The order in which the chickens leave the coop has changed a bit since my wife last recorded a morning video. The barred rocks head out first!
Pretty Eggers!

The chickens get to carve a pumpkin of their own! They've had some help starting, but the second mouth is all their doing! Those eggers sure are looking pretty, too. Thanks to my wife for filming this one!
Look at this! I'm so ticked off that I'm MOLTING!

If you're new to the channel, you might not know how I round up all the chickens. Do I chase them down one by one? Nope! I make them want to return to the coop!
Chickens out!

With the days getting shorter, it's kind of becoming the case that the only days I have time to let them out are on the weekends.
Where's the shell?!

We haven't seen this yet! It's apparently fairly common, though. Could be a sign they're starting to molt! It's not safe to eat, but it's still pretty cool!

Nice video man, great job👍🏼
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great as usual watching has done wonders for my stress thank you David
Howdy from Texas! Days are shorter here and chilly in the mornings!
Hello! Same story up here! We've been bringing in the water at night so it doesn't freeze.
Delorian is beginning to look his old self again.
Can't wait for another few weeks!
Haha! I'm such a Disney fan I got the quote (from Iago). I hope the one hen that decided to sleep in is feeling better.
I love checking in on my chickens, feisty little things <3
they look so funny while they're molting!
I can't wait for them to look pretty with a fresh new coat of feathers!
Great as always thank you That sneezing delorian was doing was probably trying to dislodge a seed of bit of grass from the nostrils. When we had chickens my dad would only use wheat straw fir bedding as the "hands" in barley straw can cause a lot of this sort of irritation Also if a barley grain still has the "hand" attached it can get stuck in the chickens throat.
Yep! They love eating the seed off the grass that we don't mow. It's just pretty funny to hear a chicken sneeze!
😊😊❤
Enjoyed the close up shots - trust Delorian to show he's still the stud of the flock right as you zoomed in!

Do you adjust your clocks in October. In the Uk we put clocks back 1 hr so mornings are lighter but its dark by 5pm
They adjust in early November.
My dad used to use the term "treading" to describe the mating..you can see why!
Poor ole Delorian looks a shadow of his former self! Strange how they replace plummage as the cooler weather starts
I'm sure he'll return to his former glory soon enough!
Great video been having a rough time lately and so it's so relaxing to just sit and watch and listen to the chickens. Thank you
Any time you need to take a breath, stop on by!
Sun's out, Hen's out!
I would like to do something same farm as u, can I get advice from u?
I'm not an expert, but you're free to ask!
what happened to Rooster's tail?
Not sure! Either the hens are picking on him, or he's molting. I guess it's possible the hawk did it, but I'm told he was quiet when it happened.
Amazing how much dirt they shift with every sweep of their feet
He's temporarily losing his feathers but his chirp is as great as always. Great video.
Yeah, I think we're coming into molting season. At least I hope so!
The beautiful little dinosaurs
That Hawk is so cheeky ! Just completely brazen! Very sorry that this has happen.
OMG! That hawk is so large!
And from what I understand, not fully grown, either!
Delorian is losing his feathers so is looking a bit moth eaten!
Yeah, he looks a little run down. I'm sure he'll be gorgeous again by spring!
Did no one hear a commotion when this was happening - surely Dorian would have gone nuts ? One of those things.
That's the strange part! I wasn't home at the time it happened, but nobody who was home heard anything. I wonder if Delorean was already in the coop and waiting for everyone to join him when one of the hens snuck out of the run outside of his line of sight. I imagine it would have been a quick kill by the hawk.
Delorian crowing in defiance - a great sound. Not been able to watch your excellent vids for a while so was shocked to see the hawk tucking into one of your hens - which one was it ? It's a real mystery how the hawk got it and only thing I can think of is that person who shut them in miscounted and one was left out. Do let us all know if you find the reason.
It was Sharon. And our best guess is she snuck out (got chased out?) through the space between the extension and the original run.
This is definitely a juvenile Red Tailed Hawk. My best guess is this hawk is trying to hunt on its own without the parents helping it. It is also possible this is a migrant hawk that’s already left the nesting area. After traveling hundreds of miles, this hawk is so hungry that it doesn’t care what else happens as long as it gets the meal. I will say, a hawk without much hunting experience has a less likely chance of survival and only 10% of juvenile Red Tailed Hawks make it through the first Winter. This hawk also ate very late in the day. Other hawks would roost way earlier than this hawk did. I can see how dark it was while the hawk was still eating in your other video.
Thanks for all the info! I did suspect that it was a little desperate to be so seemingly unafraid.
Pretty disconcerting how calm it is with you in its presence. Maybe time to fence an area of the yard off and get a guard dog?
I did try to give it space. I don't think a fence would have helped in this case, as surely the hawk came in from above. This *is* why we only let them out of the run when we're outside with them, but Sharon managed to sneak out.
i'm so sorry! i thought people being around would deter them? youre able to stand next to him with no problems???
I would have thought so too! Our best guess is that he (or she?) was just really hungry and I wasn't presenting enough of a threat. I did stay about 10-12 feet away as I circled around. I'd imagine it's a lot of work for a bird of prey to get a meal, so he's going to guard it as much as possible. Given that raptors can be pretty vicious with their claws, I wasn't going to bother the hawk too much anyway!
❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad to see these chickens enjoying outside world as the psychological impact of the images of chickens in factory farms still hurts.
Eggscellent
New hens are totally part of the flock now alls well
Great video as usual. I'd imagine the rain will bring worms nearer to the surface
Probably. They don't usually have too much trouble finding them regardless. I think scratching the ground with their claws also brings the worms up to the surface.

Great tour, looks like a nice chicken porch. I hope they stay safe. Raccoons do like to climb, so that zone where the original coop touched the extension up high might be a weak spot.
Thanks! I thought about making a cross bar, but the hardware cloth is pretty sharp and pretty close. I think a raccoon would take a lot of damage trying to fit through it.
Great video..has Delorian mated with new hens yet ?
I haven't seen him successful yet, but I'm pretty sure Sharon is ready!
And we all know Delorian is able!
Chào bạn. Và cảm ơn 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow it looks so nice!!
Thanks! :)
Enjoyable video, thank you!
Hello there!
Soo cute 😊❤
my girl Amelia is being friendly to the newbies <3
Great video as always - was it really warm as I noticed quite a few panting with their bills slightly open ?
Yes. It's been quite hot the past few days! (About 90°F / 32°C) Although I haven't been recording it, both sets of chickens have been getting ice/fruit treats near the hottest part of the day, and I keep changing the water out daily so they have nice, cool water to drink, too!
the babies are so big now!
And it only took them 18 weeks! :D
Delorian was pretty quiet considering the 4 new opportunities! Excellent as always thank you
Instead of putting a pad on chickens back to keep the rooster from pulling its feathers,just super glue a turtle shell on it.simple but effective.🫣🫣🫣🫣
Or maybe give her her own giant hamster ball? 🤔
Great video. As vocal as ever old Delorian fantastic. Can you tell us the day the flocks will be joined ?
I let them both out at the same time today. The video is uploading as I type this! They interacted a bit, but went back to their own separate coops in the end. We'll have a few more play dates before they're forced to be roommates, I think. :)
Great video as usual even for Delorian he was keeping up a running commentary in the background!
I think he was a little miffed they didn't go out first!
