How We Train Our Chickens! 

Imagine being a reject then someone takes you with home and now you live the best chicken life there is

"playing the xylophone isn't a husbandry thing" excuse me but I think he probably is more attractive to the hens if he's got artistic talent

oliver's story from being abandoned in a cage in the sun to now living in a fancy coop and being doted on by a kind group of people could be a children's book

look at all those chickens

You said "show people how capable they are". I find that to be such a smart and impactful message. I feel like this helps folks respect and value their contributions. Thanks for what you do!

I hope Maya sees this. I got randomly suggested this on yt and I truly enjoy it. To the guests and the animals. I hope your sanctuary grows. I can't express how easy it was to fall in love with this.

Maya I’m also in Texas and my mom bought my brother a “miniature pot belly” pig. We really need help rehousing him as he’s become pretty depressed out in the suburbs and we don’t have enough resources to give him what he needs. All this to say maybe you could have a place where you keep pot bellied pig pets who were abandoned. Kind of like the one Logan Paul had. It would be very educational and would help a lot of piggy lives.

Good job at caring for the chickens and all the animals

Oliver is a very majestic chicken.

i rescued a bunch of chickens from a pretty bad egg laying facility so it makes me very happy to see a video like this!

Mayas a real life super hero

What a cute video! Those chickens can be so smart, it makes me think about what I eat in my day to day! Anyway, as always I LOVE these videos on this channel and can't wait to see the next one! ~~

I like the goat standing menacing in the background of the coop

chickens!! I've thought about getting them in the future because they seem like amazing animals to have around and care for! I'll make sure to do proper research before then though 😊as I want to give them the best life possible

I love that one is called nugget, like calling a cow steak or calling a human meat

Flip never misses with these videos. Keep up the amazing work flip and Maya!

we love maya and chickens

I absolutely love these videos. I’m starting gonna be starting college in fall of 2023 to study Zoology so I can later pursue vet school, and these sorts of videos always get me excited all over again about animals ☺️

You do such important work

When chickens get salads that are better than most restaurant salads.

the interesting thing about enrichment is that one of the stress behaviors is that the hens peck each other and the rooster is too aggressive. when they peck it increases the chance of disease. High production farming could implement basic enrichment and prevent many of those issues.

Flip really killing it with these vids. To bad he didn't mention Maya's hair when recording

cant wait to see more!

Not sure if u read these comments, but I think what would be really interesting is what the training looked like earlier on. Like the beginning of an animals training

Great video Flip!

awesome work

Great video! Love the chickens!

Great video guys

Great video!

I have to admit I just love Oliver, especially his green feather plumage!

Great video Mr. Flip!

chickens go!

I'd love to see a video like this on your parrots :) I've been a parrot owner for 4 years now, and would love to see the enrichment you make for them :)

More more more ! Love this content

These vids are great!

Great video.

these chickens eat better than i do

My favorite sanctuary making a video about my favorite animals? Love it! 🥰 ❤

loved this

so good!!

a will to live, truely

Henrietta is a Real Sweet Kid

Minecraft soundtrack is truly timeless.

Good job alveus team

thanks alveus

Good video Flip!

Super cool look at daily chicken care! I want chickens as backyard layers someday but I would very much like to train them as well- to make health checkups easy and keep them enriched. I want friendly, happy chickens and I think training is the way to go for bonding with them and meeting their needs.

Cool stuff :)

i just wanna pet them all!!! they're so cute 🥰

Thank you for these! These videos are so awesome! I would love to see you do a colab with Animal Wonders Montana one day to discuss the conversation of doing ambassador events for children and adults. maybe a zoom or discord call!

happy chicken noises is so nice

Yummy salad at the start of the video.

Always nice to keep your chickens healthy, before eating them 😎

I thaught this was about Stompy, Big Chicken 🐣

good video mr flip ! ! :)

I love Henrique's name because that's generally a masculine name here in Brasil (and other Latin American countries, I think) She's subverting gender expectations and eating her little worms, you go queen

all the chickens are my favorite I can't pick

I love them all

Good vid 🐧

Would love to see a video about the parrots! Birds are so interesting 💖

Have you guys looked into rain water capture and storage with the enclosures? Would be a good use of the roof space available with all of the enclosures.

good video flip

So nice what you are doing

GIGACHAD Oliver

My favorite chicken are all the chickens

chickens be eating better then me xD

I love rescue animals! What Maya's doing is potentially has some great potential leading to study these special animal behaviors further. However, everytime I see a chicken my mind is like going to one word, hungry. Damn, should have never said it Xd

Hoping to get a necklace from QTCinderella if they are still available next week. I love all the creative ways y'all fundraise for Alveus :)

❤❤❤

good video mr flip

This may be answered somewhere else, but if admin sees this - do you or are you planning on growing veggies at Alveus?

bird 🐓 enrichment 🐔

This is great! Where did you get the target from? I could really use one for my boy Harold.

The minecraft music 💯

I fucking love Henrique ❤😢

Favorite chicken is Oliver for sure

my favourite chicken is mac from chicken run

😊Nice.

They eat so much better than I do

Clever chickens

This is what a Chick-flick should looks like ❤

All the animals at Alveus eat better than me

A few things… -lettuce is not good for chickens. It has very little nutritional value and can impact their crop. -your roosts in the run need to be turned so the widest part is whats flat for their feet to rest on. -You mentioned a scratch feed, which are actually two separate things…there’s feed and there’s scratch. Scratch is a treat that should only be given in the winter time, especially here in TX, and only in small amounts. Feed is a nutritionally balanced crumble or pellet (usually) that is the primary meal for your birds. Since you have a rooster, you should be feeding an all flock pellet/crumble - pellets are less wasteful unless you’re fermenting your feed. You need at least 18% protein for your rooster, anything less is nutritionally insufficient. Supplement extra protein for him only in addition to that with things like dubias and black soldier fly larvae, as well as black sunflower seeds. Don’t ever give layer feed to mixed flocks (flocks with roosters or non-laying birds) as a primary meal, as the extra calcium in it will decrease your roosters lifespan, greatly. -to give your hens the calcium they need without forcing your rooster to consume excess calcium that will end up killing him, you should leave a separate bowl out of oyster shell for your girls at all times. That way they can consume it as needed. -roosters need grit in order to properly digest their food too. While oyster shell doubles as grit for hens, roos really shouldn’t eat it. If ample grit is not available for them in their run, sprinkle small handfuls of crushed granite grit for them, that way he has a safe source of grit. -be careful giving your girls too many mealworms. They are high in fat and are considered a treat. Each bird should have no more than a a teaspoon a day of them. Enrichment is great, but overdoing it with the unhealthy treats can quickly lead to obesity. Fatty liver is a major issue for backyard chickens.

chickems!

🐔such smart cheekans~

I would love to have chickens

🐓🙌🏼

oliver is the goat

Uploading a chicken video on the same day that Tom Scott does it is a big brain move

Yay chikkens :)

Wait, if the doors are automatic, wouldn't chickens sometimes get locked out by accident, or are they really that good that they go inside before the door closes every time?

Nice Minecraft music.

Alveus + Urban Rescue Ranch collab when?

What is the brand of door you use?

Oliver is such a nice rooster and it's pretty sad how he would have probably been slaughtered...

Oliver good

More chicken content please

nobody: Beetle at 4:46 :

love buk buks
