my lavender orpington chicks are about 7-8 weeks old and I just took them outside the other day and they followed my around everywhere, and when I sat down all eight tried to get on my lap. It was adorable!
That’s what I’m getting! 🐓❤️
There's no hug like a hug from a big, fluffy Orpington hen! When I pick up my big Buff Orp Goldie, she always puts one wing around my shoulder, and it's so sweet it melts my heart.
I have a solo chick that was orphaned by one of my hens last year and I raised him like a momma myself. He went everywhere with me for 4 weeks and was warmed on my neck in a face shield. Now he comes for drives to get coffee most days as an adult😂
Baby chicks are the beginning of a lovely and amazing journey! Raising chickens has the power to turn your life around. My birds have changed my life in wondrous ways.
So true! Me too!
Amen!
After I had my chicks in a wire cat kennel, with cardboard walls, and pee pads on the bottom, I put them in a kiddie pool with shredded paper bedding (from the pet store) and 1/2" hardware cloth walls. We cut doors on both sides for access. I used the radiant heat brooder, sometimes with a wash cloth curtain. When they got a little bigger we put some low roosting bars in it. This has worked out very well the last two years. I have standard size chickens. Love seeing your bantams.
We just lost our brahma this morning and have no idea why 😢 She just didn't come out of the coop this morning 💔 I loved my gentle giant... Time for more brahmas!
I’m so sorry for your loss 😞
😢
@@saravannorman5347 thank you 😥 at least she passed in her sleep...
I'm so very sorry!
I had two partridge rock hens share a nest. Only two chicks hatched. These mama's were so protective of these chick's. One mama's was gone one summer day. One of the chicks was missing also. Later that night, Patrica and both chicks returned to the nest in the coop. This year, I am hoping for a broody hen or two. They keep their checks healthy and teach them everything they need to know. I was surprised my buff orpington hen didn't go broody. Maybe this year.
I'm hoping for one or 2 broody hens this season. I love ally chickens Wyandotte, buffs, red, and some barbs, and one Americana. I am about to take one of my roosters at. He got a LOT bigger than I thought. He's huge. My other is a Rhode island/ Americana mix.
Orpingtons are the Mother Hens of all time! My big Buff takes such loving care of her peeps that it makes my heart ache for my own mother.
@Susie_Floozie my goal was to only have buff orpingtons but I've not been able to achieve this yet.
What I did with my chicks in the brooder when they were around 10 days old was give them a dust bath. I just used a pie plate and some sand that I had, then I sifted some of the dirt from where we were building their coop and put a little bit of it in the sand. They absolutely loved it, those are some of my favorite videos of them it's just so darned cute! All 6 fit in the pie plate at the time. But my goal was to give them just a little taste of the outside life they would eventually be immersed in.
Fantastic idea! Can’t wait to try this!
I just started raising baby chicks for the first time. Only have two to add in to our other adults. They are about 3 weeks old and still in the brooder. One of them suddenly developed some leg weakness and wants to move around with her legs bent under her. I'm worried sick!! I've done everything right. I was told to give her Poultry Cell. They are such a joy and learning alot in the process. I hope my sweet Audrey "Henburn" is going to be ok!
Thank you so much for your videos! I got my first chicks almost 3 years ago and only lost one (she didn’t make it through the first week). I love my 9 hens and they bring me so much joy. Your videos and positivity have helped me learn and grow as a chicken keeper
Thank you so much!
Pasty butt was also something to look for in your home made brooder I had 8 barrocks and 8 road ilands chicks and only 4 barrocks got pasty butt but it’s like cement blocking there vent my barrocks would eat and rest where as my road iland would eat and run around more active I guess🙌
I just got a call from Barnes & Noble. I ordered your book because they didn't have any on the shelf. Olympia washington, it just arrived, i'm so excited to pick it up❤❤❤❤
Yay!! I hope you love it. ❤️
Your glasses are amazing!! Can't wait for my first baby chicks, buying a house soon in Florida (I'm in Colorado) and taking you along with me so you can teach me how to care for my first babies! (getting only 3 to start) ♥
Peace - Love - Chickens

I wasnt goimg to get new chicks, but I changed my mind❤
Haha it's very tempting!
Definitely have a plan for any roosters before hatching your own chicks. Great video as usual. With regards to the water, I use the canary waterers. No drowning risk with them.
Dahlia, I have been watching you since long before "that time we won't forget" and I think you are so sweet and knowledgeable. God bless you, grant you good health and wealth and happiness.😊❤.
I Love the babies! Chicks, ducks, goslings it doesn't matter, I just love them and I want ALL of them. The feed store where I buy all the feed for the farm has all kinds of chicks every year. It is So difficult for me to order feed and hear all that sweet cheep cheeping in the back ground and walk out without buying any. I already have a large flock and many of my hens will hatch out chicks, I just need to be patient.
Your love and passion for your chickens radiates from you! We are currently preparing to get backyard chickens. Purchased a used coop, that we want to modify and we need to build a chicken run before we can get our chickens. We have a lot of predator pressure so it’s super important to me that we have things set up correctly from the start. As a fellow Western Washington resident, I’m wondering if you have a good local source for chickens? I’m also thinking I’d like to get pullets rather than chicks. Any pros or cons to that approach that you care to share? Thank you for the educational and always entertaining videos!
Are you on any local chicken facebook groups? Seems like someone is always looking for homes for pullets in those. I do know someone local to me that is a breeder and her business is called Flower Feather Farms. You could check it out! :-)
@@WelcometoChickenlandia Thank you so much! I will definitely check them out. Great tip about a FB group. I gave up FB years ago but I’ll see if my daughter-in-law might be able to check for me. My folks live in Granite Falls so we make our way up north quite frequently from Auburn. I appreciate you for sharing your ideas, thank you.
very helpful video thanx 4 sharing be connected always
Have an old silky that never had her on . Got her from a friend she is mine and husbands sweetheart every time we have had a chicken go broody we she here the first peep she runs in a becomes mom's best friend and helps with babies . So now anytime we get babies she takes and raises them all she needs is to see and she falls in love .
All the years I have had baby chicks I never lost a baby chick. I was their mother hen and hovered over them to continually monitor them.
Very well done!
❤love your
Videos!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Madam President ❤ could you kindly explain how much and how often you give baby chicks fermented feed? I’ve watched your entire fermented feed playlist and it doesn’t explain how much, how often, & what’s the shelf life after the fermented feed is done.
You have convinced me in getting baby 🐣, i have my first 7 hens coming in April and I’m trying to indulge in all the information. (Leghorn, Black Copper Maran, Buff Orp, Jubilee Orp, Easter Egger, Olive Egger, & silver laced Wyandot)
I keep telling myself no baby chicks or ducklings this year. I'm not sure I can trust myself to not give in 😂.
How do you effectively integrate birds into your flock without someone suffering, trauma, or adding excess drama?
Is it possible to put the brooder in the chicken coop instead of keeping it in your house? I have a radiant light plate (like you do). I went overboard and had a carpenter build me a brooder that locks. So between the predator proof coop and the ultra safe brooder, would that work?
Just heard that hemp feed has been approved for chickens? Any thoughts?
Question! Is it ok to have soil with perlite in the brooder as a dust bath when they are little? I know it is rock but can it be used like grit? I used a fine sifted clay last year, they loved it but it flew everywhere.
I have a rooster that I just noticed that he has lost one ergot. Can it grow back?
Are you wearing braces? Look at you
Umm no, do I look like I'm wearing braces? LOL now I'm concerned!!
@@WelcometoChickenlandiamy bad. I thought you were wearing the Invisalign braces. I guess I should put my readers on while watching videos.
