Happiest little fluffy dinosaurs.

Great information

Oh my, they even chase the string like cats! Quails look like jumpy fluffballs running around and chirping - there's something in the sight that makes you smile. If they weren't so messy pets, I'd get myself a few right away. Thanks for sharing this.

Happy chickies!

❤❤❤

Just curious, what exactly is the mixture of greens you are serving your feather babies. :)

I agree❤❤

Wonderful! Thank you!

They're soooo cute!!!

Цип цип🙂❤

My run is on an allotment that previously had green houses on. I have sieved through the ground several times and removed all the glass that i can find, however i am sure there is still glass there, how dangerous to the chickens is this?

Excellent ty

"I love chickens Eddy"

I love chickens plz don't eat meat to much

Chickens are warm. My neighbor has one that decided it just loves me and escapes often to come sit on my feet and snuggle. They don't mind so long as I return it and they let me name it Nuggernaut

great chicken care

I also had three roosters, they also loved to be cuddled like this and would sit on my lap, sleep on my lap. When I sat down to eat, they ate my food. Mango, watermelon, cucumber were their favorite. They were very loved. I miss them so much when I see videos like this, I still miss them.😣

so cute. we have 12 Barred Rock chickens, 2 roos, 10 pullets, almost full grown. We put a baby cam in the coop for saftey reasons but it's just as fun to watch their behavior and listen to their sleep talk and occasional trill-snore. George, the biggest roo, hadn't developed his full grown cockadoodle doo ... it was more like ACCCCCKKKKK!!!!! We'd left the cam's volume up too loud last week and awakened to that, sounded like someone was being murdered. Oh my gosh it was so funny. He starts up around 4 am and that volume is turned down. Both George and Wilson crow, and quite differently. As for cuddles, George loves cuddles, Wilson is not so much for them. We hand raised them from three days and handled them a lot once their moving fear subsided. They'll follow us wherever we go and some really like to use us as portable perches, get cuddled, but others bawkbawkbawk even when we are slow, gentle picking them up. But offer some blueberries and all bets are off. Every chicken is now your best friend and perching on you, or they'll play blueberry football. Tucking them under my arm is the best way to calm a chicken down and I can pet her or him. They are very curious and completely unafraid, and as a group they'll chase small animals out. However they tolerate one particular squirrel and pal around with him. Interesting creatures. Fun to watch. Then there's the one who comes to the front door when she can't find her tribe because she wasn't paying attention and squawk so we can point them out. And then there's 'the loner.' Always one in a group.

No new videos? 🥺

i wish i could build a paradise for male chicks, i want to save them, raise them as family pets, look after them give them the best life possible, sadly bury them when they pass away naturally, but they fight? is there really nothing i can do to stop that?

omg i can't, they're so cute!

Why this music though? 😭

all creatures are the makings of the God.

Great video..I enjoyed that.

When we redesigned our food production system to accommodate a larger demand we assumed previous strategies were clearly useless. What occurred is not progress. Progress is building on the successes of the past what we did was actually a total replacement thus it appears humanity is forcing the entire world to make old mistakes yet again...

The truth behind this situation became obvious when I witnessed how interested everyone was with the story up until i became willing to document what i was seeing... once everyone realized i new precisely what i was talking about they did everything in their power to ignore the genuine cause i was describing whilst doing their best to divert my attention elsewhere.....Which tells me everyone knows precisely what I witnessed and wanted to pretend it didn't occur at all...rather than to admit anything.....UGLY REAL UGLY....

I'm a man! for me personally sex is an extension of my ability to express love,,,, Want to hear what mess sounds like? Get an honest description of what sex is to modern women....if you manage to get someone willing to be transparent with you,, You will hear words like leverage, transaction, duty, bate, negotiation, bribery, incentive, etc etc etc The world is far uglier than we are willing to expose, so we use other forms of language to discredit those with enough vision and balls to say what they see...words like conspiracy theorist,, whistle blower,, and fantasizer etc etc etc . how is such a narrative spread? by pushing people like Alex Jones or Edward Snowden into the public consciousness to encompass those new language adaptions thus the population at large instantly create an opinion of anyone given that label...It's called just in case methods of closing doors before anyone else considers opening them....You are not even a registered curiosity,,, these petty strategies are NOT beyond you at all.....I witnessed it first hand,,,, in fact I think I might still have the paperwork to prove it too....if I am to spent eight hours a day five days a week until retirement with people it should be because I'm totally comfortable with doing so,, if I feel forced to describe situations where others have used my employment history against me to put me into compromising situations on purpose I should not have to endure name calling and off key labelling because of it.....the answer is no,,,, ,those people and that place are not for me..

if they would poop in a litterbox like cats, they would be the best pets i let my 4 girls into the house during a thunderstorm, they pooped like 10 times within an hour lol, i know there are diapers for them but they really dont like wearing them

Very Cute Hens, I Like All 💞

Can anyone say the background music's name?

So lovely! I do the same with my hens🐓🐣❤️

I'm sitting down watching this video and thinking how cute and adorable the chickens are, how happy and content they are and how heart-melting is to see them being loved. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying some chicken from Popeye's. 🤣🤣🤣

😋 Yummy

Excellent video!!! Thank you!!

you are wrong about isolating the victim-you need to isolate the culprit..

Exactly what I was looking for. Hi from Sydney

wonderful information- thank you!

I would just cook them when they are that size

Congratulations. You actually do look after your birds properly unlike some of the other keeper on You Tube who really don't put their words into practice. We have lots of space so our are out and about but they still need care. Thanks a lot

Really informative video thankyou

I dont know why but men...i love chickens...funny and cute.

Aaaa I want hugs from my hens too 💕💕

ive owned a dog from a pup till she was 17, my chickens the only pet that fills that gap 10 years on

Very good advice and video. Thanks!😊

Poor chicken babies grieving over their rooster 💔

"Scientists have discovered that birds are able to process complex information because their brains are more densely packed with neurons than many mammals (with similar sized brains)... Avian brains can regenerate neurons without sustaining an injury… (which is why scientists want to replicate this unique ability to cure depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and other conditions that affect the human brain)... With this ability to erase and replace the neurons in their brains, chickens are able to recognize as many as 100 other chickens at a time” (Caughey, 108). “In a study at Silsoe Research Institute in England, chickens were shown to have the ability to delay gratification by putting off an immediate but minor benefit in preference of a later but larger payoff. Hens were trained to push buttons that resulted in the opening of a door that allowed access to feed. 93 percent of hens in this study chose to wait an extra 6 seconds before pressing the button, in order to gain an extra 22 seconds of access to their feed. The chickens had learned that a longer wait resulted in a noticeably bigger payoff” (Caughey, 109). Caughey describes how she learned that her chickens call her by a unique name, unlike any other bird chime: “The first three sounds are low, and the last one is almost an octave higher: Bup, bup, bup, baaahhhh. They use this sound when they see me, when they want something from me, and when they are snuggling in my lap” (Caughey, 45). A chicken’s beak “has a high concentration of sensory nerves and touch receptors” (Caughey, 86), which helps the bird in not only feeding, but also courting, preening, socializing, manipulating objects, and even navigation! Chickens also have a keen sense of smell that helps them distinguish individuals and identify others they are genetically related to. This ability prevents inbreeding within a flock (Caughey, 88). “Neuroscientist Harvey Karten of the University of California, San Diego mapped out the parts of the chicken brain that have to do with listening. He discovered that much like the human brain, the chicken brain forms columns of different types of interconnected cells, creating microcircuits between them. These arrangements are virtually identical to those found in mammals! It turns out that birds are much more capable of complex thought processes than was previously believed” (Caughey, 102). “Chickens can easily and quickly distinguish geometric shapes! Clicker-trained to peck at one of four different shapes, chickens in one study could always pick their shape out of the grouping, no matter how the shapes were arranged. When their particular shape was removed, the chickens looked quizzically for it and would not peck at other shapes. When the correct shape was reintroduced, they pecked at it as taught” (Caughey, 113). Chickens form strong social bonds with each other, and look to humans as parental figures (much like dogs and cats): “Some roosters will inform chicken owners that a stray hen is still outside the coop, unattended to. One rooster even knocked on the sliding door of the house to notify his human that danger was in the yard and the flock needed help” (Caughey, 117). Chickens are sentimental animals with a complex grieving process. After Caughey’s hen Sunshine passed away, she noticed that her other hen, Oyster Cracker, became withdrawn. Oyster Cracker then died six months later, from what Caughey believes was in part due to a broken heart (Caughey, 128). “As a hen nears the end of her natural life, she often goes off and finds a quiet place away from the rest of her flock. During this time, the other members visit and ‘chat’ through verbalization and body language. They hang their heads low to get on eye level with the dying chicken. Their coos are quiet, soft mutterings that you have to lean into to hear- chicken whispers. “I watched some hens try to motivate Tilly by carefully scratching in the coop’s pine shavings right in front of her, as if to say ‘Get up, please’... For days after a hen dies, it is common for those who were closest to her to mourn the loss of their friend. They call out, using the same sound that means ‘where are you?’ when they are free-ranging in the yard and can’t find a missing member of the flock” (Caughey, 138). “Love is a universal language, and anyone who loves chickens knows that they speak it too” (Coughey, 142).
