  • Here are 7 reasons why chickens make great pets:
    * You get fresh eggs every day from the hens
    * They're friendly animals
    * They each have their own personalities
    * They make funny sounds (not a true reason I suppose)
    * Chickens are beautiful animals
    * They provide free fertilizer
    * They're fun to watch and hang out with
    Let's not forget about their funny dinosaur feet and are naturally curious animals. They will follow you around everywhere you go in the coop or run, and are not afraid to jump up in your lap.
    The breeds of chickens we have are golden sexlinks, golden laced wyandottes, Rhode Island reds, an Ohio buckeye, a blue Andalusian and a Barnevelder.

    Roosters are kinda like hens but with a rooster they’ll try to mate with anything that’s remotely hen shaped but most times they’ll be as chill as a cucumber. Sometimes roosters will do some of the funniest things like roosting in a odd place, sun bathing in a weird way, sometimes crowing in a funny way, and pick fights with a mirror or anything that they deem as a challenge

    We had a hen wander into our yard. We live in a city. She really seems to like it here and has adopted us. I have no idea if I should be feeding her or letting her just scratch and forage. I gave her some corn and peas, and now she follows me around the yard. Not so good when I cross the street, though. She wants to follow me there. I have no idea what to do with a chicken.

    Not for everyone. They poop a lot (can't potty train them) and if you live where there are predators you. have to make sure they are locked up at night and when you are not at home

    Awesome video! We just acquired a couple chickens that seem to of found their way into our property,
    But anyway , I’ve never been around chickens , just heard their infamous cockadoodledoo,
    But always from a distance , and always loved hearing it!
    I think it’s a very uplifting sound …the crack of dawn and another beautiful day , sound
    Anyways , those couple chickens ..we’ll let’s just say …they sure can multiply and multiply ,
    But Ive really started getting attached , and I see them as pets , not chicken dumplings !
    So thanks for taking the time to make your video !

    Yesterday, while I was biking with my brother, I noticed a white little thing, we thought it was a chicken. We were right! We couldn't do much since it already had an owner and it was stuck to a leash, but man we got along well! I think we bonded for 30 minutes. One time it but its mouth on my hand while I was trying to pet it and I was kinda scared. I also held the chicken and man it was SOO CUTE! even if it wasn't a baby chicken, I loved it so much and now I'm begging my parent's for a chicken. I'll update this story if my parent's do or do not buy us a pet chicken

    • @bwelmhouse1
      @bwelmhouse1  Před 5 měsíci +2

      That depends on where you live and what the climate is like. Also depends on what your set up will be, like whether they're free ranging or will spend their entire lives in a coop/run. I would NOT recommend starting off with chicks if you've never had chickens before. You need some experience with chickens first before having chicks. Chicks require a special setup. You'll want to research the proper setup and care for chicks. Adults or at least chickens of 6 months of age require less care than chicks, but still require proper care. Either way, do some research on how to properly care for chickens and the proper setups. They aren't the easiest animals to keep, but not terribly difficult either. They get sick very easily and you have to know how to properly treat them. They also have specific feed requirements and their living quarters have to be kept clean and secure from predators.

    I'm planning on getting chickens, but I've heard that laying eggs every day isn't especially healthy for them. I think I'll use suprelorin to cut back on the egg production. Do you know anything about this I should know?

    • @bwelmhouse1
      @bwelmhouse1  Před rokem

      That's definitely not true. You should NOT be trying to force your chickens to lay less eggs. In fact, you might harm them by doing that. Chickens that lay eggs every day or at least consistently, is a sign of a healthy chicken. Here are some sources with information: www.purinamills.com/chicken-feed/education/detail/how-long-do-chickens-lay-eggs-goals-for-laying-hens#:~:text=D.&text=Consistent%20egg%20production%20is%20a,an%20egg%20almost%20daily%20thereafter.
      petkeen.com/do-chickens-lay-eggs-everyday/
      You really shouldn't be interfering with your chicken's ovulation. Just feed them properly and provide an ideal, clean, comfortable and stress-free environment with plenty of space for them and allow them to lay their eggs as often as they want to.

      Yes, but not every day. I'm susceptible to it because it is a disorder and that's how my brain is wired, but I've done enough exposure therapy that most everyday situations are not a problem. I still have some anxiety when driving certain places or being in certain situations where I feel trapped.

Hoping you make a video on roosters because people have the wrong view of them :( :( especially their crow which is just sad because a dogs bark is soooooo much louder but people don't complain that is okay!!! Also the city laws are just insane and ridiculous :( :( :( Thanks for the video!!
