I successfully trap the hen, taming wild chickens. Primitive Skills (ep183) 

Hi everybody! In the previous video there were a lot of comments recommending me to roof the house with clay bricks. Currently I have collected almost all wooden planks. What should I do? Should I roof my house with wooden planks anymore?

For the chickens: you want to give them a good run area that's well protected, something like a 6ft x 6ft area. Since you don't have access to netting, you could weave a bamboo cover for the top, it just needs to be tight enough to stop predators from getting in and them getting out. Then you need a well covered chicken coop with a closable door to house them at night / bad weather. If you put down cut grasses, etc. on the bottom of the chicken coop it'll make it easier to clean it out and you can add the old grass and chicken poop to a composting bin.

Buddy there’s nothing you do that surprises me anymore. You seem to be a master of everything lol. You have a great life that you worked hard for so be proud. Love your content so keep it up. Great job.

I have raised chickens before. Just being around them, feed them and talk to them , they will common down and be tame. Chickens will be great to have around. Eat a lot of bugs too! Make sure they have shelter and a place they feel safe. They will return every night to roost.

Big tip: cook the corn over the coals with the leaves still on, it will steam the corn inside, it the easiest and best way to cook corn. Great job on the garden, corn grown by hand is the best! I grow my own too. Very satisfactory. Also great job on the mother hen and chicks, they look very healthy, so cute!

Congratulations on successfully catching the hen

So happy for the mother hen and chicks to be reunited! Domesticating the mother will take more time because she was wild, the chicks already look more used to you. It will be easier with them. Build them a safe fenced in area (with a top to be safe from predators) with a nice hen house for nesting and getting out of the weather. Food is your friend when taming. Like banging the gong for feeding the fish, make a sound to call to the chickens when you feed them, so they become familiar with you. You’re doing great, I love your Chanel and videos, thank you for taking us all on this journey with you! Wish you well!

Looks awesome! Can you do a video explaining in better detail how to craft the cage? Would love to see the process.

About chicken taming: I've been through this the last half year as well, got new chickens at my home, feed them regularly, 6-8 hands of grain/insects a day for your amount, give them shelter and enough room to live, after 3 months they should be used to it and stay at your place.

These videos have made me want to sell all my everyday things and disappear into the woods and make a home there. away from the internet and just reconnecting to mother earth

I'm so glad you caught the mother hen! The chicks would have been ok without her but I'm sure they're very happy to see her! She will protect them, teach them how to be proper chickens. I think with care and patience you will be successful domesticating them. Slowly, with lots of love: that's the way.

Yo, that hen is adorable. looks like you're already becoming good friends

You are truly becoming a self sufficient farmer! Bravo!!!😀

I swear by it bamboo is the greatest plant to ever exist You can eat it you can make just about make anything with it and it is very abundant

Спасибо! У Вас все получится! Это просто прекрасно что теперь у вас есть куриное семейство!

I knew you could do it! Good job on catching the mother. I really loved how you showed the process on how to make rope from hemp and the skill you showed in separating the bamboo into smaller and smaller strands was really masterful and cool to watch. As for the cage for the Hen and chicks, my advice would be to create a woven enclosure that's big enough for you to stand and walk around in so it can be easily cleaned and have a second but smaller "building" (hen house) only needs to be 4x4 feet wide and 4-5 feet tall as you'll want to be able to get into it to clean it. This creates a safe area for the hen and chicks to be safe at night and a place for you to feed if you don't want to monitor them during the taming process, as you may be busy .

Самый шикарный проэкт!! Смотрю с первых серий..Желаю удачи..👍🙏💐💐

baaaahhhh like it🥰🥰🥰... now you have much food.. the egg.. the chicken.. fish.. rice..

I hope you can keep the chickens safe from predators. That's the biggest problem when raising chickens other than diseases.

Hello beautiful people all over the world,who love to watch this good guy going his videos like me..from philippines...

Please give the chickens some water and food in dishes. They need water to survive. Thank you

Chickens are a tough one to tame. It usually takes a couple generations. I eventually got mine to come to me when I got home. They knew my car. Feed them at the same times every day. The quickest way to tame your chicks is to get them to associate you and your hands with food.

I have found that chickens thrive best either loose or in a movable enclosure. I don’t think letting them run loose is ideal in your situation so I would recommend a small coop you can move by hand that gives them a place to roost that is up off the ground and covered to give them shelter from rain. This would be paired with some type of fence to keep predators out and keep the chickens in the spot you want them. The cage you were keeping the chicks in would be sufficient with a few modifications. Put a floor in it so it forms a complete basket and maybe poke some sticks through about 3-4” from the bottom for them to roost on. As for your fence you could weave rectangular bamboo panels that you tie together with string each time you move them and if it is high enough, 3-4 feet or so, you don’t have to cover the whole thing but if you have lots of hawks or owls then I might do it anyway. After you have the requisite materials for your pen you set it up wherever you want them and move them every few days. The more often you move them the smaller the enclosure can be. And as for locations might I recommend non productive areas of your garden so they can eat the pests and fertilize the soil a bit.

You are doing everything right make sure "Momma" can't leave and make sure to meet all their needs food, water, shelter, also be a calming presence too them they will soon learn to trust you.

It's so great that you have chickens now, just feed them and keep them safe, that's all they need.

if you hold the fish by the tail and bob it up and down in the water, it will force oxygen back into it's gills, you can revive them

These weeks or month that you will keep them in the house you have to give them fresh water and feed them daily morning and evening you can give fresh greens and old fruit you may can give them flour as you give to the fish from roots and fresh greens and you get a lot of eggs later. eggs are full in energy and give you too much food.

That chicken cage is a thing of beauty! You are so talented! Oh, I'm glad you got a new shirt!

I think you have created a small paradise. Your skill is quite great . Independent living with Mother Nature is a wonderful thing. You do so well at it. Your amazing.

Hello Brother! This is my favorite channel, no Facebook, TikTok, Twitter or RU-vid can compete in my book! Thank you so much for all the entertaining videos!

С Приветом из России, молодец продолжай в том же духе !

Your channel's videography is very interesting. PS, God bless you. You are sharing many good things. Take care.

Great process. Are the chicks and hen drinking water? Too important. A cage has to have a roof to protect them from sun and rain. Great job.

Building a simple chicken coop is easy. How ever many hens you have, build x2 as many nesting boxes, if you’re going for eggs. For meat birds, give them room to roam and eat and feed them PLENTY. Free roaming chickens will help keep the insects and rodents under control, too. They’ll roost at night, so a perch above ground, even just a few cm will work. Shade is important, as is a dry coop to keep disease under control. Might help to have a bamboo mat underneath the coop to clean it out easily and harvest the manure for fertilizing your crops.

Love your videos, always something new and so well done. I don't see how you are giving these chickens a source of water?

For me, I have found calmly, quietly talking to animals helps domesticate them. Make them feel safe around you, no sudden or loud movements. Chickens will come home to roost in the same place every night. Once they are used to you, and found a safe place with food and water. They will stick around close. If you have predators you may want to make a secured roost for night time. During the day you will have them all over your place, around you easy to protect. Personally I would not cage them during the day after they are used to you. Good lick, I hope you have good success.

I really want to see catching fish from pond

Друг. Сделай для них курятник и небольшой загон. И пусть живут там. И привязывать не надо будет

Great job catching hen. In your coop you will need a roost as chickens like to sleep off the ground. Some nesting boxes would be good too. Mother hen can have a place to lay eggs as well as the future grown hens from chicks. Of course a feeding and water trough will be needed. Hens will start to lay eggs in about 20 weeks. Good luck with your chickens. They are rewarding with eggs and meat. Be blessed with good health and peace. 😊🇺🇸

Food, water, shelter is all they need. Mama will teach them to forage. Water is a must. Same time everyday feed them, they will expect it. Lock momma up for 3 days but let the chicks have access to her.

A beautiful cage a man of many talents, thanks for sharing your life with all of us.

Большое спасибо за видео! Оставляю свой комментарий в поддержку канала! Всем добра и мирного неба над головой! Здоровья и благополучия!

Good work. One thing I know about chickens that they love eating fish.

I always get your videos for my mom to watch in her room because she really likes to see you doing your daily chores!

Basket weaved to hold and carry chicks is wonderful...thoroughly enjoyed watching you confidently source material, prepare it into desired workable components then continue on to expertly make it; impressed🌴

Feed fish to chicken for fast growth and resistance to deseases. Between 3 female chicken, put 1 male chicken. For giving eggs tie one leg and hang for a few hours. Make a wooden house with straw inside. For egg laying.

I can almost smell the delicious aroma of the corn being roasted in the open fire. I love cooking corn that way. It gives a really special flavor to the corn.

45:38 tip for the fish, you can force water through their gills by holding onto them and moving them through the water. this pushes the water through their gills and oxygenates their blood so they can regain consciousness 49:10 as for domesticating animals, it will take a long time, years. animals themselves are tamed and trained, but each generation if you allow the nicest and calmest to breed and cull the rest, it should take between 5 and 10 generations to notice a significant difference. A Russian scientist, Dr. Dmitri Belyaev, successfully domesticated foxes, creating the silver fox. It took over 50 years and about 40 generations to actually have them be truly domesticated though, so unless you plan to build a clan the best you'll be able to do is hand train the chicks to be calm and nice around you.

Maybe a chicken tractor it's a mobile chicken coop you can drag around and fertilised the soil at the same time keep up the good work thanks again for another awesome video

Ваше видео как релакс. Какое терпение надо иметь чтоб так долго ловить маманю.

Nice. Finally some chicken. You should build a nice chicken coop for them, so they won't flee or be attacked by predators. A small house with some tall fences should do it.

Мастер своего дела🤝

Your an artist!! You made a Beautifull Basket for the chicks!!🤗love it🐥🐥🐤🐤

The hens are beautiful. All that God has created is a testament to His Awesome Handiwork :)

Native Americans planted beans and squash with their corn. They called them "The Three Sisters". The effort to farm needed simple fixes as the Indians learned to farm. This method makes the cleared land more efficient and maximizes the lands use. What country this video is being filmed in? I saw yams and peanuts are wild in that area so I am assuming it is in the southern hemisphere. The Three Sisters can be substituted if the additional plants enjoy the company and need the same water/light/food. Here is how the Indians did it... Sow the seed eight inches apart in a 3-foot diameter circle on top of the bed. Once the cornstalks are 6 to 8 inches tall, plant the bean and squash seeds. The bean seeds go inside the circle of corn, with one seed planted about 3 inches from each cornstalk. I love this series and hope the very best for this man and those doing the filming. You know, some of these types of videos it is obvious and understandable that the work is being done by many people, not just the single person. I get the feeling that for the most part, this very smart and capable man is actually doing it all! For those who give their best everyday, I wish their lives to be exactly how they dream.

You are extremely resourceful and clever, Bravo! Someone typed that you should talk to them so that they get used to you. I agree. By the way, I still think that your roof ought to be made with ceramic tiles. The wooden planks that you have can be used to make a chicken coop to protect them from other wild predators like fox or boars. With the extra hemp rope, make another pair of sandals to protect your feet. Your floating rice paddy is successfully growing! Great job and keep it up. I look forward to your next video. Be safe and take care. 🤗

Leave the husk on your corn when you cook it in the fire. Chickens are easy to domesticate. Its keeping them alive thats the hard part. Build the chickens a well built coop that will keep them safe. Good luck friend

please don't forget that chickens need to drink water. make a cup of water for them near the cage, so that they can always drink it.

Looks like eggs are on the menu now. Mmmmm scramble eggs

A chicken coop is more to protect the chickens than to keep them from running away. You should make it so that they can go in and out during the day and close it up at night. You also need to water them.

Duong Sir your knowledge and skill is second to none , I not surprised of your achievements the building of the main Pond showed your understanding of not only construction by the Engineering requirements , You are unique my Respect to you Sir from down under Oz land

Please don't eat them 😟 just get the eggs...

It's a little late. If anyone else wants to catch a chicken follow it to it's roost area at dark. Catch it at night. Aim for the feet not the wings. Just a farmers tip.

That corn looks delicious. Food that is harvested has a better taste than food that is purchased.

Don't forget to leave out a little water bowl for the chickies

Taming wild chickens might be very different than domesticated ones. But in my experience with domesticated chickens it's as easy as having a nice enclosure, feeding them and spending them with them. Eventually they will stay around the house even if you release them because they know you feed them. Making them cuddly, so you can pick them up and such, is a bit harder. You'd have to spend a lot of time with them, every day. And let them get used to being touched.

Hi, you can make an automatic saw that turns trees into lumber using the waterwheel. This is possible with the pedal system with chogwheels and gears in order to increase the rotation speed of the saw.

Everyone has already made great suggestions for the chickens, and I agree cooking the corn with the Husks still on is a great way to cook the corn. I am surprised you've not made some thing like an iron griddle to cook on.

don't forget to give water to chickens and chicks they love water

Garlic, leeks, onions, and the like deter rodents. If you soak the rice for a few days, it will ferment and be more nutritious. You're English is coming along. Keep up the excellent work.

Mother can risk their lives for their child, whether it is human or animal or bird. One like for all the super moms 👍

Wild hen and their offspring love classical music. Play some Tchaikovsky, Mozart, they will be happy. But they will stay with you for ever if you put on some Handel operas!

Yay!!! It’s my bday tomorrow!!!!

Try a lightweight “chook tractor” made from bamboo and design some wheels from solid timber to move it around. They process the ground and when you move the “chook tractor” it will be ready for planting and seeds once turned over. Chooks are fun and economical birds to have as friends.

Great work my friend. I’m excited to see what’s next!

8:30 Absolutely stunning ! Cheer ! I really like it

Soak the whole corn with its husk in water for a bit, then put on the coals to steam and cook in its covering. the silk will come right off and the corn will be sweet and juicy. Give the corn cobs to the chickens to pick from!

i was always wishing for this video to happen. my advice would be to give them their time and space,slowly they will get used to having you around them.

Please make a clay stove and oven in your outdoor kitchen. Then you can bake bread and cook other foods without even watching…. Love you and your blog. Stay safe.

Great job on catching the hen. I own and raised chicks from eggs and have roosters, hens, and chicks as of right now. You’re doing great they will eventually get to know you and won’t be scared of you. You will be able to let them roam around freely as long as you keep them fed and happy and have a place for them to roost at night, chickens love chicken coops bc they feel safe away from predators at night that should be your next project for the chickens. Love what you’re doing very educational!

Yes my wife & I have, the hens are notorious for not wanting to be tamed but when you have them from chicks they're pretty easy & food is the common denominator. It certainly looks to me like you are doing everything right quite naturally👍

про курочек это круче даже чем про рыбок😄👍

I have had chickens. Give them a good sized pen. Keep it clean. They need access to clean water. Give them your fresh corn so they grow fast. You can give them dried food if it's ground up but rice is not enough. They need more fresh food to forage on and insects. They will take the leaves off of everything in their pen so make it easy to move so you can keep them on fresh plants, always. They are good at eating weeds, so use them in your garden! Look up videos for chicken tractors. Be kind and make sure they have a good life.

feeding the mother and chicks together will ensure them to bond to you and see you as a non threat, and the food source. also the corn waste is good for your feathered family, oh and chickens will eat the dead fish too. they need protein too. also you have the wooden planks use them perhaps for the out buildings if the main house is to get clay tile for the roofing. wish you all the best and thank you for adding in the communications in your videos. thank you stay safe.

The tip is to make a very wide place with a very high fence and strong enough to contain the chickens, that is, build a chicken coop.

The best thing you can do for an animal to trust you is to be around when it eats, that way it will think you being around is a good thing, as you are the one who brings food

The chicken cage so small if temperary it's o.k, but l think u will make very large, thanks. Finally u r very smart for pickup mother of babies.

the corn the chickens, man you are amazing and compassionate.

you should try boiling the corn. if you could make butter, butter the corn. dehydrate the corn stalk, ground it and make corn startch, dry the corn, and stalk, and grind it to make corn meal.

Клетка просто супер!!) и ТЫ тоже СУПЕР!!! Очень нравится смотреть тебя!!!))

You don't "knit" the chicken cage, you "weave" it. Apparently, you weave very nicely! It's a great looking cage.

That's so cool to see the roasted corn popping like that ! 😋 hahaha 😆 the first popping corn I can smell it now it's must be amazing! Your an unbelievably hard working man I'm wishing you the absolute best in your life and hope everything you want comes true! Your very lucky

Please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 give the chickens water. Haven’t seen them drink friend. EXCELLENT EPISODE!!! Love it

That was a fascinating process of catching and taming a chicken 👍you now have fish and chickens to look after but the source of protein will be very welcome and worth it 👍fantastic video thanks 🙏

Very cool. I grew up with chickens. My mom sold the eggs to help supplement the household. Be patient is the only advice I can give you, and don't give the chickens to much rice. It swells up in their craw and it could harm them. They would do better on cracked corn mixture. Chopped veggies, and greens and some of those grub worms you dig up from time to time. Mostly what you eat. That poor fish would be a good source of vitamins maybe. Our chickens ate everything. We had 150+ at one time and lots of chicken dinners. If one of the roosters showed any aggression, my dad would take him to the back of the coop. Rooster noodle dinner that night. To this day some of my siblings can't stand chicken or eggs in any way shape or form. I myself love it. Bring it on. I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters in case you were wondering. We just had them in a coop (chickens not brothers and sisters, although; some of them should have been in a cage, but that's another story.) made out of wood, but you could knit big panels of bamboo and create a nice chicken area. Once the chickens get used to being there, they will come and go from the coop area on their own. You can open the door to the coop in the morning and they will come out to graze and scratch, then when evening is near they will go back into the coop for bed and you can shut them in for safety at night. Until that day though you need to confine them. They will need a roost for sleeping on and for safety. They like to be up off the ground when sleeping. When they are old enough the hens will need a nest box off the ground for laying eggs. I'm so happy for you. They are beautiful chickens, and I wish you all the luck in the world. Oh and also they need plenty of fresh water, but you have that covered. They are a blast to watch doing their chicken thing.

I can't wait to see chicks grow up😁👍

Bamboo is so amazing and wonderful! I am growing yellow stripe bamboo, hopefully in a few years I can start to use it.

Build an 8x8 roofed pen for them. You will need a door as well to lock them in at night. Also a coop for shelter. Make SURE the the walls cannot be climbed. Many predators will climb the walls and get in that way.
