So, I just had a 7 month old Black Australorp who became broody and her afection to her eggs was perfect. She didn't get out of the nest I had to seat infront of her twice per day to feed her and to give her water. We had 14 besutiful babies.
I found the video. Didn't realized I had already watched it. I was hoping Miss Sally would be able to hatch that clutch. Hopefully the three remaining will make it.
Thank you for your videos!! I only have two hens they are free range and share a small coop with two nesting boxes. One is broody and now sitting on 6 fertile eggs (I purchased). My question is... do I need to separate my broody hen even though I only have one other chicken?? Sorry if this is a silly question.
I love silkies, and I want some so badly. lol I got some buff orpingtons because I had just black autralorps and everything I read said that BA's didn't go broody. Well my BA's went broody like crazy.
I meant to ask how the eggs that you marked with permanent marker are doing. Did Miss Sally take to those eggs? Have they hatched yet? I didn't see an update to that video. Thank you Patara for all your great informative videos. I've learned a lot by watching them.
Thanks for another great video! Does your turkey have free rein with all of the chickens? How well does that work out? I believe you said a while back that you've had him for a little while and you only had the one turkey. Have/would you consider having more than one turkey at a time?
I have my broody hen in my brooder in my kitchen. So i can keep an eye on her. When she want to go potty she gets off her nest walks to the other side and jumps up and down to get my attention. Then i take her outside for 45 mins.
I love seeing all your chickens but my favorite is Miss Sally. She's absolutely beautiful! What type of chickens were your first? I think I remember you saying you started with six. Is that correct? Would silkies be a good starter chicken?
the wife and I are starting homesteading with chickens (10) we have a brooder , she does good . we are worried about her brooding in the winter months. your thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated . thanks ahead of time . we love your videos !!!!
This may sound like a strange question but can a person make a chicken coop out of a metal shed?I'm getting chickens for the first time this spring and I'm wanting to make broody/ separate places for my chickens.
Patara , I just love Miss Sally the Silkie but I am dying to know if Miss belle is back yet ...I have never farmed in my life but I love to listen to everything you have to say .....I am so sorry about your husband ....but if there is anything I can do to help please let me know .....Love, Annie :-)
I have one hen that was laying well and then just stopped out of no where and has become broody. How do I get her to start laying again? It's been three weeks
Patera, how can you break a broody hen? I have tried everything, she has no eggs, we have no rooster and I'm really afraid she will die! No eating, no drinking for weeks now. She will let me move her but its right back to the nest as quick as she can. I have tried everything suggested by everyone on the web but no luck. please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks for all you do.
I put mine in a coop inside the chicken house so she could still see everybody but couldn't get to her nest for a couple of days and she quit but went into molt.
+ric woodie thanks so much for your reply! I tried that, she is so determined! I have buff orpingtons and they tend to be broody but she is something else, never seen any chicken like her!
Actually no. Mr. Peaches and Cochise do an excellent job. Now, I have had a big black snake.... I keep him around as we have copperheads and timber rattlers on the bluff. I mow a LOT also... AND... I shut my barn and coop every night.
My question is I have broody hen "Comet" Little GIRL.....noticed a difference in her about a week ago. I lost my Rooster about 2 months ago so her eggs are not fertilized. What do I do? Pull away from her clutch for a few days? Will she go back to be normal. Blessings
Thanks so much for this post! Im in Italy, english, first time with a broody hen here, this helps a lot!! Lots of love from Italy.

Timeless information. I appreciate how you deliver your information. This is how I do it... Keep trying... You will learn as you go...
Patara, I love the way you treat your animals, you are So Cute with them, love your channel and you!!
I love your patience for your animals!! It’s my first video I’ve seen on your channel
I love visiting your barn and seeing the beautiful birds.
I found the video. Didn't realized I had already watched it. I was hoping Miss Sally would be able to hatch that clutch. Hopefully the three remaining will make it.
Love hearin all the animals!
I learn so much from you videos - fantastic turkey there at the end
My pawpaw always bring his in the house. Kind of weird huh!!! Have a great day!!!?
My dad used to dip broodies in the creek to break them.
That was to cool the breast of the bird.
"recorded in front of a live barn audience" great stuff ;)
Question from Alberta Canada - looking for different views on feed for baby chicks. Homemade recipes? Medicated vs non medicated? Much appreciated.

calvin wisdom - hens usually wait till the weather warms up before going broody. They know better than we do how to raise off-spring with nature!
Is the crazy turkey going to be gracing the Thanksgiving table? He is a beauty.
KEEP TEACHING I'M STILL LEARNING GOD BLESS

make sure you have enough ventilation. Windows with hardware cloth on them - LOTS of them!
Yes!! I borrowed my neighbors metal shed with vents it worked great!!
precious!

Hello. New at this, wondering what is D E ?? Please and thank you
Shanda Turman Diatomaceous Earth you will want to use food grade it can be found at most feed stores
Is Mr. Turkey going to be Thanksgiving dinner???🦃
Ok, ok, ok, ok , ok, ok?👌
When do I fly back to school
Do you have problems with snakes and if so what do u do about it
Actually no. Mr. Peaches and Cochise do an excellent job. Now, I have had a big black snake.... I keep him around as we have copperheads and timber rattlers on the bluff. I mow a LOT also... AND... I shut my barn and coop every night.
Appalachia's Homestead who is Mr. peaches. I seen my first black snake today and afraid it's going to get my eggs
Mr. Peaches is my farm cat and Cochise is my Great Pyrenees. Can you lock up your coop? I would move him to another location if you can't.
Appalachia's Homestead yes but not snake proof yet would moth balls work.
Billy Pressley Did anyone suggest buying a fish cage from WalMart?
