If you have any rules of chicken etiquette you've noticed in your flock, please share them below! 💕

[Alex_Riddles]

As for rule #1, predators have 2 eyes facing forward. This gives them depth perception. Prey animals have eyes on the sides of their head. This gives them a wide field of vision so they can avoid the predators. I have used this to hide from wild geese. By covering one eye, they don't recognize me as a predator and will fly directly over me.

It's a blast taking on the mother hen role. My record is 10 perched on my arms, shoulders, and the obligatory showoff on my head. I was indisposed to take a family portrait.
When I gather eggs, the hens are used to it, however one or two pipe up that I have a lot of nerve cradle robbing. So I usually pet them a bit and lightly press my hand on the back to settle them down, and they do.

LOVE the video and I also love Jacob and Sarah's book! I've spent 8 years observing chickens and trying to understand them. I am so happy to find other like-minded people who freely share their knowledge with other chicken keepers. I currently have 10 roosters and only 22 hens. Social dynamics and intelligence of chickens especially roosters AMAZES me!!!

It’s so wonderful to hear you talk about the importance of maternal chicken care! One of my Sumatra hens hatched out a chick this spring. She did tidbiting for her for three months and put her wing around her at night until the chick was almost as big as the mother. This pullet is very exploratory, extremely confident and Healthy - a wonderful bird.
Thank you so much for recognizing the absolute truth of this.❤❤❤

You are so informative! Your subs and views numbers don’t reflect truly your value to all things chickening. Keep up the good work!

[grandmothergoose]

Another great explanation about the needs of young chicks, which is another very good reason why it's better to ship fertile eggs and do the extra work of incubating and raising them rather than ship day old chicks. Love your work. Keep it up.

I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make them!

[melissaandjason]

I knew the pecking order thing was bs, I am so pleased with myself for ignoring all that crap and just thinking for myself 🤣👌
“Why do u have all those ugly pallets in your run”
“Just throw those chickens in with the others what’s your problem?”
“U have to lock them out of the coop for the day”
“You gotta trap them inside until they have all layed their eggs”
“You gotta do a feeding schedule”

All crap 😂
I’m a chicken mom… I love my birds. And I’m not doing anything that seams cruel, mean or just flat out stupid lmfao

Thanks so much for this video, new subscriber ✌️👊

That pinky finger in the intro had me rolling on the floor laughing 🤣This video was very enlightening thank you it explains a LOT about my hens :)

I spend a lot of time with my flock. Especially now since I have a momma hen with chicks.
It's really interesting listening to the different sounds they make.
My roosters start a low growl and everyone moves under the same tree. Then if the predator(hawk) gets closer they bawk loud.

[patty]

What a cute and very informative video. They always help me with my flock. 1 and a half year chicken mamma here and still learning.

[Kalico]

You're videos are always amazing. I have learned more from you than any other source because you care deeply about how the chickens feel. Same here. I prefer to rehome my chickens at least 2 at a time to help them. Anyhow, I look forward to the video about integration. I have my adult parent flock, small flock I incubated and then my broody raised babies. It's been rough to integrate them all. It's a slow work in progress. Your videos are wonderful and your baby chick video made me not want to hatch anymore unless I have a broody.

[tibbs]

You have a wealth of information and this new Chicken mamma thanks you!!

[thedangerpoint]

So sick of 'research' lies. You do fantastic work.

[beckymay]

I love it! I've found another crazy chicken mom! I love how much you love your birds and they obviously love you back. I think we'd be great friends if we were neighbours.

[nikkireigns]

I had chickens for 7 years before I ever saw a rooster pick out a nesting spot. At first I was like WTF dude and googled it. Now I think it’s the cutest thing 🥰

I'm a new subscriber after watching this video! Roovolutions and Welcome to Chickenlandia are channels I subscribe to here on YT as well. I just love learning about roosters/chickens and watching their interactions with each other and their humans.
This was such an enjoyable video, my husband and I learned so much from watching it!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to make such an educational video. I now need to go back and watch all your other videos to see what I've missed ❤

[shadytreez]

I grew up with chickens, and you so eloquently explained some of the behaviors I saw. I learned so much from your video and had me laughing, too.

[hailanj]

Thank you for this informative video! 🐔I love how you flat out say these threatening moves are rude and impolite...because they are! Our feathered friends deserve good manners and respect! 😊
