    If feel so sorry for that poor chick! You can see in previous videos that she goes for the death grip, so she is clearly still too young to be handling them. I understand that she wants to be involved, but your boys have always been naturally more gentle and the safety of the chicks is the most important thing. Hopefully once she is a bit older, she can learn to handle them correctly.

    I have encountered many death grips in the past with children around, thankfully this one survived. This happens a lot, but you have to take care and teach the children how to take care by caring them. I loved how you are nurturing them and slowly teaching them how to care.
    As far as hatching is concerned, I have been hatching chicken eggs (Australorp, Bantam, Polish, Silkie, Aseel and Desi) for 3years. the problem with some common incubators is that you can't see the hatching process I want to share that amazing process with my children.
    I would love to hatch Wyandotte, Ko Shamo and Sebright this year, with this incubator it would double the joy.
    Keep up the great work.

      If his kids deploy death grips; then he clearly hasn't taught his kids that beings need a circulation to live. Which means they're far too young to master safe handling. Perhaps teach them CPR instead. Much more useful! Keep them away from vulnerable beings.

    About 6 months ago I ordered and hatched some Serama eggs I bought on eBay. Out of the 7 I received in the mail only 2 of them hatched and naturally they were both roosters. Last week I happened to meet a gentleman that sold them and had a hen I was able to purchase from him and I would like to hatch more Seramas because I love the breed of chickens and very few people in my area have them or know about them. The gentleman I bought mine from was surprised and excited that someone finally knew what breed of chicken he was selling and how valuable they are.

    This is a tough one because most people say 'don't do ..' automatically, myself included. While Bella is learning, continue to reinforce and demonstrate using 'loose hands' and she'll work it out.

      Your comment is very encouraging and normally I'd agree but at that point "death grip" was already in full mode. It's a weird reflex that kids can't quite control jet especially under strong emotions so I don't think in that particular situation anything could have been changed by switching to positive reinforcement. He was very brave to show this and not cut it out and I commend him for that because these mistakes genuinely happen but then again he admitted he should have known better. Having small kids around animals is always a risk there is no exception to it either the kid is in danger or the animal. I do understand the desire to share this with his youngest child but then again how to supervise on his own responsibly? Hoping for the best is how these kind of things happen. I'm really relieved he stayed on top of it for both the kid and the chick. Parenting is not without faults and I give him a lot of credit for being real about this situation.

      It is what it is, this advice is very helpful. No one did anything wrong. Sometimes kids will react differently just based on excitement or who's there so maybe o e day she just handles everything more gently and the next she'll just not gauge it right. When I was her age we used to be playing with kittens no problem but one summer, a baby me just figured the kiddy pool was fun, kittens surely would have fun... I was tense seeing things go 0 to 100, but ya know, I always think about that story of accidentally near drowning those poor kittens and ya just gotta accept this kind of thing happening in farm life. My Dad used to raise so many animals and even step mom had a moment where she accidentally lost a pup. It was sleeping under the bedding chips and she was a tiny frail lady just trying to get the waterfall for them. Nice that the bird made it but even if it hadn't, it's just how things go sometimes.

    I love watching the interaction of teaching Bella how to be gentle. We have "class" where my younger kids sit and decorate raw eggs. Throughout the day, they carry their eggs with them, learning how to be gentle and how easy it is to crack or break (i.e., accidentally k*ll a chick) before we let them help carry chicks. We want to hatch out some full-size Cochins because they make excellent mamas, and my older kids love Silkies, so we are hoping to hatch some out (although having an incubator would be so much easier). If we had an incubator, I would put our Silver Appleyard Duck eggs in them and hatch out more ducks!

The incubator we have now doesn’t rotate the eggs 😂 so I wake up every night to hand turn them. Probably for our next batch I’ll have to buy a turner because we are for sure going to keep hatching eggs and 18 days of waking up at night to turn eggs gets you s little wonky.

    Our family loves watching your videos! We recently moved to a property with acreage chasing our dream to live off the land and to raise farm animals. It would be amazing if we could have an incubator to hatch and experiment all different types of birds. It would be really enjoyable to watch baby chicks grow and to teach others all about raising them. Some breeds that interest our family are: Silkes, Ayam Cemani, Mandarin ducks, and Rhode Island Red. It wold be a blast having so many birds and I also think that the Mandarins would really enjoy our pond. Your channel has truly been such a blessing and so helpful on teaching us and we would love to use our knowledge to teach others too.

    Hi, I'm Pia from Germany and I've been following you with my two kids for a long time. You are a great family. We have a colorful troupe of 11 different breeds. We have Rahmelsloher cuddly chickens, a cute Araucana, our two Idas are Silverudds Bla, a Maran hen, and Sundheimer hens, plus an Orpington, a flower chicken and a Wyandotte. Two Australorps and Barnevelder and Bielefelder Kennhüner. Now we want to expand this troop even more. My son's wish was to hatch a colorful cardboard box with hatching eggs. Strupphuhn eggs, lavender Araucaner, Blauleger, New hempshire, Amrocks, etc. So a really colorful mixture! And for this we are still looking for a suitable incubator. We would be happy if we were selected and maybe even become a "pen pal" from it. Greetings from Germany!

      I would probably be worried that the feathers would burn. Those heat lamps can get really hot. We made what we called a "mama" with a wire rack and heating pad. Found the "how to" online. Worked like a dream. The little chicks would get under it and stay nice and warm and I didn't have to worry about catching anything on fire. I know you can purchase ones made like that, but the heating pad works great in a pinch.

I have a niece next door who is very involved with them and I would love to hatch some of mine (when they are laying of course) with her then give them to her to raise. They would be a Black Copper Morans / Rhode Island Red mix. Mine are super sweet, my legs are not long enough for them to all perch on but they still try to fit when I go sit with them every day!

    It's probably best to wait until she is older. She's just too young to understand. Yes, you need to teach her, but when she is ready. It made me extremely uncomfortable to watch you teach her when she is clearly not ready. She did not release her death grip when you told her to, which is the sign for you she isn't ready. Dont' worry, it won't be long till she is ready. Give her a year, and she will grow up so much. Instead of letting her hold them. Hold her hand so one finger is out so she can pet it with you. If she fusses and throws a tantrum, then you put her down until she comes down and is ready to try.

    I am Hmong and we've been breeding this breed in our family and community since the early 1980s. Unfortunately, these chicks are most likely mixed. There should never be feathers on the feet. I'm interested in seeing how they grow. Hmong chickens are suppose to have much tighter feathering and a higher, more upright stance. Many American breeders are buying mosaics (which were just Ayam Cemani with lots of leakage) and calling them Hmong chickens. It really does our culture and signature breed a disservice. I know these eggs were a gift but if you're interested in Hmong Chickens, support a Hmong breeder. There's plenty in the US.

Before she is old enough for those small things. Just let her pet it while you hold it. Please. Otherwise, good video. Keep it up. 👍👍

This is the problem with the animal side of youtube and the people who exploit their young children on youtube. She's way too young to give consent and the animals have got no choice either. This is why I'm selective with the few animal channels I subscribe to. The ones who don't involve kids are the best. It's double exploitation. The kid gets painted as an infant serial killer or defended as just a child. And the rare animal that was gifted to you as an honourable gift was just treated like another replaceable house chicken. In south East Asian culture if you receive a rare gift like this it's an honour and you show respect by looking after it. You are so disrespectful to your viewer and their culture you treated it like another replaceable house chicken. There's less then 500 of these in the US and you let your mini serial killer almost squeeze the life out of it.
      Telling people to cool their jets cause it didn't die but you have no self reflection. It's not just about a missed mishap. It's about how you treat loyal viewers who send you probably their most expensive clutch. To get manhandled by a toddler with no respect for her daddy.

    I would hatch out silkies! They're adorable and they were my mom's favourite. Just the sweetest little chooks imaginable.❤

    Just happened to stumble upon your video. I have loved chickens any species since childhood. This takes me back too my dad incubating a 100 chick's, ducks, quail every spring. He would release the quail into the wild. I would love to just win the incubator to show my grandsons how to hatch any breed of chicken.

    I hatch eggs for my kids school, so usually we do a barnyard mix, but I’d love to hatch out some Ameraucana’s since my current ones have stopped laying their beautiful blue eggs.
    I just stumbled on your UA-cam and love the variety you have! Will definitely subscribe. Excited about your Emu eggs!

    I was inspired by your channel to start raising our own chickens last year. We're thinking of hatching some more silkies. We just got 3 tiny silkie chicks from a local farm to add to our flock but would love to hatch them ourselves.

    I couldn't begin to tell you the types of any chickens. Now my neighbor certainly could they have a few different breeds and they are huge. Equally glad the "squeezed" chick bounced back. I realize she didn't understand how tight to hold them. So glad it made it back okay... All the same, interesting video... Thumbs Up!

    Would use the incubator for some courtnix quail. My group is about 3 weeks old, so I've just started to look at them, and the 360 seems to be the right one for me.
