Well, this was an extremely random video to turn up in my recommendation list, to say the least, but so glad that it did as I really enjoyed the video, great luck with your new flock of chicks and I hope you gave that eBay seller a recommendation he sent you some really good eggs.

I wouldn’t recommend writing with permanent marker on your eggs, the smartest thing to write the date on them with is a pencil. Permanent marker could soak through the egg and effect the growth of your chicks. I usually write a small “4/4” (month, date). If your new to hatching eggs, I wish you great luck among your journey!
Yeah but holy cow did he make me anxious grabbing the chick out of his moms hand so roughly. They are so fragile and children have a tendency of not having a light hand.
@@eaglechas it's life. We can't shelter our children from everyday life. They don't have to know the chickens we eat are the exact same chickens in the backyard.

The only thing we did different when I was growing up was that we wore white cotton gloves to handle the eggs we were setting as my dad said we’d have a higher hatch rate because the oils from your hands would be bad with incubator or setting hen. We raised our food so hatch rates were important to us and we always had great numbers.
I don't know it was on mine too and I' glad... had a cute overload... oh my those chicks! so cute! but it was funny to see how randomly people ended up here after some surfing on youtube too.. Now I want black chicks snif!
It’s the middle of the night and I’m meant to be reading a book for school. Instead I’m watching a video of a guy trying to hatch chicken eggs from eBay. I am officially subscribing
the fact that this breed is completely black might have been the reason the one chick died, for if an animal has an exessive amount of melanin can cause poor blood clotting, resulting to bleeding out (from what ive learned)
I'm no vegan, but there's something mental about acting like these are pets then without blinking talking about tasting them. I could never eat something living that I raised.
InTheZone if treating them like pets mean treating them with respect n kindness then yes. True rural farmers raise their flock the same way while also using them as a food source.
@@resone3645 it depends on person. My grandpa raised chicken and rabbits, but he couldn't kill them and my uncle helped him with this. I like this kind of feature of my grandpa though it's seems a little hypocritical, but it's just our life is
InTheZone. The only way to increase any rare breed animal is to use the surplus for whatever they were originally bred for. If they were bred for meat, and for example you have too many males, what are you supposed to do with them but eat them? You can't afford to keep all male cattle and sheep alive just because you are trying to save a breed, or you will get to the point where you can't afford to keep any more animals and have to stop breeding them. By the way, the same argument applies to all milk animals - they have to be bred every year to go on producing milk, but you only need the females and an occasional exceptional male to use as a stud animal. If people get all squeamish and sentimental about eating those male animals, then don't expect to drink milk, eat cheese or any of the other uses of milk by products. You either need to be an omnivore or a vegan - If you are a dairy eating vegetarian you have to realise that some animals will have to be slaughtered because these animals are too big and expensive to keep as pets. I'm sure that once these chicks are no longer as cute and fluffy they will no longer be treated as pets, but wife already said she didn't fancy eating black meat. It would be interesting to know what they will do with them if all 6 live chicks turn out to be roosters!
That's why i respect the hunting ways of natives where some of them pray for the souls of the animals (pets or not) they butcher in exchange for food and to continue living.

This is proof that no matter how old you are, I'm 57, there is Always new things to learn. I had No idea one could order fertilized eggs online and have a farm broody hen incubate them. Absolutely fascinating!
As I'm seeing that it looks like no one answered your question, generally they will grow out of the white, but that is a flaw from the parents, passed through breeding. Some breeders of Ayam Cemani will let you know they will start out with some white, but that it will fade and is completely normal. It is, for a flawed line. Greenfire farms, one of the only hatcheries to carry this breed, imported their line from Indonesia, yet they sell a flawed line. They are still absolutely beautiful, but when trying to breed them to keep that perfection in the bloodline, the white toes(that all of yours also had) and absolutely the white feathers, are not considered pure, despite what some will try to tell you. There is actually a seller on eBay with a listing for a "Rainbow" Cemani. All it is is a flaw in the line that causes more white feathers that don't go away. It is an absolutely beautiful bird, but not pure anything. Hope that answers your question...Loved your video 💖
These birds did not come from greenfire that does have pure breed these came from breeder that one does not know the linage. Not a good idea to disparage what you don't know.
Greenfire Farms does not breed a fully pure line. From what I understand, it is why they are no longer breeding Cemani, but their listing on their own website claimed that white toes and feathers were normal and would go away. Anyone that has done real research on Cemani knows that's not true. Bleed through is something they claimed "just happens" and mulberry combs is also a problem that they claimed was normal when it is an imperfection. It is a very good possibility these came from Greenfire Farms, but whether they did or not, they're a breeder/hatchery to really look up to when it comes to this breed.
What *I've* learned is that *Silkie* broody hens are a blessing. Lol. If I ever am able to have my own little homestead and have some chickens, I'm Def gonna consider having a Silkie just for the broodiness :))
keandric 2 Yesss, I currently have 6 silkie eggs in the incubator which are all looking good, I’m hoping they’ll hatch and grow up being good mamas since all of my other chickens are not so broody. I have another egg in my other incubator which should hatch today it’s already piped it’s shell, can’t wait to see what it looks like since the dad is a barred rock and the mom is a Easter Egger!
The top 5 broody hens from best to almost best are Silkie, Cochin, Orpington (good egg layer as well), Brahma (winter hardy and good winter layer,) and then Sussex (recovering breed, so on the rare side. Good camo for free range. Good layer and winter layer.)
He just moved them softly up and down, similar force if they were moved around in a nest. If they did get impacted on delivery some if not all would be broken. The shredded paper can take some of the impact but no matter how padded a box is, enough force will break the contents. Is cool the mail service was gentle with them.
Damm I dropped a tear on this vid..just subscribed.What a beautiful family and life you have. God bless you and your whole family including the animals.
That's so cool that you got half of them to hatch. We got a flock of 8 Ayam Cemani about a month ago. They are about 4 months old now. Pretty excited. 🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔
I would think handling the eggs would disturb the process. But I guess not. They are beautiful. I couldn’t eat them.. thanks for sharing. Congratulations.
Ordered some chick eggs from Idaho and was wondering about the shipping. Good to know it should be just fine. Thanks so much for sharing! Such a cute family and farm! 🧡
We have hatched quite a few of these. Like you, we got our start from Ebay. Impressive breed....smaller in size, incredibly fast and illusive. They will flatten themselves out and go completely quiet when they are being pursued and have no place to go. We've seen this with adults and in chicks as young as 2 weeks old. Best of luck with them.
APiriates Life-Wow! That’s an interesting fact about them I have not heard. We been pondering getting some to start a breeding flock. They very expensive.
One advice from eastern europe ! NEVER mark your eggs with sharpie ! Mark it with a pencil, its natural, the sharpie has chemicals, and also alcohool in it, some say its not good for the baby chick, pencils are just coal,which is nice and ok! plus some sharpies in contact with the coated oily egg, combined with humidity (from the hen sweat) may smudge ! good luck,nice video
Thank you for this video!! I smiled through the whole thing (except when the one didn't make it) brought back a lot of childhood memories when I had silkies and a HUGE white rock hen named Dumplin who thought she was my lap dog!❤😊🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥 & LOVE the music in the vid! Thanks again!
I love that the boys have the privilege of growing up in this environment. It's one of the best classrooms they can have. A place to incubate a love of life. :)
Vinn Rush I have never tried but i heard it is nutritious for women. Expensive stuff. Yeah they are braised for hours. I may not want to try because of the skin.
@@VyNguyen-wy3ov idk what do you mean good for women but so i heard that it's for..uhh men stamina...(you know what i mean right ?) so maybe that's good for women ?? and i also heard it's good for your skin..(maybe this one is good for woman) idk which one is true tho...,yeah i think it would be best just for exotic pets not for eating....hahaha
Vinn Rush ha Ha! I got what you mean. I mean women have to go thru menstruation when they lose their nutrients. But yeah in the end I would not recommend to eat any of that unless you are malnourished. Anyways lovely Chanel. Enjoy !
In my opinion about the little white, it could go away or its just got a case of leucism (is a partial loss of pigmentation, which can make the animal have white or patchily colored skin, hair, feathers and so on, but the pigment cells in the eyes are not affected by the condition). If its leucism, it should not affect breeding, may be passed down but its more a fluke. Think of it like a birth mark.
Try the app Hatchabatch. I like to use it when I have multiple batches . Also its kinda fun because it gives you reminders and a short description of what stage your embryo is in.
I don’t understand how people put animals in a box and ship them, I’ll be so scared I can’t imagine how many boxes get lost or never make it to your house. This gave me anxiety so bad. Thank God it made to you.
Awe, they are so cute. And then a couple years later (or months if their male) you'll tear open there neck and head and get blood spewing everywhere because even though you put so much time, "love" and care into them now. Years later you, your wife, and your child will eat the same thing your coddling now. That really is messed up, how can you people have so much coldness. EVERY CHICKEN, EVERY DUCK, EVERY TURKEY you beheaded was once one of those cute babies that you so seem to care about.
CUTENESS OVERLOAD! Loved seeing ya guys have success with the broody silkies, great Mommas, so if ya guys have 7 alive, 1st baby that didn't make it, there are still 3 pending their hatch moment? Your Silkie rooster is fierce and it seems the hens are excellent Mommas, this past thursday I saw my first live Silkies at the open air market here in the hood, a pair the hen was total grey color, the male likewise but with a curly knob of a red comb and some orange/reddish feathers interspersed with the grey ones, I asked the guy selling them how much, 400 pesos a piece, and if you bought the pair 800 pesos, that's the equivalent of 40 usd for the pair, is that a good price or are they expensive?
+Joe Serrano - a standard laying hen is worth about $15. A specialty bird, about $20. Silkies won't produce very big eggs, but they've been instrumental in us hatching out so many chicks this year. So if it's hard to get Silkies in your area, $40 is probably a fair price for a pair.
Sounds like a fair and reasonable price for good mommas that very likely do a better job than any incubator AND Care for the chicks after they hatch. Time and effort saving. Hope you bought them.
Really cool video!! I love that you put a camera in overnight so we can watch how the hens work during hatching. I was glued to the screen. Learned quite a lot, thank you!
All the chickens we have are mixed from a lot of different breeds. They're free roamed and we keep the roosters unleas there's to much of them or it's aggressive. Our chickens come in every color and feather shape. They're naturally bred we have no part in it and they're doing great.😊
I do it all the time my cream leg bars are hatching now, I guy by the name of BRICKLAYER is who I bought my cemanis from 8 out of 10 hatched. the 2 that didnt weren't fertile.
@@user-np1ch6bs6t Thank you for the recommendation. Ive been dying to buy rare-breed eggs on eBay for the last year and was just too nervous about who to buy from. This gives me a place to start :)
Are you going to butcher them? Here in indonesia those chicken could cost you a fortune! As for the meat it is the only chicken with a black meat, usually it is used in herbal soup. But damn if i had these chickens i would never butcher them! They are so rare and expensive!
+De Teratier - we don't plan on butchering them unless there is a problem rooster. We would like to try the meat, if possible, but they're worth more producing hatching eggs.
+bwayne40004 - I'm sure there is a better solution, but I need to be able to see the hatching eggs from the freshly laid eggs in the dark of night when I go out to collect them.

These birds did not come from greenfire that does have pure breed these came from breeder that one does not know the linage. Not a good idea to disparage what you don't know.
Greenfire Farms does not breed a fully pure line. From what I understand, it is why they are no longer breeding Cemani, but their listing on their own website claimed that white toes and feathers were normal and would go away. Anyone that has done real research on Cemani knows that's not true. Bleed through is something they claimed "just happens" and mulberry combs is also a problem that they claimed was normal when it is an imperfection. It is a very good possibility these came from Greenfire Farms, but whether they did or not, they're a breeder/hatchery to really look up to when it comes to this breed.
@@serenafiachra929 did you 2 get married?
That’s some realistic hatchimals
Who knEw
XD omg I'm laughing so hard right now. I read your Comment then looked at your profile pic, then I couldn't help myself after lol.
Lol
🤣
ACrippled User stop I get it but it’s not funny
What I've learned from your channel is that broody hens are a blessing to have.
What *I've* learned is that *Silkie* broody hens are a blessing. Lol. If I ever am able to have my own little homestead and have some chickens, I'm Def gonna consider having a Silkie just for the broodiness :))
keandric 2 Yesss, I currently have 6 silkie eggs in the incubator which are all looking good, I’m hoping they’ll hatch and grow up being good mamas since all of my other chickens are not so broody. I have another egg in my other incubator which should hatch today it’s already piped it’s shell, can’t wait to see what it looks like since the dad is a barred rock and the mom is a Easter Egger!
@x_ ѕavana _x Nice! Good luck =D
Lol ikr? I've noticed that from these videos, his silkies will be willing to sit on every egg he gives them.
The top 5 broody hens from best to almost best are Silkie, Cochin, Orpington (good egg layer as well), Brahma (winter hardy and good winter layer,) and then Sussex (recovering breed, so on the rare side. Good camo for free range. Good layer and winter layer.)
Not sure how this appeared as recommended video but... no complaints here. Very wholesome content. :)
+ChaosKnightMatthew - thank you!
he shakes the eggs woried that they may have been shook duirng shipping..aye aye aye
He just moved them softly up and down, similar force if they were moved around in a nest. If they did get impacted on delivery some if not all would be broken. The shredded paper can take some of the impact but no matter how padded a box is, enough force will break the contents. Is cool the mail service was gentle with them.
Damm I dropped a tear on this vid..just subscribed.What a beautiful family and life you have.
God bless you and your whole family including the animals.
+DG Medor - we really appreciate it
That's so cool that you got half of them to hatch. We got a flock of 8 Ayam Cemani about a month ago. They are about 4 months old now. Pretty excited. 🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔
+Farm Alarm - looking forward to seeing your birds!
@@whitehouseonthehill maybe my birds and your birds can have a play date. Lol
@Justin Nguyen LOL because they were 3 months old when I got them. Good question though 😜😜😜
You are welcome @Justin Nguyen, go check out my video on them 👍
It's normal for a lot of breeds to have a different color as chicks,it usually will molt out
Silkies are the sweetest chickens. Everyone should have a few
Can we get an update on the black and white one of ot still had the white
When I was a 8 year old boy in 1970 I had a black chicken. This brought back lots of memories.
Thank you for this video!
Wow your hens are so beautiful and well behaved every time i see chickens they always runaway from humans best of wishes to you and your chicks
I would think handling the eggs would disturb the process. But I guess not. They are beautiful. I couldn’t eat them.. thanks for sharing. Congratulations.

Next thing you know,
Human babies are sold on Ebay.
Karen Lamb actually, they’re kinda “frozen” before being incubated, sorta like a seed that hasn’t been planted, it isnt harmful
GOD NO

That's what the Dark Web and Black Market is for lol
From a range to a pencil to a human baby in the future
Ordered some chick eggs from Idaho and was wondering about the shipping. Good to know it should be just fine. Thanks so much for sharing! Such a cute family and farm! 🧡
I didnt know this thing even existed and now I can't stop watching.
I heard about digital pets but this takes it to a whole new level!!!

True, I think there was actually someone selling a kid on Ebay 0.o
@@blobin456drawz thats a little bit far
You can’t friends or not being lonely on eBay.
We have hatched quite a few of these. Like you, we got our start from Ebay. Impressive breed....smaller in size, incredibly fast and illusive. They will flatten themselves out and go completely quiet when they are being pursued and have no place to go. We've seen this with adults and in chicks as young as 2 weeks old. Best of luck with them.
+APiriates Life - thanks for sharing!
Where on eBay can you buy the eggs?
@@catrina771 i like to know too
APiriates Life-Wow! That’s an interesting fact about them I have not heard. We been pondering getting some to start a breeding flock. They very expensive.
One advice from eastern europe ! NEVER mark your eggs with sharpie ! Mark it with a pencil, its natural, the sharpie has chemicals, and also alcohool in it, some say its not good for the baby chick, pencils are just coal,which is nice and ok! plus some sharpies in contact with the coated oily egg, combined with humidity (from the hen sweat) may smudge ! good luck,nice video
Thats an awesome christmas present. New Addition to the homestead are always exciting.
+Sathis Kumar - thank you! It was a great present!
Thank you for this video!! I smiled through the whole thing (except when the one didn't make it) brought back a lot of childhood memories when I had silkies and a HUGE white rock hen named Dumplin who thought she was my lap dog!❤😊🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥 & LOVE the music in the vid! Thanks again!
+Easton Meyer - thank you so much!
Easier to find another husband than one of these chickens. And less stress...
I've watched lots of things die but knowing lots of birds being raised strong it makes me more happy
I love that the boys have the privilege of growing up in this environment. It's one of the best classrooms they can have. A place to incubate a love of life. :)
I still remember in like 4th grade we hatched chicks 🐣 😭 the most beautiful experience.
Elibobelly Sandoval ugh, lucky ducks!! For my class the incubator was being fucked with and they all died 😭😭I never got to experience it 😭😭😭
We did ours in third grade 😃😀😁
We didn’t really do science just mostly math so we didn’t do it

How beautiful, all black. I also really loved how tolerant the silky hens were when being moved to check the eggs. They are very well behaved birds.
This type of chicken actual origins is actually from Indonesia,and they're consider as luxury foods in different country
Vinn Rush same. They use these one to make broth with spices and herbs
@@VyNguyen-wy3ov yes,so i heard that they boiled it whole and for a long time
Vinn Rush I have never tried but i heard it is nutritious for women. Expensive stuff. Yeah they are braised for hours. I may not want to try because of the skin.
@@VyNguyen-wy3ov idk what do you mean good for women but so i heard that it's for..uhh men stamina...(you know what i mean right ?) so maybe that's good for women ?? and i also heard it's good for your skin..(maybe this one is good for woman) idk which one is true tho...,yeah i think it would be best just for exotic pets not for eating....hahaha

I logged on to watch snake eggs hatch and here I am watching chicken eggs. Very adorable little chicks. Don't regret at all
im not gonna lie i think this house would be a heck of a lot better with some more silkie chickens,
*THEY'RE JUST SO DAMN CUTE!!!!*
They’re addicting. I have sixteen in an incubator in my bedroom closet
In my opinion about the little white, it could go away or its just got a case of leucism (is a partial loss of pigmentation, which can make the animal have white or patchily colored skin, hair, feathers and so on, but the pigment cells in the eyes are not affected by the condition). If its leucism, it should not affect breeding, may be passed down but its more a fluke. Think of it like a birth mark.
Try the app Hatchabatch. I like to use it when I have multiple batches . Also its kinda fun because it gives you reminders and a short description of what stage your embryo is in.
+Andrea Albright - that sounds fun, I'll check it out!
Ok this is AWESOME!!! Got it downloaded and tracking my eggs immediately! :D

I don’t understand how people put animals in a box and ship them, I’ll be so scared I can’t imagine how many boxes get lost or never make it to your house. This gave me anxiety so bad. Thank God it made to you.
Idk how many get lost but i do know trilions are killed each year and eaten😃
They all look gorgeous, congratulations and I hope you do well with them ❤️
+MOLLY MOO - thank you so much!
Awe, they are so cute. And then a couple years later (or months if their male) you'll tear open there neck and head and get blood spewing everywhere because even though you put so much time, "love" and care into them now. Years later you, your wife, and your child will eat the same thing your coddling now. That really is messed up, how can you people have so much coldness. EVERY CHICKEN, EVERY DUCK, EVERY TURKEY you beheaded was once one of those cute babies that you so seem to care about.
CUTENESS OVERLOAD! Loved seeing ya guys have success with the broody silkies, great Mommas, so if ya guys have 7 alive, 1st baby that didn't make it, there are still 3 pending their hatch moment? Your Silkie rooster is fierce and it seems the hens are excellent Mommas, this past thursday I saw my first live Silkies at the open air market here in the hood, a pair the hen was total grey color, the male likewise but with a curly knob of a red comb and some orange/reddish feathers interspersed with the grey ones, I asked the guy selling them how much, 400 pesos a piece, and if you bought the pair 800 pesos, that's the equivalent of 40 usd for the pair, is that a good price or are they expensive?
+Joe Serrano - a standard laying hen is worth about $15. A specialty bird, about $20. Silkies won't produce very big eggs, but they've been instrumental in us hatching out so many chicks this year. So if it's hard to get Silkies in your area, $40 is probably a fair price for a pair.
I agree. 40 is fair, at least around where i live.
Sounds like a fair and reasonable price for good mommas that very likely do a better job than any incubator AND Care for the chicks after they hatch. Time and effort saving.
Hope you bought them.
Dark fire pesos is Philippines 🇵🇭
@Dark fire From Mexico mx
Really cool video!! I love that you put a camera in overnight so we can watch how the hens work during hatching. I was glued to the screen. Learned quite a lot, thank you!
All the chickens we have are mixed from a lot of different breeds. They're free roamed and we keep the roosters unleas there's to much of them or it's aggressive. Our chickens come in every color and feather shape. They're naturally bred we have no part in it and they're doing great.😊
That hatch rate was amazing! Would you mind sharing the seller you bought from? Nervous to buy eggs from eBay but you guys give me hope!
I do it all the time my cream leg bars are hatching now, I guy by the name of BRICKLAYER is who I bought my cemanis from 8 out of 10 hatched. the 2 that didnt weren't fertile.
Elaine Hamarsheh and is it black? From inside too?????
@@user-np1ch6bs6t Thank you for the recommendation. Ive been dying to buy rare-breed eggs on eBay for the last year and was just too nervous about who to buy from. This gives me a place to start :)
if you get a rooster and a hen you can get free chicks all the time with really good hatch rates

Are you going to butcher them? Here in indonesia those chicken could cost you a fortune! As for the meat it is the only chicken with a black meat, usually it is used in herbal soup. But damn if i had these chickens i would never butcher them! They are so rare and expensive!
+De Teratier - we don't plan on butchering them unless there is a problem rooster. We would like to try the meat, if possible, but they're worth more producing hatching eggs.
Silkies have black meat as well
De Teratier so glad you’d raise them with no butcherin them
Dude.... In indonesia, it is used for a dark ritual magic.
Black chicken used to sacrificed as a medium. Thats why ayam cemani here is expensive

I always used a #2 pencil to mark eggs. Sharpies have chemicals and so forth that I always thought could absorb through the shell.

So they are going to eat it. I thought it's their pets.
I dont think so cuz theyre so rare
They're farmers so, most likely they'll eat some of their own animals
They can’t just have a bunch of roosters they’ll probably fight. So... maybe. But it’s their choice & people have to eat..
Minita Bathija-Why would you think that? There is nothing in vid to suggest it. This is a homesteading channel.
but later on in the video the women said," I don't think I could eat the meat though." meaning that they are probably interested in tasting them
How did I start from spear fishing and get to this?
bruhh same here
I went from expensive sea cucumbers
I went from bamboo vids to this
I went from watching videos on how I can fix my air condioner to this.
Clearly I'm meant to hatch unique birds now!
Whenever you make videos of this sort, like hatching rear birds, please make a part 2 with their grown version and add it to suggestions. Because when they are young, all chicks look the same.
And here I was skeptical about Ebay eggs, amazing!
