Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! I've been learning bits and pieces about what you discuss, but your video was so clear and fun to watch! Thank you!!
@chickensinmygarden I don't own any sadly but I find them very relaxing to watch. What I miss the most living in the city is listening to the chickens clucking whilst free-ranging. Your channel provides that for me and more! Thank you
@cautiousdissolute5780 You're welcome. You might know from some of my recent videos that I now live in town, but I am lucky to have a big garden - big enough for chickens anyway.
Like 687! Hi my friend, more great information! I learned a lot of new great information from this video! Love your videos! Keep up the great work! Hope you have a great week my dear friend! Take care and God bless! Animal Papa and Junior! 😎🐓❤️👍🙏
@@chickensinmygarden your very welcome my new friend! Yes, I have chicken in my family! Raised them since they were a few days old! I actually have a lot of different animals! If you get a minute pass by the Animal Papa channel! Love your channel already! Hope you have a great week my dear friend! Take care and God bless! Animal Papa and Junior! 😎❤️🙏
Thank you. Yes I found it fascinating too so I just had to share it, although I did wonder how many people would be interested. Anyway it's fun learning about chickens isn't it 🙂
@@chickensinmygarden Yes they are amazing. I've learned soooooo much from you. I watched A LOT of your video's before I purchased my chicken's last year. Thank you for teaching me things I didn't know. I appreciate your video's.
You have sove VERY beautiful chickens and I have a few of them myself! Thank you for the information. I wanted to know if my chicken could see the color of my blue shirt 😂
@@chickensinmygarden 🐤💖 hello again, I can tell from your videos that you really love your birds and take excellent care of them. I would value your thoughts on my chicken problem. I just got my first baby chicks about 4 weeks ago from a local person that keeps lots of chickens and incubated her own eggs. As it turns out two of the chicks are Sillies. The bigger birds are picking on the Sillies quite a bit. Is there a way the two sizes can live together happily? I would love to keep them all but I only have one coop.
Chickens start establishing a pecking order when they are about 6 weeks old. That's probably what's happening. I don't usually mix different ages of baby chicks and on the occasions when I have, I have mixed older smaller breeds with younger ones that will eventually grow bigger. I don't know if that makes a difference though. The key to successfully mixing chickens is to make sure each has access to food and water (and the bullies can't keep them away) also to the heat source if they are still that young, and plenty of space and hidey holes so the small ones can run away. If there is already a big size difference you could divide the run with something the little ones can get through but the big ones can't. Unless it's really savage they will probably work it out and get along ok together eventually if you just give them time and space. Good luck
@@chickensinmygarden thanks so much for your reply. I will wait and see if they establish a pecking order. One of my problems, I discovered today, is that 3 of the chicks are roosters. When I separated them the others got along very well. So things may work out. I have one other problem that I'm not sure how to deal with however. One of the chicks developed splay legs and later broke her toes on one foot. She is a small bird about half the size of the bigger birds The problem is she can't seem to stay on her perch very well because her legs won't stay together and her broken toes don't allow her to hang on very well. I'm trying to come up with a perch so that both the big chickens and the injured chicken can sleep well at night. I've tried a wider perch but that was even worse for the injured bird. She is the sweetest chicken and I want her to be comfortable too. I know this is an odd problem but I hope I can find a way to keep all the birds comfortable and happy. Any advice would be awesome. 🤞🐥💖
@@voygirl1954 Oh dear poor thing. What a rough time she's had. I too would have thought a wider perch would be more comfortable but apparently not. You are obviously paying attention to what she is trying to tell you so my best advice is to keep doing that - give her as many options as you can and see which she chooses. Sometimes birds who have trouble perching do better on the end of the perch leaning against the wall or can squeeze in between two friends that prop her up on each side. And I guess trying to keep the floor well padded with soft shavings or straw etc will not hurt so much if she does fall.

Thank you so very much. I’m a relatively new chook mum and the more I learn the better a carer I am. This video was remarkable and fascinating. Thank you so so very much.
@@chickensinmygarden sorry tapped the wrong button. I’m in Australia. You’re video was so informative. I accidentally found my first girl while walking my dog and now ..... I’m the crazy chicken lady. Not really. But I do love my girls.
Thank you 🙂 Do check out some of my other videos. I have a playlist called Amazing facts about chickens ru-vid.com/group/PLZkmuqBJd8WQgSeRlaczWLh45pKnL3cXF Or this video is very popular ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vFaC7F9MqK4.html Happy chickening 🙂
Nothing very special. Mostly good quality commercial feed with some treats, a bit of free ranging, clean spacious housing, treat for parasites only when necessary, and clean water always available
WOW this deserves a million views! You really outdid yourself with all the graphics and research. THANK YOU. I did not know the vision develops in the egg by chicks rotating their position. Nicely done!
Great video! I learned a lot too. Now I'm wondering about how well they smell. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they smell their way to certain foods or if they are just smart and observant. I lean toward smart (some smarter than others). J:o)...
wow thank you so much... -I was amazed how chicken can peck mosquito in the air with such precision, answered -I was wondered why my chicken relatively avoid direct sun light or white curtain, so that because ultraviolet....
Then is it autumn or winter? It sounds like at about a year old might be time for her to moult. Maybe check out my video about why chickens are not laying ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwB7qc5Xijw.html
Probably not. Just keep it with the others and see how it does. Blind chickens can survive but usually only if they have become blind later in life. If it doesn't walk or eat in a few days, it will not survive.
Yes, all of my chickens have names. The white one at the beginning and end of this video is named Remington. My incubator is an old Top Hatch brand. I give you details in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h8nPArazVKM.html
