I hand-raised six ISA Browns from chicks this year, and you are absolutely right, they are the friendliest chickens we've ever had, and we get five to six eggs a day from them. It is sad that they don't have longer life spans; I've really bonded with them.
My ISA Brown is named Olive. My husband got her for me for Mother’s Day probably 3 years ago. She is amazing. She lays ginormous eggs! And pretty much an egg a day. She is very sweet and very curious girl, we just expanded our coop and are going to be getting a few more ISA browns because they are amazing.
We have 3 and they quickly became our favorites. They’re top of the pecking order, but they’re also the sweetest with people. They also lay well year round.
I have 40 Isa browns on our small farm and what you stated is correct. They are the best laying hen I've ever had. They are great layers of extra large brown eggs. Very consistent.
I have two isa browns and thay are super friendley and very dosile loveing hens thay always run up to me when thay see me making a very happy humming sound simultaneously thay loved to be stroked and picked up for a cuddle but when it cums to picking them up thay like ferm but gentle grip with your hands over there wings holding them between your arms and cest to make them feel secure thay love attention if you pick them up without a ferm grip over there wings thay will flap and end up getting a wing in your face that feel like being slapped with a wet flannel there wings are very strong so picking them up with a ferm grip around there wings makes them feel safe and secure and thay are the best egg layers, but thay love there food thay are very big eaters thay love hotdogs and bananas with there layer pellet food thay do have very big appetites but i love to spoil them thay are chickens with big hearts and big personalities
We rescued 16 hens from an egg farm. Some of them have warmed up to us and are very sweet. We are working with them to try and get their feathers back. They were pretty sparse and nakey. They have been really good for our kids though. (Affectionate and sweet for the most part)
That is nice of you,,ive seen some of the chicken live,,they said size of sheet of paper,, I have 5 that I bought,they about 3 months old,,I think I'd rather rescue some,,I need bigger place
I just have a couple of chicks. They're really friendly but also very forward in what they want. Easy to tell these two are going to be some characters and a hoot to have around.
We got duped into buying these hybrid hens that aged out of a commercial farm from a crooked farmer who said they were 11 months old. We only figured it out when they weren't laying what they should be laying, and they looked horrible like they were going through a severe molt where most of their neck feathers were missing, and we noticed their beaks were clipped. I can only imagine the horrors on these egg-laying farms. At least they have a good home with us to live out the rest of their life.
We currently have two ISA browns. They are the sweetest birds and they lay nice size dark brown eggs. We named them maple and Goldie. We plan to go in a couple weeks and get four more.
I have five isa chickens,they are truly a great fit for me. Since i got a rooster though,he is aggressive to people an wil not let me hold my chickens an pet them anymore.
The birds in this video look like we call Golden Comets. I have seven total, three I got in September 2022, the other four about 8 weeks ago. The three I got last years nearly never miss a day laying eggs...in the last two months there has only been 3 day that I only got two eggs from them for the day. Two of my little ladies I've taught to fly up on my forearm to eat snacks. Princess and Little Red fly up on command. For some reason I can't get Lacy to do it. Little Red will sit on my forearm and left me pet her after the snacks are gone! I also have a Easter Egger that is 6 weeks old and she will fly up into my hand to get a snack!
My ISA Brown hens rarely miss a day in presenting an egg. They are friendly and funny. However, trying to introduce an equal number of golden comet pullets just one year younger has been brutal. They want nothing to do with the new ones and don’t want to share anything. We will have to make a separate coop and pen for the new hens.
I know this is an old post. Yes, you need to keep them separate until they get to know each other. Ideally, in an ajoining coop, then put them together.
Which is the best hatchery to order ISA Brown? My uncle in KS has 6 ISA's, and diligently records daily, and states that they all gave 361 eggs a year! One thing he does is also feed some sprouted triticale daily.
Isa brown are by far the best chickens we ever had. They're so sweet.

how long is the life span
@@josephromanvaleros2936if you treat them well, they live up to 8 years
3-7 years
They only produce eggs when they are around 3-5 (from my experience)@@josephromanvaleros2936

They are amazing. So sweet, hardy and lay so many eggs! We have 9 retired battery hens and enjoy letting them range and live the good life.

Great video and I rescued 2 Isa Brown ex battery hens and I love them so much 🥰
What are "battery" hens? Thanks, I've not heard that term before.
Yeah they are friendlier than my other breeds I have. She like me to pick her up. The other breeds run away. Lol

Thanks for the informative video! Very well done!
I love my ISAs
Sweet video. You should do a video on the Red Sex Link chicken that's kinda like the ISA brown.
Just bought Isa browns to check
Question-what would be the laying habits of a hen that had an ISA brown mother and father?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Can I keep Rhode reds and Isa in the same coop? Brand new to chicken life and I'm trying to find info on which birds will be best together
broooo
Some of those pictured are hyline browns, not isa. And no, they don't live for eight years. Two to three years is realistic.
If not what would you recommend for me for meet purposes

Are we supposed to allow them go broody
Excellent video
Where do you buy these chickens?
ISA Brown and Lohman Brown are Same?? Pls explain.
Not the same....
Isa is french ...lohmann is german
@@Hamzaa5555 thank u. Do i believe these two breeds are egg factories?
Are ISA browns and golden comets same breeding?
Would you recommend them for meat
Thank you bro 1 chichens money
Am i the only one who thought they were going for "Is a brown chicken"?
How can i buy authentic eggs from Bangladesh?
Mine are almost 2 and laying is slowing down.
What age do they start laying
Mine started laying when they were about 4-5 months old
Twenty weeks and then an egg every single day without a miss. I’ve had two birds for seven months.
In parents ....white is female and brown is male
They lay huge eggs my girls average 60 70 gram eggs
Merck???? The pharma Merck??? Ugh
Don’t put the isa browns with other chickens
They are not a nice that’s for sure
