Can't get over the shot where he's putting new eggs in front of the hens, and they're all "yes, my children, my bigger egg babies, those go under me, all these are mine now" while they scramble to get them all under them
Broody chicken tend to be "MINE NOW" at anything they can slip under them. 😂
@@crowdemon_archives Its funnier because White House on the hill believe they tricked the hens.
@@crowdemon_archives i remember having a broody chicken when an epidemic surged through the flock.. there were no eggs available for hatching so i just slipped a used lightbulb underneath her to keep her away from the flock.. totally helped😅 though i guess, she most certainly wondered why it took so long to hatch it😆
@@aizne lmfao
Move 'broodies' at night.Keep head tucked in=Not inturupt 'broodieness'
The peachick with the bent leg looks like it might have a slipped tendon and that's why the leg stays bent. Like splay leg, it happens sometimes shortly after hatching. I had a couple chicks with the bent leg and I found that carefully stretching the leg out and making a splint sometimes helps correct the issue.
Oh, good suggestion. I wondered if putting a splint or type of cast on the leg might help. I'd love to find out later that this little chick got better.
❤️❤️❤️
I've seen splay leg corrected by placing a rubber band ( with just enough tightness) above the "knees/elbows" of both legs, holding the crooked one in the correct position. Don't know how long it stayed on.
Like the babies. .just a gentle massage every morning does the tricks..
Thank you for putting that because in case that happens to one of our baby chickens whenever we hatch some I can tell my grandma that.
The duckling was so sad when they took the peachicks away 😂
Yea
It wanted to follow its family 🐥 🐥 🐥🐥🐥🦆
I miss having poultry. I had a male silkie that liked sitting on the eggs then he would hatch them and raise them. He raised various kinds of chickens & ducks and also some Guinea fowl all at once. He crowed and they attempted to crow. It was adorable. I wish we had smart phones back then so I could have recorded it.
🐣🐤🐥🦆
Awesome silkie doing a yeoman’s job worth!
I love the fact that the parents are teaching their children to appreciate farming and raising animals.
IKR I bet raising your own food would be fun not only that but I’m sure it tastes fresh and you know the animals were treated well! 😃
@A. O. what's wrong with that kek
@A. O. plants are also sentient 🤓there has been a lot recent research proving that plants have a sense of the world and can detect “pain”.
@A. O. plants are also sentient 🤓there has been a lot recent research proving that plants have a sense of the world and can detect “pain”.
@A. O. does it matter how much a thing has suffered. Does it make it more ethical? Apparently, lobsters and other crustaceans don't have a brain, but does that make it so torturing and killing a lobster is the same as with plants? Are we going to feel bad for something based on the level of its intelligence or whether it has a brain or not?
The broody mamas were so sweet! Good job girls.
They were amazing!
I don't think they can read this sadly....
They/he/she were just saying they did a good job, that doesn’t mean they have to hear it-
@@berrythemooshroomcow ok groomer
@Matthew Hurren, like @Rxd-Rxsx-? What is that supposed to be?
Dr Pol, the vet from Michigan, would make a splint for the pea chick with a crumbled leg. He would stretch the leg out with a split, probably made from a tongue depressor or something similar, and let it stay on the chick for 2 to three weeks. After that time, he would un wrap the splint and see of the animal can walk successfully on it's own.
Unfortunately your a bit late, the chicks have all passed away
@@SenseiHarambe Why all chicks passed away ? Where was wrong ?
@@nilasspasov8417 probably cause these people were handling them too much. If they were touching and playing with them this much on camera, imagine how much they must have handled them off camera.
Those little things are so delicate. You shouldn't touch them all the time.
spiderman no wau home< how do you know what are eggs for eating and eggs for hatching ???
@@nativesrilankan7545 they had fleas, and some other things that I couldn’t remember
Once, I put 5 silver pheasant eggs under my silkie and she hatched them! Silkies make amazing mothers!
I love how these videos don't hide anything about the way our world works, he just admits that the chicks died, bit he also shows you the amazing side and how life's created. I love these videos!
That’s a great comment❤
How this came into my recommended is beyond me. I said to myself that I would give it a chance and before I knew it I watched the whole thing. In a world of negatively this was a breath of fresh air.
Thanks, Jason!
Same thing gahahaah
Exactly!

So happy for your children- growing up in such a happy natural environment
I love that you involve your kids in this process.... that is such a great memory that they will cherish when they're older.

Yeh, I do think it’s tough getting eggs shipped from sellers as the issue of temperatures at shipping facilities, on trucks , at departure location and receiving location are rarely known or controlled. Glad your seller compensated & recognized CUSTOMER SERVICE goes beyond merely taking your money! Congrats on the successful hatch!
I would have loved to grow up like these kids. Great parents.
No you won't
@@stellviahohenheim kid, he said “I would loved to grow up like these kids.” so shut up
@@stellviahohenheim everyone loved animals as a kid teaching them to take care of them its beautiful u should get of ur phone and enjoy real life
@@kaseymigliaccio2519 fr i have dyslexia and even i know that 😂
same
Just for the future, don't go near them when they are pipping. Either the incubator door or the hen. The humidity suddenly drop's and that's when they get shrink-wrapped. I learned that the hard way.
Gosh do I LOVE your greenhouse. That's my dream! 🥰🥰🥰
Mine too
The big problem with the white peafowl is they’re plagued by health issues& early death due to colour morphs like those being genetic “mistakes”. There’s no denying they’re very pretty though, and I’m glad the seller wanted to help “make it right”. There ARE good people out there, but sometimes it can be hard to find them. So kudos to the seller (and you & yours as well).
12:16 ohhhh the duckling wanted to go with them!!! My heart!!
And I’m no bird specialist, but the chick with the hurt leg looks like it’s getting around on one leg so well! Idk if it’ll survive, but if it makes it, I think it should be named Bo (bow)
lol yea, the poor duckling. "mee toooo !"
that so sad 😞 and cute😍 I never got this much likes thanks guys!
@@M1SS_C1RCL338

....wait, 'bow' like "take a bow"(like on stage before an audience) OR 'bow' like "tie the ribbon in a bow" ?
_I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the duckling trying to go with too!!_ 😊
@@jaginaiaelectrizs6341 I was thinking Bo (bow) as in bo legged because one legs isn’t working
it is really great to provide the beautiful environment for your children. Coops are cute and chickens are really beautiful😁🐔🐓🐣🐥🦚🐤
I think maybe get like a spall on the peachick, so the leg stays straight and has support from the small wood piece. Thats what i think of and i hope that peachick grows strong!
Kind regards from the netherlands
Ye that's what I was thinking and if it doesnt work make it a breeder peacock
But what my Worry is, Is that if the wood piece breaks and puts a Splinters in it's foot...
Ayo why did you think making a base in the nether was a good idea? Its gonna get blasted off by a ghast at some point

This makes me feel so nostalgic because I was raised on a bird sanctuary/farm. I loved all the crazy peacocks, peahens and so many other birds. Even though the peafowl could scratch up any shiny surface (like cars), I still loved seeing them roost in a huge Oak tree, the boy's tails hanging down like some fantastical iridescent vine. Birds just feel like magical animals.
I so agree. Most Majestic of all the animals to exist.
Agreed cuz i love birds i got 6 budgies and a pidgeon the pidgeon was a baby and dies the second day in my house ;'(
Make the number 5 mah male got stepped on
Nice video
Not exactly a quiet bird but very beautiful.
Our tiny local zoo doesn't cage the peacocks and they enjoy sitting up in the trees in the park.
I remember coming across your channel about a year back. I immediately got sucked into the hatching! But now, I just wanna say, you done good with the whole family. Your kids are growing up well and you and your wife are still smiling. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us ❤️
I am 12, and I have been interested in goat horses and chicken for over 2 years. I love watching your RUclips videos because of how much information about your animals and tips and tricks on how to watch ducks to chicken.
For the pea chick with the wonky leg, see how far you can get the leg to stretch out (without hurting the little guy too much) once you see how far it goes you can try to make a splint for it with some popsicle sticks and some tape or rubber bands, try to let it heal and correct itself a little bit ya know?. It may not be as straight as the other legs but it may help it walk around better.
The peacocks are cute
@@Muslelord1 agreed
@Matthew Santos Yeah!
I was literally about to sleep, saw your Insta story and rushed to see this. Safe to say it was worth every minute. Congratulations!!
Thank you
This is so wholesome! I admire the love for nature you nurture here and I'm glad the project worked out for y'all.
I love this video. It’s so relaxing with beautiful music and broody hens and chicks. A wonderful slice of farm life!
The odd air cell line you were seeing is a partially detached air cell. It's typically due to being jostled around during shipping. Fully detached air cells will look like bubbles floating around the egg before you even incubate them.
I always candle all of my shipped eggs before incubating them because eggs with fully detached air cells will develop inside the egg and then drown while trying to hatch 😔 The eggs with partially detached air cells still have a good chance, they just have less room to develop.
They all hatched, so not a problem. Just weird to see.
Does that suggest that once pecking commences intervention could be considered to have a successful hatching.?
spiderman no wau home< how do you know what are eggs for eating and eggs for hatching ???
The leg issue is a slipped tendon. I recently had a baby chick that hatched with the same issue.
Unfortunately it’s unlikely that you could cure it, from what I’ve seen and read. But not all hope is lost. I’ve heard some good stories too!
Sometimes if you give them yeast, vitamins, and other good things (for growth and development.) It’s said that some have grown out of it. But more importantly, they can live up to a year or so. Until their weight and growth is too much for their one leg to handle. But they can still live a happy life as like an indoor pet or just living by itself. I’ve seen people attach a sponge or cardboard by adjusting it’s height to match where the slipped tendon leg rests. Just so the chick can apply pressure to both legs and move around a bit easier.
You can fix slipped tendons but you must be delicate. Depending how long it’s been you can usually get the tendon back in place by straightening and maneuvering the leg into the correct position. If it’s been too long you will need to rehabilitate in different ways but ultimately it might be too late… but can be fixed if caught early
I once had a chick with a slipped tendon, but didn't discover it in time. Decided to keep it and hope for the best. Grew up to be the tamest rooster I've ever seen. Go around just fine with one leg but couldn't fight.
For sure try to fix that leg
Taking care of the chickens was my first job on the farm. Your well made video brought back some very old memories. Thank you.
Your kids are wonderful, such a good life for them; warms my heart.
I remember when you guys tried before and sadly they were normal peacocks..... Soo glad this worked out in the end..... Lov Ur content.. never stop....❤️❤️❤️
bro really called them “normal” peacocks 💀💀💀
Peacocks need space . That coop is too small for them
@@nouvel0001 use the normal comments with normal english and “normal” peacocks
@@y3etas4urus I don't claim Queen's English as it's not my native language. Tho in this case it's a typo , now corrected
@@y3etas4urus I didn't mean anything bad .....just that from where I am from.. we can see a lot of the peacock variety they already have....so thats why I mentioned them as normal peacocks...
It’s a really weird concept to me, getting bird eggs that can hatch through the mail. I always had the idea that if an egg spent more than an hour without the heat of brooding that the chick would die and never hatch
Everyday is school day 🤙😎
Yes! The more you know.
heck even some of the eggs that weren't sat on for a day still hatched in the incubator. They need heat but they can sometimes survive a moment or two without it.
Sometimes when you crack an egg open they have a bloody or fleshy dot in them. That's a fertilised egg you can use and the yoke is really the food, fuel for it to grow. Aye
Depends on the species. We raised many chickens/ducks and the hens spent far more than 1 hr off the eggs with little to no difference in the hatching rates. If the nest is properly constructed by the hen bird it will keep the eggs warm etc while the hen is feeding etc. I have even seen ducks having a dip in the dam and within literally minutes sit on the eggs. Seems they know when they need to lay on them and when they can get off and how long they can be away from them. Unless the drake or roosters were too old they averaged 90%+ hatchings.
Below 90% mom and dad went looking for a new Drake/Rooster.
And no, the old ones were not beheaded. They were put out to pasture in a seperate pen until nature took them from us.
She could smell it, see it and feel it. It was no chicken egg to her, but the kind soul wanted to be a mum💝
This is the first time I have actually been jealous of someone else’s life.❤ Love your videos, your family and your farm. Keep up the great content,thanks.
The one and only company that wanted to make it right totally pulled through. I feel like the people should know the business name. That is excellent service! And you got all white peachicks. So cute!! Congrats.
Seven peachicks, seven dwarves? 🤔 Easy naming there!!
I had to smile so big when they just kept hatching and where all white
Happy for you, god Bless you and your Human and Animal Family ❤
Hi, Great video,...! Retired zoo Keeper here, 73, I've had ANIMALS all my life. Just a suggestion on the nests, of the surrogate mom's.
I used small Dutch HENS, a few YRS BACK to HATCH standard Barnevelders,.... 3 eggs at a time. I made sure the nests were deep enough.... used a soft base, couple inches, fine sawdust, clean soil, sod etc.... then a few inches soft nesting material, deep enough to keep bowl shape.
YOU want the nest to keep that nice bowl configuration. The eggs, need a deeper bowl, since the eggs being set, are usually larger than the HEN would produce on her own.....ex COCHIN bantam, covering PEA FOWL eggs. Granted your HATCH was great, but just a tip... to avoid any problems,.... should the weather change etc.....great videos, I enjoy watching...... Thanks... RON SHOOK...Adirondack mountains of

There is nothing more exciting than a successful hatch! Silkies are such good Mommas. Happy for you and interested in seeing their progress. Your children are so sweet and learning skills that are so important.
16:43 onward is a wonderful clip of your son with the peachicks. Keep it for him as a memory, it's really delightful.
You’ve got a wonderful set up. I love to see children involved with the hatching and gardening. Great parenting!
I like the partridge Cochin
Yeah gotta learn kids to respect nature and animals.
Glad I found your videos. They are refreshingly wholesome.
Lucky children to grow up like this. Wonderful video. Good luck with all your animals.
His love for his animals is so transparent, I enjoyed this alot
Silkies are ALWAYS a solid choice for hens to raise eggs.
This reminds me of Patricia Polacco’s book, _Just Plain Fancy_ . It’s about two little Amish girls who find an unusual egg beside the road and give it to a hen to set.
What does the egg hatch into?
I don’t want to spoil it for you (it really is a delightful book!), but I’ll say that the girls hide the fancy “chicken” because they’re afraid he’ll get in trouble.
Idk why this vid was recommended this, I know hardly anything about this kinda stuff but I sat and watched the whole thing and it was very enjoyable
Glad to hear it 😀
Same!
Absolutely fascinating! What a wonderful way of life to raise a young family. I love seeing how into it the children are. And man! What a beautiful assortment of birds. I say species that I have never seen before. Great job little farmers!!
That was so interesting, I didn't realise how rare & how difficult this is.
I LOVE this video!! I am in love with silkies and peacocks 🦚!!! When I saw the silkies going to sit on those eggs I was literally cheering for my heroes!! Fabulous!!!
So very happy this went well! How beautiful the new babies will be! Excited! Your garden looks incredible! Can't wait to see the sunflowers!
I’m glad you got 7 chicks from the 9 eggs. I wish them all long, happy lives. 😊
I only just stumbled upon this channel,I am subscribed to JPThebeeman and so yalls channel about honey🍯 is what popped up.. I watched it and thought I'd check out some more of your videos and so now I have watched 4 and I'm am subscribed to your channel now too LOL..
I just wanted to say how lucky your family is,what you all have going on with your farm,bees🐝honey🍯lake,growing your own foods🌻,raising animals🐖🐄🐥🐓🦆 etc. That is really living!!💙 Right now because your kiddos are still young they may not realize or understand just how lucky they are to be given that life.. They're CLEARLY happy little boys🧑🏽🧒🏽👶🏼 and that is all you can hope for as parents👫.. I'm pretty excited😊 that I found yalls channel and I look forward to binge watching your videos so that I can get to know who all of you are and what has been going on up to this point..
It's been a while since i've seen the family
When he said "backup plan" I was betting on a Silkie 😂 My grandpa had two of them particularly for their broodiness. It's a pity they don't have much space under their bums, but they are so reliable 🙂
I love the momma hen gluck-gluck-gluck sounds. 🥰
I don’t know much about chickens but the silkies seem so pretty and sociable.
Wow! Finally white peachicks! So happy for you guys! When my parents used to raise peafoul they bred for mottled colours and they were always my favourite as a little kid. Maybe when these chicks are old enough you could try for some mottled mixes with Belle and Blue!
Just did a bit of research to see if there was an 'official' name. Apparently the colouration is called Pied. Mottled still sounds better to me.
This is a great life. The kids are having such a rewarding growing up on this farm.
Why did i just found this video now?
Your videos are so calming and all that farming stuffs
When you pick up peachicks it’s just adorable like, “meep me a white pea chick!”
I just watched this video again for the second time and I am just really touched by the gentleness with what you handle all of your birds and how loving you are to the animals and your children❣️❣️♥️❣️❣️
I really wish you great success in saving all of these white peafowl chicks! They are so beautiful as adults and it would be quite a success story for you to Town if you get them to adulthood and safely living on your land. They truly are beautiful when they are adults. Your children were so sweet with them❣️
Still love the picture of the sun laying down with all of the baby peachicks laying on his belly… The smile on his face was priceless❣️❣️😊♥️♥️
4:12 “Get out of here!” 😂
You and your children are blessed to live on a beautiful farm with so many cute animals!
Your patience and tender loving care is remarkable. Thank you for sharing this very interesting video.
I never thought I would be so fascinated by farm life. Maybe it's because I'm not able to do what you do, physically. Living vicariously...
You have some gorgeous chickens there. They’re obviously well looked after. I enjoyed your vid. Thank you.
My wife and I are loving this video, congratulations on your beautiful family!
What a beautiful upbringing for your kids… they’ll remember this moment for the rest of their lives.
So happy for you guys ,this video made my morning, 4 years of wait finally payed off 🥳☀️can't wait to see them full grown, good luck and all of the best wishes ✌️🍀☀️🌻
Omg, I haven't watched one of your videos in a while, but I remember your older ones where you were first getting peachicks! I'm so happy this worked out so well for you. Congrats!!
Wow what a beautiful farm you have, such lovely beautiful animals 😊
What a beautiful family! Pure heart, and pure soul of compassion. I couldn't help but be brought back to my childhood days watching this amazing family! May this family lead others to follow sweet family morals.
Awesome!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m so happy for you guys. The hens did an amazing job.
Awe! That is so heart warming 😊
Great idea!! Good on you! ❤🦚
All the hardwork and failures you guys been through is finally worthit

never too late ! go get yourself some animals :)
15:04 what kind of duck is that? It is ADORABLE
My life was so much more peaceful when I lived on the farm and I really enjoyed the animal's... the farm is still there but I now live in the city up north. I gotta say that I sorta miss it. Thanks for the video ❤
I had peacocks probably 6 years ago. I miss having land for lots of animals. So happy for you guys
I love this family I’ve been watching them since day one they have come so far and they seem so much happier with less stress on infrastructure
What a lovely and wholesome experience. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on 1 million subs!
You didn't trick them, they just felt sympathetic towards you. Thx for sharing!!!!
Congratulations! So glad that you got that rectified. It's going to be amazing to see how they grow!
Seeing those little white pea chicks just had me smiling and tearing up 🥲🥰
Congrats !!
Thank you, Darlou
Hi world.. peep peep! I'm happy to meet my new home 🐥🐣 I'm gonna be
LOVED YEA! 💕
I haven't watched your channel in years. It's awesome to see your own children get so big!!!
I’ll never forget our first hen who laid an egg. We had to take it away from her as none of them were going to be fertilized. We had only hens. That hen cried. It was so heartbreaking. As a mama myself, I felt her pain. It just simply broke my heart hearing her cry. That was thousands of eggs ago.
That’s awesome!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼love watching your videos!! They always make me happy 😃 thank you for sharing your love for everything!!
My son sent me your video. I loved it! The broody hens, all of the critters, your sweet family, wonderful. I wish I had figured out how to farm and have a family both. I think what you are doing is pretty awesome.
You didn't trick them. They knew that's not chicken eggs but they helped you out for their own curiousity
Even though u guys are not posting videos regularly , i say its worth the wait . Ill be so excited when u guys post a video. The video always contains the full process and every single process will be captured in the video. So nice to see how you guys love the birds and animals . Love from India 🇮🇳
I just love the farm and the open space they have
I’m so pleased you’ve had success in getting whites and a good number too! Fingers crossed all goes well with them🤞
As for housing, I suggest blue and belle to go in the aviary, then depending on how many males and females you have from these whites, I’d suggest putting a white peacock and a few white pea hens in the aviary also. Allowing any spare white peacocks to free range whilst you have a blue and a white peacock to cover blue and white peahens.
Can’t wait to see the aviary done!😆🤩
