- Many have asked about them and here are finally a whole video dedicated to them - my beloved chickens. This year may have been the most dramatical year for me as a chicken mum, a tragic spring that again and again came with new devastating insights and challenges, and then finally some sort of sunlight among the many clouds - Hedvig and Ingeborg.

When Alma came into the coop and sees the chicks and the dramatic music and the look on her face like “what the heck is this shit?” Omg hahaha I died
Hahahah you can't do anything else than just love them😂
Elin: Because chickens should not be alone
Me, tearing up: Be c au se c hic k e ns sh o ul d no t be al o ne
Your tiny dinosaurs are so wonderful!
I cried watching this. Losing pets is the worst feeling and the grief is awful. Sending you many hugs!
Wishing all three chicks (and you) a long, healthy and happy life. They're lucky chickens indeed to have such a loving mother.
I am so sorry for your loss of Dunhild, Solbritt and Astrid. 😓 Losing pets really breaks one's heart...💔 I am so glad that you found new friends for Alma! 💕 I love chickens - I would love to have my own one day - and this video was so touching. By the way, I also loved that it was in Swedish. 😊
*THE SECOND I CLICKED* I knew the phrase "the fox has got them" was coming... And sure enough - 2 minutes in the fox arrived.
1) Chickens make WAY better pets than you would ever expect, they are GREAT
2) All chicken stories end with "The fox got them", foxes are astonishing at getting chickens. They will chew through chicken mesh if they have to to get them, I've seen it...
We lost are two older chickens to a kit fox this year, we found it's footprint. For the 2nd kill it got into the coop and killed her in her resting place. We moved the coop and made it sturdier. We still have three Austtralops. I feel for you.
I had SO many chickens. The first group was killed by foxes. When we got the second group, we built fences, and set up security cameras. It didn’t work :(. The THIRD group had chicks and they grew up and one by one were picked off by the family of foxes that lived in the woods. I love chickens, but I think I’m gonna stop getting them haha.
@@jlin592 My Uncle who lived in Los Angeles had a terrible problem with coyotes. He lived on the top of a ridge in Los Feliz, you could barely see the Griffith Observatory from his yard, and lost dozens of chickens until he installed roll bars on the top of the pen. His original flocks were illegal and he was instrumental in allowing back yard chickens in LA county.
@@jlin592 - And they always start with the nicest, the really expensive ones LOL. I live in a city now, but my sister has chickens - replacing chickens cos the fox got them is just part of the cost of ownership for her. She has tried everything but foxes have a reputation for cunning for a reason...
@@kevinconrad6156 "His original flocks were illegal and he was instrumental in allowing back yard chickens in LA county." WOW thats cool.
Well here I am on a bus crying over chicken. Bless their little feathery souls 💙
@Katerrinah - Your post pushed me over from the sniffling edge to the tearful edge.
"Ska du få kompisar Alma?"
Alma: GHRHRBRHRJJGHGJRH...
I didn't expect this to be as touching as it was...
I loved the Swedish. The swedish word for careful is similar to the Dutch word, voorzichtig. It was nice to recognise a word.
yes same, I am German and recognised some words. here it is "Vorsichtig". I wanted to pick up some books about language evolution here in Europe for so long... really should do this at some point.
Thats cool the german word is vorsichtig its so interesting how similar some of the words are
I was about to comment the same! I actually recognised a few words of Swedish as well! The word for calm is indeed really similar to the Dutch 'voorzichtig'!
@@Iisa1010 I too recognized words from German! It was super nice :D
Same😅
Adorable raptors! I'm called Ingeborg too, haha. But you pronounce it much harsher in dutch, in your language it sounds sweet.
Hahahah now I became very curious about the dutch pronounciation😂
@@elinabrahamsson9442 forvo.com/word/ingeborg/#nl This is such a handy website for times like this, haha. We have all the harsh g's.
My boyfriend's grandma is Ingeborg too haha but with german pronounciation! It's a lot softer in german, seems to me.
My grandma was called Ingeborg too! Also with a German prononciation :D
@@kana0kitsune Yeah, while not super unusual it's not a very common name here and I have no idea why my mother named me that but in Dutch so many things have hard g's in them it's a normal sound. People say german sounds harsh but I think Dutch is way more so, especially with all the swearing that's also normal, haha. (I don't swear myself, never got into it)
I adore your talking to Alma, just like a mum to her 3-year-old child on his first day at kindergarten, it's just so lovely!
Please say I’m not the only one who just balled their eyes out over three adorable chickens? 😭 Also Hedvig and Ingeborg are so cute. I hope Alma gets on well with them
Don't worry, you're not :P
Two of my mom's chickens passed this year (of four). One was taken, we think, by an eagle. The other got sick. So she was down to two, and her rooster, which is *way* too few hens for one rooster. So then she got six chicks, five of which ended up being roosters even though they were all supposed to be hens. So all those fellows got rehomed, and she ended up with six more from the breeder as replacements. *Then* a friend of hers said she was getting rid of her two hens because she was moving, so Mom ended up with those two as well.
So she went from 4 hens, down to 2, and now she has 11.
That all happened between March and September. She says she's happy to have so many chickens to keep her busy during quarantine, even though she's only getting about 1 egg a day since most of them are either too young, too old, or too stressed from changing homes to lay anything.
I never imagined, I would cry for chickens, I even never met. Beatiful video with a happy ending
A girl in a nearby town has four pet chickens, somebody complained that farm animals weren’t allowed/welcome in town limits, and they had to fight to keep them, ultimately moving just outside the jurisdiction so their young daughter could keep her chickens. They’re her emotional support. Friends, not food. So sweet. 🐓♥️☮️
I just knew a predator was a part of the story somewhere. In my case, two of our chickens fell prey to two different snakes. I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved friends, but very happy that you've found the 2 new girls to share yours and Alma's life and adventures with. May you have prosperous and meaningful years to come ❤️
I was taught as a child that new members to the flock should be slipped into the chicken house at once all are asleep, so chickens and new chickens wake up in the morning together and figure they must know each other. Makes the smoothest entry for chick's.
There are different ways to do this and I'm sure they can all work. Why we decided to go with this method was because( as you maybe saw) the size difference between them was huge and if we would just toss them into her, I'm not sure they would survive it... So we needed to wait a bit until they grew some, but we still wanted them to feel each others company.
@@elinabrahamsson9442 We have always put another pen next to the regular pen to introduce both new and older chickens and it has always worked. I could see ACS's working well with adult chickens.
@Aibrean Corvid Shular We do so with more adult chicks and yes, it works very well. But new chickens live separate for some time before they grow a little.
Yes there are easily a dozen or so different ways that work. Brightest Blessings.
I hope to watch more of your videos in your native language, really wonderful
People who have never given chickens a chance have no idea what wonderful little critters they are, with vibrant personalities.
What a touching and beautiful video! I really loved that it was in swedish, and I would love for you to make more swedish videos in the future! I'm so glad Alma has some new friends, chickens are so cool, I can't wait until I can get some :)
Oh! I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear ones! Chickens belong in a cooperative flock with no one really on the bottom. I’m so glad you found feathered girls who need your love!
Adorable. Glad I watched this ! You have a talent for storytelling.
I didn't know chickens could be so friendly! Also, nordic chickes are nicer than the average italian one!
*CONGRATULATION ON AN AMAZING YEAR - 63,300 SUBSCRIBERS...!!!* You deserve every one of them, your videos are astounding quality, gosh I remember you at 1200 subs...
So calming and peaceful, what I need right now. Thank you xx
I am so sorry that you lost your friends, but thank you for sharing this beautiful and touching video with all of us. And welcome, Hedvig and Ingeborg!
I'm so sorry for your loss - I can't imagine losing three of your four chickens so quickly. But Hedvig and Ingeborg are beautiful. I hope they can help you heal.
This was unexpectedly amazingly dramatic and engaging - kudos to the editing! Also, I never knew one could have chickens as pets - my family has always just had them in a coop (giving them greens and chatting to them, but nothing like this).
Loved seeing this video and you caring for the new chicks and Alma, introducing them to each other and ensuring that they will get along with each other.
Loved listening to your native language and really appreciate the subtitles so that as an English speaker I can understand what you are saying.
Keep up the great work! 🥰
I would 100% watch all of your videos in Swedish, it's lovely to hear you speak your native language!
THIS made my day! As the owner of 6, then 4 and sadly now NONE chickens I can attest that when the die it is so darn sad! Of original six~one lived 7 years~ the last 4 were thrust upon me to watch over when folks found them here and there...OH and one rooster who was rehomed after it was rehomed with me. (roosters...now there is a completely different kinda bird!NEVER AGAIN!) ENJOY & I'm super jelly! I use to take mine camping in my RV with my dog. After something hurt the original 3 when I was camping in my VW camper bus, back in the early days of chicken ownership!) MAN I should have filmed them like this!
I'm very sorry for your losses, and I hope that Hedvig and Ingeborg live long, happy lives with Alma!
I am so sorry to hear about the losses you have had this year😢 It is so hard when those we love are lost to us, and my heart goes out to you. I hope poor Alma is feeling more secure with her new friends! Welcome, Hedvig and Ingeborg! We look forward to seeing more of you!💕
❤
What a beautiful tribute to your feathered family members. ❤️ Also, it’s awesome to hear you speak Swedish more!
The same thing happened to my chickens. We had four hen: Helga, Olalia, Hernrietta, and Analisa. We came home one day and found only Helga and the other three gone... later we found three piles of feathers. It was devastating. Helga cried and cried all weekend. So, after, we went and welcomed 4 chicks into our home, and Helga was delighted. I think some people don't realize how much chickens feel. I remember coming off of the bus from school and they would run to me. They would follow me around in the house and outside. They would chase dogs away and would be so merry. We had 4 chairs on our balcony and each hen would sit in the same one all the time and chatter at each other. It was so funny... I love them all so much!
The joy of having pets is tempered by the pain at their loss. It never gets any easier no matter which kind of pet it is
Did I expect to cry about swedish chickens at 9am? no. Did I? yes. May the chickens be safe and protected
I'm really amused that you named them Hedvig and Ingeborg. Of all the combinations for you to choose! Hedvig is my husbands grandma's name and Ingeborg was his moms name (until she changed it because she didn't like it)
Poor Alma, she's been through so much! But it was fun watching her with her new friends and I hope it goes well!
So loving relationship between you and the chicken. It's something people would never think about.
It’s nice to have a small, more manageable amount of chickens or ducks. 2 out of my 4 chickens are (mini) Bantams that I’ve had for 12 years.
Only you could create an enthralling video about chickens that would leave me on the edge of my seat. 😂 I'm so sorry you had to go through so much loss, but it seems like Hedvig and Ingeborg have settled in nicely! (Also, thanks for the Swedish listening practice! 😉)
Hahahah thank you! 😁💕
"Money can't buy happiness but it can buy chickens which is pretty mutch the same thing" haha loved it.
It was extemely sad, but then is was so cute, and then in turn hilarious and adorable. Perfect. Long live all your chickens !
I am so sorry you lost your wonderful girls and I am sure that Dunhild, Solbritt and Astrid are sorely missed. It was wonderful watching you get new chicks and Ingeborg and Hedvig are beautiful.
Oh my goodness, I was so sad at the beginning of this video. That's so much tragedy so close together
Aww, I'm so sorry for your loss! I got attached to your chookies in your videos. I lost my last old precious chooky, Cricket, to a fox while I was away too. I felt so bad because she would have been fine if I'd stayed home because she had decided a few months before that she slept inside on my bed. She was family. She was toilet trained and knew her name and would have conversations with me. I'd had her since she was an hour old. I miss her so much.
Your new girls are adorable! And their names are so cool!
But most of all I love seeing other folks appreciating chickens for the wonderful creatures that they are, not just a potential chicken dinner.
Lol....your dad is very wise. When he said the reason that the darker chicken is quiet is because “.......maybe he’s a thinker...” I knew he was very much in touch with nature.
As a fellow farm girl whose had chicken and now is forced in the city, I love this video so freaking much. It's like going back home.🤗💖
Thank you for sharing your 4 toed feathered family with us.
Thank you for sharing your loss of your pets. I lost 3 of mine as the next door neighbor's 🐕 dog came into our yard & killed my sweet chicks🐓 I have 3 remaining and next week have 3 new chicks coming home to join my flock. It broke my ❤️ heart to loose my girls 5 months ago. The other sadness is the neighbor stood in his yard and watched his dog attacking my girls and never made any effort to stop their dog. He has not apologized either. I will protect my flock from that happening again. 🌩️ I am so encouraged to see your new chicks happy and getting along with the Queen. 💞
I lived on a farm from age 6 to adult. I raised chickens and loved them all dearly. I'm sorry the foxes came for Astrid just after losing Dunhild and Solbritt. I am so glad Alma was able to accept Hedvig and Ingeborg! Hopefully she will continue to teach them all the good ways of finding the bugs in the grass and running fast if they see danger.
naww the little chirping of the nervous little chicks
What beauties, they remind me of the ones my uncle has, who enjoy their days sitting beneath the pine trees! It is awlays a tragedy when an chicken got caught by fox. But I remember also the pet bunny in the neighborhood - even though he was old and became erratic, always breaking through the wire and in the end he was last seen running in the woods.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have a friend who’s raised chickens for years as well as ducks and they are her feathered children. We have cried with her when they have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and celebrated with her when new youngsters joined her brood.
I’m glad you were able to have Ingeborg and Hedvig joking your family.
Awww...they are sweet!! I had several dozen different fancy breed laying hens over a 13 year period. I brought my chix home when they were 3 days old and they stayed in the guest bathroom bathtub until they were too big. I used to lay on the floor and they would snuggle with me and take naps...I miss them so much! 🐔💜
I CLICKED SO FAST I LOVE CHICKENS I WISH MY BACK GARDEN WAS BIG ENOUGH FOR THEM EEEEEEEEE
Also does anyone know what the music is at 9:04 ??? I really like it ahah

@@rachelc1492 thank you!!!!!!
Sad to hear you lost three of your chickens... but apart from the sad in the beginning it was a lovely video. Wish I could have chicken as well it, it was wonderful seeing how well you seem to care for yours. Also I loved how I could understand everything you said to your chicken, but not a single word from the conversation with your dad :D
So precious. Love this video. I wish you and all the chickens a lot of good times with many happy memories to be made over the times to come. Hoping the coming year is the best one yet for you as a chicken Mum. 😊
I'm so sorry for you loss...but over all this video made me so happy. It was wonderful seeing your chicks get acquainted with Alma. Thank you so much for sharing!
Only those of us who have avian pets, no matter the species, know how wonderful they are. I'm sad to hear you lost three chickens this year but I'm happy to see you've welcomed two new chicks to your family. Ingeborg and Hedvig look adorable and very cuddly and watching this video definitely made me want chickens in the future! I really loved this, Elin, it's truly a wonderful video
This video made my heart heavy in the beginning. I'm a crazy chicken lady, I've been keeping them for over 10 years and I cannot imagine life without them. I have lost some of my chickens (and ducks) to illness and predators. I have loved every single one dearly. My favorite hen was diagnosed with cancer last year. She's doing very well, and has maintained her position as the flock matriarch without any of the others trying to pick on her. The tumor is growing very slowly, and I intend to keep helping her so that she may live a happy life. Thank you for inviting these lovely birds into your heart and home. I hope they have many healthy and happy years to share with you.

My two little nieces live on a farm with chickens (their bane is hawks). The girls love the chickens, pet them, cuddle them, feed them from their hands, too. However, they are practical farm girls who do not hesitate to have a chicken dinner now and then, the bloodthirsty pair! I could never do that to chickens I have petted and named.
The joy of finding out your chickens laid their first egg....
It happened to us a few weeks ago, and safe to say, there was some happy screaming involved
Gotta love a video that makes me cry over someone else's pets
Honestly I teared up too! That's so sweet. I'm so sorry about your chickens passing away, but this is a sweet tribute to their memory.
Hedvig and Ingeborg are lovely! If it's no more effort, you could do all your videos in swedish and just put subtitles. I love your natural swedish voice, it's very pleasant.
Thank you, I'm glad you think so❤ No you may actually recognize it from the "mid 19th century working womans dress" videos!
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
On my family's farm we had a terrible problem with raccoons. We lost birds every night no matter what we did. Even trapping relocating and even killing the raccoons we would still find bodies every morning. We went from an established flock of over 75 chickens including pets and show animals beside the layers and breeding stock, to nothing in just over a year. It was so painful.
I can't imagine what you must have gone through knowing all your birds were pets.
Getting real AChickCalledAlbert vibes here. Loving it!
6:30 And Alma is thinking "WHAT is this? What are these little chicks doing in MY yard!?"
I love the suspenceful music as Alma sees the chicks in her coop. Major drama!!!!
I have never seen a movie about chickens that was so touching. Absolutely lovely 🐓 🐓 🐓
We live in Deep East Texas and have always had chickens. They're just like any other pets: there are smart ones and not so smart ones. lol And then...there are people who do well with chickens and those who don't. You, Elina, are most definitely a Chicken Person! ...and they know it, right off. As for the foxes...we can't fault them. They do what foxes do. And we do what we can to keep our livestock safe from the foxes and other predators. That does not, however, relieve the pain we feel when we suffer such losses. I just looked up "fox deterrents" and there are many gadgets, potions and such on the market. You might want to check into such to see if you can add a higher level of protection for your Feathered Family. Thank you, once again, for such a beautiful and touching video, hon. 'Twas wonderful!
I’m so happy that your family is feeling a bit more complete again ❤️ wishing the best to you and your hens
What beautiful birds. I wish you many years with your lovelies.
This was so sad, but I'm glad Alma has new friends. I've been researching about Silkies lately because in my later years once I move back to the east coast--I want a small homestead.
So sorry for the loss of your three chickens. I’m so happy you and Alma have new friends now!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your chickens and am so excited you have added new family members to your flock!
Congratulations on your new ladies. Condolences to you and Alma for your losses. May you all have many happy years together. ❤️
Congratulations on your new friends. It is so lovely to watch people who love animals.
This was lovely, they are adorable! And I loved the dramatic music 😅. We got chickens last summer, and it's been such a joy watching them grow and play. I now also really feel the moment you have a chicken on your back and can't reach to get them down. Ours are a lot smaller, but they do love to climb!
I’ve lost many hens that I raised from chicks. It’s so hard when they get hurt or killed😔 I love that you treat your hens so well. Chickens are so sweet and personable. You have such a kind soul💗
I've also carried a bird on my back. It really is hard to find them with your hands again, you can't see them after all. I kept a baby starling for the first time, it was great. Went to a bird rescue to learn to bird from his species, I cried so hard, but he must have a good life out there. I'm glad to have had him. He was lighter than a chicken, which I haven't had on my back (yet, hopefully), I really want some.
This was SO beautiful! And sad, but then happy... so glad it all worked out well!
Very sorry for loss of your feathered friends. Wishing all the best for the new members of your family!
Thank you for sharing! Wish your chicks happy, long and safe life!
Started crying as soon as I noticed all the past tense being used in the captions about the 3 that passed. This is also so interesting to see. Chickens scare me a bit cause they look super fragile to me and I don't want to upset them
I am so happy that we got to be introduced with these two adorable new chicks. And i am very sorry for your loss, too. My parents have had chicken for like 10 years, and two years ago, one of our first chicks, the one i liked the most, our little grandma, died at age 8. She was named No Future because she looked like hell of a punk. Chears to all the chicks in chicken paradise
Awww Ingeborg and Hedvig are adorable. Has Ingeborg started her piano lessons, yet? She looked like a natural up there.
My hen, HoneyNut, passed in December 2020. She was/around 10 years old (and a darling!)
Awwww, such a lovely little featured family. I long to have chickens but our city does not allow them. You make the mist beautiful and relaxing videos. Keep up the great work.
I'm truly sorry for your loss 💔 I'm glad you were able to find some friends for Alma! Thank you for sharing with us. Beautiful video, as always !!
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! I love my chickens! They are such a help to me after my mama passed away last year. Again thank you
Haha, just this morning I told my sister to name her new pet Ingeborg, she didn't want to, but now you did :D
Finally we named the new pet Renate XD
Such a sweet video thank you. I'm sorry for your lost ones, I'm glad you got the new babies, they are lovely. I love chickens and was so sad when we had to give them away when we moved.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭 I know what it's like to lose a pet and a friend. You have such a beautiful soul, Elin. I wish nothing but a long and happy life for both you and your new companions. Please keep us updated!
This has to be my favorite video to watch to test my Swedish! I understand more every time!
My goal someday is to have chickens of my own. I hope mine are as friendly and beautiful as yours. You treat them so kindly it’s no wonder they are little angels.
I just found your channel. Your chickens are beautiful, and I’m so sorry you lost the others. They seem to be very happy!
I'm so sorry for your loss, and glad you have new feathery friends in your life.
