Top comments Anzay Warid Anzay Warid8 months ago Dear Frederick, People who make noisy music-jarr-filled videos with a constantly shaking, swimming, zooming in and out camera and who never stop talking should learn from this wonderful video you have made. There is music in natural silence and peace which should not be killed off by man-made music or constant prattle. And thank you for putting your camera on a tripod. One of the curses of modern video making is hand-held cameras that zoom in and out of your face all the time. Please extend your video making to other subjects, although poultry is certainly my favorite. A good way to start one's day is not to watch the news, but with a video such as yours, or if you can afford it, to stroll through and contemplate nature. Thanks and good luck with more video-making.

Reply stam ahmed stam ahmed2 weeks ago they are so cuteeeeee Reply View all 3 replies stam ahmed stam ahmed2 weeks ago Frederick Dunn i have 2 roosters and 9 hens is 2 roosters enough to fertilize all eggs ??? i would be thankful if you tell me Reply Frederick Dunn Frederick Dunn2 weeks ago +stam ahmed Two roosters is more than enough to keep 9 hens fertile. Reply Russell Shute Russell Shute3 weeks ago I started with game birds a couple of years ago & then found the chickens were best for me. I like the eggs & the birds require so little care. The thing is I would like to have some to reproduce now. The easter eggers I have don't brood. I am looking for some suggestion of a breed Reply Frederick Dunn Frederick Dunn3 weeks ago Problem is that most of the great free ranging birds don't go broody anymore, BUT, you can of course incubate them yourself, assuming you have roosters as well. Another option would be to get a few cochin hens and then when they are broody, just place the eggs you want to hatch under those hens. Reply Russell Shute Russell Shute3 weeks ago +Frederick Dunn I'm interested in farming at a scale of about 20 or 30 birds because I have a few acres of grass, a coop, but I am clueless about making it work from an economic point, except I would need to put in some crop for winter feed. I'm not interested in the meat & I can't use so many eggs. But if I had a meat birds or some with a low egg production I would enjoy the eggs. Perhaps I should look at keeping a breed that is becoming rare & shoot for selling to a unique minded market, stick with the calm birds. I like the Easter egg birds I have. Perhaps it makes the most sense to just get a brooder hen or two. Read more Reply Sanddox Sanddox1 month ago Amazing video. Beautiful creatures!!' By the way, I always had this question in mind: What would you do if you have more roosters than expected in a flock? Reply Frederick Dunn Frederick Dunn1 month ago I give away extra roosters to friends, they make great pets :) I actually have a waiting list for extras, so it's not a problem for us.

Do ya have to show the chicks the water and food trays like you would with getting them in the mail? Reply Frederick Dunn Frederick Dunn2 months ago No, chicks that are hatched by actual hens need no human direction, they will learn much more and at a faster rate from their hens :) Mother hens show then what to eat and where to drink, it's the best possible method. :) Reply 2 Colt Le Colt Le2 months ago what breed of roster is that between 1:04 and 1:26 he is a good looking bird Reply View all 3 replies Colt Le Colt Le2 months ago oh still is i nice roster in my opinion Reply Frederick Dunn Frederick Dunn2 months ago +Colt Le agreed :) Reply Isaiah Falcon Isaiah Falcon4 months ago i have a small coop with only 1 hen and 1 rooster and my hen has just gone broody, should i remove the rooster to another cage or leave him in their with her? Reply Frederick Dunn Frederick Dunn4 months ago You can leave them together, a broody hen generally doesn't get much attention from roosters.. BUT, if that rooster begins to focus on and harass the hen, you may need to relocate that rooster so she can hatch her eggs in peace.
