🤣 Helicopter mom lol

Wooow that sounds very hilarious and strange 😂😂😂😂😂

She sounds like a great mama hen to me!! And yes helicopter mama!

poor soul ... she does not want to accept that her children have already grown up ...

I had one do that also and the babies were almost as big as her and she couldn’t cover them with her wings anymore 😂

😂😂😂😂

Same.

Lol me too

i mean its not ad

😂

Because now you need chickens!! 😂😂

You have a subconscious need to sit on eggs.

Because it’s wonderful watching good parenting

Now you are ready for them!

@@charsiu_808 Yes! I shall conquer the quest for healthy chickens!

💟Thank You!💟

Thank you I like to get right to the point because that’s the type of video I like to watch. Just too many things to do in a day. I appreciate you. 🥰

Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful.

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage Do y'all still put videos up on youtube ?

@@BARBSCOUNTRYHOME999 We took this past year off to focus on the baby but we’re back! I’m posting one today!!

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage hey I have a question, my broody hen has been sitting on eggs for 2 days. Is it too late to add more eggs?

@@unknown69801 Well you can try but I’m afraid if you add them they won’t hatch on the same day as the others and she may abandon them to take care of the chicks that hatched. Usually she will keep sitting on the newly hatched chicks for a day or two so she may keep sitting if they start to hatch in that time. It’s really hard to say for sure.

💟Thank You!💟

Right, I had just taken mine water and feed and went right back out to remove it!

Bu wy

Thank you! We try to treat them well they have been so giving to us with their eggs and we really enjoy raising them.

💟Thank You!💟

💟Thank You!💟 Do it it only takes planting that seed to get your officials thinking about it.

Thank you so much!

Ahw sounds like she may not have been taken care of well. Hens will stop laying if they are under stress, malnourished, or if they just don’t like their living conditions. She must be very happy now!

Thanks for watching!

I'm in the same situation..and we are new to chicken keeping..only a couple of years now

💟Thank You!💟

💟Thank You!💟

I bet you’re so excited! I love it!

This is true! 🤣

Thanks you!

Me too

Thank you! Are going to let her?

Heck yeah! I Just candled them and I saw movement in one, and I spotted the embryo in another! 7 days into incubation today

Possibly if you collected the eggs every day. Thank you!

Thank you! Very cheap and very easy to clean!

Thank you!

First ever wyandotte went broody right after laying the first clutch in the first year. Adorable fiesty lady

Thank you!

Yes! She never got to hatch a clutch before we got her. He said she tried to hatch the entire time he had her which was two years. He never let her because he incubated the eggs so she would attack him every day when he would collect. She was so happy I gave her eggs as soon as I got her home and she sat immediately. She was the best!

Yep she probably is. Are you going to let her hatch some?

They can be feisty when they want babies! Lol good luck!

My buff orp went broody about a week ago. She's only 28 weeks old!! Pulled all her belly feathers out and keeps trying, though she's sweet and I pull the eggs from under her every day. Hoping in 21 days she'll go back to just being a hen!! I'm in the Midwest and it's COLD and SNOWY

Go for it!

Yes Cochins are wonderful I love mine!

How did it go?

Oh, & yea ! & Great video...ty

Thank you! He’s a sweetie pie and he’s going to love this comment!

If she did that there might be something wrong with the eggs. They could have either not been fertilized or they died. It’s difficult to get them to sit again if they abandon their clutch, but they usually only abandon it if there’s a problem.

Thank you! I wouldn’t try to get a hen to adopt them especially since none have had chicks yet. You’ll want to keep them separated. I would hold off for warmer weather as well they will have a better chance and it will be less stress on you.

Yes and chick starter did not affect my layers one bit. At four weeks they are all on layer feed. However I don’t use pellets I use crumbles for everything.

Oooooh you going to get some babies! Go Maxine!

It doesn’t depend on breed at all, chickens aren’t bred to go broody from hatcheries but any chicken can go broody they still have that instinct. I’ve never had a chicken that didn’t go broody and I’ve had just about every breed I could think of. They will figure it out if they have the opportunity.

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage As a chicken breeder for 14+ years it does most definitely have to do with breed. Chickens came with that instinct initially but some have been selectively bred to NOT have that instinct anymore- due to breeding for reduced Prolactin (the hormone that initiates broodiness). If you've not had purebred chickens and instead chickens from a hatchery then you truly have had every breed there is because while the hatcheries might to try to tell you they're pure whatever. That would be false. They are interested in numbers and not quality and just about everything they have is crossbred. What you end up with in that scenario is a bird that could be anything with any mix of genes for various needs. You could get one that is strong for not being broody or you could get one that is strong for it. So the fact that you've never had a bird not go broody means very little. It just means that you have gotten birds with the genetics that are reasonably strong enough for brooding. That doesn't surprise me as the default is to brood and given crossing out enough that breeding for not brooding will disappear in favor of the default genes. But don't believe me, read it from a vet- "Breeds that were selectively bred for excessive egg production, such as the white Leghorn, rarely show broody behavior. This is because broodiness is undesirable for the egg industry, because they artificially incubate eggs through hatcheries. " www.poultrydvm.com/condition/broodiness

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage i agree with winds of change, it most definitely depends on the breed. Chickens aren't bred with certain instincts at a hatchery. Their instincts will date back hundreds of years ago when they were created. The leghorn is a great example, And i highly doubt you have any broodys that are white leg horns. When I first started with chickens back in the 90s I had a bunch of barnyard mixes that I had gotten from a big hatchery, after about a year they had all parished from predators, this is when I realized chicken breeds are very different and some survive better than others, I have been raising American games now for almost 11 years now and have lost only 6 to predators, mind you these guys roost in the trees at night not in a coop. They are the hardiest birds I've ever had and get stronger every year as I am very selective on the breeding. Long story short stop using these big name hatcheries, they overbreed many favorible chick breeds and in return are pretty much left with a mutt of a chicken who has lost all instincts. Chickens from hatcheries are human dependant...that's not a good thing.

I have but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re only putting guinea eggs under her because they hatch at different times than chicken eggs. I’ve also done it with duck eggs.

Lol She’s got you babysitting her eggs!

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage well She was attacked by a wild cat when she first went broody luckily my roosters alerted me, so a have a few the fellow me around like small children and will only eat if I’m somewhere that they can see me, just because in their eyes my lead hen which I don’t mind
