🐣 WHY You Need a Rooster-MORE on Broody Hens 🐣 

🐣 MORE BROODY HENS HERE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SsBEcWAEJi8.html

We just went through our first Broody experience. We had a 6 month old who had only been laying a few weeks go broody. Unbreakable. So we gave her 4 eggs and put her in our Tractor supply chicken coop that we don't use anymore. She hatched 3 out of 4. The last one wasn't fertilized. But So far she's been such a stellar mom. I couldn't be more pleased with the first results. Good luck on your eggs!

Don't be surprised if they go a little longer than 21 days. I was getting nervous/anxious with our broody hen last year. I did not check/disturb the eggs. Then, one day, the eggs started moving and cracking open. 9 out of 11 made it. 🙂

I love sitting down after a few hours of work and having coffee with Patera!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️

I love Claire Betty’s name. And I love your relationship with your farm animals.🥰🐣

I named my rooster Festus! He is the BEST rooster I have ever seen! He treats his girls like queens!

Such a “G” version 😂. Thank you Patara.

Love the biology lesson! We just had that conversation with junior farmer here. He was impressed that chicks have daddies. He thought our roosters were just more ornamental hens.

I used a broody light Brahma to hatch some duck eggs a few years ago......and yes those ducklings followed her around until they outgrew her.

My hen went broody around the time of that video. We gave her 7 eggs and 3 hatched! She’s raising her babies now! Thank you!

We're all on "broody watch".... waiting for new chickie-babies... 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣 🌞🌞🌞🌞

I love the way you love your farm animals. You honor God in the way you treat them❤

This year I got too busy to deal with the broodies, so I hit up Tractor supply for pullet chicks. They were within a few days old and I put them under two different hens. The hens raised 7 of the 8 chicks and were very happy. One other chick was killed, but the remaining 6 pullets are almost ready to lay their first eggs. Great summary on broodies!

One of my hens went broody this spring. We don't currently have a rooster so we found her some likely fertile eggs and let her have at it. Out of the 8 we gave her only 4 hatched. Out of those we only have 1 left. Buts she's a keeper. Looks like I may have another headed the same way, so I'm heading out to get her some eggs.

A master’s class quickie! Dense information is much appreciated.

We’re on our third generation of barnyard mix birds here! Hooray for broody hens! I have one sitting on 9 eggs due to hatch next week 🎉

Love my Broody Hens ❤ they are the queens of our farmstead 🎉

I never had success with my hens until we hot wired coop and got Little Jerry, our rooster. He is their protector and I’ve seen him gather them when a helicopter flew over head. Love love love my rooster.

I love a good ole broody hen. They are just extra special. I hope you get a successful hatch and Miss Clair Betty raises them up well.

I Love the Name Miss Claire Betty ❤- She’s a sweet ole gal 🙏🏻 May your family have a most blessed day 🇺🇸

Great video. It's so funny that those of us who haven’t raised animals would think a female didn’t need a male to make babies. I know people who just had that aha moment in the last couple of years. Shows we don’t know nothing ‘bout birthing no babies.

I love how sweet you are with her. ❤️

So near 400,000 subscribers- 0h Patara I’m so excited for you- you deserve 1 million!!

Thank you . We live in Guatemala. I have learned a lot about chickens with you. Especially candling. Blessings to you and Clare Betty

You are such a wonderful blessing! Thank you for all you do 🐓🐔🐣🐣🐣 the information is priceless ❤️ 😊!!

I want a rooster but live in town and am only "allowed" hens.... I pray to be able to move to a more rural area soon!!

I have a Thousand Flower D'Uccle hen inside a brooder with some chicks and she is catching flies and feeding them to the chicks. Now the tiny little chicks are trying to catch them themselves. Funny to watch.

God love her heart! She,s a good mommy.

Good morning Patera. Wishing you a happy weekend.

…and suddenly, it’s fall!

We don’t have a rooster yet, we’re within city limits. We’re close to selling our house and getting out of the city! We DO have a broody hen which is interesting. She currently sits on the fake eggs in the nesting box. 😂 I cleaned the nesting boxes yesterday and sat the fake eggs in the grass next to my feet and she came and turned them and appeared to be counting them. ❤

It's a must to have "Rooster bullets" for chicks in the egg........ and a good broody hen! How many times do we need to educate the "educated" city chaps? Keep up the good content friend, Happy Trails!!!

You bring back "fond" memories of chickens from my childhood. I'm going to be getting chickens soon. We're allowed 5 hens in our small city.

No broody hens here, they just lay, cackle and walk off. Love fresh eggs.

We've got babies due to hatch on Saturday! Hopefully, everything will go smoothly 🤞

Good morning everyone ☺️ I can't wait to get a rooster for my girls.

We have 10 coops... Each has 10-15 hens and rooster for each coop. Mostly leg horn ... On an average day , we get 90-100 eggs. We also have 4 incubators that hold 40 eggs that we keep a week apart.... 4 brooding houses hold 40-160 chicks each , for 2 months

Thank you Patara. We are in the cone for a hurricane here in Dunnellon FL. We are prepped and it will hit Tuesday or Wednesday. We pray it misses us but it looking Shakey right now. We have done all we can. Now the waiting. Pray for us.

Morning y’all

Around here we call that goin sparkin.

agree totally...poultry for 40 yrs and always have a rooster and keep certain breeds just because they go broody often. Rather hen hatch and take care of chicks than me

I had a good laugh with your explanation of how baby chicks are created, thought it was common knowledge. I had 3 silkie hens all go broody this spring so I let them because I wanted more but this spring and summer was the worse with heat and humidity and makes the broody, hatching a little more difficult. It was so funny to see how one would go out to eat etc and the others would carefully pull all the eggs under her so I lost track of which eggs were which hen. Some did not make it due to the weather conditions but when they started to hatch I found one of those playhouses for little girls, put hardware cloth over the open areas and put a tote on the side with one of the hens and the babies and created a nursery. One hen said I did my job and I am done, but one of the hens turned out to be a great Mom. They are now in the run with the other hens and rooster but in a small fenced off area so they can be on the ground and see the other hens so they get used to each other. I will do it again next spring. Thanks for the video

I'm always surprised at the older people I talk to that don't understand the fertilization process!

I love your smile 😁 Patera

Really enjoyed the video! I would really like to hear more about your rabbits and rabbit husbandry, if you get a chance! Love from Wisconsin!!!

Blessings from Florida. Seeing Patara first thing in the morning is an awesome start to the day. We sold eggs when I was a kid.. I had to help gather and candle. Not my favorite thing to do!👍❤

You want Broodyville, but not Funky Town. Got it!

Enjoyed the chicken talk in broodyville! Thanks Patara 🤗❤️

Thank you ! Your face lights up when you teach 🙂 I hear ya. Head down, keep on swingin' .

I absolutely love a broody hen !!!!!!

Thank you so much Patara for sharing with us …you rock and we will be forever grateful

Very helpful information as we are planning to add hens to our property. We live in town and aren’t planning to have a rooster, but if we end up with one in our group, we will see how it goes…

I learn so much from you! Thanks for always sharing ❤️🙏

Had all hens, they would go broody but no rooster, got a rooster and their eggs are better and he's done his job. Good video.

I have a broody right now, luckily I left the broody pen set up from early in the summer. It’s not a great time of year, but we’ll make sure she keeps warm.

This video made me smile. She's sweet. Thanks Patara! Good info. 💕🇺🇸😊🌻🐤🐓

I’m getting a rooster from a friend on Sunday! I’m so excited!

I love your videos! I KNOW everyone says that! YOU are such a JOY to watch, and learn from. Blessings to you and your family.

Happy Anniversary to you both!! We are about 20 minutes from The Tavern. Wish I had known, I would have tried to meet you both!!!!!

Thank you, I've been having issues with my chickos and this really helps.

I’ve got two that are broody now on empty nests and everyone else is molting. It’s a hot mess express here. 😂

Thank you for the information. It's nice to see you teaching the new listeners

thanks for the broody hen lessons

I like these videos a lot better than the rants. Very informative, thanks!

You are so helpful! Thank you so much! What a blessing you are to us!

Loved the video Patara!! Very informative on broody hens. Stay safe

Great vid. Nicely detailed. Thank you!

I love learning everything about farms. TY

This is hilarious. I had to explain to grown woman how we could get eggs when we didn’t have a rooster. I was blown away having to do that.

You are precious Patara! Love what you share with us! God Bless 🙌 Grace & Peace ✌️🥰🦋💜🛐✝️

Thank you. I don't have a rooster, but noticed a slowdown in egg production from my 5 hens. One was molting, and another was broody. I had wondered why the slowdown in egg production. They started laying again recently, but now I have 1 or 2 molting again, feathers everywhere in the coop.

Thanks for all of this wonderful information 🤗👏

Very informative. Love that your hen shares my name. I'm an old gal too. LOL! ~ Betty
