My dad used to use bantams to hatch out pheasant and partridge chicks. He preferred bantams as surrogate mothers as they were smaller and lighter, partridge chicks are not much bigger than bumble-bees when newly hatched 😊
I have never had bantams but I have been told there are easy to go broody and they make very good moms.

Cutesville here, 11 baby chicks!!!! She's definitely a good Momma Turkey, first I heard of people switching chicken or duck eggs to turkey hens was my maternal grandma, she also liked to put duck eggs under her hens, when the ducklings would walk past a pond on my gramps' farm, all the ducklings would enter the water and the mother hen was so frantic and worried about her babies drowning in the cold, murky water, nothing happened unless there was an ol' snapper turtle, then rest assured before the day was over all the ducklings would have been eatened by the snapper! Ahhh,...such cute balls of brown down!
So I am not the first to miss with nature...lol
She is a very gentle Turkey I like when you whistle and Tom gobbles. LOL He says that's my woman and you've got her in a cage.
Its actually his mom not that he really cares about that...lol
amazing - you can really tell that she's 'concerned' about the chicks and keeping them warm and safe - watching them closely and bending her head down to keep in contact with them. never seen a mama turkey before. thanks :}
She has always been a good mom.

I keep finding your videos on accident and I’m very grateful for them popping out of nowhere. 🤷♀️🙆
Lucky accidents....lol
I love your videos!! If I have a rough day at work, I just come home and watch your adorable videos and I instantly feel better!! lol
Its always relaxing to watch the animals and the babies are a bonus.
Love your videos and you have a wonderful way with your birds. :)
Thank you.
Nice setup for the mom and babies. They look so relaxed and happy. Great job!
This is an awesome mom, and the babies learn to be the same from here actions.

Turkey's are best mom brids I know this best Turkey mom very nice mom I see keep this breed as continue with her eges
All the animals look very happy & content!!

Ur turkey mama is so wonderful & u can tell she loves babies any babies!!👍🏼🌞
I am worried about my baby chickens, have caught 3 so far, all different sizes.
@lifeinthailand I just move from the state a few years ago, now living in Cambodia with a Cambodia wife and just a few months ago we had our son. Watching all of yours videos and I have to say you are living the life. Trying to get my land and farm's animals to have some income coming in instead of going out. People think am crazy trying to be a country boy when you are from Detroit. Have to break that chain of 9 to 5 job and take a chance of doing what I always wanted to do. Watching you on CZcams sure help out
Roth Nick Cheng and
beautiful mommy. this vid made my day. lol at the greeting from Thomas at the end 😂
lol, Tom is awesome and a pain in the butt at the same time.....
Just started watching your videos and they are so sweet.
Thank you, glad you're enjoying the videos.
AWWWWcute guy with cuteee birds ,many love to all your cute birds and you .

My favorite youtuber! love your content! Best wishes for you, your family, and your beautiful farm animals❤
Thank you.
We have lots of baby chicks running around here currently, as well...including one freak chick born from a clutch of abandoned eggs. They will bond to the first creature they see as their mother (which for this little guy means me). So now this chick follows me around like I'm the mother.
That is how I ended up with Tom the quail turkey, he use to follow me around like a dog, he is over that now but took a long time.
I'll be cleaning my coops out this weekend too be working on that all weekend got my first flock going out in 12 days
Good luck with them.
Great video, learning a lot from them.
Thanks, how are your animals doing?
doing great, update video coming soon.
Love the way you bond with your animals.
Thanks.
Well done Paul. Always adding on or modifying. Best wishes Bob.
Always something going on around here...lol
Just beautiful! I love them! 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks.
Aww cute one eyed chicken!
Turkeys my favourite country animls!!!
I like them too, especially this mom, she has been awesome.
7:43 mark, that chick momma right in the eye! lol DEFINITELY cute! Don't get me wrong, puppies and kittens are GREAT, but something about baby chicks(ducks,hens,turkeys,etc)with their "peep-peeping" that always puts a smile on my face!😉👍🏻
I like all the babies, always fun to watch.
The sounds are so relaxing....
lol, Awesome.
She is a very good mama! I don’t understand people it’s just like they are adopting the eggs and then they are mamas!
Exactly.
I wish my others would’ve adopted my chicken nuggets when their mom died.. but at least they are in the incubator on day 19 (lock down.. 65-68% humidity and 100.00 Fahrenheit! Last candeling was the other night.. 13 out of 16 eggs air pockets are larger and can’t see through shells. And eggs are WAY lighter! Wish me luck!!! Babies in next 2-3 days!!!!
Good luck.
I loved your animal's videos ty for all updates
There will probably be more, just be patient.
You probably won't read this or event see this but I want to point something out. I myself own chickens and ducks and other birds. I find it interesting how you keep them all together. I would recommend you to separate all by ducks and chickens and then turkeys and all by ages at least that's what I do
That sounds racist.
And I read and reply to every comment.
There is no reason to separate the breeds, young one's yes for safety reasons.
I love this video
Awesome.
I got chickens before ( when I was still 7 year old). When I cooked them and ate them, the taste is different than the one I bought from the store.
Yell they do taste different, taste much better IMO.
yeah.
Keeps you busy for sure!
Always have more jobs than time.
I love turkeys
Me too.
my grandpa used to this type of thing too.but it’s the other way around.the chicken 🐔 sits on the turkey 🦃 eggs 🥚 and sometimes geese’s eggs 👍🏻
I have never raised geese, they make way too much noise for me, but I am sure a chicken can handle it.
Tener juntos a todos!!!!
Oh my God.
Looked it up for you; your Gold-star mama turkey is about upper-middle-aged. In captivity, domestic turkeys can live up to a little shy of 10 years, so 4-5 is up there, but not ancient. She might still have 2, maybe even 3 more good years of mothering in her, with good care. :) Thank you for ending the video on baby chickie cuteness
10 years seems like a long time but you never know, she is doing a very good job with these babies like she has done many many times before.
Well, it did say that 5-6 years was more common for females, but up to 10 is possible. She seems like just a natural mother :)
really nice setup :)
Thank you.
My hen came back today. She showed up on top of her cage!!
That is good, maybe she has a nest hidden somewhere.
oh my gawdd why u put chickens with turkeys dont u knowz that ur thats breaking mutha natureee!
Nah but seriously I enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort you go through for your animals.
Used to work on a farm myself and it's nice you have the bond with the animals rather than just seeing them as food/money.
One of the hardest things for me was taking the animals to the slaughter house, but it's the way of life. Thanks again!
Never easy killing the animals you raise but it is a part of it, I feel a little better knowing I gave them the best life I could and in doing so they well be delicious at the other end.
lifeinthailand just found your videos love them. When you whistle to tom my parrots make the same noise the turkey makes. Keep them coming. From the uk.
Nice bird set up you got here.
Thank you.
Very cool
Thanks.
I've seen this before
chickens and Turkey's Ducks do this alot it's very common for them to do this they care of each other kids
Does happen a lot around here......
pretty cool
Thank you.
She is a real broody mama laying eggs for years. Where r those chick ? They should be good mama by now.
No eggs from these chickens yet but should be very soon.
are they always living in enclosed area or you let them out? our free range coulpe call ducks, that are always outside that gets meals in the evenings have wet feathers and are dirty compare to yours which are clean but closed. Now bare in mind that we in ireland where rains a lot, but we have a shelter for them to hide and roost, but we have only two, maybe they need a company, which we are planning on... what your ideas on that? thank you if you reply :)
I always have a few birds free range but I have very little space so I bring the birds fresh greens every day, just doing the best I can for them, there healthy and happy, most of all safe.
Nice
That's not so strange, a turkey hatching chickens. My grandfather used to give vodka to a big old male goose. He would fall asleep and then we put a dozen of chicken eggs for him to hatch. It worked as long as he was drunk.
Would need a lot of vodka to be successfull... lol
wow! thats a huge bunch of work for only one day! gracious! you are working hard! Its lookignreally good... where is your maggot barrel? Is it not there in the barn? wont the rats eat the babies???? Oh I love your mama turkey! shes such a good mommy :) ummm - how is it messing with nature for a turkey to sit on eggs??? hmmm... good luck with the heat there - feeling sorry for you - drink lots of water :)
Still have the maggot farm but it is empty for now, rats could get the babies so I need to get the rats, got 3 so far, would help if I know how many were in there....lol
I betcha its gunna be really hard to get the rats and not some nosy duck or chicken! lol Good luck :)
That sounds very interesting, chickens eat rats too but they have to catch them, any I catch I give to the birds.
+lifeinthailand are u worried about the rats getting to the babies?
Use pitfall traps for the rats. Like buckets and things. The chickens wont be able to die in them
very nise birds
They sure are nice.
very nice
Thanks.
thanks
Thank you.
Awww lil fluffy chicks. Sooo cute. Ya Florida is getting hot. It was in the mid 80s today. Summer is going to kill
Raining here now, maybe the rainy season is coming early.
your farm so nice
Thank you.
I every night see your videos then go to sleep saw sweet dreams thanks 🙏
Awesome, thanks.
It is a great achievement.
Thank you.
WELCOME
Mcdonald fried chicken commercial just popped out after i clicked this video lol the irony
lol, hope you watched it....
A turkey can live 11-15 years depending on breed and health.
I love turkey
lol
I love this turkey mama. Does she have a scar or injury to her beak or is that spot normal?
No, I don't remember any issues with here. She is retired now and lives with the chickens.
@@lifeinthailand looking at it closer I think it was just her nostrils! Grateful for your videos.
Hi there, you just poped in to my computer. Your birds are very nice. I love birds myself. How long you are living in Thailand? It is hot all year around?
I moved here in 2004, it is always hot, sometimes it is very hot...lol
mix turkey, duck,chicken...the plan is..if duck egg needs 27 days and hen need 21,put ducks eggs and then after 7 days put the hen..... that's how you will make a mixture
Moscovy ducks are 35 days but easy to do, have hatched chickens and turkeys together before.
The snakes will come to catch the rats, cute babies and momma
I don't like snakes.....
I have a turkey and a duck on the same nest of turkey and duck eggs. I'm curious as to what's going to happen when they all hatch.
They will probably raise them as 1 big family, I have had that happen a few times, even with the babies being a week apart, the 2 mom's will work together.
good
How many hours do you put in per day on your homestead? At the end of the year is it profitable , either relative or absolute?
Normal day maybe an hour to do every thing, but some days it has to be all day. I don't look at it in terms of money, it is not a good way to make money, not here anyway, But I get food that money can't buy, I have some of the best food in the country plus I know my animals had a good life, could be better for sure but most are not this lucky.
***** Yes I totally get what you mean. That's why I asked if the profit is absolute or relative. Not money but a whole lot of other returns 👍👍
Yes for sure. Just a few days ago KFC announced that they well stop selling chicken that has been feed human growth hormones, there are so many crazy things in our food now it is insane, knowing where your food came from and what it ate is priceless IMO.
As of right now I see 261 thumbs down. What is wrong with the video? We see a turkey adopting different species birds with love.
Lots of sad people out there, maybe they need a hug....lol
Cute
you're videos are so interesting. I'm pretty new to your channel and I was just curious if you yourself have lived in Thailand your whole life just because of how well your English is and that it Dilantin really carry an accent. I was also curious if English is just a common language spoken in Thailand in general judging by some of your other videos. Thanks 😊
I am Canadian, Have lived here 13 years, not much English in Thailand and none in this area.
lifeinthailand thank you for your response 😊
nuce little chicks
They sure are cute.
WOWO
nice
Thanks.
0:17 -- that turkey on the left is such a magnificent bastard!!
And he knows it....lol
The average lifespan of a wild turkey is 3-5 years, and the oldest known wild turkey lived to be at least 13 years old.
Interesting, this old girl is looking her age now, in the wild she would probably not survive anymore.
Check out Shawn Woods.... he does a lot of mouse and rats traps.... you should be able to find something that will work. He has a nice bamboo trap that he made.
Well check him out.
I well make the bucket trap first, easy enough, water pipe over a piece of rebar, should be fine, have caught one in a bucket with a floating bait already, the bamboo trap might have to be a workshop project, that is interesting.
Phrog Flyer lmao I watch Shawn woods too😂
Where are you originally from or where else have you lived?
From Canada, have been all over the world but have only lived in Canada and Thailand.
I knew it! At first I was thinking USA but then I sensed a hint of Canadian accent in there. Thanks for the reply man!
lol, no problem.
Do the turkeys not fly out?
No, they could if they wanted too.
I have four chickens in my house and these are their names and colors :
Brown: Freya
Black: Loki
Yellow: Balder & Nana
You should see my uploads
Sounds like fun.
@@lifeinthailand I am uploading a special video for you
👍👍👍👍👍😊
How much do you need for brown turkeys adults
How much What?
Really, do people really say stuff like that? wow. In the wild, animals do the same thing. In the USA we have a bird called a Cow Bird and she is a very lazy sorry mom. She proves it by the way she gets her babies hatched. She finds an Eastern Bluebird nesting in a house and throws the bluebirds eggs out and lays hers and the bluebird hatches and raises them. Also, as you know sometimes when a monkey loses her baby she will grab a cat/kitten to replace it. Stuff happens like that all the time. Some moms are just better than others. The place looks much better so much poop moved in a short time. Take it easy in that heat.
Lots of strange people on the internet and they come with some strange ideas on how things should be done....lol
A Layne انل
I don't know about my rooster though. I just got him the other day from a lady who was giving them away
Unless he is very old he should get the job done.
حلو
Ok
Ohhh! That was the turkey who thought he was a quail? In the next pen over? Isn't that something! lol :)
lol, he has been in a lot of videos.
Quail-Turkey? Surely a Quirky?! ;)
lol
where's your farm?
Thailand.
I like
Thank you.
He is still running around somewhere
Sounds about right.
Geese and guinea fowls
Both way to loud to have next to the house. I had guinea fowl for about a year.
@@lifeinthailand but some will not do much
Who doesn't like babies? ...including Mama turkey. :-)
This was the best momma turkey, but she is retired now.
lifeinthailand Is that another word for "dinner" ? 555
lol, normally but not in this case, this one is safe.
I can't bare 30 degrees, I would faint at 38 lol
A lot of ignorant people that's for sure, even wild animals take care of orphan babies sometimes!
People seem to get there animal experience from Disney movies, so many people have no clue what there talking about.
38 is a little warm......lol
Ok can u deliver it to me? How many my mom and I want one. Somebody stole our chicken and rooster today
Sorry about that, some people are not very nice that is for sure. There is no way I can deliver you a chicken though, sorry.
😲😲😲😍😍😍
she is a broody bird I got to get the new house made before I start hatching... Still haven't got my rat/rats.. Just think of the food that crap will produce for you makes it all worthwhile ;-)
Rice grow with the power of duck shit......lol
Should be delicious....
Get to work and get that quail house built, what are you waiting for......
I have a broody chicken, I think I well give her some quail eggs and see what happens, after I said my quail had slowed down laying they kicked it into high gear, eggs going everywhere.
***** no sideways rain was hoping to start last weekend .chicken quail sound interesting lol . The quail must have heard you had other plans for them😳
We had a good rain storm last night, strange for this time of year, and my roof that I had repired leaked again, damn it, looks like you you want it done right you have to do it yourself. work shop no problem, thank god for that...lol
***** snow down to 1000 meters here... I only work in rain when I am getting paid
