  • Did you know you can easily trick baby chicks into believing you're their mama hen? Here's how.
    Please note when I'm "brooding" baby chicks, I only touch them very lightly. They are capable of easily walking away if they want to. Don't ever squeeze baby chicks - they are quite fragile.

    The opening of this video made me want to cry. What a hard way to start life. I wish I'd found your channel sooner. I got my first chicks two weeks ago. They seem physically healthy, but they don't show any interest in me, and sometimes they're scared of me, and I think I missed the window to bond with them. These are things nobody tells you when you're getting started with chickens!

    • @thefeatherbrain
      @thefeatherbrain  2 года назад +19

      That's why I started the blog and RUclips channel - there was so much I wish I'd known when I started out that nobody talks about. And I've found there is so much good information in the scientific literature that's never reached the backyard.
      It sounds like you missed the window for imprinting, which is the easiest and fastest time to bond, but don't worry. You can still bond with them and potentially have cuddly chickens if you'd like. The best thing you can do is just spend a lot of time with them. They will likely be somewhat flighty until they start laying eggs, then they'll settle down some at that time. I'll do some more videos on things you can do down the road to bond with flighty or fearful chickens.

    My daughter found a baby chick in a parking lot! She knew I wanted chickens and called me. I couldn't get a heat lamp for 3 days so I toted this tiny chick in my shirt for 3 days and slept with her in there too. She followed me everywhere ate with me snuggled because I was mama! This video is so true. I now have 5 chickens and 4 babies coming tomorrow. All were raised this way and the grown 5 are sweet. Of course my first is my baby and rules the roost!

    I got my chicks yesterday. I did the trick with my hands on them in the box because we had a 35 minute drive home and it totally worked. I'm working on imprinting right now. It's going well, they are even responding to my dip dip dip and come out from under the brooder when I say dip dip dip. Two of them are very bold and like to peck my glasses lol.

    I talk to mine when they're still in the incubator, even before they've hatched, encouraging them to finish pipping and unzipping and telling them what good babies they are while they're drying off. Good to know I'm already doing it right! Will spend more time personally brooding the next hatch with smell and touch.

    • @thefeatherbrain
      @thefeatherbrain  2 года назад +1

      That's wonderful you start talking to your chicks before they hatch! Studies show they start imprinting on voice while they're still in the egg, so very nice your chicks get to experience this.

    This is a great information! Those poor hatchery babies, it is one thing to hear it but seeing it really drives it home. I talk to my chicks in the incubator and encourage them while hatching then talk to them after hatching. We use a stuffed animal in the brooder and spend a lot of time with the chicks close to our bodies, under a blanket or in the coller of our shirts/robe. When transporting young chicks I take a little hand warmer packet under a towel they stay warm quite a while. Seems to be working well so far. Some are still very affectionate others don't particularly like being handled but they tolerate it really well. I did the same thing with my quail and most of them aren't super happy about being handled but they allow it and one of them actually comes when he is called and is really good being held. This stuff really works.

    This is a great video. Bought 3 'clearance' chicks they were older and I knew they weren't gonna last at the store much longer. Put them in my living room in a kennel and talked to them all the time especially when coming home from work when I would open the door I would ALWAYS say, "Hello chickens" and just chat at them for the rest of the night. Played classical music at bedtime when the tv was on. Now when they run the yard, all I have to do is yell...CHICKENS once or twice and they come to be put up in their coop. We chat every day. Sometimes I have to close the back door because they love to 'gossip' about the neighbors. 🤣

    I missed the first day window, but their third night with us they’d recovered from being mailed and one would get up every hour and a half and…yell. The next night I found a clip of “mama chicken puts her babies to bed” and played it while I moved their heater over to their sleeping area and gently shooed them over to bed. They stayed and slept quietly all night! I play a clip of “mama hen calls her babies to eat” first thing in the morning, use the eye contact trick, and now when I open the side of the brooder they all come run into my lap. The one that had been yelling is always first and stays longest - she was looking for her mom! I haven’t heard any distress peeping since.
    Notes:
    Bedtime and “morning” at sunrise and sunset. They’re in a turtle cage, so there’s a separate “inside sleeping” area. I really want them in the habit of going inside to sleep!

    I have a Silkie that hatched 3 babies and they were with their mum for about 1 week or so? And I became like their step mother because when they were took out I only managed to get 2. 1 was small and quiet but another was bigger and kept crying. I calmed them down my picking then up in my hands and warming them up with my breath. The next day I could get the 3rd one and I realized that they didn't get enough food. So now I would take the chicks out, calm them down and they actually get bigger because they're in a box with food and I'm near them and watching over them. I don't let them out because they might get bit my something which sadly happened to one of the previous batch of 3 chicks. I think putting them to sleep is good because in my case the chicks were very cold and my holding them in your hands and warming them up with your breath makes them warmer and they will start to accept you like a 2nd caretaker

There were some children that were playing with some chicks and one of the chicks decided to follow humans and not their mom. Their mom attacks them when she sees them now because it left the mom. I put the chick under the mom but every morning it cries out loud infront of my door and i dont have time to take care of it. How do i make it so it doesnt see me as its mom? I pushes it around with my fingers since it sees my fingers as head to stop it from following me but it kept on getting up and running after me. What do i do?

    im currently hatching some of my own eggs to sell. if i hear a peep or see an egg rocking in the incubator, it immediately goes into my brooder box (i make sure its a proper temp and humidity of course) and i make sure to stay home that day so when they peep i can whistle to them and gently rock their eggs. as soon as theyre dry and able to walk, they get held multiple times a day and when they arent held they have the option of a brooder or a heat lamp. if im going to be gone for a long time in a day i call someone to go stand in the room to at least speak to them and whistle to mimic their cheeping. talking to and mimicking babies of all species is SO important for them to bond with people and to become friendly, happy, and most importantly, healthy (both mentally and physically). as i type this im sitting next to my brooder talking to my 2 pipped eggs. in the brooder there is also a mirror so that if one chick hatches much earlier than the other, they can see "another chick" and not feel lonely. of course whether they see the mirror or not i talk to them the whole way through. if i have to leave i often place my phone near or inside the brooder playing mama hen noises for them and i also place any free standing stuffed animal in there for them to hide underneath like they would with a mama. i love my babies very much, even if im not keeping them they deserve so much love and kindness :) this video is loaded with great tips and you wont regret following the steps. nothing will ever fill your heart with more joy then cupping your hands and watching 5 baby chicks all rush over to cuddle up in there.

    I just found your channel a few weeks ago. Last October, I hatched a single chicken because the hen who brooded this and 3 other eggs gave up and stepped on one egg and broke it (there's a developed chick in it). The other 2 eggs were not viable. I hatched this last one using 40w bulb in a mixing bowl in my office (I work from home). I didn't know what to do to this chick but it seemed to like it when I put it on my lap and put a terry wash cloth, dry, over it. Then when it got bigger, I put it on my clavicle. If I'm not working, I would put it on my lap and bent my upper torso over. These were the surest way it stopped crying. Unfortunately, since he's a single hatch, there's no other chickens of his size - I finally learned that it's a male chick (I called him BoPeep), I had to give him away.

    I save my babies' lives because their chicken mom did not take care of them . Named them Godzilla, who looked at me with her little eyes and layed her long neck and head on my hand . Made me fall in love with chichens then theirs Raven , Killer, who turned out to be a rooster in the end . My babies are spoiled rotten and live with me in my house . They are family members. I don't even eat the eggs because that would be like eating my grand babies .

    My hair is a bird nest right now quite literally yep I have an inconsolable little one I placed on a Swiffer dusters and held it against me it only calmed down once it crawled up under my chin, behind my ear and into my hair it slept finally all night. It came from the hatchery via USPS sleeping on top a dead bonus chick they had sent so I’m sure that was stressful. My post office isn’t known for their gentleness

    Its a known fact that chicks hatched artificially (heat lamps) develop physically & mentally much slower.
    This isn't my opinion, its factual.
    I'm buying breed stock to bred our own based on these articles & tests.
    I do love making my own chirp sound when I greet my chicks... every time they see me.

      Scientists are constantly trying to improve artificial incubation methods and rearing, but so far, nothing can compete with a mother hen. And I doubt anything ever will.

    I’m 10 years old why do you not just get baby chicks from your hen’s wouldn’t it be a lot easier than having the 1 Hour Drive By the way my name is Rosie

    • @thefeatherbrain
      @thefeatherbrain  Год назад

      Hi Rosie! My hens don't go broody, so they won't actually hatch or raise any chicks for me. But you are right, a true mama hen is the best mama for a baby chick. Although, I do have a lot of fun raising them myself!
