🐣 This approach has the highest success rate! It’s always best to separate a committed broody hen- at least separated area so she can do her job. Let’s chat!
See ya on the farm & thanks for watching! 😊

Put a Govee in that 360. I have one and the temp isn't right. Trust the Govee not the incubator.
Another great video
I’m incubating eggs right now. Its day 4 going on day 5.
Should in introduce these chicks to my only hen, in hopes that she will go broody and raise them? Or should I just offer 5 to 6 of her eggs to her to see if she’ll go broody on her own? Regardless I have 13 developing embryos as we speak haha! This is my first time and I’m excited!
I am desperate for mine to go broody. No one did last year, but this year we have a few more. All australorp. I'm way up North, with -40o nights still. Any tips to encourage broodiness? (Once the weather gets a bit warmer.)
Awesome experience tagging along with you today. I Love orange roses as well I have some on my table right now. They are gorgeous with miniature purple roses.
Wow this hen an egg thing is a lot of stuff.. ??So if you pull all the eggs does momma go back to normal?? Or still just sit?
Love watching the babies hatch! I really like watching your videos. I do want to know why you add a little vinegar to the water?
Hey Ms Patara, great video. When you bring the brooding inside, do you find that momma/chicks need to re-start in the pecking order when she returns to the flock? Thanks!
Breastfed baby diaper is a joy in comparison to a funky broody poop. I literally threw up my first experience. I wasn't warned and had no idea. Whew…..
Awwww, the way little Silkie looked at and talked to her baby…. so face to face. Soooo sweet!!!!!
Wow! Beautiful!
Yes another baby. Look at me like I'm all in your conversation, your talking to me. I sometimes use my old rabbit cages for my Ms mommas. In a controlled environments, I mean it isn't absolutely necessary, like women and babies, chickens have done it for years. But I'm like you, especially when they go broody early in cold weather. It's less worry for me. I've been told I over identify with my chickens. Well maybe? I remember how beautiful it is to become a mom. So I enjoy birth, babies and mommas of any species….. yup even the ones that hatch.
Love your videos, you're just a good ole girl who tells it like it is. If I was closer would love to meet you. I don't have animals except 3 small house dogs. I grew up on a small farm so for me it's interesting to watch you. God bless you and your family
Patera, we used the nature right 360, our temp was spot on, but we had some difficulty with maintaining humidity levels. But we were doing quail from Myshire farms, great people btw, it was January in Ohio, and we have wood heat. We were anxious to start our quail flock. We have a breeder set that is now laying that I bought, and we are moving our chicks to the barn today. My friends cant believe I have 25 quail in the house!lol
So stinking cute! I love chicks and chickens. Your such a good momma! Thank you for sharing.
I disagree Patera. I think this was very exciting. Last time I got 4 hens from Tractor Supply — 3 of them were roosters
I found this fascinating, and I would love to candle my own eggs
Thanks for the info
I was wondering what your thoughts were about stocking up on chicken feed? I try to buy 2 bags at a time. I don’t want to considered a “hoarder” but was thinking maybe with things the way they are, it would be smart? to stock up.
We love having our broody mammas in the house because our coop is off the ground and its just safer for mamma, babies, and the other chickens. We use a hexagon soft sided dog crate, it has a bottom and a netted top and window sides (awesome for adding a camera for 24/7 axcess) We place pine shavings on the flooring and a steeping stone with water (keeps water from the shavings and is good for the babies to stand on and drink). Its fun because they are in the "man cave" which is a master bedroom that is accessible to the outside backyard (no its not our master bedroom, we have 2 master bedroom set ups) and food is in a baby chick feeder. Our mammas will stay in the crate for about 2 weeks, we let mama and babies outside in a special container to protect them, but give them access to grass about day 3 or 4, then they get to come inside at night, mamma knows where it is, she has gone broody 4x and she knows where it is and will bring her babies to the man cave door at dusk about an 1 before the other hens go inside. When they are bigger a month of more (we look at the babies size) we will help mama know its time to take them into the big coop, by shooing her and babies into the coop, and she can then take them up the ramp herself, and she'll grab a nesting box of her choice and raise them more in there and train them until she is done. I AGREE my bufff orphington is the best mama, also our salmon favorella was too. Out of 20 hens those are the only 2 who went broody and we have a mix of breeds..
Agree 100%.. don't need no cut flowers, or chocolate just give me stuff off my amazon list. 😉
Aaaawww I love baby chicks ♡
Oh, I Miss having my ducks and geese and chickens. The county agent when I lived in Blount County called me the Duck lady. I would take incubated eggs in the dark closet and show the kids that came out to visit us and buy springs things what the chicks look like in the egg. I usually had ones that when you said peep peep peep they would peep back at you!! hehe
My best little ones were banty blk Chochens
