kid. The silkies are so cute. Would it be a bad idea to get them, since they tend to go broody if I don't plan on increasing the flock? I only have a small space and do not think that I should have any more then 2 or 3.Thanks for any help.
I have a few questions! I'm new at raising chickens! I do not have a rooster! I bought my baby girls 1 year ago!
Due to the county laws I am only allowed to have 5 chickens which makes no sense cause you can only buy them in a six pack in our area! Ha!
any how, was wondering if you do the wood ash bath in the winter time and would love to see a video if you have some time to show me your way of doing it!
Oh my goodness Cuteness overload. Thank you for this video. Hugs
Hi Patara I had a hen that went broody, it was her first time she hatched 1 egg and was a really good momma. I kept them in the coop but in there own area, I put a igloo dog house in there , they were very happy. I opened the pen up when the chick was about 11 weeks, momma started going out again but baby stayed behind to scared to go with momma, baby is now 17 weeks and she still stays in behind the dog house, I bring her out to her own yard everyday and she is in the coop at night but doesn't roost with the rest and momma has nothing to do with her anymore. What can I do to help her get with the others,I would hate if they all ganged up on her and hurt her. Baby's name is buttercup also 🐣🐥
and how many chicken eggs would you use in your duck egg cornbread? I'm guessing 3!
Awesome job great versatility by using the best chicken for the purpose and flexibility for doing what is needed for those cute little chick 🐥 God is giving you a special gift for Animal God bless
You could bring the Silkie inside too, and keep her with her hatchlings, let her raise them, she is small enough, I don't think it'll be more trouble than only with the chicks.
Honey have you heard from Misty Prepper at all? Gosh I miss her. I hope all is well with her and the family.
I have a question and its how can u make a hen broody plz help me !!! :)
I would think that might be Chicken Heaven not Hog Heaven. lol

the gray one is so cute.i am staying on a homestead that life is for the fittest. but there is so much death. it make me and my husband not want to ever be homesteaders.
How are you able to pet those hens? Do you just handle them often in general?
They are so cute! LOVE Butterscotch! Thanks for sharing.
You have to follow your gut, it makes perfect sense to me. I love those little baby chicks, they are too cute :)
Hi patara could u do a video of black copper Marans plz
Just how many chickens do you have at any one time?
So cute, you are great with chickens.
First!!! Love your videos so much!
those chicks need to join the circus lol
the new blue silkie is adorable but they are all so precious :)
I have a question-does what you say apply to Southern California?
What part, ma'am?
It never gets old having chicks even in the winter! I have had a lot of broody mommas this winter. When I let my broody mommas raise their babies, I bring them in the basement where it is much warmer than outside temperatures. If you give babies to a broody Silkie it takes several days for them to get out of that deep trance.
Which type of chicken should I get in Virginia?
Angela conigliaro hi.. we live in Ohio and I guess our weather is a little colder Ethan yours. We have had an]bout every kind of chickens and they all have done well. I love our Easter eggers because they lay colored eggs, but we also love our Buff Orpingtons, and all the others...hope that helps.. I can try and answer questions but of course we know Patara is the best. She has helped me soooo much
Do you mind if I ask you some questions
Mrs. P?
Do your Ester Eggers/Americanas go broody?
Are they good mothers?
I have 3 of those hens and I would love to know if they go broody.
Also, for the past five or so years we've tried to raise Guineas, but all of them end up with straddle legs and they die. We don't put them in a slippery area, so we don't know what's going on. Do you have any suggestions?
~Brian🐑
Hey, there! I have had EE's go broody and were fantastic broodies AND momma's. One of my best actually. S-yes. They can. I don't raise guineas's but would suggest a different breeder!
Appalachia's Homestead Ok thanks so much for tips and responding hope you have a blessed week!!
Aww, your house is just a buzz with excitement..babies everywhere..love rally!! Love the babies!,,
I was wondering why you had silkies. Do you use/sell the eggs?
I thought you put buttercup and the older chicks (not the 4 wk old silkies) outside? Or is she a house chicken?
They are adorable
Awww. That is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt lol. I have one silkie, she is gray and will hopefully start laying next month. Thank you for sharing this, I learn so much from you. Beautiful babies. Blessings and Hugs from Texas
I agree. I love to see that determination from those little Silkie mamas. I joke with my husband that our Silkie could hatch a chick out of a rock😅😅
are silkies hardy birds? and are eggs small large
Diana H
They lay small eggs, and I don't know the answer to if they're hardy or not lol sorry
Peee
Bountiful blessings to you Patara! Meeting you is still on MJ's bucket list!
