They are called Silkie Chickens. They are not good for meat, but they lay good eggs and are the calmest chickens you can get! They are also the most popular breed
And they stay put when freed until forced to move🤣 I love my chickens, but sometimes I look at their heads and wonder just how tiny that brain must be to manage all the stupid crap they get up to…
They are not stuck, they are perching due to the design of the entry. Silkies are actually very intelligent and excellent mothers. Get some silkies and check it out. You will amazed at how loving, friendly and smart they are. 😊
The crazy thing is they'll likely starve to death instead of move. I found a sheep that was seriously skinny by putting its head in a coil of fence and then thinking it was stuck. All it had to do was WALK BACKWARDS which I've seen them do, and it would've been freed. But 2 more days and it would've died of starvation.
Chickens have very bad night vision so they can get stuck and lost if they return to the coop too late. I have heard that some people install a small lamp in the coop to help the chickens get onto the roosting bar because the coop can be even darker than the outside.
They are not stuck, they are perching. The design of the entry is a perch to silkies or any chicken. If you make the floor of the entry flat on the inside for at least a few inches so they can not perch your problem will be solved. I am glad there were 2 in the door because some automatic door break their backs. Just a suggestion, if you have silkies that don't like the ramp use shingles on it instead of the wood peices. No broken feathers or stubbed toes with shingles. Paint them white if needed if the ramp is in direct sunlight. You can also put the dollar store plastic fence on the sides at the top of the ramp for the silkes that are afraid of heights or their poofs get to big and they can't see. A game changer for me! Silkies are the most friendly and funniest chickens eve, I love themr. Enjoy!
@@linear7d check out my latest video of the safety feature of the run chicken door. And I thought about your suggestion of getting rid of the flat section and already removed the board behind the door. They still seem to stay there. It’s mostly my white silky that’s the problem. All the other chickens go to the roosting bars. Just one slow one out the group 😂
I've seen videos of the same thing...half in, half out chickens. Some try to roost of the frame of the doorway because inside of the coop is dark. One guy put a small light in the coop to help his chickens see the roosts when they go in at night so they could get up on them. No more half in, half outs. I think he programmed the light to go off an hour after dark...I don't remember.
😂 Thanks for the laughs! Chickens aren't the only animal idiots though. We used to have a border collie/lab mix who managed to have 2 run-ins with a skunk, and it was probably the same skunk both times because it happened in our backyard both times. Once wasn't enough of a lesson. Neither was twice, as we both nearly got skunked on a third occasion while on a nighttime walk. Some local cats had actually riled the skunk up, and it was about to skunk them when we came along. The cats took off, and I somehow managed to drag the dog to the other side of the road, and continued dragging him along on our outbound walk. The skunk was gone when we came back on our way home. As to how I knew that the skunk was about to skunk the cats, well, they will often do a hand stand when squirting their stinker gland. This puts the stinker squirter up a little higher, so the stinky stuff can reach higher up. This skunk was doing the hand stand and was about to squirt the cats just as we got there. By immediately dragging the dog across the road, I put us outside of the skunk's personal triggering space, so it didn't squirt us, but continued to do the handstand until we were some distance away. The cats and skunk were there to raid the garbage bin behind the KFC on the corner. It's no longer there because the place went extra crispy in a fire a while later. Don't think anyone was hurt, though. There was a Pizza Hut a block away. One time, we were walking outbound on the road behind the businesses when we passed someone from our street walking home with a fresh pizza. As soon as my dog caught a whiff of the pizza, he immediately did a 180 degree turn, and tried to follow the pizza.😂 Had my hands full getting him to continue our outbound walk.😂 He was the favorite of all of our dogs with everyone in the family. Miss you, Max!
I have silkies.. They are very special creatures. I have 7 silkies, 2 buff orpingtons, and a game chicken. 5 of the silkies are the children of my first 2 silkies, they all sleep inside of the coop at night. The parents (Genos and Merlin) sleep under the table on our patio. Our patio has a deck and the table has metal bars under it that they like to perch on. I live in a large city so there aren't any predators. We have homeless cats that I care for and sometimes I see them in the backyard getting chased by the chickens. The cats show zero interest in them luckily. They are very chill cats. About a month ago I came home after doing some shopping, I saw one of the hobo cats that I named Juniper... She was splooting in the grass in my front yard as always but a tiny bird was attacking her. Poor kitty was getting divebombed and she didn't even care. The funny thing is that the bird was a CATBIRD! The catbird was attacking the cat! Juniper didn't mind at all so I had to scare the bird away from her.
@NOPE-po2pq I thought so to at first until some of our chickens were flying over a barrier fence and getting killed by coyotes. When you live on a farm you have to protect your animals at all cost. It keeps them safe.
I have a door similar to this but it features an anti-pinch design. If it senses anything in between the door and floor while closing it opens itself back up.
@@OffGridInvestor They make it that way So theres no chicken revolution U see the big farm never let the chicken to grow into adulthood n develop consciousness of their existence
That's why I'll never get an automatic door. I'm just way too afraid that chickens will get stuck or die. I don't mind checking on my chickies before the sun goes down to see if they went in yet and close the door myself.
Honest question: what’s the point of the electronic chicken door if they can get stuck anyway? I’d figure in a situation like that the door would spring back open to let them in and close after.
@@MrResin-xk2mf the automatic door closes at dark to keep them safe from predators that may try to find their way into their run at night. Raccoons are ruthless to chickens and are talented at finding ways into runs and coops.
@@CaptainDave_0 well, that makes sense. Just wish it wasn't so dangerous for them 😕 especially if you were traveling and they were like that all night. Anyway, glad they are OK.
Do you have a vent fan and water inside? They where panting, which my chickens do when hot, so they might have been roosting in the door trying to cool off.
Agreed. If anyone has silkies they know they are actually very intelligent, so you know. They were perching at the entry because of the design. They are not regular chickens and people don't realize some things have to adjusted to accommodate their size, personality and their top knots because they literally can't see if their feathers are not trimmed. I love mine too and will not buy or breed another kind of chicken after having silkies. ❤
I love my Silky and other chickens. I do not understand or like this human propensity to criticise chickens (and instal machinery that does not work). Humans are the great force for negativity with exceptions.
Chicken Mom's and Dad's are the best and take it serious. It may be funny to look at but it really is a life or gruesome death situation. They were perching, they were not stuck. I love my silkies too.
@@linda7999 it’s a run chicken door. It closes and if it senses something blocking it from closing, it will then open back up and try to close again. If it feels resistance the second time, it will then stay where it felt resistance. I tested it with my hand and it’s not painful. Only concern would be if it closes on their neck, it happened to my black silky and I was nearby when it happened so I helped him.
