Hey... Great video 👍🏼
Do I need a rooster to hatch eggs naturally?
I have 3 hens which lay eggs everyday but no rooster as I live in an urban area. Is rooster required to (make eggs fertile) hatch eggs
@@Britishpakistani2023 you don't need a rooster for your hens to go broody but you do need a rooster so the eggs get fertilized
@@StackFactsVideos thanks
Feeding chicks with dry food is terrible! You have no clue what it is madden from! First food got to be 100% natural! Boiled an egg and crash it, mixing with millet and that would be a grate food for chicks plus add some send soil from your field to start digesting process. Store food have a lot of crap in it, I would give that them if I sell them to my enemies.
i guess I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online?
I had a pet chicken. She would answer my whistle when I would call my cat home. The cat and chicken would run side by side as they ran to greet me. Such a fond memory to this day. 😊

What a beautiful relaxing and educational video. I'm glad there wasn't any background music
+zebredpooding Thank you... If I'm narrating a video, I rarely add music... I'm glad you appreciated it :)
Beautiful an relaxing
The music in some of these videos do get annoying, I like the background nature sounds, I am hearing impaired and can not hear them naturally so videos like this going through my powerful stereo reminds me of a time I could hear
yes. fcuking backsound music just for stupid people
Yes so refreshing to not hear distasteful background music
Dear Frederick, People who make noisy music-jarr-filled videos with a constantly shaking, swimming, zooming in and out camera and who never stop talking should learn from this wonderful video you have made. There is music in natural silence and peace which should not be killed off by man-made music or constant prattle. And thank you for putting your camera on a tripod. One of the curses of modern video making is hand-held cameras that zoom in and out of your face all the time. Please extend your video making to other subjects, although poultry is certainly my favorite. A good way to start one's day is not to watch the news, but with a video such as yours, or if you can afford it, to stroll through and contemplate nature. Thanks and good luck with more video-making.
+Anzay Warid Wow Anzay, that is one of the best comments I have ever received. You have made my day. Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to comment on my video. I wish you well in all you do. Fred
I agree 100% I turn off all videos that have both music and speeded up footage that is so annoying as you never find any commercially made show or movie with speeded up frames
Agreed, I just started my backyard flock last weekend with 4 hybrid layers. I've been researching backyard birds for about a year. I had to wait for local bylaws to change to allow the animals into suburbia. In retrospect, the wait has been valuable to allow for more planning and preparation.
I found generally youtube videos the least effective source after books and websites. It seems that a lot of homesteader channels are about promoting the producers of the videos first, and if you're lucky there might be some knowledge shared. That's not a dig at other channels. Everyone needs to make money and we watch videos for different reasons. Yours along with a few others have been helpful. Thanks.
Anzay Warid - I agree! Oh but he DOES have other subjects. Check them out!
I love how gentle and patient you are with them. The video is so soothing and informative, and of course the chicks are absolutely adorable! I could watch this all day.
You seem to really care for your poultry. Thank you for sharing this demonstrative video.
I do indeed :) and thank you for sharing that you enjoyed it! :)
Wow Frederick, I agree with Anzay Warid about your video. No goofy, annoying music and zooming in and out and making me dizzy. Your voice made this sound and look like a PBS documentary. One of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam, and I watch a LOT of TH-cam! Thank you sir for a well done video!
Wow! Thank you so much, what a super nice comment! :)
Love how the Mom hens are talking to the chicks. Adorable!! 🐤🐥
Not just a practical video but beautifully put together. Thanks.
Fred, your youtube vocals have improved dramatically since 2014
This is a great informational video Fred. I am starting to raise my own chicks from my flock so this video was great.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful chickens and roosters
We had our babies hatch this afternoon; so pleased - 2 of them out of 4 - the other 2 i am expecting tomorrow as they were put to her a day later belonging to the others; i found this out from you. We did move her to a broody pen inside the main pen because the others would not lay in the other box and were disturbing her! She took to it all well. Another thing i learned from this was to use shavings under her and get rid of the straw from the nest. It is July and the natural time for baby chicks in the South of France where we are. The other birds and cock won't go into their pen at night anymore and are roosting on top of the broody pen as now it is far more interesting! Beautiful bit of film - thank you!
A relaxing and educational video with some beautiful happy birds! Thanks for doing this video
What a wonderful video of communal brooding box for 2 hens and a flock of chicks. Great idea of nipple waterer and non-medicated feed. Watching your beautiful flock brings much joy to my heart. I miss raising chickens.
Thank you Deb... I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found the information useful! I'm sorry you are missing your chickens.. maybe you'll have them again some day... thank you for taking the time to post...
Thank you for this awesome video. I too want to breed naturally and this has helped me. And it shows how much you care for your flock.♥️
Glad it was helpful!
Cute, I love chickens ❤ Something interesting I learned is that hens don't necessarily have to sit the full 21 days in order to accept chicks. Last month I had 2 banty hens sit 2 weeks apart. So when the first hen's eggs hatched the 2nd hen abandoned her eggs and adopted the other hen's chicks instead. She had only been sitting one week.
I ended up with 17 baby chicks out of 17 or 18 eggs.
The chicks seem to enjoy having 2 mothers co parenting them.
That's true, in fact you can order in day-old peeps and start a hen on eggs that are made of wood, ceramic, or even store bought eggs. Simply remove those eggs as you introduce the new chicks and she will adopt them. Hens are easily turned into foster mothers (">
Great video, thank you. As someone else mentioned, it's so calming to not have background music. I wish we could still free range our flock. The foxes around here are so bold they take our chickens under our noses.
Thank you so much Elise, I'm glad you enjoyed it. We do have a fox here at night, it's a male and he's hunting bunnies. Shows up on security cameras.
@@FrederickDunn I had a pet fox. I bought him when he was 8 days old and gave him every 3 hours a bottle, day and night. He became the most beautiful and adorable fox you've ever seen. He played with my dogs and we gone for a walk together every day 3 times. Once my fox sneaked out of the house (the children let the front door open!!) and was gone for 3 days. I surched for him together with one of my dogs every late evening. When I found him and brought him home, I noticed one of his hind legs was terrible hurt, no skin was there anymore. My vet said he was trapped and released himself but for what a price! Was with him to the vet every day and his leg healed slowly. But then suddenly he didnt want to eat anymore and my vet found out my fox was not only trapped but also POISENED!! And after some days he died: screaming and crawling on his knees! If I only knew at that moment who did this to my fox, (he was not even 1 year old), I certainly would have killed the person! As soon he had disappeared I put an annonce in the newspaper and said he would not harm any other animal because he is a pet and please let me know if you have seen him. But not any response. I will never forget.!
Yes, the other 2 hatched this morning!
This is an awesome video. Finally a video I could watch all day. I have an Ameraucana chicken nesting on true blue chicken eggs. I wasn't sure if I needed to get the chicks and separate them. I normally use an incubator but this has been a experience. I might give her duck eggs to hatch next.
I like how you just ignore the pecking.
Can't let them get the best of you (">
@@FrederickDunn Pecking of chickens don't hurt anyway. Once I had doves and one of them pecked me every time; took my skin, holded on and closed his eyes to concentrate on his pecking. When he opened his eyes I laughed and said 'are you happy now'? lol
@@ROBDee-ho9lu I own a rooster and it leaves marks on my skin because he loves to peck and bite just very aggressive
@@ROBDee-ho9lu I guess it must depend on the chicken. I must have pitbull chickens because they will bruise my skin and it hurts.
@@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim lol
What a well made and wonderful video. I learned a lot, and found just watching and listening to it so relaxing, especially because there was no music or narration in parts.You also have a very soothing voice, perfect for this. Loved how the chicks disappear into the mothers, so CUTE! Thank you!
Oh, thank you so much, I'm glad you appreciated it! Nothing cuter than chicks nestling into their mothers' fluff :) Thanks for watching!
OMG I KNOW!
Bird and animal husbandry are truly satisfying hobby that have more positives than many sports or hobbies take your eggs to food bank and watch the sky's open up for you
I have 2 broody hens, and a duck that just started laying. I think this is the route I'll have to go. I walked out in the rain today and it was just laying there by the pool.
I super enjoyed this really well done informative video on a subject I truly am trying to learn.. I leave much more informed.. Thank you very much! I thought about how much I need to know to hatch my chicks out and went ahead and bought your DVD . I feel certain it will save me much over the trial and "ERROR" process.. I'm two years in but still learning much and wish I'd had help long before this... Looking forward to getting my DVD! My chickens say thank you too Fred!
Oh, that's wonderful, and thanks for investing in my video :) I hope you will find that helpful in your flock owning journey :)
great voice, great informations,love the video I can listen to you all day long.
Wow, what a great thing to say :) Thank you so much, you made my evening!
Great Video, thank you. love that is no music .

Nice bunch of chickens and roosters you have there!
Thank you
Thank you for a fine presentation, and some very nice video. We look forward in our start to see similar sights on our property.
You're welcome Russ, thanks for watching and taking a moment to comment :)
I mark mine with a black Sharpie, because it doesn't rub off. It never occurred to me to use food coloring. I might try that next time I have eggs to mark.
That was so beautiful and informative Thank You
You're welcome, thank you for commenting! Enjoy your chickens! (">
A. Very nice soothing and relaxing video at bedtime, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful chickens and rooster. : )
Fantastic, just fantastic.
What a beautiful video
Love how you nurture your broody hens rather than put them in chicken prison for their natural instinct.
First time here - beautiful video!!
Thank you!
You have a BEAUTIFUL flock Fred,I love watching your birds free range and and how they get to live naturally and seperate each other with the pecking order and choose territory. I would have my flock free range all the time but they come on the deck and poop all over it but they still get out every now and again. Great flock take care!
Oy... thank you for the comment and I'm glad you enjoy it! Regarding the "poop deck" there are motion activated sprinklers... you "could" set one up to spritz the birds when the approach the deck, until the habit is altered they learn quick and it can also spray off your deck in the process :)
That's a good idea,and we power wash it off. Thanks
OH Outdoorsman you are welcome... glad to help!
I shared this on my FB hobby farm page! It has been an amazing help! Hopefully it’ll bring you more subscribers and views
Thanks for sharing!!
this video was so helpful! thank you so much :)
I'm so glad!
Loved watching this video very informative thanks
You are Very Welcome... I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
Good operator job! All clear
I love your videos! Nature at it's finest is captured by you with your videos. Beautiful! We also raise chickens and have bought baby chicks from the feed store and at night we exchange the eggs from under a broody hen and replace them with the baby chicks....works wonderfully!!! The broody hen adopts the chicks without a problem and raises them for us.
Thank you! What a nice thing to post... you are very fortunate, I'm glad you are enjoying your chickens!
Nice video, really relaxing.
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, informative & relaxing!

beautiful video . thank you.

Great video I'm new at raising chickens, one of my hens went broody and hatched 1 chick who is now 6 weeks old she is a very good mom .
Oh, that's great Inga, I hope they are still doing well :)
This was great. That's just what I needed to know and I liked the extra footage and the quite time looking at the birds and flower. Thank you.
***** Thank you Fred! I'm so glad you benefitted from this video and enjoyed the chickens...
+Frederick Dunn I yave 3 broody hens and a bunch of road islands hens and 10 roosters should I moove the ones that r not broody to a nuther pin cus the rooster keeps trying to get the broody hen to leev
Hailey May I'm thinking that you have too many roosters in general.... you may want to re-home some of the more aggressive ones...
+Frederick Dunn so I need to get rid ove some roosters or move thim to a nuther pin cus I rill need more hens then I do roosters
So should I make a seprit pin for the broody hens or what
In response to whenthewheelsturn , at 15:50 that is a Partridge Cochin Hen... glad you enjoyed the video :)
Wow! That rooster at 15:06- he's magnificent with those colors and tail feathers! What breed is he, please? You have such well cared for and beautiful animals on your farm! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Hi May, that is a Large Standard Rose Comb Brown Leghorn... they always have fabulous coloration. He gets more visually dramatic with each year. Thank you!
Very good video well done
+Game Keeper75 Thank you so much!
this is so cute!
Amazing video, how do you get the chicks to drink through the waterer
Such cute little peeps!
Really beautiful have a good luck
Thank you so much!
I liked that thought about leaving the chicks and broody hens together in their own flock, if I've got that right, to build flock unity. Seems like an interesting idea, and something that I want to try if I ever get that piece of land.
I liked the sound of birds in the background--so peaceful.
Hi Natasha, yes, it's the most natural method of expanding flocks. Also, the chicks hatched and reared in this way are always more capable on range and the hatch rates are higher. The only drawback is that they aren't as friendly towards people as those hatched in incubators and started in brooders.
Did I understand right, though, that that method decreases the likelihood of hens attacking other hens chicks? Not that it is a big thing, but from my limited chicken farming experience, I've seen that they can be mean to one another at times.
Hmmm, I haven't noticed any hens acting out towards each other's chicks. it's possible that if others hatch chicks at the same time, they could try to claim them all as their own and this results in possession wars :)
That’s my dream job
Chickens are Adorable (Like the "Cat")
I like to separate my broody into a different coop. My other layers always push the broody out. When moving, make a new nest and wait for the broody to choose the new nest. The other options is giving a few days old live chicks after three weeks or close to three weeks of being broody, and watch out for the hen rejecting the chicks.
I like to keep them all in the same building so they can all see and hear each other, that way there is no difficult introductions when they do eventually all get together. If they are separated by buildings, they they are seen as strangers to the resident flock. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
One day hopefully
Thank you )))
You're welcome Gary!
Aww. I have a twenty Chicken/Kraienkopp too ^_^ She's so cute!
That's so nice, I bet they have a great home with you :)

VERY NICE VIDEO IN NATURAL MUSIC LOVE U
Thank you very much
Enjoyed your video. Why did you reject some of the eggs in the nest you were marking for brooding? Thanks
Egg shape and quality are genetic, so I select eggs that are in great condition and from birds we want to continue with.
U have beautiful birds...
Thank you Matthew! I'll pass that along to them (">
Ok I'm done here I going to bed this made super relaxed 😎 and now I can final go to bed (it's 3 in the morning 😬)
Dear Crazy Chicken Girl, I am so happy that this video helped you relax and go to sleep :) as a public speaker, I guess putting people to sleep isn't a good endorsement? But, here on TH-cam, people with sleep problems are actually being sent to my videos, I can live with that :) thanks for commenting!
Frederick Dunn thank you, also I would like to ask what do I do when I have a broody hen that has different date for most of her eggs? Should I put them in my incubator? Or should I just let her do her thing? I just a afraid she'll abandon the other eggs for the one egg or not teach the chick how to eat. What should I do?
When a hen is allowed to brood her own eggs, it's important to keep removing eggs until you start them all together, that's why we mark them, so they are at the same stage of development. Each day, you need to remove any "added" eggs so she is only setting the marked eggs. She would definitely abandon any late hatching eggs. If a chick hatches after the mother leaves the nest, you can generally still expect her to accept that chick. They do learn from their mother very fast, but a chick without a mother also learns to eat and drink by instinct, they just aren't as savvy as those reared with hens.
Frederick Dunn I'll keep that in mind next time I have a broody hen thank you
Wouuu..love from india..❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so glad you enjoyed this :)
I have a 2 broody chickens and I have some more chicks 1 of them already hatched 3 in the past but the other 1s ate them 1 has over 20 eggs under her. The other 1 has 7 eggs under her. One of the chickens eggs are hatching tomorrow!!!!!!🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐥❤️❤️❤️
Just got 3 hens - no rooster allowed where we live - but we got some fertilized eggs along with them. They'll keep, we hope, for 2-3 weeks; and we hope, hope, hope that one of the hens will go broody so that we can get chicks soon! In Sweden, it's called "a sour hen", for the hens get so "sour-tempered" when they're broody -- :)
blixten2928 There are two problems with your plan, I'm sorry to say... fertile eggs kept for 2-3 weeks are very unlikely to remain viable for hatching and the second problem is, you may hatch roosters and you've mentioned that you can't have those. You can't know the sex of the chicks until after the hatch unfortunately.
wow great
Thanks.
great video... was the rooster at 0:50 a croad langshan?
Madeleine Ball Good call Madeleine! It's a Black Langshan Rooster... :) the other of course, is a Buff Cochin. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Hello Fred, is it ok to start day old mail order bantam and standard chicks in the same brood? I am trying to assess the hassle and difficulty of doing two separate broods vs the potential danger of putting them together. Thanks.
You may not get the mother to accept the mail order chicks, BUT, you can take her chicks and put them into a brooder with your mail order, leaving the mother out of the picture all together.
I have problem with 4 hens laying random eggs in 3 boxes. So this causes confusion and eventually fewer chicks hatching. Can you advise me please. Which eggs are more likely to hatch? First laid or last.
Hello dear Frederick, is it possible to get the name of the producer of the self-closing water ball valve inside that hose, this is far most the smartest way to distribute water to chickens which I had seen. Thank you.
Sure! www.amazon.com/dp/B0050ICKN2/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you very much, please can also add a link since I have in meantime noticed that you used the special honey extractor frame and that video was 1 year old so I thought to my self that you have already used it more times, so how is that working up for you? Or is it somehow dangerous to the bees themselves? Please share your thoughts. Thank you again lad. Und tja wenn du Deutscher bist dann bis bald Bursche.
You're absolutely right about Rhode Island reds not going broody. But I have one that hatched out 8 babies and she's actually a great mother. This has never happened before with my RR's. It will probably never happen again with any other RR hen of mine. Her sister is a typical RR hen and has no desire to set.
Hi Don, the broody nature was bred out of the breed in order to preserve egg production, BUT, you can selectively breed from your hen that is showing broody traits if you want to and gradually bring broodiness into your own flock over many years.
Hi. I have 3 hens that lay eggs same place. 13 eggs in one box and 12 in the other. What should I do. I'm trying to breed more hens. I don't harvest eggs. All the hens have hatched haha before, just the one is her first time.
thks
You're welcome Doug
i have raised longisland reds from eggs ,moved them to coop (tn) they are 9 weeks old . they stay in the coop 95% of the time , even with the temp out side in the 60s , run is fenced and safe . what up with that ? any pointers
This is lovely, Frederick. I will order your video. Today I made a huge mistake by pushing and breaking some elephant grass, then 'weed-eating' it... only to discover my sweetest mama bird was sitting on eggs where I couldn't see her - on the other side of my "work". I'm afraid I have totally traumatized her and she is walking around as if she is disheartened. The eggs are still there. Should I take them to the coop and hope she - or one of the other hens - will hatch them? Hmmm... $8 must have been the 2019 price - before 'the inflation that wasn't". :)
Please don't buy the DVD, the entire video is available FREE right here on TH-cam. Regarding your clutch of eggs that you've uncovered. If you have an incubator that you can put them in, that would be best. If you try to put them under other brood hens that already have eggs, they will likely be hatching out at different times and it could be a disaster. I wish you all the best. th-cam.com/video/msko6-fbLoE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ymT4UmrdvDvoSXeh FREE video, please feel free to share the link.
@@FrederickDunn - :) yes, I noticed it was online AFTER I ordered it. :) I found another batch of eggs under the pink primrose plants next to a grapevine. The chickens have been busy. First, a dog killed a chicken in a very dramatic episode, THEN, I found a snake in the laying boxes... and more snakes showed up after that. So I think the chickens have been terrified and don't trust their coop any longer. Might have to move it further from the woods. ? Since the eggs have not been 'sat on' all day, every day, can they still hatch?
You might want to change your statement that is "pinned", to reduce confusion among your admirers. This is a really wonderful video. Thanks again.
Thank you for this beautifully-done educational video! I have 8 Plymouth Barred Rock Hens and a magnificent rooster of the same breed and I'm interested in breeding my own. I'm getting tons of lovely fertile eggs, yet none of my hens show any inclination toward broodiness, even though I've heard that Rocks go broody. They're hardy birds and good foragers, but once they lay, they're out of the nest immediately. I'm about to buy an incubator. Any way to encourage broodiness in hens?
I've never had a Barred Rock Hen go broody... you can use an incubator, but have you considered bringing in a broody breed just for flock reproduction? Silkies, Cochins, Rose Combs... most of the dual purpose breeds don't brood since it's been removed from then through selective breeding.
Pipsqwak My Barred Rocks started laying at 21 weeks old and one went broody at 25 weeks old...yesterday! Have hope!!
@@ladyjoy6868 Good luck!!
@@ROBDee-ho9lu Update:. 5 eggs hatched! She's been an amazing mother!!
@@ladyjoy6868 That's great! Congratulations! Yesterday evening one of my 9 Serama eggs hatched! It was day 19...Hopefully the rest of them today..in the incubator.
hello very good
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the gentle video. I am planning to do this for the first time and am researching! You seem to be unusual in leaving the broody with her eggs in the main coop until hatch. Most advice is to remove to a separate enclose to avoid damage and bullying from other birds. Do you find this is not a concern?
The hen is kept with her chicks in the same coop as all of the others. They are separated by cage wire until their 6th week of development. Keeping them all in the same structure keeps them all familiar with one another and this limits picking etc...
They are beautiful ! What kind of breed the hen with feather by the legs ?
She's a Brahma
Thank you 🙏
Hello Fred, do you have any experience with either Russian Orloff or Salmon Faverolle? Thanks
I had Faverolles back in 2000... what would you like to know about them?
@@FrederickDunn Thanks for the reply, mainly, on average what other breeds they can mix with without being bullied too much.
